"Noprep" K24 ek


Ive spoke to a couple h2b lads and it seems like a headache tbh
It's not to to bad:run:(not me trying to convince you to come to the H Series lol) tbh the h2b is a waste of time imo, a full H is the way to go but back to the post at hand, loving the build bro, gonna get a new intake manifold cause i can assist if you still aquiring parts buddy.:secret::nice:

I Do love seeing people still rocking a h swap but parts and support just dont seem to be as handy up here in scotland. Ill let you know! Think we are sound for now, @RyanSi has been digging through his spares piles which has been a great help!
 
Got a bit done at the weekend chucked the new UJ onto the rack and fitted brand new inner and outer tie rods with boots so we have steering again. Still need to loop the PAS until i decide what im doing with it but chances are ill do the same setup i went for with my dc2. @RyanSi fitted a k20 water pump and thermostat setup that he had sitting to allow us to use the ep3 idler pulley so the aux belt clears the engine mount. Next up we permanently fixed on the inlet with the new t7 stacks inside and the ep3 throttle body.

We then made up a fuel system and return utilising the oem filter with a banjo, torque rail and fittings, a tomei fuel pressure regulator and a set of rdx injecrors i had sitting that i had planned on fitting to my dc2.

Mocked up most of the engine loom bar the alternator as we dont have one and the plugs for the cam position sensors are toast so need replaced. Lucky the k24 came with a donor loom we can rob plugs from all in good progress. Id like to keep this prject a slow burner to avoid ending up skint but you know how these things usually go. I will be prioritising getting the integra ready for its mot in may but ill keep the ek updates coming when i make any progress.
 
Good times ahead! Had a night in the garage with the lads, ate some pizza and did some bits with the ek. Fired on the shifter cables to find out the fake ktuned shifter is awful so ill be picking up an oem one next chance i get!

I then pulled the fuel pump which was shockingly clean and changed it for the grams 320lph version for a bit of reassurance and it also makes a hella buzz on startup!

We then fired her up after changing out the crank position sensor for a k20 one to match the loom. I still need to change the file on the ecu as its on a k20 map but it was enough to fire her up.

But the most important job of the night.... was the 5 inch tachometer! Any honda head has seen that old grainy "just a lil 4 cylinder" video from back in the day so it was only right this build got that! Thanks again to ryan as he set it up for me. I know its pure cheese but its so funny. It even has a shift light

Fair way to go now but id say we are over the hill now with it! Loving the direction its going in being able to just have a laugh instead of stay strict with the styling like the dc2.
 
Well after some thought (and a lot of youtube and instagram influence) i decided i was going to have a go at making a drag style wing for the ek. Did we do some r&d? No.... did we wing it by eye using a couple of inspiration pics on google? Absolutely! I picked up a half sheet of 1.5mm alloy and ryan grabbed some rivets and his gun and we got to work. Ive been a joiner for 16 years now so measuring and cutting came easy and i have all the tools to do so.

And this was the end result! Over the moon with it. Ryan suggested the black rivets for contrast but i think it adds to the whole asthetic im going for.
 
Good night in the garage last night. When i got the civic i also bought a set of vti rear trailing arms for £150. Ive put off doing them as its always a risk that youl snap bolts everywhere. So i got stuck in either way.

First up, rta bushes, did a wee exchange with @kanjabrer for the replacements as hes going full poly so i fired up the cut through anything saw and had the new bushes in and done in no joke 15 mins.

Excuse the discs, once the car is moving ill refresh the brakes fully.
Next up was pulling the old arms, i just chopped the flexis as ill get all new replacements next time i order bits. Shockingly the only casualty was a camber bolt which was easy access with a grinder to get it off.

i even managed to get the full handbrake in working order again so we are all gucci for a fat burnout when the time comes!

Ill need to add flexis onto the list along with upper and lower front balljoints so the car is decent enough all round for an alignment.
slowly but surely the vision is becoming a reality certainly a world away from the dc2 in every way so far

Also managed to get a replacement fuel pressure guage for the rail then ryan adjusted the regulator and wired up a fuel cut off switch on the dash under the big ass rev guage.

Next up i need to start on the cooling system, drive shafts and get rid of that awful ebay shifter as its absolutely terrible. I honestly cant see past the oem dc5/crv for a k swap.
 
Updated my dc2 thread and now doing here, the dc2 got a new shifter so i chucked the oem dc5 into the ek with the stinky oem knob. Both lighter and a better feel than that chinesium billet one i had. If anyone wants the old one you can fish it out my bin.

Had to do a small cut on the centre console again to clear but this aint no show pony.
