Sweeet!
If you don't mind me asking, what is your motor setup? Just a stock K24a2?

Well we tried to use the most Honda parts we could on the buil. I got bigger Rod's, dual valve spring using Rsx-Type S spring and putting them in S2000 springs, Tsx intake cam with a Rsx Type R exhaust cam, with a set of OBX Racing headers going into a 2 3/4 pipe with a Maganaflow resignator and a Apexi muffler. Also have stage 2 clutch form Exedy .This is all helled in by Hassport motor mounts and the brains is Hondata K-Pro.

Looks pretty good.

Just out of curiosity, what do you have the redline set at? I was reading something the other day, and they were saying revving an over-square motor like a K24 to 8K rpm without any bottom-end reinforcements is just asking for it to turn into a giant hand grenade.

I wouldn't dare go past 7400 on stock internals.

Well my rpm limiter is set at 7.8rpm , but on the dyno sheet i could technically go further. Well we put some after market rod in the motor just to cover the hight rpm.

But bad news is blew the motor yesterday , the pin that holds the rod and piston together broke and BOOM . So i need to replace the oil pan , oil pump, water pump,the motor block, rods , pistons , jack shaft , radiator and the radiator fan. I got 2 holes in the front of the motor the size of a CD and the same size hole in the back of the motor to . So i am going to rebuild the motor this winter and put a set of stage 2 cams and pulleys in it just for a little more torque .
