Hmm, surprising to say the least, but good info ... Thanks BM! I would have thought the Fit to be a wild ride (steering-wise) with all that torque on tap.

What are most people using for transmissions? RSX Type-S 6-speeds?

 

What do you all have done to the K24A2?

 

nothing really, those numbers are just to show what it will do bone stock, no mods, i wanted to have a before and after dyno numbers so i can show what each mod gave me hp. iam useing the stock tsx header, which is very restrictive, there tons of room for improvement, iam just not in a rush to make big power, driveablity was my concern for now, just from tuning it on the dyno i could get another 15-20hp, but why would i waist all the time fine tuning it when iam going to make changes, so i would have to repeat the process all over again, most people dont understand, you dont drop a k in, start it up, and have 200hp right away, with kpro you start off with a base map, which is so you can safely start and run the car, to get 200+hp you have to tune the car, tuning is very important in k series car.

 

the tsx or accord tranny dont Fit...
very well said sir...one question did you modified the tsx stock header to fit ?

 

did a pull on the way home just 2nd and 3rd, didnt wana push it yet till its tuned
YouTube - First, second gear slow pull

 

links not working =[

 

Im not sure if its just me but the link isnt working. Im not entirely sure you linked to the right thing, personally it take me to my personal video page. lol

 

Damn it... alright ill remake the video again

 

i don't think u need to remake it i just think the link u used wasn't the right one.

 

tuning is important in any car ..... some ppl think they put a after market intake on and automatically get 5hp increase..... this is false information provided by the supplier just trying to make u buy the product.... i mean, Yes u will get that 5hp increase but that's after tuning....without tuning, u will loose hp !!

cant post without pictures

 

updated my post, also what are you guys all doing for a header?

 

nothing but custom made from 321 stainless from burns stainless

 

Please please feel 100% free to give me input on the below items as I am gathering parts for my K20A Type R swap. Im pretty new to the K world but I was a boss at B series back in the day with my b16b crx. HELPS!

1.anyone gonna be hard and rock NO AC? im debating. lol its not that bad. yet... I live in texas also lol. i could save soo much weight, money and time with no ac.

2. Fuel injectors. I think im going to use RDX injectors for my k20A type r. price is good, oem, and im going to stay NA. any input?

3. Im going to use the stock intake manifold from the RSX S. I have one. I just need a throttle body. what is the oem bore of the S intake mani? just seeing if i could use something better than the stock type S throttle body sense I have to buy a throttle body. I DONT want to bore anything really.

4. Hybrid racing A/C delete and PS. Im guessing they come together. we dont have a PS system really because its all electrical. do I still need both of them? please help explain. If you were deleting A/C, would you use this kit?

5. Fuel pump? stock not gonna work huh. lol im guessing not. Walbro is it? Had to do this with my crx also back in the day.

6. Im planning on using hybrid racing's shifter box. you know the nice one. Just making sure i still dont need the OEM RSX S shifter box. correct? it replaces it right? no additional parts? How about which shifter cables? RSX S right?

7. Sense this motor is a jdm k20a, I can use rsx S replacement parts right? for everything correct? It looks like most are but im just making sure that all of them are okay to use. if anyone knew about something that wasnt okay to do.

8. Oil pump? my motor does have the type R pump in it. I didnt know if i should replace this or not sense i was doing water pump as well. should be fine right? 40k miles on the motor.

Sorry if I sound newbish. I feel like I know the answers but just wanted to make 100% sure I am correct. Your advise is GREATLY appreciated. I have constantly researched k20a.org and actually am right now too. lol hard to find dirrect yes or no questions without posting. hard to dig.

Please be gentle haha. HELP ME GET THIS SHIT GOING! <3 u

 

1. iam useing k tuned idler pulley kit, rite now i dont have ac, but with this, all i need is k20 compressor, ep3 sump lines and bigger belt, not a big set back and worth doing in my opion, its not like you cant turn off the ac when a mustang pulls up beside you
2.the stock 310 injectors will be plenty, id only recomend the rdx if you have stage 3 cams, pistons, etc.

3. bore on type s manifold is 62.5mm, it depends on if your gona use drive by wire or a cable throttle body, if cable look at www.karcepts.com for adaptors, iam useing a tsx manifold with j35 dbw tb, has 68.5mm bore.

4.its one piece kit that relocates the altenator to where ac compressor goes, i would get the k tuned idler pulley, works the same but makes it so you can put ac on later if you want to where other kits you cant, plus its adjustable.

