but the 2 lobe cam is only 160 hp

....& i just realized i have the 2 lobe =(

So yeah going JDM you have alot better chance at get a low mileage good motor
but you are not garenteed to get the one you want.

That's disheartening

I thought your price shipped to your door for the engine was a little low for a RBB K24A, so that makes more sense now that you found out it was just the base motor. Your motor is more like the JDM version of the USDM K24A4, which is low compression and 2 lobe, as you have discovered. If you want to compete in that Gridlife class then your hands are tied, and you will have to sell this motor for the correct motor, right?

I can still run it i would just be down on power compared to everyone else. yeah i guess i have to find another motor.

You should be able to sell it to someone wanting a low compression motor for a turbo build who only has pump gas and not E85. Vtech isn’t needed if someone just wants to run big cams on the track, so you might find someone at Gridlife who wants a motor or spare motor.

I feel for you. The guy tried to sell me on a low compression K24A, before I insisted I only wanted the RBB.

Im sure i can resell it's in super good condition. Just probably wont get enough to get my money back ha. but i already ordered it's replacement.

So since im still waiting x2 now. Time to prep the body.

Hammered flat the motor mounts

Ripped off the Strut bar mount ont he firewall.

Took the sledgehammer the the firewall for trans clearance.

Flattened the fuel line cover.

And then the real fun part! cut & hammer the Transmission mount.

Is it FedEX? If so then this explains a lot. I think the shipping companies are running their B and C teams.

hedtrip · 12-02-2021, 01:22 PM

No its R&L Carriers. I usually don't have any problems with FedEx besides coming late

That is strange. R&L is a really good freight company.

This is the sec time ive used them. both times super late. Super rude & didnt really care.
I told them to call me today when they were on their way cause i had to work.
They gave me a 2 min warning lol

hedtrip · 12-03-2021, 07:53 PM

So my Sec k24 showed up today & it is a RBB 3 lobe this time

But then it exploded. i dont need any of this junk

But now i get to take everything from the old engine & swap it over.

hedtrip · 12-08-2021, 11:38 AM

So I got the 2 lobe motor stripped back down, rmvd all t the shiny new parts & oil pump off it. Got it mostly rebuilt. Then got the new 3 lobe motor completely stripped down & ready to build it back up.
...I'm getting pretty good at working on these engines already lol
