Bigger is not always better, to big could hinder flow for horsepower. Check out engine masters on motor trend they to explain things although they do use V8’s but the explanation is the same on any motor
I agree that it's a balance of flow and velocity to match the block and intake manifold but I think Mike is trying to point out that ultimately if you restrict your flow you loose horsepower and if your going for 1000hp you will need the max flow available
The highest output "OEM" build is based on the following: 06-08 K24A2 block K20A2 Head 06-08 TSX cams RSX Type-S cam gear Type-S oil pump Type-S oil pan Hope this helps anyone looking for direct answers like I was.
Solid simple recipe for a built k20/k24... ported PRB head, ferrea 6000 series valves, supertech 95lb springs & retainers with prayoonto stage 4 cams. Stock K24a2 block with ported type s oil pump, inline pro tensioner, drag cartel billet lower timing chain guide, DC lower timing gear with keyway... 3” 4-1 header, Skunk 2 Ultra Race Intake manifold & Ross machine 90mm TB. You will safely touch nearly 300+hp with a stock bottom end! We have seen it done and it will last! 👍🏽
90mm TB seems like overkill. Wouldn't a 80mm give almost the same power with better throttle response? Or does the stage 4 cam want that much more air?
@@stutzman999 the stage 4’s have a nice amount of duration so the 90 would be quite ideal imo. The real downside with the 90 is the daily drivability is a bit rough so an 80mm would definitely be nice for a smoother daily driving experience but the 90mm just takes some getting used to. Currently we’re running a much more aggressive Ultra 3 cam on with stock block/ 90mm TB & it’s quite a fun street car!
I like the fact that you shared the information all the part numbers he didn’t tell us to go look for it and put it right there in front and appreciate the speedy secret about the oils quarter what works and what doesn’t, good job
I'm a newbie to engine building, and I have watched many videos but your technical knowledge and explanation about each component needed in a building a k24 is on another level bro. Excellent content. A great help in my arsenal now.
Wow bro, you are a king for this video. I’ve been hesitant to know what engine I’ve been wanting to swap and you answered all my prayers. This video is a holy grail. Shoutout and kudos to you. You are a blessing to the car community 🙌🏼💯
@@donjonson6407 if you can't search part numbers then i assume this job is way to much for you. Best to find a race shop who offer these services and pay them to acquire and assemble the motor for you.
Not a big fan of Nagasaki nut buckets (v-8 guy here)...but you guys actually make it fun, informational and interesting..might go find myself a hatch to go play with.....I can't believe I just said that. Lol
Wow that's interesting. I was planning on just a simple mod. Maybe to get another 50 horse out of my car at some point I've got a 2013 CRV. And it would be a sleeper It's already put out 185 stock, so very compelling video. especially for people who wan to mod their engine to its maximum potential
My personal tip is when it comes to headers if you’re not going with a compression higher then 12.5:1 then don’t do a big tube 4-1 header. All stock block K’s need a big tube 4-2-1 header preferably like a TRI-Y design header because they flow very well and it keeps carrying the power range up top instead of falling down like 4-1 headers tend to do. Yes 4-1 headers will makes more power but they suffer up top with stock compression K’s and it’s pointless to have a lot of power if you can’t even deliver it right. I’ve come to this realization after seeing the dyno graphs on many many K cars my tuner has messed with and feeling it myself on my personal car when I made the change since I’m on a stock block 24 👍
I agree with you thr the question is how much ho can you get from that build without raising the Cp 12.5:1 or higher because you gonna spend a lot of money.
I know there’s a lot of information here and you don’t want to overwhelm the listeners, but talking about cams would also be good to note, such as the most aggressive oem cams (best bang for the buck is ‘06 tsx cam. And talk about a couple after market cams. Also the 50 degree cam gear/sensor
I saw in another channel that aftermarket cams can cause issues with the chain tensioners. Boosted engines really don't need any cams other than stock to get up to 800hp.
Wonderful, nice to see all the basic casting variants explained in a single video. It's all common knowledge, and it's all been around for a decade, but damned if I never saw it all covered in one place so well. Thanks.
very informative. thanks for providing this information in a very simply way. searching for all this on the internet can be a hassle and kind of confusing. having a video explaining which parts to buy to build a k24 makes it some much easier. cant wait to see you engine finish being built and in your car.
