Honda K24 swap interest?

[Michael Star]

I bought the kpower kit to swap into my e30. Ya sure the kit is expensive, but it is well made. At the end of the day I want parts that fit the first time, and I don't have to worry about.

Pretty cool video on YouTube with a builder out of Chicago with a k24 swapped e30.

looks like the builder also has a kit too. I’m not affiliated in any way, just thought I would include their link just so you can visit them if you’re interested. Pretty cool idea.

KMiata/ KPower Industries just posted their e30 headers! Ordering mine tonight. Pre-orders get a 10% discount (I'm just a customer, not a rep!)

Looks forward to some builds! And slowly working my car up to accommodate this swap.

Based on searching around. It seems like the k24a2, and 5speed Zf with a 3.72 diff would be preferred? I have m10 so while the g260 may be sufficient, the newer Zf is the better between the two. Can anyone confirm? I’d like to start sourcing parts!

I have an '86 325e with the G260 and will be running an LSD 3.73. I'm sticking with the factory G260 box because the G260 gearing is almost identical to the e30 M3. The 3.73 is good gearing for a daily IMO. I'm sure the ZF's are probably stronger and will be the way most ppl will go.

I've always been interested in a boosted k20a or b16 engine in a e30. Set aside all the purist bullshit it would be a great engine for this car, that is if someone comes out with a swap kit.

How about the red e30 with the K24? Did you have to modify the oil pan or crossmember on that car?

The oil pan is modified but the crossmember is stock. The late model k series jumper harnesses will go on sale this week.

Outstanding news

will this work with RHD cars, as far as you could reasonably tell?

Yes, everything will fit a RHD car aside from our header. So you could have a custom RHD header made, or modify ours as needed (or go turbo). But the mounts, oil pan, adapter, flywheel, should fit without any issue.

Hey guys, we have some exciting news.

Our K24 E30 swap is complete and it's been thoroughly tested on race tracks all over the Midwest. We have all parts in production now, and we expect to have an official launch in August with all details. We're thrilled with the end result - the car is a blast to drive, and the production swap components are of the highest quality. If you haven't done so already, please subscribe to our email newsletter at kmiata.com, and be sure to follow us on social media. I'll be posting pictures of the production engine mounts, oil pan, and more in the next week or two.

We'll also do a thorough write-up with lots of specifics on the package, and will also be making a big announcement on the evolution of our brand.

Thank you all for your patience as we took the necessary time to perfect this swap!

no crossmember changes are needed and that picture is of the f20c mounts

I saw Antipurist have engine mounts, crossmember, and engine wiring harness coming out as a kit (via Instagram). I asked if the mounts would be compatible with my K24, but naw- wrong mounting holes.
