- How does the team at ASM dominate Grid Life GLTC competition? With the simple combination of a Honda S2000, a K24 swap and some expert driving.

Andy built me a K24 for my RSX type S a few years back, turned out beautiful. I guess you can call him the K Series guru. He is a excellent mechanic and very timely, but most of all his pricing is quite reasonable.
It was amazing seeing these S2000’s go head to head with Corvettes at GridLife GLTC.
Wow! Some tight racing there around 3:31. Thank you so much for the audio, great to hear a K-series doing that thing it does :) Loved having that lap at the end to get a feel of how the car behaves
Killer car-killer track!!WOW..super fast
A K-series is on the "someday" list for my Elise. Why the K24 over K20? Torque?
My favorite colors! ❤
The lap times they get with only 206 HP is insane.
Are you limited to manual transmission in this series? I heard you talking about milking power from every angle since you're HP limited and a few people are installing BMW DCTs into their S2000s. Shifts ungodly fast and would help against your battles with detuned vettes and whatnot.
where can I find the adapter kit for that? is it on a stock stk box? sorry if the question was asked already
No way. Trans2K.
I havent trusted K series for RWD application since Covid started. 4 years later, I still don't.
What wheels are those on car #90? 2:34 for clarity.
Looks like Cosmis XT-006's
Konig hexaform 18x10.5”
Aero is the key.
Damn... wonder how much Ben's civic cost?
2k max
Spec MX-5 global car is 120k, makes this look like a ‘deal’
@6:14 the top was about to rip off!
just some "active aero" lol
F SERIES > k series
The F series found in the S2000 is a K series. It's the father of the K20.
@@dwayne1star317 so then F Series = K Series
@@ramonbriones4487 correct
F-150 4 the win?!
@@dwayne1star317 the F series is practically a race engine, the k series was mass made and put into various different cars. There’s quite a few differences
206hp for a k24?
This race has a power limit, even the corvettes are detuned all the way down to the 200hp range.
Bro Said a K24 from a TSX is a $1000?! What year are you living in LMFAO. No way in hell you find that motor for less than $3K.
In CA where typically things are the most expensive, you can find plenty K24A2s off a TSX for $1k lol
@@ph0kingbrian A good K24, not one out of a CRV with a cut harness and no transmission scrub.
@@zerohikari2685 Not sure if you read, but I’ll repeat myself. $1k from a TSX for a K24A2 can be found in CA all the time lol
@@ph0kingbrian "Trust me bro, I know I can't literally provide a single example but here in CA(where the swap is illegal to do correctly), they are everywhere". Spoken from someone who has never attempted a K-swap in his life.
@@zerohikari2685 Chill out, i can feel your blood pressure going up through the screen. You might live a little longer and happier that way. There’s no further need or want for me to prove jackshit to you if your mindset is closed. Take it easy buddy
again with the its just a $1000 engine. gtfo. In order to make the engine a RWD setup and to get power up to f20 standards costs more than a $1000. not sure how much
I'd say 20-30k
In terms of the K24 itself, you can find them for $1000. However you’re correct in saying that it costs more than that to get it “up to standard”. The swap alone costs around 8-10k depending on how ocd you are about new vs used parts. I’m speaking from recent experience. I just got my k swap from these guys at ASM and where I thought I was gonna spend maybe 8k, I’m about 10-11k in right now due to needed new parts apart from the swap package. No fault of ASM’s though. I think it’ll be worth it in the long run from an affordability standpoint based on the F series being harder to get parts for etc. However, I do prefer the sound of the F over the K series.
He's speaking about the serviceability of the engine. You can hoard all the K20/k24 blocks right now and race for years compared to relying on the low amount of used F20 engines on the market. A bolt on k24 with a k20 head will make more HP than a f20.
@@kenS87 of course it will, it’s bigger displacement. If you use a k24 crank on the F20 and turn that into an F24c it would still match or beat it
@Phil Gledhill the K24 has a lower compression and the bigger displacement is only good for torque. The f20 is maxed out for its NA potential and requires costly upgrades to bump HP. The k series just has more bang for your buck when modifying it.
