I replaced the seals and she was still smoking so I took the motor out and tore it apart and there was some coolant sitting in one cylinder plus the compression test was way off.

just thought that i would share what i found out about my K24A2 motor. i took out the pistons and this is what i found. also i will be taking my turbo K24A4 motor to the dyno soon. so with my fuel return system and more boost im hoping to get the same or more HP then my A2 motor.

Nice build! I have a 2006 k24a2 in my ep3. Im in the works of turbochargering it as we speak.
Im making my heater core hoses on the motor my turbo coolant lines. Im also running a garrett gt3582r. I cant wait to get it dyno tuned. Your build is looking good though. My engine is stock right now I hope it last a year so i can build one on the side.

She's up for sale only if the price is right. Asking price is $16000 and that's a damn good price since I see stock ones sell for $15000.
