Spencer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 But this is what you guys have been pushing them as for the last while? Well in my book its hardly expensive for what you get, but around here 4-5k initial outlay for an engine/box may as well be 5 million dollars it seems. Edit: 140kw for a stocker is no joke! Its pretty crack up when you see s2000 guys bin the F20c motor for a stock K24a3/2 and the car is instantly way faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 140kw is pretty decent. My B18c with intake, stock headers and mugen exhaust untuned made 130.5kw but would be down on torque compared to the K24 so less usable power (At the same dyno day a EP3 Type R with K20 that had mugen intake and exhaust made 131kw about 10mins after mine) Difference is b18 will run out of "cheap" power at 140kwish kseries still has a good 20kw up its sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 oh, definitely. They seem like a good option. I wasn't meaning by cost with that one remark, merely pointing out the probable cause for this thread to be built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 A K2*A powered MR-S would be freaken sweet. Super light, lots of revs, insane steering response. Pretty much a road legal gokart, much want! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 A poor mans Aerial Atom as they had a K20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 The Atom is cool, but it's more Toy than Car I reckon... If I had a 10 car garage I'd have one in there for sure! But if I could have something as a 2nd car for the weekends etc I'd prefer something a little more usable...Something with a roof and body panels makes it a lot more likely to be driven during the 75% of time that its raining in Auckland haha.

Condescending comments about people doing anything else, but I dont see your K24 build anywhere either? Or is following your own broadly brushed advice too expensive and difficult? In other news, were any (all?) of these engines tipped over a bit from factory? In terms of sump angle etc. It seems like a behemoth of a thing when stood up straight, do they have a gank lean in FWD setups like Toyota motors do? One of the best things about FWD cars is how they can have that sweet super low nose and good aero. So guessing they tip them a bit? Love the shape of the Torneos DC2s etc with the super low front. Not a fan of cut or lifted bonnets to fit things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sumps look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorollaGT Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Don't know if its been mentioned but the factory sumps have no baffling so if any spirited driving it going to happen it would be a wise investment to put a baffle plate in.

Rookie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This whole thread is aimed at race cars, and we all know that race cars need a dry sump... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 From a few cars I've seen people have fabbed up a tin sump for their conversion. Big flat FWD sumps can be a PITA in RWD and yea not the best at keeping oil around the pickup. I had my one sitting next to a 18RG and it wasn't that much taller, if they fit in a early MX-5 and a 86 then they are going to work in lots of things.

Roman Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah thats a big oaf of an oil pan! Rookie a factory beams motor baffled sump with minor mods is good for 1.9g without oil issues. No reason why a k motor couldnt have a wet sump banged together that does the job too? Although in saying this ive managed to bang mine on the ground. The extra clearance of dry sump would come in handy. But not worth the trouble for that alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yea you can easily make a wet sheet metal sump that will do the jerb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
