Solid video. The only other thing I would have liked to see covered would be the strength and reliability for internal components. When you need to upgrade pistons, rods, head studs, etc.
this has to be one of the most helpful videos. Literally ran out and disabled the clutch sensor that you mentioned by jumping the connector with a wire. Now starts up with out having the clutch in good looking out.
To add a bit to 2nd gear failing, when using And upgraded clutch you may want to change your clutch slave cylinder because the factory one has baffles in it to restrict flow and with a heavier clutch springs your shift will be much smoother if you use a K tuned or like aftermarket slave cylinder , I believe this is the major contributing factor to losing second gear
Jeff! GREAT information! Straight to the point, no bullshit, all opinions backed up by experience and simple fact. Couldn't ask for anything better, you're a gem!
Hey Jeff were you at Cars and Coffee today in Orlando?? Could’ve sworn it was you, I was in my AP2 Suzuka Blue S2K when I went to drive off I saw a guy looked just like you. Today is August 14th 2022 just in case you don’t see this soon.
This is seriously like the most informative and well versed video I've seen on Honda tuning and possible mistakes to look out for, I will deff be referring to this channel for any future projects 🙌👌🔥
In the Fuel System Part you said to route the fuel coming from the feed line to the fuel rail then out the return line to the regulator then return back to the tank, but most guys do it this way - feed to 3 port FPR then to the rail, other end of fuel rail plugged, then route the return from the bottom port of the FPR to the return line, so my question is, is there an advantage to putting the FPR after the rail vs placing the FPR before the rail? BTW this is for FI application therfore will be running large injectors. Thanks
i heard a ultra light fly wheel in a k20/k24 build isn't a good idea due to how fast the motor revs up and its recommended to stay above 10lbs for the fly wheel is that true? also how reliable is it to have drag cartel 2.2 cams in a 8th gen with upgraded in line TCT?
great video...another tip on cams is that if your stock compression, than too big of a cam will make you loose power. pick cams that are suitable for your setup. bigger isn't always better.. awesome video man
Thanks for the advice.. Years of experience.... Going to save me a lot of time.. I can tell you know your $hi+ ... Have a Z4 and will now swap out the Oil Pump and TPS. .. already have headers and 71 TB.. with the RSP intake with TB adapter welded on.. I cut the old TB mating face off the RSP manifold -( fly by wire TB ) .. and just welded the adapter directly to the manifold... ( professionally Alloy welded that is )... . and then ported it to 71mm .. and add an Idle Air port ( RSP does have one ).. ...drilled and ported it...... HOPE IT WORKS.. doing a A to K swap.. Mini A series.. to Honda K series.. :)
A Person what tuner do you use that he did the flash for? I’m new to actually doing power and everything. Had to do a LOT of work to fix the previous owners mistakes and am finally looking into tunes.
When you say go tsx cams. Do you mean swap out the exhaust cam and keep the type s intake cam or swap out both cams? Thx again for this video. You’re the man man!
MrTrill409 i agree its a great reliable engine that has tons of potential that is overlooked by everyone so there's no point talking about the j series. There's less than a handful of aftermarket parts. Hi conp pistons. Port heads tune ,cai, exhaust, that bolts to a dainty trans. And 07 saturn vue borrowed the 3.5 so its forever uncool
If your gonna bolt up a k24 tsx bottom end , with a k20 head & k24 tsx cam & gain 40-50 horsepower & torque & be around 240-250 hp like mentioned in the beginning . Wouldn’t that setup basically be like a regular k24a2 with bolt ons?? Would it be easier just to get a k24a2 & do bolt ons ??
Evan, do you recommend head porting on the k series? how much does porting effect reliability? Is it more beneficial on a turbo setup over a NA setup? maybe that could be your next video! lol thanks
Steven Sayalath porting is most useful on boosted motors because you have a larger volume while keeping the proper intake velocity. For n/a it’s better to polish with minimal porting
Great video... lots of good info, would love to see some photos or drawings of some of the stuff to give a good visual representation of what your talking about. For those who might not know what everything that your talking about is. Good job tho... Subscribed!
