with acuras new RDX sport utility coming out, i wonder if anyone is going to swap the K24 turbo'd motor in a fit........that would be the ultimate fit

 

It will be possible...but probably cheaper to just put a k24 and turbo it.

 

cant wait to see the progress with you guys on that!!!!

The RDX will be using a K23, not a K24.
K23A1
i-VTEC Turbo
Found in:
2007 Acura RDX
Displacement :2.3L
Compresson :?
Power : 238 hp @ 6000 rpm (SAE net) & 260 lb·ft @ 4500 rpm (SAE net)

 

There was a SCC article that said that the swap would be impossible...but someone will make it happen eventually. What tranny could you mate up with it though?

 

probably any k series tranny, since all this **** is still so new yuo have to wait for people to actualy do things before we know what work, has the rdx even hti the streets yet? and 238 hp and 260 tq thats not all that impressive to go spend a milliong dollars trying to source a rdx swap

There were also a million articles/posts/threads about the Kseries being impossible to go into an EG/EK. The aftermarket figured it out.

The question will be, ho many people are willing to spend 7 grand on an angine swap--not many, outside of shops.

I'll do it but first I need a fit. I'm serious too. I'm alreayd tyring to sell my current built engine to get the money together to pick up a K-series motor.

 

Sure it would be. Goodluck in finding that engine tho.

Its like a pot head saying "man, only if i could fill my car with ice cream instead of gas"

I just had to correct my spelling--I just re-read and got horrified.

Google "SUV rollover" and get back to us about how few of those engines will be available. There will be plenty of them once all the spoiled-brat 16-year-olds of the world start sneaking out in their parents' mAd tUrB00ZZZ VtAk y0!!!one1! SUV.

 

I'd love to see you get anywhere with a Fit with an RDX turbo swap. You'd have to start in frigging third gear to not spin the damn tires uselessly. And the weight is F/R 63/37 already I believe, dropping a big *** motor with IC in the front won't help handling any...

 

The tranny is too big.

The RDX is mounted to a V6 SHAWD tranny right?
wouldnt you be able to take the RDX longblock and run a DC5R tranny?

Compression is 8.8:1
My Dist. Parts & Service Manager told me that they had over 300 hp on the RDX but the trans would not hold up.
They run 13.3 psi of boost.

No. That is a trans made for the RDX. THe new MDX will also have the SH-AWD on it as well. I believe that the new MDX and RL will share the same trans.

Actually, the short block and head are pretty cheep from the dealership from what I looked up at work. I think like $1500 for the block assembly and like $1100 for the head complete.
Just alittle info.

Yea, the engine is cheap, but with engine included, a K series swap into an EG runs about 10-12k if a shop does it and tunes it.

How much does a K24a2 from a TSX cost from the dealer? If it's comparable to the used prices they're fetching, i'll consider that for my swap

 

ive seen so many threads like this one. "k23 turbo rdx swap... der der der"

this happens to be the only one asking if the swap can be installed in a fit.


so the point of this 'technical' post was to say...... "this engine into this car would be cool, huh?"


yeah.



what if superman fought mighty mouse? no way mighty mouse would win, he's a cartoon..... superman is a real guy.
