My DC5R

I've organised with my friends that the install of the K24 should be happening after Jamboree in QLD.

Awesome.

Looks aggressive. Love it!

If you wanna take off the wing etc. I would personall buy a whole new tailgate. weld and respray the boot, and if u wanna switch, you can. Rather then redrill etc. Thats unless u 100% wanna go wingless.

Awesome.

Thanks

It looks a lot more aggressive in the pictures then in real life.

What a beautiful piece of engineering. With or without the wing, it still makes a stand and has its presence known. Love the aggressiveness of the wheel and can't wait for this k20/k24 conversion to go ahead. Make sure you write a detailed process...can't wait!....

Sigh... it's just a K24 with bolt ons... not a K24/20.

But thank you for the kind words about the car.

oh.. so if you dont mind asking, whats happening to the old k20 then?...selling it?

Yeah... K20 is for sale... once it's out of the car.

I have a couple of people interested in it.

[benson]

Nice looking car!

I've been getting a few PM's from people asking about rims, tyres settings etcs... so here is a cut and paste from a PM I just sent.

I'll put this in the rim fitment thread also.

Front
Rims
Volk TE37
17x9 +22

Tyres
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
225/45/17

Camber
-2'. I intend to run more once I have my adjustable length tie rods installed.

Mods
Currently there is no fender lining in the front, at its current height (pinky finger gap between tyre and guard). Currently it's rubbing on the fender lining tabs. I'll be putting the lining back in shortly, and I have cut this. I'll keep you updated with what other mods I need to perform to the lining.

Rear
Rims
Volk TE37
17x9 +22

Tyres
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
225/45/17

Camber
-3'

Mods
- Rear guards have been rolled
- Top of the inside of the rear bar as been cut

*UPDATE*

Intake manifold, throttle body and VTC should be getting fitted to the new engine this weekend.

I've ordered the following parts off the BYP boys, and they should be getting fitted to the engine shortly after:
J's Racing baffle sump
K20a Modified Oil Pump
k20a Oil baffle pan
k20a Oil pump guide
k20a Oil pump chain

Once all these parts are on the engine, we'll be fitting it, putting on a basic tune, then I'll be looking into a tune!

Very excited about everything coming together now!

[Flippit]

these wheels look bigger than 17's! I always thought 18's were perfect for dc5's and 17's would be too small but seeing these pics makes me think otherwise!

[45SET]

All about the ride height.

If you can dump the car, then yes, 17's can look good. But I'm still not running front fender lining (And I still scrub), and -3' camber in the rear to fit these rims/tyres... but I only drive the car on the weekend, so I can justify it.

If I had to drive the car daily I would def raise it, and get 18's.

I wouldn't recommend this for someone that is driving there car daily, as I can't really go over many speed bumps or drive ways.

[45SET]

Getting a little bit excited really...

These parts are getting fitted today...



- RBC Intake Manifold
- 70mm Karcepts Intake-to-throttle body adapter
- 70mm Skunk2 Throttle body
- 50' VTC
- Hondata Intake manifold gasket
- Assorted gaskets

Nice progress. Did you ever consider swapping the head off your K20 onto the K24? Just curious about your reasoning as I have been having dreams of K24s for a while now, and tossing up between doing a Frankenstein or just putting the K24A2 as is.
