My Entry to the BIGBLOCK Club

[talonXracer]

Well I have the startings for my K24, a K24A1 shortblock.


I also have a TSX crank, balanced and micropolished along with a set of Ultralite Rods and a set of 11:1 Wiseco pistons from BPM. I will use a RBC oil pump/balance shaft assembly and K24A2 balance shafts. The Z3 head and K2's will also be going on this block, along with the RBC and maxbored TB. It should prove entertaining!

*** UPDATE***

The pistons and rods arrived


And then they went to SwainTech for extra thick Goldcoat and PC7


Here is the balanced and micropolished 06' TSX crank


Here is the block bored out for the 87.5mm Wisecos, just have to hone


I figured a set of ARP main and Head studs wouldnt be a bad idea


A comparison between the K24A1 rods/pistons and the Ultralite/Wiseco's, which is which?


This "was" meant for the 2.2L build,,,NOW it will find a home on this K24.


And seeing as I will be useing the RBC head, I will need to add the TSX head gasket and the coolant divertor to the K24A1 block. The head gaskets are "very" different, notice the pink areas which highlight the differences. K20A2/K24A1 style on top and the K24A2/4 and K20Z3 on the bottom.


I will be useing the RBC oil pump and pan as well. I replaced the RBC balance shafts and installed a set from the TSX(to match the crank). Here is a pic showing where on the cover i had to remove material to clear the TSX's larger weights.


The IPS K2's will work well with the porting done, all done with the help of a SF600. Here are pics of the combustion chamber and ports on the Z3 head.

Here is the Hytech Cam Tower oiling modification done to the #5 cam cap



And the head mocked up with the black powdercoated VC and RBC IM.
