1995 K24 powered Mugen Prelude
 

OK so my problem is i started work on turning my prelude into a mugen prelude and the question was on what power plant would be the coolest to use and i came across hasports conversion kit to put a k series in my car an i think i want to go with a k24 mated to a 6 speed transmission i wanted your feedback to see what the honda crowd would think of it.

let me know guys

this is also gonna be my thread for pics and updates to my car

can't wait to hear from all of you

k24/k20

pictures?

well i havent decided on what k24 motor i want to go with i kind of wanted to use the factory turbocharged one from acura i'm gonna post some pics of the lude and the mugen bumper and the audio components when i get home from work in a bit. what engine do you think i should use?

id say go k20, parts would be fairly cheaper, plus more aftermarket support.

i was considering that. my only thing is i want torque thats what i'm after but you bring out a point with that k20 idea.

Waste of Money IMO. K20 pushes the same amount of HP and has less torque. Motors weigh about the same. I suggest Keeping the H22 and building it or do a k20 head/ k24 bottom end.

i like the k20 head idea on a k24 it might work really good. the turboed k24 from the rdx impresses me though because its rated at 260 foot pounds of torgue which is alot of power but the k 20 head on a k24 interests me

Either one would be B/A!

ya i think i wanna go with the rdx's turboed k24 mated to the 6 speed from the tsx what do you think about that match up

It's impossible. That motor isn't swapable into anything yet.

from what i gatherd its just another k series motor so the swap should work if not than i'm going to use the power plant from a tsx

How is it impossible if he found the conversion kit?
nothing is impossible!...all you need is time, money, and effort...
anyways gl man!

You have a mugen front bumper....

I am green with envy. Pm me how much you got it for. I want one, but the only thing i would rock on my DD is a mugen replica..

Which no one has made yet.

you guys want torque?? go get a J Series motor and do custom work with it, like me.

i've got a 3.5 swap into my 03 accord AV6, i'm pushing about 270- 280whp and almost 300 torque with my swap.... and yes i have lsd installed as well. and im N/A for now.. should have been turbo'd and everything already but some dumb ass tuner blew my fucking motor while tuning... so im just stuck with my swap for now.

a v6 would be great but theres no mounts to do that kind of a swap yet or i would do it. so with the rdx's 2.3 liter turboed motor i get 240 horse and 260 in torque which i am more than happy with so it looks like thats the route. i don't know much about the k series i honestly wish i knew more cause i would prefer a high revving 300hp k24 but i don't know how to do that... :(

my bumper pics its not installed yet i'm waiting for the side shirts and rear lip to arrive i ordered those through kaminari

umm you can try and do that, but i really don't think its possible yet...

i say you just do a k20 or k24 swap and just do the tsx tranny 6spd swap if thats possible.. Do all the bolt ons thats out there for it and im pretty sure you'll be satisfied..

there they are its beautiful lol i can't wait for the rest of it to come along

thanks for the support man:you rock:

I've seen this motor swapped into ep3's a few times already. I believe it bolts right up to the ep3 but don't quote me on that just what I saw on ephatch before being banned.this swap In the lude would be sick as hell hasport would be the ones to make the mounts fo sho I would suggest hitting them up. Gl luck keep us posted homie.

beat me to it! nothing is impossible when you put you mind to it.

g/l on the build.

hasport has the mounts already, they are building a k 4th gen as a race ca, gl have fun doing the sawp and then owning the street

thanks for all the support guys this is gonna be a fun build... i was wondering however what king of power a k24 with a k20 head would put out???

The J series motor wont fit in a prelude.

As far as the RDX motor... I looked into it and the issue with it is that the motor is too tall so it wont fit in any other Honda. My suggestion is to stick with a K20/K24 frankenstein.

Something else I've seen is a K20 head on a H22 block... :type:
Don't ask me how but they did it and it was torquey as hell!

ya i looked alot more into it the k23 it too tall unfortunetly but i decided to build a k20 i checked out a company called toda and they have a stroker kit for that motor so that answers the torque issue. my only question is... will a k20a2 mount up to the 6speed from the tsx???

why dont you just use a RSX-S 6 speed tranny? Its basically the same except for the final drive.

the hasport mounts are for use with the tsx or accord 6 speed i guess they're different thats why i need to know if i can use that tranny with the k20a2 motor

i hope you have deep pockets! will be sick if you have the resources to do it and get it done.