5. the stock pump will work fine, iam not max out my duty cycle yet, if you go built motor or boost the yes go to better pump.

6.iam useing the rsx box rite now, but iam waiting for hybrid box to come in the mail soon, still gona need some modifaction to work, i will have a diy thread on this very soon. yes type s cables work fine.

7.only thing different from k20a and k20a2 is cams and internals

8.you should be fine, its same as a type s pump, if you want drop oil pan and make sure its not bent and gears are still good.

 

Breadman for president! thanks man for your fast response!

I was inquiring about injectors cause my k20a doesnt have any as I bought it. I will be using drive by cable. with the ep3 petal and rsx s TB
i have the compressor for my k. just didnt know how hard it was. thanks! ill go go AC! haha

 

IDK if this helps you at all, Im going to be running 550cc injectors on my K24, I forget what company where going with.

I will not be running A/C, I dont use it ever and it doesn't even work in my car right now so im just getting rid of it to make some room. Talking with the shop that is building my engine, they said they can use OEM Honda parts to delete the A/C.

I kind of know how you feel. I have been doing research for this swap for 3+ months and I still have questions and am learning.

 

you use your factory condesor and factory ac lines, you just need to change the sump lines to ep3 so it will work with a k series compressor, not hard, if i can help with questions ill try my best, did most of my swap in dirt driveway!
plus hondas are known for gutting to make faster, it pisses off v8 guys when you beat them then start naming off all the functioning parts you still have on your daily driven car lol

correct, the oem ep3 idler pulley will work fine, i just perfer the k tuned version cuz price is almost the same and its adjustable where oem one isnt
wow, 550cc injectors, your gona have a good duty cycle, you can use id1000 if you wanted to, just need good pump, fuel pressure regulator, and proper tuning, thats what iam eventaully do cuz i wana boost mine and i believe in going over what you need, you can allways turn it down vs need more and having to buy twice.

 

1.anyone gonna be hard and rock NO AC? im debating. lol its not that bad. yet... I live in texas also lol. i could save soo much weight, money and time with no ac.

A: My car is a daily....i need AC...that;s a MUST ! and i got custom AC lines made so i can hide them !!


2. Fuel injectors. I think im going to use RDX injectors for my k20A type r. price is good, oem, and im going to stay NA. any input?

A: depends how much power u want...i want 350-400whp and now i have 750cc Bosch injectors

3. Im going to use the stock intake manifold from the RSX S. I have one. I just need a throttle body. what is the oem bore of the S intake mani? just seeing if i could use something better than the stock type S throttle body sense I have to buy a throttle body. I DONT want to bore anything really.

A: it is very easy to bore !!...i used hybrid racing 70mm....cuz with that i can still remain my cruise control system !! and NO DBW !

4. Hybrid racing A/C delete and PS. Im guessing they come together. we dont have a PS system really because its all electrical. do I still need both of them? please help explain. If you were deleting A/C, would you use this kit?

A: No idea..i dunno why u wanna ditch PS and AC...r u racing ur car ? other wise i see no point

5. Fuel pump? stock not gonna work huh. lol im guessing not. Walbro is it? Had to do this with my crx also back in the day.

A: i have walbro 044 pump with custom brackets in the tank

6. Im planning on using hybrid racing's shifter box. you know the nice one. Just making sure i still dont need the OEM RSX S shifter box. correct? it replaces it right? no additional parts? How about which shifter cables? RSX S right?

A: Hybrid racing DOESNT make a shifter box for HONDA FIT.....u HAVE to use OEM RSX 6spd shifter box and modify it to fit the chassis

7. Sense this motor is a jdm k20a, I can use rsx S replacement parts right? for everything correct? It looks like most are but im just making sure that all of them are okay to use. if anyone knew about something that wasnt okay to do.

A: i have JDM K20A motor and from what i remember...i have to get alot of parts off the RSX Type S

8. Oil pump? my motor does have the type R pump in it. I didnt know if i should replace this or not sense i was doing water pump as well. should be fine right? 40k miles on the motor.

A: from what i understand...S2000 oil pump would be ur only up grade for K20 motor for oil pumps....but how much power are u trying to push would answer this question....but for tuning up .... at 40000kms i don't think u need to.

 

why cant you use the hybrid racing box, I could have swarn that is what you where going to use?

 

+1, thought it replaced your oem rsx s shifter and to install it drill 4 holes..