This is a great video brother !! Made everything very clear !! My friend gifted me a k24a4 block for free . My plan is to rebuild the entire block for all motor set up and slap a 4piston head
Damn man this video is so good. I bought an 06 dc5 with stock k20z1 long block and rbc intake manifold and was looking for info on swapping k24 short block but have no knowledge of the k series compatibility. You pretty much answered any question there is good stuff 👍
I fuckin swear, if someone ask one more thing about the k20/k24 Frankenstein build... I will flip out!!! I’ll just send them this link.... this truly is the ultimate guide.
You should have talked about stock cam options for those who don’t want to break tensioners with aftermarket cams. Tsk 06-08 are the best but I’ve seen some interesting mix and match depending on which style of head you are running because the intake only vtec heads have a lot of potential and actually work with a turbo very well without vtec killer
You all need to look at the parts you can pull from a RDX K23 engine, the rods in those are bigger than the tsx and can bolt right into the 24 block (keeping the old pistons) you can take the head and turbo that have turbo on them STOCK, and can bolt not to any other K Series. It also has ports to cool the turbo IN the block. I'm using my old Honda Element K24a4 block and buying a K23 for with 80k on it for only $600 turbo and all. Because no one messes with K23 they are CHEAP. I'll start vlogging my progress soon.
One combo i saw not long ago was a base rsx k20 block with a crv k24a1 head with 05 accord rockers and aftermarket cams made 280whp they were going for cheapest 300hp all motor car
Hey man I have a few question if you have time! I really want to keep my honda around and i'm going to rebuild it one day and can't find the exact answers I need but you've answered most in just one vid!
Btw you have to use the CRV head gasket if running the PRB head (type-S). Use TSX head gasket if using RBC/RBB/RSP cylinder heads, regardless of which k24a block you have
why is this necessary? i bought a k24a2 motor and i plan on putting the block in my type s (k20/k24) so i’d rather save myself from breaking something 😅
I'm actually planning on doing a k20/k24 build with my 8th gen civic si but I'm gonna keep it simple with the k20z3 heads and the k24a2 block but I'm definitely going to port and cut my rbc manifold to fit a k tuned 80mm throttle body
Hey @Diymike I love how you explain things… I wanted to swap my 04 Honda Accord Ex Sedan, and put a k20 engine from a Acura.. and work on the engine from the outside then install it to the accord… the only problem dude is I want to do this to an automatic…. People telling me add a new intake manifold injectors and also new exhaust manifold and exhaust system and so more other things to make more hp… I wanted to gain more hp but I also know I have to get a Hondata or a K tuner … I wanted to ask you what’s the best way to do it with my AUTOMATIC… I don’t want insane hp but a good number
I have 71 240z and it boosted but im on my 14th transmission and I've always wanted to swap a k24 but I'd have to put a ton of money into a good transmission. I really want is like a six-speed sequential.
I got couple of questions Part number for oil jet plug did you keep the balance shaft on the motor or does it get deleted if so any additional parts needed also what injectors will I need do I need to upgrade the pump
I’ve got an 08 civic Si coupe 6 speed and LOVE it! Bought it with CAI and long tube headers. What would be the best bank for the Buck if I want more power?
I have to find the source but I read that the F20C (not F22C) oil pump is better than the K20A2 or Z1 because the engine already has a higher rev limit. What are your thoughts on that?
Dam I enjoyed the video Mike. I learned so much from this video. I’m still stuck on the b’s. Also you didn’t mentioned the transmissions. Where to begin on that?
you can use.... 2002-2005 EP3/RSX 5 speed... RSX TYPE S 6 speed... or 2006-2011 CIVIC SI... the 06-11 civic si is probably best because it comes with factory LSD.
Thank you for this video! I want to go straight K20 motor and transmission swap in my Del sol, could you possibly make a video on what’s needed to do a straight swap including 6 speed?
Hi im looking for information on just basically swapping out a k24z from a 2011 accord special edition its tired and swapping in a tsx k24a id like to find out what all is necessary for the engine and trans to work properly with simple bolt ons
