I have to revive this thread just to say how dumb people were in 2010 LOL... you should reread your replies and all the others they are just so funny now.. Now that we have seen a couple K24-swapped Evo's, its proof this guy was WAY ahead of his time. A lot of top EVO drag cars are even running Honda's AWD system now. The K-series is the greatest factory produced 4 cylinder engine ever made. And its really not that close. Sure, the iron block in the 4g63 is strong, but its not a good motor at all as a whole. Its not reliable, the head sucks, and they cost a fortune to maintain.. Even in 2010 it was expensive to mod and maintain these cars. **** if I had k24 swapped my Evo9 back then, Id probably have saved myself some $30,000 over the years! LOL... Pretty sure there is a company that makes a mating plate for the K24 and Evo trans as well as a harness for the swap. K-series pretty much beat the 4g63 in every single area other than block and cylinder strength, but you could buy a billet, water-jacketed K24 block for the cost of a 4g63 these days... Or of course just fully sleeve it. But stock K24's can handle like 500-600whp no problem. Anyway, I had fun reading all the replies from 2010. It was a great read and I got a great laugh! Ill never swap my 9 tho because these cars have become so valuable and collectable, Id be an idiot to do anything crazy to mine.. Mine only has around 60k miles on the chassis, and is pretty much mint condition.

Explain why there are also 4g63 swapped Hondas aswel? Il answer that because some people are just foolish. Swapping an evo or a honda for either motor/drivetrain part is stupid and if you're doing this I question why that person chose that chassis in the first place. Both can handle 500-600 whp in stock form no problem so wtf are you talking about, the evo's AWD system puts honda to shame. Its a moot point debating which is better/worse picking on small things. Sure if you're talking cost to power ratio, the k24 cannot be beat but we are talking about two motors that are both built very well. Period. Turbo engine = 4g63 wins, N/A = K24 wins.

What Evos are running Honda AWD systems? AFAIK, their center and rear diffs are pretty weak and he has to dial in the viscous fluid to limit torque transfer to it was something like 250ish HP (Info from Myles at ER with his AWD Integra).

If there is, cool. I'd like to see it.

Also, I've tried doing some investigating but its pretty hard to find direct comparable information. But it looks like the K20/24 is heavier than the 4G63/4.

Yeah. I call BS as well. Myles's Integra is fast. But it doesn't send power to the rear like an Evo. The ER evo's have some "custom" ACD stuff and are pretty well locking the system into a 50/50 power split by a certain point
