Looks freaking rad

What is your goal? Why switch to a K24? 3S has a bunch of potential to make you happy.

Not looked into a 3SGE much, is there much aftermarket for that engine? Theyre sort of weak from the factory, and likely heavy. I could see the allure of a Kswap since it'll weigh less (assuming), make more power, better MPG.
That gen 3SGE is 177hp and 142tq
A KA24A2 is 197/166. So approx 20 more on each, but the aftermarket is huge, especially here in USA, for the engine and making into the 230 range is not too difficult with plenty of 'plans' to get there.

That said - I havent researched the 3SGE (non beams) - does that support exist too?

BTW...I have no problem with Honda motors. I think they are great. I own a few Honda motorcycles. I love them. I just think to spend that kind of money would be better on upgrades than switching.

I understand - but what upgrades are there for the 3SGE engine? What ACTUALLY makes power?
A few grand will get you an ECU and tune, more than that for Intake, header, exhaust. What do you gain?
Im just looking at
a) the benefit of a lighter, more capable modern engine
b) limited options for an engine that few people 'hopped up'

$10K to get 20hp? Not on a 3S. You can spend as little as $300 to get 20hp.

How so?
What 300 dollar mod will net 20hp on that NA motor?

Eliminate the cat and an exhaust will get you that.

Aint no way an exhaust adds 20hp on that engine

Lets step back, this is a 3sge...NOT a 3sgte. You knew that, yes?
