Don't you hate it when you're texting and girl and her reply is " k "
 

We're at it again! We acquired a wrecked car with a good front end and electronics system so that we can do a K swap from start to finish!

We are working on the following:

K Swap Plug and Play Wiring Kits
K Swap Mounts
K Swap Oil Pans
K Swap Transmission Options
K Swap Headers
K Swap Hose Kits
K Swap Intake

I will try to keep a detailed list of what we have spent parts wise on this swap as we go!

Parts Purchased Used:

K24 With 120k Miles $900
S2000 6 speed with 90k miles $600

Parts Purchased New:
K to S2K adapter kit $900
Skunk 2 Intake Manifold $770
6 Puck ACT Clutch $500

I'll keep it updated as we go!

Why the S2K Trans? How does NO CUTTING, NO HAMMERING, NO WELDING sound????

Oh fuck yesss was losing hope for a sec LOL. Are we wble to find out what ecu we be using? Also will you be making a turbo manifold for the guys that want to boost?

$4k into it so far n looking good.

Yes!!! :party0030:
Looking forward to do this swap

I had a RSX type-s back 2 years ago before buying the FRS, alway liked the K20Z1 way more then the Fa20... This kind of swap is an option I will consider most likely!
Keep up the good job guys!

When are the mount availible for purchase?

OMG FINALLY!!! I love this. every. single. bit.

I prefer it when they text back "JK LS". JK. Cool project!

So, HASport says a K24 with axles, manifolds, accessories and transmission weighs 413lbs. Subtract the transmission, axles and p/s pump weight from the listed K motor weight and you're looking at an easy 100 pound reduction up front of the 86 compared to the FA20. Maybe more depending on manifolds used, etc. That's almost more appealing than the power bump.

What is this insanity? A Hondubaru? Subhonda?

Interested to see how this works out! Always liked the K24!

Is there still room for heater core hoses to connect?

Does front of motor sit any further back than stock motor?

No height clearance issues? Assume this is fixed by oil pan you referenced?

Also will you be doing a full dressed weight so as we can comapre to fa20 motor trans weight? Would imagine there is a a 60-80lb weight difference (which would be awesome)

more room for heater core hoses then the LS or 2J swap actually. Need throw a hood on this car (shell didn't come with one) to get some pics, But it clears with a straight edge and the tallest point is further back than the tallest point of the 2J swap so it should be no problem. The modified oil pan is to set the motor back to clear the subframe and steering rack more than height. It is as low as it can get without cutting the subframe

We are almost done getting the design 100%, after that, we take them to our water jet guy and wait for them to cut a complete run of them, then we weld them up and powder coat them, so probably 3-4 weeks hopefully. I hate waiting on other people lol
