Very good info Nikosaurus

Dark Blue = k24
Pink = k20

i'll be linking to this for my soon to be wonderful k24/k20 frank sticky

 

So the stock redline for the K20a2 is 8600 right?

so the K24 would have the same piston speed at about 7500-7600?

 

The stock redline of the A2 is 7800, 8600 for the K20A.

It's very interesting to see this, as i've been revving my K20A to 9k for quite a while with no problems. Judging by that graph, if piston speed is the only issue, then the K24's should be able to take 7800ish.

 

Cool beanies, I take it this is for stock engines? a built k24 bottom end should be able to handle a bit more correct?

 

So I take it it's easily obtainable to get a k24 to hit 8 grand reliably with rods and pistons of course.....ahhh the options....

 

Because of the longer stroke of the K24, will the side load in the upper RPMs contribute to a possible failure? Or will the increased friction only hurt power up top? The sleeves will be one of the last things to fail, right? What I'm trying to ask is:lol will the increased side load put more stress on the piston/rod combo, thus contributing to failure?

lol, you called him nikosaurus...
cant wait to see your frank thread:up: it will help me alot for when i do my build:up:
also, i dont think theres any way in hell the sleeves are gonna go on a mild all motor build! these stock sleves have been known to take alot of boost :up:
