K series Building Questions
So im pretty much done building my current R, might go 2.0 liters in the fall but we'll see. I get my real job in September, live at home, and will have money to build a race car...I wanna buy an ITR shell and make a full blown race car for fun.
Ok so I did a bit of searching but know very little about K series, swapping the different blocks with heads, etc...but heres what I gathered.
I am a power freak, hense why I have my current ITR built the way I do, I only want the best, most reliable parts, that also make power. I see that the best combination for making power and torque is the K24a2 block combo'd with the K20a2 head.
Question is this...can the 2.4 K24's be bored out even more? Kinda like you would bore a Bseries, and still be reliable? And even if so, would the head even be able to tolerate the required amount of air flow? Like I am hoping for over 300 whp when the build is done so I know it will be expensive, but I will be doing almost all the work besides porting, etc.
I guess besides the obvious head build up like a Bseries motor, would I be looking at anything different in terms of head work for this setup? I was gettign confused at to what people were saying when I searched...I couldn't finda direct answer

Many different ways you could go about this build. if you are looking for 300, then you only need. the 2.4 lt displacement. if you have the scrilla, then just go with an IPS motor, proven some of the best set ups. its all about how much money you want to spend. if you are looking to build a race car, get your chasis in shape and buy a stock type S motor and throw it in there and go from there, but most important to me is getting the chassis dialed in, so thats what i would do first.

hmm true. well I am pretty sure my R now isn't within class rules lol so there goes that theory. Ok so maybe I just wanna have one killer allmotor 4 cylinder engine...i like challenges.
