Great content Nick I learn so much from you. I have a Lotus K24 turbo swap in the process of being built. Here is hoping our results mirror what I see on your site.
I actually managed to make 320whp on my stock motor r18 with about 4k$, but I build the turbo kit myself and bought minimal new stuff and tuned it myself Point is it is difficult to make decent power with a R without being better off K swapping, but not impossible
i also knoe that the asian market had the R20, dont know if it would make power with R18 bottom end and R20 top end, and also im auto, so i think 195-200whp will be just the right amount.
Huge fan of the channel!!! Im at a crossroads right now. I blew my z3 in my si last week. Bought an rbb2 k24a today. Was going to use my z3 head but valves got hit when the engine went. What advantage would there be to buying a new rbc z3 head and putting in drag cartel 3.2 cams, over just putting the cams in the rbb2 head? Looking to make close to 260. Also what about the headers I already had in the car lining up with the new motor. Thanks!
i have yet to see a stock k20z3 run 06 tsx cams which is what im running right now and i also have a k24 on the side that im building with rbb3 head and will be using those cams too
Is it recommended to use 50 degree vtc or would 45 be better? I have seen people saying there can be interference with a 50 degree gear so I’m not sure. If anyone could help out that would be great.
This comparison is bs. You have plenty of 07 engines on his channel making under 230hp and all of the sudden this one makes 20whp over it. Nick is not using correction on his dyno so in summer same car will put out 220whp vs winter 240whp. Making statement that 06-08 cam makes 20hp over pre flc cams is palin retarded. That is how much you gain with dc drop in cams.
actualy there is video on his chanel where car makes same power as this one with those shit cams : JDM K24A Swap Dyno Tune EG Civic - Intake Comparison
@@Esdru221i have explaned it in last video. People who have dynos without correction standard shouldn't compare data that is not done within the same hour or two.
Boost or nos would be the way, if you're really handy and resourceful you can put a turbo on for pretty cheap My first setup I had running for a bit over 2k$, T25 from a sr20det Random freebee intercooler Amazon charge piping Stock kseries injectors, stock pump Used the ol K&N sri to house the maf sensor 70$ at the hydraulic shop for the feed and return Act stage 2 clutch Flashpro on a RNA A13 ecu from the states Was comparable to a mk7 gti with dp and intake+ stg 1 tune (allegedly)
@@daynerampersad8968the only way that you’ll actually will be Able to make that power is going fully built motor adding cams pistons and rods springs and retainer porting and polishing e85 and the r20 crankshaft should make close to 200 probably 190 and upgrading the injectors to 450cc you also use the j35 throttle body as well
Yes it should be an RBB head. Stock it is NOT safe or reccommended to go 8k rpm on these. You need RSX Type S oil pump and should also do the 50° VTC before revving to 8k.
I always appreciate you and the owner willing to share details of these builds
Im not the owner but i have a similar set up with boost..what u like to know
She sounds healthy and it is also the perfect street setup !

@@turbone54 there's always someone faster ,320 is a great achievement without swapping the engine.
Monster street car. Love it
Nice gains 💪🏻
nice sleeper build to bust some heads on the street

Thank u so much❤❤
Whats is the advantages of rdx injectors? Compared stock TSX injectors?
I want to do something like this someday too, get an LX-S and swap a K24 would be a sweet sleeper 😂
Hello Nick, Is this setup on stock fuel pump ?
Sounds great! What muffler / resonator
Are they using?
i have yet to see a stock k20z3 run 06 tsx cams which is what im running right now and i also have a k24 on the side that im building with rbb3 head and will be using those cams too
How much HP?
That’s because the tsx cams fall off after 8k rpms an the z3 revs to 8600 so you lose some usable power
I am running 2.2 drag cartel cams on k20z3 fbo making 228whp 159 torq
@@tonym4136 what's rev limiter at?
@@qual1356 8600 rpms
Why not go Skunk2 or Drag cartel cams ?
I wonder how the type r cams would do
Im literally trying to build a k24a 06 civic lx right now. Its gonna be great. If anyone has any tips please let me know
What can u do to have it keep making power passed 8k rpm?
K20 cams are a good option for upgrade a 04-05 k24?
The 04-05 intake cam is pretty weak. Better to go with an 06-08 intake cam or Z1 intake cam.
It was the intake cam only in the vid that made more power. The k24a2 intake made all the difference over the jdmK24a intake cam
So this car came with r18?
What fuel are you running?
Is it recommended to use 50 degree vtc or would 45 be better? I have seen people saying there can be interference with a 50 degree gear so I’m not sure. If anyone could help out that would be great.
On a jdm k24a, my z3 is starting to go to sleep :/
I have a set of JDM cams but they are RBB-3 cams. Are they similar to the TSX 06-08 cams? (TSX cams are currently installed)
JDM cams are the same as 04-05 tsx

Any cars with 4piston racing rr3 cams dyno vids?
What’s the vtc settings
how can i get a bit more power our of my r18 say around 200whp. cant afford a swap.
Boost or nos would be the way, if you're really handy and resourceful you can put a turbo on for pretty cheap
My first setup I had running for a bit over 2k$,
T25 from a sr20det
Random freebee intercooler
Amazon charge piping
Stock kseries injectors, stock pump
Used the ol K&N sri to house the maf sensor
70$ at the hydraulic shop for the feed and return
Act stage 2 clutch
Flashpro on a RNA A13 ecu from the states
Was comparable to a mk7 gti with dp and intake+ stg 1 tune (allegedly)
5-10psi of boost, injectors, fuel pump & a tune.
I was wondering if K20 intake manifold, throttle body injector and fuel pump.with a tune will at least give me 180-195 maybe the 200whp

Did it have the 50vtc with the old cams too?
This is a good question. The gains shown are pretty significant from OE cam to OE cam. Surprisingly high
Has to have 50vtc, don’t think it’d make that power without it
He said the only difference from this setup and the old one is the 06-08 cams. Everything else was the same
Hello,is it RBB head? Is it save to set the RPM until 8k?
Yes it should be an RBB head. Stock it is NOT safe or reccommended to go 8k rpm on these. You need RSX Type S oil pump and should also do the 50° VTC before revving to 8k.
That seems like too much for oem cam...? In others videos almosy there is not difference between 04-05 k24 and 06-08s...
Also cut port and polished rbc, type s oil pump, 3.5 inch intake and on e
