how much for just the head?

Rufus
08-28-2008, 05:13 PM
$50, this incentive is so that you'll take the entire thing.


Alternatively, I have the head that came off my car that sucked water. All the valves look fine and I just poured $400 into it to get milled and get all guides replaced and a complete valve job. You can have that beesh for $150.

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 11:21 AM
those numbers around 10k are for the cars that are considerably harder to put K series into. You have to add a lot more parts and do more modifications. Those numbers are also including labor rates. Our cars are probably the easiest to put a k into. the only reason i spent so much extra was because I got ripped off on a lot of parts

The God Damn Batman
08-29-2008, 11:21 AM
^^ wow if thats the case, that would be for sure the better option of the 3

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 11:23 AM
I chose to put the better head on and everything. If you just want extra power by a k24, dont swap heads or pistons, and run it like that. get a crv motor and you will be at 160hp/160tq

The God Damn Batman
08-29-2008, 11:24 AM
awesome man.
ok this little convo seriously kinda made me change my mind. is yours I think A1 or A2?
CRV motor bout the same price??

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 11:25 AM
at that point you would still have a stock reliable honda motor. The numbers are a little less than boost, but we all know the headaches that go along with boost.

08-29-2008, 11:26 AM
i have a k24a8 bottom end with k24a2 internals and a k20a2 head

i dont know bout you but the electrical part is what concerns me the most

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 11:43 AM
electrical is simple as hell...there almost isnt any. I am en electrician anyways. The main problem was following a not 100% accurate diy. My other problem was I used the wrong rings so i was getting blow by. My cooling issue I am still working with... sort of but it is fixed for the most part. I think my condenser might be bad so thats why i am only running hot with the ac on. When it is off i sit at 140-160 degrees. other than that i havent had an issues.

The God Damn Batman

08-29-2008, 12:11 PM
how many miles on that head?

The head (not on the motor) had about 80k on it, but it has been completely refreshed. That would cost you $300 on ebay PLUS shipping and I'm just asking $150.

someone just buy his fucking motor!!!! its a 50 dollar motor! just buy the fucking thing and if the bottom end isnt usable then sell the head and intake mani!

No shit, the head is worth triple that.

too many questions for a dirt cheap motor and head hell I might stop by and take it from all y'all no questions asked.

lol I like you

true true but I wanted to just go NA on the d17 for now save some money, be satisfied for a year or so, once the cars all paid off then start for boost or K maybe

n/a on a d17 is as useless as no armed man in an asswiping contest.

8gs noooooo not close

you dont need 8gs you can do a very mild swap for under 5. maybe even under 4
YES

depending on which motor and which way I go na or fi ill be in 4-6500 range tune and running....


in not saying your wrong at all cuz of all people on here you would know but since when, cuz everywhere i saw when i was looking a few months back was saying 8-12k. for that much i could just get an ep3 or rsx and be happy
8-12k is more of a shop price and is fucking stupid and yes better off buying a rsx/ep3
i spent just under 7k on mine and i honestly spent about 1500-2000 more than i should have.
yepp because people lie and fuck around sold wrong parts to you...

Our cars are probably the easiest to put a k into. the only reason i spent so much extra was because I got ripped off on a lot of parts

plus think of it this was

eg + b18 = easy
eg + K = not so
em2 + K = easy
em2 + b18 = not so

a k into a em2 is like a b into a eg


i have seen entire k20a3 swaps going for around 2.5-3.5k. that includes engine, tranny, ecu, wire harness

well remember I found that a3 with tranny ecu harness and axles and subframe etc... for like 2k awhile back


you just gotta search for this stuff and find the best deals....

dang, i thknk ill just save up for this instead.
BTW hows the car runnin besides the body dmg

do it, remember when you asked me whats next or something on club civic?
this is next lol

running strong! no problems since i fixed my cooling issues
when you go to do this hit me up and i will help you figure out what all you need
word phill knows his shit he has a folder of all k motors and info etc... he knows his shit


now that i know what to expect i can prolly do the swap in a weekend

160whp na d17, isnt bad considering the lack of love for the engine.

Good luck getting 160WHP for less than boost would cost. The car is 127HP stock (assuming it's an EX) which is about 107WHP. Gaining an additional 53WHP means gaining 60.95HP. For a car that LOSES power when you add a CAI, that's a HUGE jump. Boost will get you much higher. I was at 175WHP (approx 201HP) and that was off 6# of boost (5.7# actually).

to do the kswap dont you need the bottom of an rsx then kpro then reflash of ecu isnt that all pretty expensive. not including the mounts that are real expensive. i would do it but i know me and my brother may have a prob not being that knowledgable in the K world....

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 02:00 PM
i am not sure what you are meaning by the bottom of an rsx (subframe?)
kpro is the most expensive thing for the swap if you cant find a used one for 800-1000...then it is around 1300. you dont have to have a reflash...you just wont have an immobilizer. but that is only $90 if they charge you. Jason and i priced out my swap and it was between 4500 and 5500 depending on the deals you get for parts. for just a plain swap you can knock $1000 right off of that since you wouldnt be getting a k20a2 head. My prices are for doing all labor yourself by the way.

lol that exactly i couldnt spit out the word but yeah... i know theres certain k24s you cant bolt up a k20 head on without changing some internals which k24 is it tha3. cuz if it is that cheap than i can get the k24 that the k20 head bolts up to so that later on i can add that

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 02:08 PM
i would get a k24a1 then if i were you. you dont have to swap out the pistons. but you wouldnt make as much power as i do since the compression is a lot lower...but you can run regular gas then. the k24a4 and k24a8 both need to swap internals. those both come from accords. the k24a2(tsx) has basically the same head as a k20a2...however the motor itself generally goes for at least $3k since the bottom end is the best of the k motors.

4dr_ed3
08-29-2008, 02:13 PM
so what does the a1 come out in? so basically to get the best results you get the accord motor and swap the internals from another k24 and slep on the k20 head!!!

sniperscout
08-29-2008, 02:15 PM
no you get an 08 tsx motor and call it a day

k24a1 is crv

what i did with my accord block is i essentially made a poor mans tsx block.

thats 2-3k more than k24a1 so your looking at 4-5k for a tsx longblock from a junk yard if you could even find a totaled 09 tsx. forget about even looking at the dealer for a new motor

Been to most every junkyard in town and I can't say I've seen anything 01-05 year range, its just too new.
Its almost impossible to find anything newer than 1995 in the yards that isn't just a stripped or severely totaled shell. Good luck though, the parts are out there, but if they're worth enough they'll be places like here. Good Luck

what? theres alot of them just look.... i spent one day on broadway and found a shit load of em2's

i am not sure what you are meaning by the bottom of an rsx (subframe?)
kpro is the most expensive thing for the swap if you cant find a used one for 800-1000...then it is around 1300. you dont have to have a reflash...you just wont have an immobilizer. but that is only $90 if they charge you. Jason and i priced out my swap and it was between 4500 and 5500 depending on the deals you get for parts. for just a plain swap you can knock $1000 right off of that since you wouldnt be getting a k20a2 head. My prices are for doing all labor yourself by the way.

yep yepp
