Default KA20 cam swap?

i was reading about the k series engines. it stated that the rsx and the civic engine were totally different as far as vtec engagement. they also stated that the rsx head could be used in the k24 found in the pilot. this combination put down 18x whp and 15xtq. this was a 20hp gain and 30tq gain over the stock rsx.

Nitrous is not near as bad for your motor if you know how to use it, as long as you don't run lean and don't use it all the time everywhere you go you will be fine. Definately swap with the rsx motor, then you can give me your engine that you don't need right? lol it was worth a try.

Of course it wont be as bad if its done right, but its still bad. I think it works better on V8 and cars like that, but its awesome if u dont plan on having your car a long time.

if you think about it.....just driving your car normally stock is bad for it..... as far as comparing 4cyl to v8, either way you look at it nitrous damages the engine the exact same way regardless of how many more pistons the v8 has. tune it, use it right and youll be fine. its like a turbo. bad *** intercooler and ****ty fuel managment and ur askin to buy a new motor. its all about tuning. everything has its cons.

Exactly, like I said, if it's done right and used right, no problems. You can make an engine last years running on nitrous, just don't run too big of a shot and don't use it all the time as well as keeping it tuned right.
