RE: Gettin' the most outta the K24A4.
Pretty simple to me..........you want big power you spend big money! That kit will be in the $4800 area, NOT installed, and it's likely that it will never pass emissions testing. I'd go buy a Mazdaspeed 6 with the turbo 2.3 and 6 speed before I'd drop that kind of money on my Accord. Don't get me wrong now, I love my car but that's a lotta bucks!

BUILD UR ENGINE!!!! jesus... turbos are sexy but building ur engine means something... i would rather be spanking turbos with a NA car then hanging with turbos in a turboed car...
i just did some more research... we can make totaly sleeper 220 HP cars with 1 ONE modification... we grab the heads off of a 2007 civic SI... from then u shave them dish them stroke and bore our engine then we can look at about 300 HP NA and we would look completely stock in the engine bay

Really? Just the headers of a 2007 Civic SI would translate into a 60 HP gain?
I'm no pro in engine rebuilding tho...In fact, I'm quite scared of the idea of taking my whole engine block out.

lol, thats not one mod..... you have head swap, then you have to port an polish, then resleeve, you dont need to stroke an f23 engine, then high compression pistons.
just adding the head doesnt translate to 220hp on a 4 cyl would be nice if it did ^_- but the agressive overbore would cost more then putting a custom turbo setup, cause 100mm bore 97mm stroke can get you 300 hp with the right tuning but..... doing that isnt cheap

ok a k20z3 makes 200 HP the only difference is the stroke compression and heads... the K24 with the z3 heads would be putting out more HP then the SIs just because of the displacement... thats why u bring it up to the higher compression and ur good o yeh balancing ur engine is not a bad idea cuz those new heads would bring ur redline up to around 8000 RPM
and who the heck is talking about a f23 engine? these are K20z3s and K24A4s
