Thread: Thoughts on a full race motor setup

Exactly what i said. lol.

Again you guys paved the way and have to give you props for that.

The k series motor is just as finiky as the ve builds when it comes to big bore/stroke builds. Guarantee their failure to success rate is right on par with ours. Its just the sheer quantity of their builds compared to ours that makes it seem like they make it look soo easy.

i wouldnt go that far ashton.

slap on a stock k20 head to a stock k24 bottom add some cams a good header some kpro and its a proven 100% 260 whp set up mid 11 sec car all day.

no if ands or buts.

plain and simple.

honda is king.

stratton.

In the FWD game this is factual.

yep, in the rwd the hondas are still outdone by all the others and even nissans whether it be a big sr drag car, rb drag car, supra, celica, rotary, you name it. Not many hondas are keeping up. One comes to mind is El Freddy which is a K24 rwd powerd drag car running right on the brink of breaking into the 6's. If you havent seen vids of it, check it out. Consistent as hell and rides like its on rails. Very well dialed in car. But yeah there are still many more faster cars out there including sr powered ones. A 20 year old motor is still holding its own.

I hate to agree but this is true. We have some single cam 1.6 cars down here making over 600hp.

K go buy Honda's guys. Lets stop reminding ourselves how inferior our motor is

Yeah but those high hp single cams wont last long. Most dont. Even with sleeved blocks they will split their blocks in half after soo long at about 6-700 whp. You should have seen last years SOHC honda drag day meet. It was blow up after blow up. lol. Kinda amusing to read and see all the picturs of blocks split in half, stock sleeves split from top to bottom, dropped valves, and so on. I think more people broke that weekend than survived.

Back on to NA SR race engines lol

Haha. If I thought they were inferior i wouldn't have spent the last 17 years getting my car to the point it is today.

Back on topic now.
I'm sure you guys will reach your goals.

Theres a 2.3 sr that made 270whp with more left in it, so were not to far behind that 2.4...and there is nooooo k20 with just bolt-ons running 250whp i know plenty of honda guys i dunno what you consider "bolt-ons"
