Hey guys I read in the new superstreet that the new 02 CRV will be equipped with a 2.4L DOHC iVTEC motor. It also mentioned that it may be swappable.....I was wondering hummmm....maybe a swap into my GSR??? hahaha

what do you guys think?

 

proll not since Honda is getting away from the B series.

 

Which way will the new motor rotate? If it turns the same way as the b-series, it might be possible with some work. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Honda changed the CRV motor to rotate the same way as the new Civic, RSX, etc.

If the motor is a new gen motor, you will not be able to use any parts from a b series motor.

It might be compatable with the RS-X motor.

And l tell alot of people, I think the new RSX motor, the 160 Hp model, and the 200 HP model, will be the motor of choice for enthusiasts in about 5 years. Right now, its too expensive and there are not enough parts for it. Such as mounts, etc.

The motor is the best motor Honda has ever made technologically speaking.

Look at the bore and stroke. 86x86? very good. I have to get one of those motors and do a full analysis of it.

My opinions. The future looks cool.

If it has 86MM bore to start out....that means it can probably go 89 MM with a sleeve. And 89 MM is bigger than Prelude and its stroke ratio is better.

So that means excellent Peak HP motor and high RPM's. = good drag racing combo. I can't wait. And if you can put that 2.4 ltr block with that RSX head..o crap...thats just great.

wow, you are just so full of imagination for the new motors. The future for the Honda motors looks exciting. Only if we can find a way to stuff that motor into a 3rd gen Teg....

 

Yeah the K20 is going to be sick. Maybe our B18Cs will stop getting stolen...

 

True, but in all honesty, I think that our B18C's will get stolen till the last one is stolen.

Just wait till aftermarket companies come out with more and more parts for the new iVTEC motors, then they'll start getting stolen. It'll be cool to make my own k20-k24 VTEC hybrid motor

 

I predict that lots of people will be doing conversions of the Civic Si's 160-hp, semi-iVTEC K20, bringing it up to the level of the full-iVTEC RSX-S (200hp). Those will be bitches at the lights and at the strips.

 

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I think the CRV is going to become the new ITR as far as getting stolen is concerned. The K24(?) has an 87mm bore and a 90mm stroke compared to the 86x86. I forget exactly, but I think it has 3 or 4 mm more bore spacing than the B series blocks. So it should be possible to resleeve it up to 90mm relatively safely. So how about a square 90x90 bore and stroke? Cool stuff. Plus if it's true that the K20 and F20C/H22A share parts (possibly bore spacing?) than maybe it's possible to use an H23A crank which has a 95mm stroke.

Can you say displacement? What would that be, like 2.6 - 2.8L??? Sure it'll vibrate badly, but who cares when you have that much displacement? You can use the JDM ITR head, throw it in a 2002 Civic Si and you're set.

These engines have way too much potential. I think they'll eat our engines in a couple years.

 

ROss1013.

Not K20 man.

K24.

haha.

And when you bore it out to 89 MM, I think you have a little over 2.5 liters.

I can see it now..totally...

2.5 Liters
89MM bore X 86 MM stroke
Roller Rockers (11,000 RPM max) (aftermarket stuff, of course)
HyTech Header
Iceman Intake
Portflow head, Ferrea Valves.
and some big *** dome pistons.

I am going to guess right now.

300 HP all motor, at the wheels @9000 RPM.

Please, go back in the archives and remember this post when i do it in like 2-3 years. LOL.

If I had the budget, or somebody who wanted to go all out with an RSX motor, I would do it right now.

We shouldn't even be talking about this. Its like 2-5 years down the line.

st00ks might also get stolen for their motors

 

Import Review, I don't understand this thing about rotating in different directions. Can you add some light to my question?

I know that the B-Series flywheel spins opposite of the K-series. What I don't understand is what makes it impossible to have the K-series motor swapped into our current cars. Other than physical requirements, I think anything is possible.

If you swap the entire K-series motor, including long block and tranny, into the chassis of let's say an EG series, what is going to keep it from running? The engine is still going to face the same way it faces in an RSX.

Does anyone know what I'm trying to ask?

 

Given enough time and $$, it prob. would be possible. But, it's not something a monkey could do, like swapping a B18 into an EG.

Jeff - what's with the Riceman intake? JK, but Comptech and AEM will probably come out with sicker pieces for the K20.

If anyone comes out with a SC for that engine, watch out.

 

WHen you attempt projects like this, you have to look at it from thispoint of view...

like this..

RS-X is FRONT wheel drive.
RS-X is a 4 banger.

Then think...

Whats the dimensions of a RS-X engine bay?
Whats the dimensions of a EG engine bay?

Will it fit?

Axles are never a problem. There are so many companies that can fabricate so many different setups for axles, thats like the last thing to think about.

It does nto matter that the flywheel does not turn the right way. Who cares. Its a FWD car, and the motor is in the front...so the axles turn the RIGHT way right? LOL.

Anyway, i will do that swap sooner, or later.

Jeff

 

Thanks guys for the replies, I see that many of those who replied have great vision for the new motors potential, and surely they will eat the B series engine in a couple of years. I have a feeling that the new K series motors are lighter? correct me if I'm wrong.

Swapping into a DC2 chassis may be challenging cuz the header exits towards the rear of the engine bay. I predict that a custom header will have to be made for it to work right.

 

A supercharger is in the works for the RSX-S. A buddy of mine who works for Acura is waiting for delivery of a blue RSX-S.

 

Ain't I brilliant, I started a cool thread

 

I think that if we do swap a RSX-R head onto that 2.4L CRV VTEC block we can make a monster......sure thing, bore it out, slap in some high compression pistons, lightweight rods, blueprint and balance and slap in a forged cromaly crank, sleeve it etc, and you can have a high-revving monster.

Toda Racing....get to work making them cams!

I read that the new 2.4L DOHC iVTEC motor will make 160HP at the crank. By the sound of that I'm guessing its gonna be a low compression motor.....I'm sure it'll have some good torque though.

 

hey man? Are you biting my crap?

"sure thing, bore it out, slap in some high compression pistons, lightweight rods, blueprint and balance and slap in a forged cromaly crank, sleeve it etc, and you can have a high-revving monster"

haha you btter believe it man. Thats what i am going to do.

And yes, it has been a good thread.

Jeff

 

he he he, Thanks!
