As most of you know, I am doing a KPower Industries K24 swap using a K24A (JDM TSX) RBB engine with a custom turbo kit on the Haltech Elite 1500 that comes with the swap package. I'll post a picture of the engine bay and dyno when everything is finished. My Stage 1 goal is 350-400whp. I will either do a gen2 transmission swap for a refresh and stay modest with a mild bump, or I will do a CD009 or BMW transmission swap and move to Stage 2 power of 450whp+, but the long term plan is Stage 3, which is going full stupid with a built motor (piston, rods, ARP headstuds, port and polish, cams, springs, etc) after the CD009 or BMW transmission swap and a larger turbo for 700whp+.

Worth mentioning: I still have a second goal of doing an ultimate NA build on a Miata or Lotus or something super light that is a sports coupe. A RF Miata with a carbon fiber fixed top and with the convertible motors removed is the most likely candidate. The ultimate engine choice would be some small displacement V8 like a Synergy V8, but realistically, I high revving K24 from 4Piston is the most likely choice. I'm sure KPower will eventually do a kit for the ND. Someday...
