I secretly wanted the k24 project to work out. But this is also acceptable.

I think a k series in a rotary chassis is a good swap, it's another small, light, high revving engine, and they're normally reliable, just not in this case 😂

@Russell_and_Rosko Жыл бұрын

Fun fact- K24 n/a complete weighs only 45 lbs less than a 6.2 liter v8 with double output. Add a turbo, intercooler + piping, heavy log manifold...it's pretty easy to put together a turbo k that's heavier than the v8...it's just wild to think about. Side note - I love k series, this is not an attempt to downplay how awesome these motors are. Same with a 13b rotary...heavier than you think

great vid as always, i know time is always the killer but if possible it would be great to see the Jag get the LS/8HP swap documented, that would be very interesting indeed as these swaps are starting to pick up, cheers

My old RX8 averaged 12mpg and the best I ever got from it was 19mpg, which was about 220 motorway miles. 20mpg would be a hybrid rotary 😂

@mil3486 Жыл бұрын

I'm curious how different the weight balance and overall weight is with the LT as opposed to the K series/ original two rotor as I imagine they're similar in weight. also would the springs need changing for heavier just to keep up with the load. edit I posted this comment and you moved to weigh it 😂 edit

@lorddoosworth8175 Жыл бұрын

Bare in mind that the LT engine is a pushrod engine whereas the K24 is DOHC, so displacement isnt the only factor when comparing physical size. A 4.8 K24 based DOHC V8 would be HUGE compared to any 4.8 to 7.4 LS or LT. (all the factory LS / LT are the same physical size I think, just less bore and stroke?). Look at the difference in size between a LS and a Coyote to see how big of a difference engine design can make.

I'm wondering why you wouldn't go with an 8l80e, which is native to that engine? I'm sure Zf transmissions are plentiful over there because they are in BMW's. I'm just curious if there is some particular reason.

@randallinocornilius9448 Жыл бұрын

Probably to retain the dash cluster or body harness stuff, idk just my guess

@craigtaylor5075 Жыл бұрын

Mainly for the extra control you can have with the zf box
