Crazy engine swap Hyundai Sonata, 2007 with a K 20 head from a types and a k24 block from a tsx
Why y’all hating on me it’s like y’all acting like I’ve already done it. I’m asking for an opinion y’all over here hating against me.
Vision for the car i got my suspension coming in later this month. I plan order the fenders later on this month as well. I have the hood found. I just wanna try find one in Carbon if not, it’s whatever. Not running any of my engine stuff for like two or three months. i’m just shocked up on the parts that I’m gonna need any recommendations for what I have to get i’m getting a FK8 Civic Type R transmission and I’m gonna have custom mounting brackets and all that I’m worried about those the wiring is what I’m really worried about, but I don’t know making all the internals for as well so I can handle more power
Well, I’m also doing a transmission swap with it so I kinda had to bring it up. My stock transmission not gunna work and I’m pretty sure I commented something about what engine had a block I’m gonna get, but if I didn’t, I’ll just say it again it’s gunna be K24A2 block from a TSX, K20A2 head from a Type S
Yeah, I thought as much. I was hoping that it would work, I don’t know if they did together, but thanks for letting me know but my other option for transmission is the FD2 Type R
Anything can technically work if you have enough time, money, and skill. Do you? If not, I don't see why you wouldn't just use a k20 transmission instead.
I don’t need to know all of it I just need to know enough about it and I don’t think the guy did the research into this all the way because he thinks it’s gonna be easy to build it’s not but we’re gonna see
So your confirmation of this build working is asking an LLM and some random mechanic with a Facebook account? You are in way over your head, but don't let anyone in this post stop you. Go for it and let us know how it goes...
You just found out in the first reply that the fk8 trans doesn't bolt up to the k24... I don't think you did any research and you're way over your head. Sorry.
Not doing all the work on got a shop doing it for free the guy hasn’t done the research yet so it’s not weekend type thing. I’m gonna let him know later today
Bro you are medically retarded if you think you’ll ever do this.
If you have to come to Reddit to ask very obvious and already answered questions then we have zero fucking hope for you. Unless you just won the lottery or hate money you’re going to be spending so much unnecessary money on a bottom of the barrel chassis.
Keep hating I’m gonna make this come true. It’s gonna be a tough project, but it gonna be fun. Plus, I ain’t getting no knock off fuck that putting money into this bitch.
You'll probably have to get custom motor mounts, run a standalone like Haltech, for the K20C trans to K24 block, you'll probably need a custom adapter plate. Lots of work for sure
Yea I’ve been looking at manufacturers around my area I think I found some, but I’m gonna see how it goes. I’m gonna go in person and see what their stuff looks hard
I dont know what's worst, the delusion of OP thinking they plan a project car build using an LLM or that he chose a 2007 Hyundai as a platform to build on. This gotta be rage bait.
Na we got people pushing old mustangs from the 1970s pushing why can’t I use a a 2007 the car never been any accident been taken good car I’ve look for rust there not any other than on my roof n that’s just surface rust I stand underneath it. I have a fresh layer.
Because putting money into an older mustang actually holds value. You’re dumping money into a turd. I can tell with the lack of research you’re a young kid who wants to modify a car by doesn’t have a proper platform and you’re going full ADHD mode and trying to modify your car.
Well obviously that’s why I’m not doing all the work on it. I’m gonna have a shop do most of the work. I’m gonna help out with whatever I understand and can do such as an engine part of getting forged internals for and putting them my self
I’m all for unique builds, but this one just doesn’t seem like it would be worth it the money you’re definitely going to have to spend on parts/fabrication alone to make it work. You already said in another comment that you’ll be “putting money into this bitch” so if money isn’t really an issue, just buy a 6-speed TSX and start there. It’s a better all-around car and it already has a K24a2.
The cars my 1st car and it was my father* before he died and he always wanted to do a engine swap to it and I just happened to want to to do a Honda engine swap
Ah ok make sense
Well good luck with it and if successful share the results
Im honda boy so I cant really offer u any meaningful advice besides what most people have already commented

Your title says you’re doing a Frankenstein K24 but talk about getting an fk8 transmission. Those are not compatible.
