I don't know anything about honda engines, but isn't a K24A a nissan engine? I could be very wrong here. And yeah, like Bambi said... boosted honda can be very fast. Power to weight ratio is everything in those cars.

no a KA is a nissan engine out of a 240sx. A K24A is a honda engine As far as I know.

my friend has the only civic i would get a ride in..

b16 vtach.. excuse me vtec

with hondata, huge intercooler, 3inch exhuast with ddp, pushing a little over 300 HP.

its quick as fuck and most people don't expect to get raped by a civic SI.

But again, i'm not one for civic's, but his is pretty badass.

i mean, i hated on them for a longg time. then my friend turbod his d series coupe, and i was like meh..

till i raced him repeatedly on the highway and from a dig..:3d_frown:

i have raced 3 boosted civics so far. i have never beaten one up top. i fucking HATE it, but theres little i can do about it. the little bastards gutted weigh somewhere around 2000 lbs, and with a 250-300 horse powerplant, anybody would be hard pressed to argue that theyre not screaming fast when done right.

it took a long time, but i got over my honda hatred. i DO however still hate any honda that isnt boosted that has extensive exterior mods, or any honda whatsoever with a body kit. you can go eurotuner, or you can go JDM TYTz. i REALLY hate jdm tyt kids.. their cars ARE slow lol.. but the euro tuner kids.. arent kids usually. older dudes with some taste in modification that know if youve got 4000 dollars to spend, you got yourself a competitively fast car.

i dont know why i typed so much.

I post K-Series cars cuz right now they are Honda's badass 4banger. I don't like B-Series cuz they are expeisve and in my opinion make shitty power. I have a stock 2007 Honda Accord 4-door 5-speed. It has a K24A8 and makes 166hp 160ft-lbs. I went 15.34@88.00mph. Thats what really sold me on this motor. If i can get a 3050lbs car to go low 15's with 166hp something about this motor is special. The K-series is like Toyota's 2J.
The thing that is great about them is the fact that there are so many parts out there for these motors. You can spend $300 on a shitty DC Sports header or you can spend $1300 on a badass TODA header.
I love all cars and have respect for many different car company's. You can say what you want but Honda is one of the best out there.

so what's up with the zx2 in your name? you like ford 4 bangers too?

I used to have a 2001 Escort ZX2. I had that car for 5 years. And all my screen names and forum names were based off it. I traded it in for the Accord back in march. I hated that car so much. It was a piece of shit. Was on my third auto transmission. Good thing I had an extended warranty. It is the reason why I will never own another "American" car again.

damn, that's actually unusual for the autos to go out. it's usually the manual transmissions that go out on them. that's why i had the mazda manual transmission in mine, plus it had lower gearing and 5 lugs instead of four at the axles.
I had my zx2 for about 8 years btw, and only went through 1 tranny.
I actually miss it.

Hahaha. I do have to admit...you are the first ZX2 owner that I have/talked to that hasn't gone through at least 2 tranny's. I don't miss anything about mine. It had 73k on it when I traded it in. It rattled. The tranny slipped so bad. Im 99% sure the unibody was bent. I hated that car. But It was my first car.


Oh yea and BTW...see my sig? That is why I love K-series.

Im not trying to piss you off but obviously you don't have a K-series and know nothing about them so it's ok. B-series is the little bitch of Honda motors now.....

if so be the case.. why did i absolutely walk a k20/k24 turbo civic hatch with my boys built Turbo gsr on 7 pounds? :evil2: and we talkin speeds above 130

lol. but at the same time tho i dont discredit any honda whether they have a d series or K series. the only one i would rock tho for the fwd is either an integra or some form of CRX, .. K swaps are kool but cost way too much, my friend saved for a k swap but just put the money into his B series and now his car makes 390whp on 17 lbs with pump gas

Ok well if it is a K20 with a K24 head the guy who built it is retarded. It was probably a K24 with a K20 head. If that is the case then the guy can't drive and should be shot in the face. A non built, non turbo K24block/K20head will put down 250-270whp. So I am calling bullshit.
