    Andy built me a K24 for my RSX type S a few years back, turned out beautiful. I guess you can call him the K Series guru. He is a excellent mechanic and very timely, but most of all his pricing is quite reasonable.

    Wow! Some tight racing there around 3:31. Thank you so much for the audio, great to hear a K-series doing that thing it does :) Loved having that lap at the end to get a feel of how the car behaves

    A K-series is on the "someday" list for my Elise. Why the K24 over K20? Torque?

    Are you limited to manual transmission in this series? I heard you talking about milking power from every angle since you're HP limited and a few people are installing BMW DCTs into their S2000s. Shifts ungodly fast and would help against your battles with detuned vettes and whatnot.

      In terms of the K24 itself, you can find them for $1000. However you’re correct in saying that it costs more than that to get it “up to standard”. The swap alone costs around 8-10k depending on how ocd you are about new vs used parts. I’m speaking from recent experience. I just got my k swap from these guys at ASM and where I thought I was gonna spend maybe 8k, I’m about 10-11k in right now due to needed new parts apart from the swap package. No fault of ASM’s though. I think it’ll be worth it in the long run from an affordability standpoint based on the F series being harder to get parts for etc. However, I do prefer the sound of the F over the K series.

      He's speaking about the serviceability of the engine. You can hoard all the K20/k24 blocks right now and race for years compared to relying on the low amount of used F20 engines on the market. A bolt on k24 with a k20 head will make more HP than a f20.

      @@kenS87 of course it will, it’s bigger displacement. If you use a k24 crank on the F20 and turn that into an F24c it would still match or beat it

    • @kenS87
      @kenS87 Рік тому +5

      @Phil Gledhill the K24 has a lower compression and the bigger displacement is only good for torque. The f20 is maxed out for its NA potential and requires costly upgrades to bump HP. The k series just has more bang for your buck when modifying it.
