    This is my build for my Acura EL 1.7 L to 2.4 L
    So I decided to drop a K24 into my EL and this is how the build when.


    My car before the swap.






    Some parts I got

    After market rods on the left and stock TSX on the right


    Valve spring setup with S2000 and RSX Type S springs and the head.



    Hybrid racing wire harnest



    Hasport motor mounts


    The K24



    Finished Product With the Valve cover custom painted





    Some new Wheels


    Hybrid chain tensoner cause my stock one was gone , Hondadta manifold gasket and some nice shift linkage stuff from Hybrid to.



    Then i got the car painted






























    Got a few shot's of the car today it was painted yesterday and it was getting buffed and their going to finish up the bumpers and my front grill in the next couple of days .









    This is the metallic in the paint look awsom!!




    We smoked the headlight,signal lights and all chrome on the car .

    Before



    New look






    Well since i have my last post i have updated the car just little. A few month ago i found a awsome deal on a Jackson Racing supercharger a top mounted one. So i decided to get to beef up the old 4 door. Afterwards one of my sent me a link that somebody was selling a aftercooler kit from Mercracing and with the aftercooler kit a Mercracing inlet and 3 inch Mercracing pulley . So i jumped for the deal and here is were i am at now. Oh and i also go a second set of headlight that i painted the housing black.
    Here are some of the pictures of the the updated build.



    mounted it on a test motor to see what i was missing



    Polished it up


    The core for the aftercooler


    some fabrication required to fit it in.








    and the battle continues this week.




    and my headlight finished product


    Some random shots of the car and a random Integras

    We are still in the tuning stage with the car , but making very good progress until the other had a Alternator bole backed off and lost it spacers. But we fixed the other night and back on the road.

    Searching for some bolts and lock tight at walmart , but they don't have any such thing and this was at 9 pm at night on a Sunday
    .

    Well a little update on the build , after driving the car for the a month my 8 year old stage 2 Clutch has taken a fatal hit and no longer to provide .So after some shopping for parts i bought a competition clutch stage 4 sprung 6 puck . Now we are trying to find a solution to place more tension on the belt cause it has been slipping . Also i took advantage when the motor was out to repaint the block and the transmission cause it has been 8 years in the car.

    Not sure what tensioner you have, but you can look at merc racing.

    I got the Jackson racing Manuel tensioner with jrsc but most of the bolts were stripped , so we ended up using the oem one cause that what we had at the time.
