Why are K series engines so cheap?
k24 longblocks are fairly cheap since they're just longblocks. cant use the harness or trans in swaps anyway so nobody really wants those. complete k20 swaps are still fetching a premium with jdm itr k20a's going for 5k from hmo. kinda ridiculous considering a k24 with simple bolt on's and tune will make just as much hp and gobs more torque without having to spin to 8600. all for a few grand cheaper.
i take my k20 to 9k at the track and whenever i'm getting on it on the street, each time i'm afraid it's gonna blow up. :nervous:
