The idea is that they are equal up top but so much more responsive in day to day street situations. They spool like K16s and pull like K24 hybrids. What else can you ask for besides a supercharged 7.0 liter V8 (divex)

The $$ difference is not that much considering the fact that a good of set K24s can sell for $1200-$1500


I spend 99% of my ride on city streets. Not doing 60-130 or head to head freeway runs.
I agree. This thing rips in 1st and 2nd gear. One reason I wanna do a 0-60 and then a 1/4 mile. This feels like it spools even faster and harder than my old k16s.

I thought the k24s were trading for more than that tho? Like $2000ish +?

For a street or drag car I think the factory flywheel is not bad to keep.

+1 on the GT2 hydraulics conversion. Seems like a nice mod.

There is always the remove the TT clutch spring mod.... haven't tried that yet.
I've only had the LWFW so I don't know any different.

I am hoping this lasts awhile. So far so good.
