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
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:

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! |

@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.
