A important note is that after the S2000 came out. Porsche bought one to study the N/A engine response and delivery. What impressed them most was the Manual Transmission with how smooth it shifted. They went to Honda and asked them to help improve their Manual transmission.
Please turn this into some type of kit that includes the valve cover, engine mounts, manifold etc... A lot of the guys in the Porsche 996 community that would strongly take a look at this as an alternative when their IMS goes...
My thoughts exactly. A 2.1 to 2.2 liter bored out k20(or de-stroked K24, I'm not picky) with a PnP type-R head in a lightweighted 997 or even 996 would be spectacular.
@@panchonorthmann6408 especially if you catch one of those 996s that never had the IMS addressed. So either the motor blew or It will give you substantial room to haggle the person down lol. It'll be a great project, Best of luck on your hunt for one.
Love everything about this. I hope you end up producing some of these parts! The spacer for the plenum is awesome, i see so many RWD swaps going electric power steering instead which im not a fan of. Keep up the good work!
Well done Nick☺️, Honda has been suppling proper race engines for many manufacturers that couldn’t keep things engineered to reliability and serviceability.
And the thing of these K20 and K24 engines, is that they are so good, and they came in alot of cars, so its so cheap to replace after the first swap instalation. Super reliable, bone stock slap it a rotrex and u will get like 360 to 380 hp and run it like crazy for more than 3 years
You have just done a awesome job with this conversion...from a guy who drives around a 3.8 swap 996 I can truly appreciate the time and engineering that you've done... For all the haters... f..k them and I can only imagine what this must feel like on the street...take care my friend and I'm ready to see when it's 100%
Absolutely stunning. If you can put down 500bhp what could the 996:7 Turbo boys say. Got to weigh less over the rear axle too no? Keep the badge as understated as the build. “911K” that’s all that’s needed. 👏🔥
This is freaking rad! I am not a Porsche fan but I like how they look. Having a K24 as a the heart is amazing. I will definitely be following this car to see how it evolves. Seriously awesome!
@@obxurv i completely agree, but after all this work, put it on some scales! that's the first thing i would've done....or one of the first things, after a drive of course
porsche and any other brand being using systems same as vtec since 1997 or maybe even before ... vtec ain't nothing new neither specifically from honda.. look for videos about variocam (as for porsche) or simply type variable valve system.
@@erickmich5357 True But the Japanese took front and center on the development and their use of VTEC is bar far nothing that comes close to how it performs.
I believe that if you use some sort of sheet metal to connect the turbo intake with that opening, that would get you up a couple of Hp as you're taking colder air directly from the flow under the spoiler
Wow u took the term "K the world" literally, much props to you my guy I'm speechless 👏🏾👏🏾💯💯👍🏾(please do a vid of you taking to the Porsche dealership for service)🤣🤣🤣
When the video started and you talked about k series motor and what not , I thought you was being sarcastic about this swap. Then I seen the truth, my hats go out to you. Please make this a kit you would get all your money back in no time.
Can't wait to hear the driving clips!! I love what you did here. I think you can probably have 500whp out of this beast, and still have a small enough amount of torque that the P-car transaxle can handle. AWESOME!!!
I love the build and, given your logic on it, makes me think we're cousins from different countries hahaha. It makes perfect sense and something I've been trying to plan myself for the past few years, though I'm just not sure where to start. I had my eyes on a 964, but that was before the huge inflation of their prices. I didn't think it was even possible to do this while maintaining reversibility. I'm watching closely as this progresses - great job!
Great job Nick! Well done - you should offer a kit for it for 996/997 and 987 as we know many suffer from IMS, scoring and other issues and motors are big money... Finally making - 996/7 cars reliable as the M97/M96 is a major flaw. As far as the name : 997Kafer (old name for beetle) , or Karerra or 2.4 on the grille and Carerra T which was used in 70s when they offered 2.4s in E and F series cars !
I'm more intrigued about the handling, boxer surely has low and better center of gravity. But turbo K24 probably lighter than boxer. Really interesting about the handling.
Looks like you did a fantastic job, I really like it! Now I need to find a cheap Porsche with a blown engine. To quiet that exhaust: recirc the WG back into the downpipe, run the downpipe straight to that left tip with a loudvalve-style vacuum-controlled cutout, and a standard muffler bypassing that into the right tip. Or recirc the WG just before a tip if you get more creep.
I watched the video and just subbed. It wasn't mentioned in the video, but do you know what the front vs rear weight distribution is now compared to how it was with the original flat 6 that came from the factory?
I'm really digging this build. I have a 2015 civic si. Aside from acquiring a 911...how much would it cost in terms of swapping/modifying the motor to fit in the engine bay along with exhaust and what not. Just curious....i always wanted a 911...and with my k24 turbocharged in there... Id love it.
Great great experiment. Love it ...7psi spring tho will limit you badly . You need to use a 11psi spring.. or 14 if you don't care for low gear more power... My kit came with an 7psi waste gate spring 4yrs ago when I purchased it. My first dyno session was 433hp 310 torque @14psi stock k20a2 with 300k+ highway miles. 1year later I did a k24/20 still stock everything I made 528hp 372 torque, @18psi tuner couldn't go any higher he would up boost and car make same or less. So I upgraded the waste gate spring too 14psi spring and hop back on the dyno I made 726hp@ 535torque @26psi just by changing the wastegate spring . 2years and driving no issues. I daily it sometimes and race it at times .. I've never had any issue so far besides clutch change once..
@@zethloveless7238 the head was 300k miles and chassis is also. I'm not sure what miles was on the block I got it from local junk yard.i just put a new OEM Honda head gasket and that's all. 2200cc injectors. 560 hellcat fuel pump -8 fuel feed an6 return that's my setup 3inch exhaust ,rbc manifold, stock k20a2 throttle body. That's all
@@workhardidleafter9088 well if your not totally bullshitting that seems nutty for stock bottom end. Must not see kill mode often 😂 usually they start to take a shit before that and your at the point of needing sleeves.

