So I just watch this video again haha, and one thing I forgot to add to the conclusion is the Frank is effectively an accord engine accords are cruisers. If you need to do any sort of motorway mileage or anything of that type of daily driving, it’s perfect. But with the z4 head with the cams on vtec it’s a beast that doesn’t try to kill you
Brilliant! I bet that’s a laugh. Really enjoy the instant torque on the Frank. For me it felt sentimental, it feels like fast NA cars used to a decade ago before everything went turbo
I also have a frank, ep3 version, running at 250bhp, (for now) and 200lb of torque, was uploaded to the dynodaze channel around a year ago, literally 4 parts and a new map, and i would be looking around 300bhp 🤝🏻 new subciber 👍🏻
Thanks mate! Credit to Joe and his editing skills. Should hopefully help people make the choice. Check out the other half of the video on Joes page if you haven’t already ✌️
@@Matty_Champwhite Great video! I really appreciate your honesty and lack of bias, especially when there's so much press out there claiming that EP3s are superior and the FN2 only has a marginal 1 hp advantage. Your objective evaluation shows that the FN2 is actually a fantastic daily car. Adding a K24 engine not only brings back the lost power in the lower revs but also transforms it into a truly impressive machine, just as it was intended by the factory. Moreover, I commend you for investing your time in creating such engaging videos that showcase your passion and inspire viewers. Keep up the excellent work!
Matt 😄 ...I feel like you are going to switch to K24, And, SC in coming 2 years ;-) But before that, all the things you are 'missing' from J's mods. Great video guys!
Were you on standard springs, i have tein springs fitted to mine but tempted to stick the standard springs back on, ive forgotten if it was more comfortable with the standard springs.
Tried them all went back to a stock for ride height, issue with my area is speed bumps and 3” exhaust catching on everything! Teins are way way more comfy that eibach though and less ‘crashy’ than OEM
Yeah it’s wedged in there on the shaft driven ones. It’s a lightweight half size thing too.. Scuttle tray off, it’s a bit of a faff to be honest so make sure you fit a decent one!!
@@Matty_Champwhite wouldnt miss it for the world mate ;) we so need to do a future one comparing both of yours to say a stock fk2r and fk8 perhaps? see what differences are gen to gen over stock. i can think of a champ white 9G who would be up for it ;) Hemms would be up for a stock fk2 id imagine.
Theres four kits : -Sports is the Gen 1 kit. To be avoided as it has no intercooler -Super sports Gen 1 kit. 350-370bhp but deletes the inlet manifold so looses out down low. -Full race, sits at the bottom can fit any size charger but deletes the AC -Shaft drive Gen 2 kit, best kit for road car, everything is better and improved in the kit vs the Gen 1. Shaft drive keeps the AC can fit any size charger and keeps the manifold so makes “turbo beating low down power but still blistering up top” to quote TTS
@@IslandFN2 can’t see it atm, their website is down. But if that’s the super sport shaft drive kit it’s the same one I have. With the 3” exhaust it made the big numbers

I got a k24 frank ep3 makes 277bhp. Totally agree with your comments on it.
Mines got Eagle rods and revs out to around 8.3k

Wicked Video... Love the respect you both have for each others builds 💯👌🏾
Thanks for watching mate appreciate the comment 🙏🙏
Agreed

If 4 parts means, bigger injectors, ported IM, 12,5 comp pistons, and a fully built head + stage 3 cams, yes, 4 parts and you will have 300hp 😂😂😂
Smashing video mate, what its all about, fun , fun, and yep more fun epic cars👌👍✌😎
Thanks for watching Daz glad you enjoyed it mate, was certainly a fun one to do. And a great experience to drive a Frank
Great video guys!
Thanks mate! It’s honestly the way forward.
If I was you I’d be keeping my eyes out for k24A3 blocks mate. This is going to be a major rager!
Top video, Matt! Thorough enjoyed
Thanks for your comment! Was a really fun one to make
Awesome video 👍😁 A pair of cracking FN2s. 👌😍
Thanks so much for watching dude, appreciate the comment! Was a fun afternoon
@@Matty_Champwhite yeah I bet 💥💥💥
Well done!! Nice comparison and nice video!!! Thanks!

@@mikar636 top comment this, it’ll mean the world to Joe too thank you 🙏
Great video that 👍👍
Thanks man! Was fantastic to drive a Frank what a car

If my bottom end ever needs doing it will 100% get a K24 chucked in dude absolutely hahah with the charger obviously 😝
great vid!
Thanks Ben! Don’t forget to check out Joes half 🙏
Haha them supersports are mint aren't they😉 top vid guys
They are brilliant tyres
Nice day out for fn2. I'm likely the video. Along with info on mods. Daddy.T.
No problems dude it’s what we did it for! Hope it helps make some choices if you go big boy

Love the k24. Can you specify the list of parts needed to transform a k20 into a k24?
Follow Joe he’s done videos on it. His RUclips channel is linked
Im interested to know how you remove the battery if it died on the supercharged FN, it looks stuck behind that supercharger
Yeah it’s wedged in there on the shaft driven ones. It’s a lightweight half size thing too.. Scuttle tray off, it’s a bit of a faff to be honest so make sure you fit a decent one!!
noice! :)

tbh i think both of your beasts would leave betty standing these days.
I trust both cars had factory lsd yes?
Yes sirr LSD is a must for me in the FN2 in standard form, in these you’d never put anything down
Marty can you tell me what the difference between the TTS sport shaft kit and the TTS super sport shaft kit except for the price
Theres four kits :
-Sports is the Gen 1 kit. To be avoided as it has no intercooler
-Super sports Gen 1 kit. 350-370bhp but deletes the inlet manifold so looses out down low.
-Full race, sits at the bottom can fit any size charger but deletes the AC
-Shaft drive Gen 2 kit, best kit for road car, everything is better and improved in the kit vs the Gen 1. Shaft drive keeps the AC can fit any size charger and keeps the manifold so makes “turbo beating low down power but still blistering up top” to quote TTS
Thanks very Marty I have a Skunk2 pro series model for so which one of the kits you recommend I’m looking at this one TTS-SSSDKIT-HONDAFN2
@@IslandFN2 can’t see it atm, their website is down. But if that’s the super sport shaft drive kit it’s the same one I have.
With the 3” exhaust it made the big numbers
Manifold
@@IslandFN2 yeah shaft drive that looks like. If you’re charging it’s the one to go for! But even if you franked you wouldn’t be disappointed
