If he took a CR-V engine and is using its factory power i think its a rediculous idea.
The K24 he is using is no longer close to stock.

This swap actually makes great sense. Someone always has to complain about engine swaps. Naturally aspirated F engines have their limitations, K engines have much more potential (at a cheaper cost also). At least there is still a Honda engine in there, not a 2JZ or LS1.

Actually I did. I had a 2007 civic si before this. It has a k20z3
I think the K is nice because of the VTC
I wish honda could have added that to the F series atleast in the 06-09 cars

No, its not close to being the same car anymore.
It has much more potential than where it is at now. He has a few more plans for the car over the next few months.

Does this owner drive the car at the limits or is this project just for the fun of it?

Oh I agree with you there, but the minute he goes fi, then the whole thing was for not. How much more can he gain over an f20/22 staying na with a K series? I am seriously asking because I just dont know the k that well.

Seems you have insight into the owner.

that's why honda discontinued the S2000
coz the K series engine success.
Who knows if a next generation of "s2000" would have a k or other similar powerplant.

as for the op. the k24 swap sounds interesting. the only thing i did not like was that he had to tear the engine to get better numbers than a stock F-series engine. talk about loss of reliability, and you all know it.

I looked on wikipedia about the K engines. None of them stock made over 200 hp, and didnt rev up to 9k. Im not a mechanic, or a know it all with engines, but looking at those numbers it doesnt seem smart to do. Am I missing something?

He drives the car way too much just to be a project "just for the fun of it". He has put 8000 miles on the car since the swap has been completed. Now that he has a few bugs worked out (there wasn't anything major), he is planning on heading to the track soon. He was tracking with the F20 in, and I know he wouldn't have done the swap if he hadn't planned on tracking again.
