anyone on here yet do a K Swap into an Accord...i seen some pics or some in Japan but none here yet...i did a search but nothing...pictures and information would be nice to look at cause i might be interested in this swap....its time to be different

 

it can be done. someone posted pix of a turbo k24 in a 5th gen car.

 

hasport, i believe, did a k24a2 in a 5th gen

 

Here you go:





http://www.k20a.org is your best bet on this subject.

I've thought about doing it. Cost is just way too high. I think I calculated something like 10k$ CDN.

 

I don't want to jack the thread, I just want to ask some questions to help shed more light on the subject. What are the differences in the K24a2 head and the K20a2 head? I hear they are pretty much the same an interchangeable with the K20A head parts. I too am interested with a swap in my 5th gen but want to do a hybrid K swap. Anyone with some good sensible ideas?

This is just a noob speaking hear so forgive me now for my K series stupidity.

I have read many of threads on this subject but did not find exactly what I am looking for yet.

 

SWEEEEEEEEET

 

Dont even think the cruise control is hooked up.

 

^^ isn't the K24 throttle-by-wire??

 

I'd love to swap a K series into my 92.But I could by like three 92 accords in decent shape for the price of the engine.
I think I may look into finding one though that would be cooler then the turbo Ive been researching for the last month..Tons of turbo 4gens around but I haven't heard of a k series 4gen though.

yup

that swap isnt worth the money yet. you are looking at 20,000 for that car just for the shell and drivetrain

 

I don't know about it now.I'd have to find a great deal could afford the engine or the trans but not both.

Most noticable difference is that the k24a2 uses drive-by-wire, as already mentioned. The other big difference involves VTC. VTC for the k24a2 has a max of I believe 25 degrees, while the k20a2 has 45 degrees. Many people have been taking the VTC mechanism from the k24a2 and having it machined to allow up to 45. (This has proven to be one of the most power-yielding mods for the TSX engine.)

There are other "smaller" differences, but the heads will provide roughly the same performance. Visit http://www.k20a.org for more information.

That was probably the 1st Accord to have a K-series swap... And you're giving a thumbs down b/c they hadn't finished hooking up the cruise control???

 

I heard about this a few days ago, wasnt sure tho if it had been done at all. But that engine looks really crammed in there; i'd still like to know more about the process tho.
