How Much Did It Cost to K24 Swap My S2000?

[@wolfparty4234]

Yeah maaan!!/lady! Lol. Very cool. There tons of people that tell ya how to do a K-swap but no one says exactly how much money it’s going to cost! So, thank you!!

[@JulietteHallie]

I got you!!!

[@ItbS2k04]

Can confirm it cost me well over 4k to fully build my f series to an f24. I was gonna k swap but couldn’t part ways with the f. My Pockets are wishing I did.

[@JulietteHallie]

@@ItbS2k04 even a used F20c is over 5k. It’s insane. K24 swap is literally the cheapest and more reliable way in my opinion

Love this. Thank you for your honest breakdown

[@jasondebraux6695]

I love k-swapped cars. It's so RAW!!!! I feel like I could sell my current F22-C engine for $6.5k & use that put down on my k-swap. The only thing is I'll have to pay for the labor & costs to keep the a/c. I just may do that down the road if I don't decide to s/c it instead.

[@guest6423]

I've about given up on the idea of doing the swap into a RWD Nissan, and that's with a good, free K24A2. There are just so many parts required, and very 'deals' when it comes to swap parts.

[@JulietteHallie]

Any swap isnt cheap I think traditionally they say 10-15K is about average for a swap, not the car or any other mods just the swap, its crazy.

[@Empire350z]

That’s a steal! I don’t mind doing kseries on my AP1. Makes me wanna sell my motor n buy Kswap.

You can definitely do it for pretty much nothing out of pocket if you sell the F series in running condition

Can I place that Swap on a 1999 Mercedes Benz E320?

[@leoncobarris92]

I have a 2001 Honda S2000 with a F22C swap and I do get why people swap K24s in a S2000 because of the torque but what I don’t get is what’s the point of doing a K swap and You’re spending just as much to buy an F20/22C motor While Fseries motor can make just as much if not more power than a K20 If you turbo and tune them right and I don’t want to hear about saving money or parts are easy to find because Honda’s in general are easy to find parts and build

[@JulietteHallie]

The initial cost to swap is about the same as the F series engine. Cost of parts for the K is much cheaper. Whether you want to admit it or not F series parts not only are going up in value but also are becoming harder to find. The F series engine is also pretty much maxed out NA as is compared to the K. Also seeing as I use my S2K on track, engines are going to be a consumable I need to add into my budget much more often than a street driven S2K. So now that I paid the 6k to do the swap, it’ll be $800 to replace the motor with another low mileage JDM engine. For me this swap was 100% the right choice. It’s not a common swap on S2000s in the track community on the west coast but the Midwest and east coast are full of Kswapped S2Ks. This video isn’t to convince anyone to K swap. Just how much it cost me to do it. I think everyone should just do what’s best for their use of the car. For me K is the way

[@leoncobarris92]

That makes sense especially if you’re using it on the race course I have heard a lot of people doing k swaps for that reason I just don’t see many K swaps on S2k’s in Florida Unless it’s a Honda hatch or MR2 kswaps

Juliette did that kswap bolt right up to the oem f20c tranny? Or did you use a different tranny? Your video is helping us a lot. I’m currently having trouble rebuilding my f20c but I’m not having any luck. Where I’m located there’s not to many Honda mechanics that specialize in these builds and inflations have delayed parts significantly. I’m debating if I should take this route instead considering it’s a cheaper route. I’ve been stuck for a while now 😔

Are you having any oiling issues when at the track since most of the oil pans and oil pickup/pump are designed for transverse mounting of this motor, or did you get a aftermarket baffled oil pan?

If u get a K24A2 u basicaly need the oil pump from a K20A2, a baffle sump, and for power get the K20A2 50 deg vtc pulley. Thats all for the engine. The rest is boltons around the engine

A used f20c goes for that… that 6k swaps you an engine that if it lets go will only be $800 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Wilko101]

What engine is a K24 from??! Isn’t that from a CRV?! Why would you swap out one of the most exciting engines in the last 20 years that revs to 9000 rpm? Sorry what I missing?!

[@181stLeader]

It’s a JDM K24a, it’s out out of the performance accord. It’s the USDM equivalent of the k24a2 from the Acura TSX. Meaning 3 lobe vtec on intake and exhaust cams, making 200hp in stock form. This motor makes similar HP numbers once tuned as the F20c, but at least +30-40 more tq. It also only costs $800 if it ever blows up. You’d be hard pressed to find a good condition F20c for under 5-6k. Plus the aftermarket support for the K series is pretty much unmatched.

[@JulietteHallie]

Yep. K24 3 lobe comes from an accord or tsx. F20 is prone to fail, Costs too much, not a lot of torque. Im not in a financial position to constantly replace a 6-8 thousand dollar engine when it lets go, which will come quicker as a track car. K series can rev out pretty high, Elusive Motorsports in Australia revs their K24 S2000 to 9k RPM. My 100% stock k24 revs to 7500 RPM..

[@JulietteHallie]

@@181stLeader you nailed it. People who think f20c and OEM s2000 parts are the BEST and ONLY way have never owned a S2000, done the work on them or paid for it all. If you like everything OEM fine, but as a track car I pay for 100% on my own, it simply doesn’t make sense to keep such weak parts in the car. I wish I CD09 swapped my transmission at the same time honestly, let alone the diff 😅

I dont understand why people K swap when the F series has a huge potential for power.. fastest s2k runs 6.7 1/4 mile with the stock F series engine.. No k series runs that as of now.

Loads of reasons. Torque, cheaper, reliability, easier and quicker access to parts, etc. all personal preference this is best for me and how I use the car. It’s very popular in time attack S2000s. ASM in Wisconsin is known for their K swapped S2000s, Elusive Autosports in Australia also has a monster Kswapped S2000!. Not everyone is going for straight line speed 🤷🏼‍♀️