Awesome !!! This might be my first commenting one of your videos.. Ive been following since a few weeks and I'd say your videos are rather inspiring! I own a 09 tsx k24z3 5at 150k kilo and my gf just bought a 07 Csx type S k20z3 340k kilo. I'd like to get a few hints and tips for my k24z3... stock and s.r.i, but it *definitely* needs a tune !!! I might end up driving from Quebec city to your dyno one day, I'll check you out on facebook or Google!
That adapter plate was because of me. KEP didn’t make one until 2018 when I finally convinced the project manager to make one after 6 years of trying. They kept telling me no one is dumb enough to swap a Honda into a Porsche. They had the specs for the trans because of the LS swap, but didn’t have any of the specs for the engine so I had to ship them an engine to spec the starter and flywheel. I had them do it for my VW bug with a g96 trans and k20 engine. Mine still isnt done which sucks but at least I was right on there being a “need” for this adapter plate.
I'd bet you'd gain 10-15 hp by just building an intake that utilizes to factory air intake in the hood. With your filter buried down there around all that exhaust piping you're leaving power on the table. Mighty car mods just did a video of a cam swap on an LS bmw and during the dyno session they really show the difference of intake location and HP.
For the trunk badge, maybe do "K"arrera S? haha
Turbo S badge with a "K" instead, in the same font style and size of the "S" (Turbo K)
Achtung!!
Perfect
GENIUS😂
Carrera 24S Turbo
Should sell this as a kit. Porsche 996 owners (and boxster owners)would be quite the market.
Maybe that's why he's testing the limits of the stocker.
This is a great project! Cheers Nick, gotta go back and check that playlist 🤘 - Taz.

“Too loud for my taste”= too much rice for my sauerkraut 😂🤣😆
All jokes aside, awesome project, tasteful build
Lol
No dude, you are NOT terrible at this youtube stuff. Absolutely awesome my man. You're a creative genius. Just found you.

Well done Nick☺️, Honda has been suppling proper race engines for many manufacturers that couldn’t keep things engineered to reliability and serviceability.
ie. Indy car and Formula One when it was still good.
thats awesome, it doesn't matter what other people say, your building the car for you and no one else, do what makes you happy :D
I totally agree
Porsche chassis with a honda engine is a killer combo
Like Porsche engines are bad🥴
@@daltonsikhosana8275 Porsche engines aren't reliable as Honda.
This carrera no. But imagine a cheap 2006 or 2007 boxster or cayman, totaly striped for track days. Im considering one of these or a lotus

I've always wanted a K24 MR2. But that was before I knew this swap was an option. Very cool that they make the adapter plate
One of the most reliable 911, good job guys.
You got rid of the only flaw in that car and turned it into a modern day Porsche NSX...Badassssssss
Flaw??? 😂 the only “flaw” of this generation is the headlights
Scratch that, this isn’t a 996. So there are no flaws
Thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommended me this video. K997 is awesome!

I want to buy this off you when you're done with it. No joke.

I've never seen such thing. It's really unique!
This is some seriously impressive work!
Absolutely stunning. If you can put down 500bhp what could the 996:7 Turbo boys say. Got to weigh less over the rear axle too no?
Keep the badge as understated as the build.
“911K” that’s all that’s needed. 👏🔥

This is freaking rad! I am not a Porsche fan but I like how they look. Having a K24 as a the heart is amazing. I will definitely be following this car to see how it evolves. Seriously awesome!
#1 Question:
What's the weight distribution now??
Nice build!
This was going to be my question too.
The important question 🤔 engine weight isn’t greatly different, but location ?
I feel like it should be more evenly distributed because it's inline, more weight towards the middle ?
@@obxurv i completely agree, but after all this work, put it on some scales! that's the first thing i would've done....or one of the first things, after a drive of course
probably 2-3% more towards the rear because of all the turbo stuff
That conversion works so so well , love the drop down engine , very well thought out.
... This is the best of both worlds. Absolutely amazing.
EPIC BUILD!!!!! Now that 911 will make it to 400,000kms easy!
Told you Porsche and VTEC are going to mix in and create some splendid specimens.
