Your the exception though.

Please don't take any offense, but your not the avg. tuner. Ive never met you Skip, but from what I gather your an established man who probably has the cash to do such a project where as a normal kid in this hobby cant afford alot.

I myself am going Hayward 50mm ITB's next year. Once they are tuned im going to build the head up, and possibly stroke the bottom end or raise the compression up a notch.

 

Anything is possible with the right tools.

See, if you have to remove 4mm from each rod (2mm each side), who is to say they will be 100% equal and balanced. Exspecially since they hide the information about how to mod the k24 crank. I cant justify doing all this machining to the internals, assembeling the motor and then after a few hundred or thousand miles it takes a crap because something isnt machined right.

 

Those are my thoughts EXACTLY! it just can't be as simple as it seemed... altering the design of an engine and making it work properly is very delicate and precise work. And from what I have gathered, the people running this setup aren't your normal every day kids modding their cars...

So in the end...good setup this might be...but to get it to work you still need a lot of careful work and tools that most people might not have at home...

 

Like I said earleir, not many have this setup. Amuse is rumored to be using it in their GT car, and magazine might have it running since they published the article. Im sure a few other people might have it, or are trying it out though.

Have you heard the latest debate now? Few guys are trying to swap the K series head on the f20/f22 block. Theirs a big thread about it on Honda-Tech.

 

what's the point?

 

Its a cheap way to get a stroker kit.

2.4 liters once your done with it, and most of the parts can be sourced from a dealorship or junk yard. If something brakes the availibility for replacement parts is there.

 

Although the factory oil squirters can be used if modifications to the nozzle are made, Castillo recommends using AN plugs to seal the factory squirters.

 

Haha I had to go back and read the article for that one. They shaved an even 2mm from each side.....I'd be worried every second I was driving the car wondering if they were balanced at all. I seriously do NOT like that idea.

 

I know I'm kinda late jumping on this thread but has anyone done this yet? I would love to see how it turned out; if it's reliable, what cams you can use, how it revs, and what kind of power/torque it makes.