I see you mention the 06+ TSX cams... I'm about to slap together my 12.5:1 K24 with 09 TSX cams and its matching VTC gear. From what I hear, it's a 50 degree VTC cam gear and only works with the K24Z3/K24Z7 intake cam length (different offset on gear too). Anyway, any experience with that setup? I'm hoping I'll be okay.
Excellent video u know excatly wat ur talking about! I have or experienceing half of the problems with wat u've said in my k24 dc5/rsx! What throttle body size upgrade u recomend with rbc, 5zigen exhaust catless setup? Thinking of k tuned 72, 80 or 90mm.
sounds like the 06tsx k24a is the best base to start on. already have the biggest cam of the bunch. just need VTC to 50 degrees and a RBC. where as other setup upgrades to tsx parts?
Some really good info you shared! Can anyone direct me to DIY on removing the clutch pedal safety switch? Would it be as easy as just threading it out of the pedal assembly and zip-tie it under the dash, then thread a bolt into the assembly to act as a depressed clutch pedal stop?
With the k series tct problem, do you only have the problem when you put cams in what about valve and spring thanks for your help keep up the epic vids
Tuning isnt cheap but fully building a b series can be just as expensive. Here in cali you can get a k24 jdm engine for $650 and making 240whp with a header and intake manifold with 200ft lbs of torque I'd take that any day. After you fully build a b20vtec your lucky to make 230whp and way less torque and that engine is basically maxed out. Just trying to find a b16 head in good condition for less than $500 is not easy. In my opinion B series is overrated and overpriced.
thanks for excellent video. shared with a friend who just got k24 turbo done. is d16 sensitive to log manifold? i have d16 turbo which is bogged down at high rpms.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and insight! This was amazingly informative. Any recommendation on which twin discs you've managed to find sucess with?
So i have a 2006 k20z1 with skunk2 stage 2 tuner series cams, wiseco 11:7:1 pistons, manley h beam rods, acl rod and main bearings, supertech valve guides for exhaust, cai Intake, cometic head gasket, walbro 255 fuel pump, rbc port matched and polished, 550cc gram injectors, ktuned fuel pressure regulator, k tuned 72mm tb, 2.5 in exhaust, megan racing headers, stage 2 competition clutch, 8lb ultra lightweight flywheel and kpro. i think thats it but yeah whats like a ballpark number you think i might gain from this setup all motor tuned on 93?

Hey man thanks for the video! Just wondering if you could do a video on nitrous set ups for the k series? From the research that i have done it seems that a direct port dry shot is best for k series. Of course you would have to have the basic bolt ons, kpro or any other ems, upgraded injectors and fuel pump. Also it seems that with the kpro you have more control of the nitrous. I have only read about nitrous set ups, but i would really appreciate your opinion considering all of your experience and knowledge! I am stuck between getting a supercharger or nitrous set up. If you could do a video on k series nitrous set ups including the pros and cons that would be great! Thanks again for the content!
Can you tell me more about pistons, and rod combinations? Which do you prefer? considering K series on my MR2 race car. Versus a J series swap. Although I am really interested in the V6 and turbo charging. -KNIGHT RIDER
Ok, just so we are clear, I can get OEM TSX cams with 50 degree vtc AND rbc manifold (with tsx engine block), for my 06 RSX type s after all my bolt ons?? If this is considered the best NA, I’m throwing my money at it

I turbo a K24 for a 13 civic si, however since the installation it has been smoking, and because the larger injectors, got dashlight for fuel bank. Could it be possible to change the smoking issue? any sugestions
After watching this it sounds like there is an aftermarket opportunity for chain tensioners to hold up to cam profiles with larger profiles than OEM cams.
I’m running forced induction in my K20a and planning to forge it and run the power in the low 500’s. Is there any need to change the valves and valve springs? And is it better to put k20a2 cams in? Thanks
How about skunk2 camshaft tuner stage 2 paired with cam gears pro (intake and exhaust), alpha valve spring kit, valve base kit, skunk2 chain tentioner, k20 oil pump for a K24A2 engine. How can one run it without issues, daily street driven. My OEM pinned at VTC actuator 45 degrees has failed twice within 2 years. Also about using HONDATA to tune the car, any issues or advice I need to look for.
