r/Kseries

I’m planning to do a K24 swap (rwd) and I’m wondering about all the sensors I need to keep if I’m going to use a universal wiring harness. What can I throw away or what’s not needed?

I need help with what hondata kpro I need for a k20 dc5 type r

Need some opinions from people that have actually lived with these setups.

I have a fully swapped K24 GSR Integra DC2 with a super short RSX Type S trans, 4.7 final drive, LSD, lightweight flywheel, suspension setup, etc. The car was originally built with more of a “fast street car” mindset, but after my timing chain snapped I’m at a crossroads on what direction I wanna take the rebuild.

I originally always wanted to go turbo because obviously I wanted the car to be FAST fast and get those crazy reactions from passengers/other people. But the more I think about it, the more I realize I genuinely enjoy the spirited driving/backroad/corner carving aspect of the car more than straight line pulls.

Part of me wants to stay all motor and lean harder into that direction. Maybe K20 head, cams, good oiling setup, keep my current trans/header/flywheel/etc and shoot for around 280-300whp with a super responsive setup.

The other part of me still wants boost though. I’ve thought about maybe doing a smaller turbo setup around 350-400whp instead of a huge dyno chasing setup. Also briefly considered supercharger.

My biggest concern with turbo is ruining the character of the car. I don’t want it turning into something that just spins constantly, breaks parts, overheats, and only feels good in a straight line. I honestly feel like maybe a future 240 would make more sense for the full turbo/high horsepower route.

Another thing is I’d basically have to change my whole setup if I went turbo. Different trans setup/gearing, manifold, turbo kit, built motor, supporting mods, etc. Right now the car feels really matched together for a responsive all motor setup, especially with the 4.7 final drive and short gearing.

For the people that have actually owned both types of setups, what ended up being more FUN long term? Not just faster on paper.

Currently working on a k swap and at this hedge in the road, I am choosing between a k20z3 and k24a2, shooting for stock motor ARP head studs turbocharged to the tune of around 400whp on e85, is there one that would be better or does it not really matter?

I am hoping to build my 2003 Acura RSX. I have a 5 speed manual with an LSD which was put in by the previous owner. I think this is the blueprint for a turbo build and was hoping for tips as this would be my first attempt at a turbo car

I have a build sheet made but I was wondering if someone could give me pointers for anything I’m missing (ie supporting mods) and what parts to use

I only want to push 8 PSI

So there is this early model rsx in my neighborhood for sale. Body is beat to hell. Idk what the status of the engine is, But it's a base model 5 speed.

I want to build a k swapped integra. Not sure if I wanna go turbo or all motor. (Age old question). Assuming all the k series parts are still on the car would it be a good pick up for 1200?
