Hey guys, my questions how I should build my 91 STD hatch suspension to handle the K's weight & power for streetable corner killing & eventually SCCA/track racing. (Drag isn't as key, 13 sec 1/4's ARE on my list ) Here's my HB now. My Civic : / http://www.d-series.org/forums...=1594
1st, what OEM parts from DA integras, civic/crxs, or rsx, tsx, & EP Si's should I swap?
2nd, what aftermarket Civic or other model parts should I get? I know where to get EF civic stuff like coilovers/shocks/struts/control arms etc. Just Im a sohc guy, swap & K n00b.
This is a Daily Driver, just wanna do it right the 1st time. I.E. Should I swap in stronger hubs & knuckles than 4-bolt EF Si? What are decent spring rates for a taut, street K hatch? I have civic wagon front brakes, DA teg rears.
Any suggestions or part lists to upgrade for the K are welcome, remember that the swap is the last thing I'll do. I want the hatch fully prepped beforehand.
The final ?? is of the 6 K series engines I list, which would be best overall, RELIABLE & a good value? I ranked them like this so far. Also which tranny is geared best for road course duty?
1.) JDM K24A (better torque than ITR, more HP than TSX, larger than K20)
2.) JDM K20A Integra Type R (Most potent @ 220 hp, best for power to actual motor size)
3.) USDM K24A2 TSX (200 HP, great torque, light tranny, less BAR certification crap; it US)
4.) USDM K20A2 Rsx type s (200 HP 6spd, most common on list, strong next to k20a3 US Si)
5.) hybrid: CRV block/type s or r head/itr,ctr tranny/TSX magnesium trans case
6.) Insert your K engine idea here! (No B's, H's )
P.S., the K24a isnt much heavier than a K20 because of the magnesium tranny case right? Know the difference? Thanks in advance guys! Mahalo.
