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, Kseriesparts, 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:

Are you going to try and keep the rsx intake manifold? I’ve been wondering if this will fit. I’d like to swap my 86 this winter with a simple and cheap k24 setup.

It’s not a weekend project if you go the cheap route, but if you’ve done other custom swaps in the past it looks to be a fairly straight forward swap. I’ll find out later this year when I have more time. |

The only difficult part about this swap so far is the gas pedal and power steering.
