KPower Industries K24 swap

[Irace86.2.0]

Looks like Kpower is reinvesting:

Kpower just released that the kits will be shipping Monday! They've been getting the installation instructions put together this week as well.

I just need to bite the bullet and order the electronics package and engine to trans adaptor this winter.

My guess is it’ll be a few weeks past next week like they say. They say a few small items, but I bet the heavy labor products like the headers will take the longest. Maybe mine will ship soon since I didn’t order the headers, but there will likely be many boxes because the driveshaft is big and so are the headers and intake manifold and just everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes in batches over several weeks.

Few go beyond a header and E85. Sometimes someone will do the Crawford powerblocks and a CAI. Occasionally I see a larger throttle body or someone trying to remove reciprocating mass with lightweight flywheel, driveshaft, pulleys, etc. People aren't trying to bypass the throttle body coolant. People aren't trying to squeeze everything out of this platform. Most just move on to forced induction. I don't know why that is less the case for Hondas and K-motors.

There are people trying and in fact achieving very interesting results, but as soon as they start posting information they get negativity and hate. There is the perception that Subaru has an expertise only in turbocharged engines and that the FA20 engine is not worth pushing it too much on a NA build. They probably forget that it is not really a Subaru engine, but more a Subaru/Toyota/Yamaha engine. The FA24 engine is another story ...

Anyway, I don't want to go too much off topic. It is good that a Honda engine will be available as a swap option and I'll look forward on details when the first Kpower kits are shipped.

Got any link where I could see what's being achieved?

Are you planning on building your own header and intake?

No, nohavemsg. He mentioned buying the adapter and electronics package instead of the whole package. I’m wondering why.

I did the same, and I know others also didn't buy the whole package, so I doubt he will respond unless he sees this. Best to quote someone if you aren't tagging them, calling them out or being obvious. Just saying.

My reason is because I have a turbo setup, so I don't need the intake or exhaust manifold. I don't know about him.

Header and intake, probably not. Motor mounts, trans mounts, shifter adaptor, driveshaft will probably do myself. Will probably buy the oil pan too. I am just going to have to piece the kit together over time and I don’t need some of it. It is too big a chunk of change for me to do at once. I will probably start sourcing an engine this winter as well.

I got my kit! It's in!





JK, but Kpower got their engine in, so the write-up should be coming soon. It'll get dropped on the link below with the rest of the write-ups, but it'll get dropped here on the thread too. Still waiting on my tracking number. They said some have shipped and someone said they got a tracking number on IG, but I haven't gotten anything yet. They said more will ship Monday.

I haven’t gotten a tracking number yet either and I was one the first 10 orders.