Hey guys, we are doing a turbocharged K24A2 swap in my Pontiac Fiero over on my channel. Spread the K love. :) I am trying to decide between Kpro and AEM. Whats your opinion?
Hey , i know this is not a question about k-series, but as you seem very knowledgable about honda tuning, i have question for you! I just bought my first honda! A 05 em2 civic coupe, with the d17a9 vtec-e engine, stock 125 hp.. I would like to go for a safe 160 170 hp. What would you recommend my to go with first? I was thinking about an CAI, headers, cat replacement, and a catback system,and a tune for starters. Together with a stage 1 sachs clutch and lighter flywheel. Then for tuning. Can i just tune my original ecu to run well with the new parts, or do you need another ecu to do that? Lots of thanks for the learning vids!!
I have a 02 Honda civic em2 as well with the d17a2. From what I've researched they're not worth doing anything with. Maybe I'm wrong and someone can give you better advice, but I think you'd be better off saving for a k swap
@@sentree9857 late reply here, i know the the d-series sucks for tuning, theybare the least tunable engines honda made, but all has been taken care of now, my em2 now has a fully rebuild k20a2 , from a edm ep3 type r, with an invidia 2.5" catback, srs catdelete, rbc intakemanifold and eventuri cold air intake. It has 216 whp :) and a damn blast 2 drive
Blows my mind that your channel isn't bigger than it is! I have got so much great information from your videos! Just wild!
His courses are just as intuitive !!
Dope ass way to learn how to tune. He just speaks knowledge

B series N/A next? Good video, wish other tuners would make videos like this

How can one run it without issues, daily street driven. My OEM pinned at VTC actuator 45 degrees has failed twice within 2 years. Also about using HONDATA to tune the car, any issues or advice I need to look for.
TPS is part of the complete throttle body unit on 8th si I have to buy hole new deal correct?i was gonna do the j35 swap anyway is that good
If your on full bolt should you get a fuel return line? Any pros or cons?
@evans tuning or anyone What swap would you recommend for a 2013 Honda Fit? The more details the better
Hey guys, we are doing a turbocharged K24A2 swap in my Pontiac Fiero over on my channel. Spread the K love. :) I am trying to decide between Kpro and AEM. Whats your opinion?
Such a gifted teacher thanks👍🏻 it’s like tell me more....
Hey , i know this is not a question about k-series, but as you seem very knowledgable about honda tuning, i have question for you!
I just bought my first honda! A 05 em2 civic coupe, with the d17a9 vtec-e engine, stock 125 hp..
I would like to go for a safe 160 170 hp.
What would you recommend my to go with first?
I was thinking about an CAI, headers, cat replacement, and a catback system,and a tune for starters. Together with a stage 1 sachs clutch and lighter flywheel.
Then for tuning. Can i just tune my original ecu to run well with the new parts, or do you need another ecu to do that?
Lots of thanks for the learning vids!!
I have a 02 Honda civic em2 as well with the d17a2. From what I've researched they're not worth doing anything with. Maybe I'm wrong and someone can give you better advice, but I think you'd be better off saving for a k swap
@@sentree9857 late reply here, i know the the d-series sucks for tuning, theybare the least tunable engines honda made, but all has been taken care of now, my em2 now has a fully rebuild k20a2 , from a edm ep3 type r, with an invidia 2.5" catback, srs catdelete, rbc intakemanifold and eventuri cold air intake.
It has 216 whp :) and a damn blast 2 drive
Thanks for the info, very helpful and much appreciated.
If I get a k20a2 head, do I need the rocker Assembly also? To use the 06 tsx cams or will the k24a2 rocker Assembly bolt up fine?
so i have nippon pistons from fd2 supertech valves and dc 3.2 cams, my engine will fail soon because this cams?
She’s saying it makes the timing chain tensioner unreliable
