K24a2 turbo swapping a 4x4 ranger

[SB0409]

So I was wondering, I have this 02 ranger 4x4 that’s a rolling chassis and I was thinking of doing something I’ve never really seen before so I was thinking of turbo k24a2 swapping it.
I realize I would be using an nv4500 and most likely an np205. It would also be a manual swap and the truck is pretty much stripped already so I was wondering what I would need to do this swap besides than and any advice you people have for me, especially size restrictions, if it works I was hoping this would make it around the 300-400hp range as well

Compared to the engine output of the factory engines, it's in the ball park before the turbo. The only thing I'm wondering is how you are going to get what I think is transverse engine to work in a longitude vehicle. Aside from finding a transmission to work with it (which it looks like you did), transverse engine oil pans tend to be shaped all wrong. More power to you if you can get it to work. Nothing wrong with the engine as far as I know when it comes to reliability. I don't think I've seen one force fed but I know people have successfully gotten a B20 to run well with a turbo. They just had to keep the boost low since the cylinder walls are on the thin side. I don't think the K24 has that problem.

That’s what I was thinking, the k24 usually has no problem pushing 400+, one of the most robust engines by Honda I’ve seen, as you said it worries me with the oil but at the same time I also worry about finding a transmission for it since nv4500s are kinda rare where I’m at and expensive

No offense, but I think your asking in the wrong place. This is the general discussions forum instead of the Other Engine Swaps forum where it should be, but I'm not even talking about that. I think you're entering into uncharted territory here. Honda engine swaps aren't something done much (if any?) around here.

I'm not trying to run you off or scare you away, but I have to think that there are better web forums or discussion boards in which to ask for help with this. People better equipped to answer questions you may have.
