You’re right, I was never into Honda’s but this K series has me swooning over it. The HP/L factor is incredible. Not many cars make that kind of power N/A. N/A performance is exacerbated when boosted, not sure Honda intended all of this but I believe the K series is going to be the best all around 4cyl for years to come.

To be making 250-300 NA high-revving whp with a small engine that maintains the balance of such a good car that is so avoided because of the rotary engine in it, would be an amazing project.

I bought a second hand k20a2 and am putting it into a Toyota MRS. I cannot stress enough about that timeing chain tensioner. Luckily I checked mine and it was broken on a bone stock motor of less than 100k miles. For the sake of a tiny cost save yourself the headache and replace the chain and tentioner with new oem honda ones. Oh and the k20z upper chain guide fits on the older k20a motors and is much bigger. That combined with the aftermarket lower chain guide will make the timeing almost impossible to skip even if the tentioner does break. Lastly if you are pushing big power then buy an aftermarket crank gear with a full keyway cut in it as on the stock one the small timeing pin has been known to break. But yeah thanks for another great video and I look forward to more of your k shenanigans in the future.

I mean, it’s all a matter of preference at the end of the day; what you guys like may not be what I, or other people like. One of the reason why I bought my FA5 was because of the K series sound!

The SR20 is a trash engine that was built with every corner cut by a company going bankrupt to be an engine they can throw in everything.

This definitely seems like the go to motor for transverse setups, or anything where you can't fit an LS. For longitudinal where they fit, the LS still has the K beat handily in terms of power per dollar. That $8k for a 300whp K motor would get you a 500bhp LS3 crate engine straight from GMPP.

Why would you waste 8k on a crate engine. Stalk the junkyards. Its not a sema build. An Aluminum 6.0 CAN be found in the junkyard for 200 USD at my junkyard. You're not entirely likely to find them, but you can find the iron 6.0s and aluminum 5.3s all day for the most part. Cheap shit.
@jalisurr4 жыл бұрын
@@benbauer1257 Yeah definitely. Same as you can find reasonably cheap K motors as they were saying. LS handily wins power per dollar no matter what comparison you make. I was just comparing new engine to new engine because that's what they gave numbers for.

K swapped Lotus Esprit from the 1980’s. The original engine was less than durable but plenty powerful for the day.

Hear me out.... ek hatch, mid mounted k with B series awd gearbox(backwards), driving a flipped r200 in the front. I've wanted to do this forever but don't have the resources . Also not sure how the B would like being driven backwards, but I'd imagine it should work 🙂

I don't really understand power vs displacement. Unless you are getting taxed heavily by your government for the size of your engine. Which I wouldn't think would be an issue with a swapped car. To me the only number that matters is power vs weight of the engine and where the engine carries most of that weight. This is what makes the LS nearly unbeatable.

I'm guessing the k swap is better than a f22c because of cost and parts availability?

@imSchwaggy4 жыл бұрын
the k engine is great, but actually doing the swap is quite expensive for most chassis. spending usually about $10k for everything to get like 250hp vs fully building what's already in your car, or building for boost is where i dont really understand why people like the K. but if money isnt a factor then all power, they're dope engines with lots of potential.

Guys, check out BoostedBois out of Colorado. They are the K-junkies, and not like the ones we remember stumbling and mumbling back in college. These guys do some crazy stuff, 1000hp MR2 K swapped drag car, K swapped STI (Hondaru) with 700+hp and sequential shifter. I'm sure you've seen their stuff.

K20/K24 powered 308 is a fantastic idea. And with the right exhaust setup might even sound a bit like a the original V8, since they don't have the high-pitched F1 style wail of the later 348/355 cars. Through some big driving lights on the front and say it's a Group 4 Rally car! You guys will have to rock big mustache's and Hawaiian shirts every time you drive it though.
