It must sound like I have an agenda against Honda engines :) sorry to sound that way.

I will ask the owner how much to build his 2ltr one without the cost of the billet crank which was done in order to utilise the shorter L18 block with extra flywheel bolts as it will be revved to 10,000rpm on a regular basis.

The Ka24de head just needs the timing case mods which are by no means difficult as the K, L and Z series share alot of architecture similarities.

The devils in the details when it comes to building a high revving L series twin cam hybrid to match say the F20C but with the cost of L20b block and Ka24de found at almost all good wreckers its hard to ignore the fact the cost is quite good. Using good rods, pistons, cam and springs the rest is there for a reliable hipo engine. Even stock the Ka24de makes 150-155hp that goes up a fair bit to 180+hp with the right pipes, ecu and inlet mods. All up weight will be still much less than the F20C. For power to weight this NA is a great effort.

Still believe the Honda belongs in a Honda or locost. :)
eg. as a passenger in this setup though
