sweet build. Glad you showed the valvetrain upgrades because its really worth it over just a drop in cam. That valve spring compressor looked pretty easy to use too
Nice good stuff. Thinking about upgrading the entire valvtrain going 3" all the way down, and a head port for my k24a2 and then getting retuned. Right now pushing 226hp in 05 rsx, just intake headers exhaust ktuner. Good stuff love the numbers
Here we swap k24's into Honda civic EK hatch which is lighter than the dc2 but in this vlog I'm just showing you different ways to make power in the rsx.
@@bhadz100 I wouldn't recommend it but if you must drive you can use a tune data that's close to your setup... upload the map with Kmanager if you have kpro.
It was a stock k20a2 head, I just transfer the 50° cam gear from the stock cam on to the S2 cam then install the springs and retainer, set the timing and that's it.
Just get a string like what I used in the video and feed it in the cylinder where you plan to do the valve work, then rotate the engine until the piston in that cylinder where you feed the string reach the top. After that you can replace the two intake and exhaust seals for that cylinder then repeat the process for the other three cylinders.
RBC ported to 72 or 74mm paired with the same size throttle body, injen cold air intake, Megan racing header accompanied with a 2.5 exhaust system (3" would be nicer), that's for bolt ons. To add a little more you can grab the 06-08 intake and exhaust tsx cams.
@@jonahswanktv2167 Most people would say get it tuned right away but for me you don't have to, just try not to go too much in the high rpm's and you're suppose to be good until you find a tuner.
@@rohanovegeway8627 Should of done it, its really easy, type S oil pump flows a lot better it's actually safer for the engine. Stock pistons will also handle up to 8600rpm on the k24. I have a k24a2 in my eg and did the 50 degree vtc and type S oil pump and its amazing. I'm building a z3 head to put on it next

The progress you have made on this car is amazing. That in itself deserves a subscribe. Cheers
Thanks, I really appreciate the support.
I hear a 🇯🇲 yaad man voice.. love the content
Madd ting.

What type of cams you plan on using? 3" is very good for K series engine, you get more off of them with that size.
@Rohanovege Way same ones as you used is probably what I would end up using.
@@ghost-carnage8964 I'm currently in a dc5 group and a member has those cams also, pushing about 286hp to the wheel.
@Rohanovege Way that's amazing, good to see the potential in this motor with simple modifications.
Very Nice. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome, appreciate the feedback.
You deserve more subs for all the content put out. I hope more traction comes your way.
In time bro... Much Respect.
Nice a rare car
Sick numbers buddy. But you need to polish your head lights.... Those guys are nearly opaque.
The whole car needed a little cleaning up... appreciate your feedback.
You need to put that swap in a lighter shell like a dc2 and be ready to be amazed.

Excelente amigo asi es que se trabaja buena esa
gracias hermano.
Great job my friend.
Nice build I have a build similar to yours mine make 240hp on 06-08 cams
did you do valves, springs and retainers? If so did you need to send out the head?
That's some good numbers, our initial plan was to use tsx cams but we change route because they were hard to come by.
@@rohanovegeway8627 I'm going springs and retainers next year with some big cams
@@k24csx13 would love to see this...what's your hp goals?
@@rohanovegeway8627 275hp minimum
If u did tune on open header it would pick up 10 or 15 more HP but good power overhaul
True... But the car is a daily and we don't want any problem with authority.
Good job
Sick build man. I just recently destroyed my a3 engine, planning on swapping in another one. Unfortunately I don't have the budget for a better engine
Sorry to hear that, don't give up on getting a performance engine in you're budget though.
Can you drive this using stock ecu and tune while waiting to be tuned
@@bhadz100 I wouldn't recommend it but if you must drive you can use a tune data that's close to your setup... upload the map with Kmanager if you have kpro.
Did you enjoy the car with this camshaft setup?
Enjoy to the fullest but wait, tuning date coming soon.
Very nice
hey man where did you get the vale spring compressor tool from?
EBay $50.
How are the skunk tuner cams vs pro cams vs drag cartel 2.2/3.2? Anyone wanna drop some cam wisdom?
By running a stage 2 cams did you use a rbc 50 degree vtc and did u not have to do valve to piston clearances
It was a stock k20a2 head, I just transfer the 50° cam gear from the stock cam on to the S2 cam then install the springs and retainer, set the timing and that's it.
Where you get the tools for the springs and retainers?
They on ebay
So you can remove the valve Springs on these cars without the valve dropping into the cylinder?
Yes, I do it all the time.
Just get a string like what I used in the video and feed it in the cylinder where you plan to do the valve work, then rotate the engine until the piston in that cylinder where you feed the string reach the top. After that you can replace the two intake and exhaust seals for that cylinder then repeat the process for the other three cylinders.
249 crank or wheel ?
Wheel all the way bro 💪
Bro you could be a one handed mechanic lol nah lie yuh bad.
do you have to turn off the engine to TDC every time you change your valve springs in each cams rocket ?
Turn to tdc for cylinder 1&4 then do the same for 2&3...so by doing this you only turn to tdc twice.
Bit too late but you should've used oil or assembly lube prior to installing the cams dry, good video though.
It wasn't captured but oil was on them.
Do you still have your stock valve springs, seats, retainers, and keepers????? I’ll buy them
Only the retainers and valve spring.
@@rohanovegeway8627 how much you want for them
Do you still want thos springs and retainers?
What fuel injectors are you using bro?
Oem?
Bosch 550cc
What performance upgrades would you recommend for a k20z1 rsx-s
RBC ported to 72 or 74mm paired with the same size throttle body, injen cold air intake, Megan racing header accompanied with a 2.5 exhaust system (3" would be nicer), that's for bolt ons. To add a little more you can grab the 06-08 intake and exhaust tsx cams.
There's another stock intake cams that is more aggressive than the 08 tsx cam but that I'm going to reveal on another vlog.
@@rohanovegeway8627 would it require a tune right away or can I get away with driving it with bolt ons for a bit while I find a tuner
@@jonahswanktv2167 Most people would say get it tuned right away but for me you don't have to, just try not to go too much in the high rpm's and you're suppose to be good until you find a tuner.
@@rohanovegeway8627 FD2 type r cams I think are better. Ported RBC and intake manifold with velocity stack and it's pretty fast
Why a k24 oil pump?? K20a2 oil pump is way better.
Didn't want to touch the lower half of the engine, if you notice no piston upgrade was done.
@@rohanovegeway8627 Should of done it, its really easy, type S oil pump flows a lot better it's actually safer for the engine.
Stock pistons will also handle up to 8600rpm on the k24. I have a k24a2 in my eg and did the 50 degree vtc and type S oil pump and its amazing. I'm building a z3 head to put on it next
@@KevinMO91 I know how to do it, I've done it to my rsx. This build is a friend of mine and that's what he wanted.
@@KevinMO91how about the rods at 8600 rpm?
plm is trash. You would gain 10 hp with serge header
Noted.
What is this serge header you speak of?
Skunk 2 alpha gives great results too
@@evanbouillion3861look up on google: serge bo headers. it's good quality for it's money
Props for doing that shit and recording for us at the same time ! 🫡🤘🏼
