been waiting for this vid first like and view lol

4 years ago in your video about the last ride before changing this bad boy for a K24, I made a comment about me buying an FA5 with 200k miles on it, gotta say I still have the car full bolts on + tune and I have 0 regrets about it, still drive it daily and now even my 2.5 years old daughter loves to get a drive on it for sleeping! the 8th gen SI platform are just perfect cars, seeing this K20 making a comeback 4 years later is majestic.

I always advocated for the original engine, the original soul of the car!

Lets go!!!! Best content in the 8th gen community!!! Make sure you document everything well, long form if possible. I wont skip a single Ad, and will click on all ads to increase your revenue

Love to see the rebuild begin! Super cool to use what you got too. Never stop wrenching and never stop GoProing. =)

Good luck with your build!

Slap a turbo on the k20 set up!!!

You got this bro 😎 💯 ❤

This is awesome man. I am happy for u! U may just want to keep it all motor.

Never stop wrenching

_You’ll be calling this car Phoenix, bringing it back 🔥_

Thanks mane

Vtec for life

I love the Z3 rev out which is why I'll probably never drop a k24 in mine. I'm just starting out my channel. 14 years too late but whatever.

can easily rev a k24 to 8600rpm with a type s oil pump

Love your content bro , been following for years ! I think you made a great décision rebuilding that k20 ! Since it will all be refreshed why not do a frank k20/24 ? Best of.both world lol

Never mind i.just saw you replied to that question earlier lol

Im in the process of rebuilding my k20z3, been thinking of going with the type r pistons instead.

K20T all day.

U might want to change the oil pump from acura type s

Actually doing the same to my z3 right now. Just got the heads back had one bent valve. Costed $350 to get the heads done. About to send my block to the same shop to get work done with some new pistons etc. Do you have any recommendations for any pistons that are oe spec or maybe even something slightly bigger?

Are you going to ever do a install video on the type s oil pump kit you got?

Probably Not. Type s pump will be a for a k24 future build.

What do you consider high mileage? My K20z3 is 286K. Love the car, I just replaced Lower Upper Arms and Steering Tie Rod ends all original from 04/2007 when I bought new. Was overdue....drives like new. 🙂

@@frosty212 I'd be lying if I told you mine with 286K doesn't burn oil. It does...Regardless of changing the oil every 5K and the the PCV valve. Is what it is, oil is cheap. Engines are not. 🙂

Still outta' work. How you pay the bills?

Same Here fa5 is running great clocking 287k miles orig motor n tranny

I ran my K20 without oil when I drove home from work with a major oil leak and it still runs. I might need to replace some bearings and set the valve height because it makes some strange noises now.

Depends on what your goals are honestly if you want something fun but still a reliable daily then I would rebuild the bottom block, new bearings, pistons if yours are good and want to save cost get new piston rings, arp bolts, and the type s oil pump. Get the head and block leveled by machine shop and go from there.

Why not k24/k20 head

@staticsebaa personally, I was all about the k20/k24 frank for the longest. After I conducted some research, I just like keeping the full long block from one or the other. I think it is more reliable that way. Not saying the k20/24 is a slouch by any means, but from the ones I’ve seen, they put down 230hp or so. K20z3 bolt ons/tuned put down a solid 220 while k24’s full long blocks are more like 225/230hp. Miss my k24

That k20 looks like a boat anchor.
