RacnJsn95 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I bet a lot of you guys have seen the L6 DOHC head that is being made by 1_fast_z, by cutting a couple KA24 heads into thirds... In theory the oil and water passages line up, am I correct? I know the combustion chamber spacing is the same as an L engine. So besides the timing chain issue, what stops you from putting KA head, on an L16/L18/L20b? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So besides the timing chain issue, what stops you from putting KA head, on an L16/L18/L20b? If it's going to stay a 4 cylinder, why not just use the KA block and have the extra displacement? Yes the stroke is long but the extra CC's would add alot of needed torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I know some one is Australia has done the non DE head - so I am sure a DE should be do-able. See http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=112888&highlight=ka24+head for more links to this conversion. DAW is correct the L20B crank in he Z20/Z22 block would be the way to go. I was thinking about this for one of my projects but I have purchased a CA18DE for that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
