K24, let's do this. TheVTEC86

So after owning my first FRS, I've always been craving another, so back in March, I bought a fully built turbo FRS. Made great numbers, built engine, is300 dif, etc.



I run the mountains almost every day and proceeded to beat the hell out my car for about 2 months until it blew up











One night I was driving home from a meet-up with my buddies, merging into the highway at about 50% throttle and i heard a massive knock, white smoke, and the car shut down. I limped it home and then to the shop where I sold the engine and trans



Now this is where I had to decide to follow this dream I've had since I bought my first FRS 3 years ago, or to abandon this car and put a stock engine in and sell it.



So I decided to put a K24 in this thing and make it what I've always wanted and I've since ripped everything out, going in completely blind.

I've been in talks with Pure Automotive, Hondata, Ksereiesparts, Element Tuning, and a few other companies to help sort everything out as much as we know.

So far I have
  • S2000 AP1 transmission
  • K24A2 from an '06 TSX
  • RSX Type S PRB
  • Kseriesparts Tucked Wiring Harness
  • Kpro4 ECU
  • Custom driveshaft (IS300 dif to S2000 trans)

The next things on the list and figuring out the gas pedal (may have to switch to drive by cable) and slowly piecing the engine back together. I want to get this just running and driving and build a "super K" while it's running (9200 RPM, 270whp, cams, big TB, everything).

Note:
  • I don't have to deal with emmissions
  • This car WILL be street legal
  • I'm not keeping any CANBUS accessories

Parts everywhere and car is not even functional yet but you already win! This is exactly what the 86 platform needs - a reliable, high-revving, N/A engine.



Awesome thread - will check back often



Vtec is about to kick in, y0!

Thanks, I'm extremely excited for all the parts coming in and building this from the ground-up (also thank you to Pure Auto for making this much easier)

Just realized your FA20 was a built engine! When I read stuff like this I'm so incredibly disappointed, I sometimes find it hard to justify my liking for the platform.

Care to share details of the built engine and the builder as well? Thank you

I'd ask who the tuner was.

Moto-East were the ones who built and tuned the car, BUT I'm not blaming them why it blew.

Great start! So just to be sure, ABS is not functional with this swap and no pending solution as of now?

@geraldjust sold me a module to keep the electric power steering working without a canbus system.. It was a very reasonable price. You may want to contact him to resolve your power steering solution.

Pure Automotive has a way to do it via their custom harness and Motec
