To everyone saying " go get IPS this or that" do you truly know how long it will take you to get your parts? I would say 6 months AT LEAST. Also how many of you realize cams are $1600 and the intake manifold is $2000. Plus unless you are a butt buddy with nikos or have been swinging off an IPS' affiliates nuts you are NOT gonna get an intake I promise.

I have a stock k24/k20 and it rips for what it is.

If I were gonna build a motor on a decent budget I would go with Drag Cartel cams I think they are running a special now on cams and valvetrain for less than $1000. Not to mention they hold the World Record for the fastest/quickest NA k series

Also my friend just made 250whp and 185 on a stock k24a1 bottom end I sold him and off the shelf parts.

I would recommend people to get a working and driving swap going THEN decide if you wanna build a motor.

Something else to keep in mind is you go spend about $700 on a used nitrous kit and you have 300WHP all day long on any k-series with real I-vtec

i already have the swap.
i just need to get the k24 bottom end.
so i should stick with the rbc intake, drag cartel cams or the s2s3 witch ever is cheaper..
im not waiting 6 months for parts.
and i can get a good deal on eagle rods and cp piston so im gonna go with those.
i'm also going to do a 3 angle valve job with skunk 2 valve springs and retainers.
