You are 1000000% correct about using a torque plate. I have 16 years of experience machining gearbox housings in the aerospace industry. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!
100% agree. I have to say i can watch ANY of his video presentations with FULL attention. Something i havent been able to do with many other subjects-it also has a lot to do with my huge interest and fascination with motors and how things work.
I normally can't stand filler words, but the amount of info and wisdom this guy packs into non-filler words still balances out way above average. Its almost too much, I keep getting the urge to take notes.
I could spend the rest of my life asking you engine questions. As someone who enjoys understanding engineering and WHY things work or fail, learned so much in a short time. You're top notch!
6 speeds transmission building and I like that all around type engines are available for normal drives also . I have a 2008 si and it was a 1 owner never smoked in and no wrecks currently restoring and going through what need repairs but a fast take off
Love that car. I have an 08 350z and i bought it from dealership he bought it originally due to him needing a truck for family..one owner, all stock, never smoked in, low mileage, 6mt enthusiast pkg. my friend had the 08 si but he doesnt take care of anything he owns. I am the complete opposite
Mr. Mike , you make me want to be a machinist. I honestly get just as excited about all of this the same as you! Thank you for the transparency and knowledge. Cool shit 🤙🏼
Would love if you guys did project /customer car building videos! Chronicling developing a kit for sale to put one of these in the back of a 996 track toy would be pretty epic!
Love the k series and considering getting a type r just because of your videos. I’d really like more videos on different engines, for Honda I’d really like to see an h series or b series video. I’d also love to see some bmw motors! M20, s52,s54 are all great motors with a lot of aftermarket support that’s hard to weed through or assemble into anything competitive without digging into 10-15 year old forums
Crazy thing i remember reading a story about a older honda engine pre k24 blow up someone did achieve a 10k rpm block. I think it was probably 18 years ago a lot went into making it turn 10k.
Holy shit- this guy is good at explaining advanced theory in a easy to understand manner- doesn’t need to stroke his own ego with a you wouldn’t understand “position
Great, barely into my k24/20 build and now I need an upgrade. 😜Great video Mike, you've convinced me to try again with obtaining the DC K20 head but I may need your help in getting it. 😊
Outstanding & Knowledgeable Man Representing The Auto World. Honda & Subaru Are Excellent. However My Choice Is The Nissan GTR’s I’m Partial To The 350 Z & 370 Z As Well. Superior Performance That Rivals Many V-6 & V-8 Combos. Keep It Coming. Great Coverage.
I think a lot of viewers would be interested in a Honda D or B series video, I know they’re old, and from what I’ve seen most of your content is built from customer vehicles. But I believe both engines are still relevant in today’s Honda society. So I don’t think I’m alone in my interest on this topic. It would be interesting to see the perspective of a master(s) in either boosted or N/A applications of either of these engines especially since many are experimental or home built.
Absolutely love these video Mike! Do you think we can get some “after” videos … how much hp did it make at the wheels or hub? Maybe talk us thru power curves Also fuels and what you prefer for road racing.
I don't agree, and neither do the engineers at the top piston makers. The pin weight is way less and puts way less inertial stress on the rod compared to the piston on the upstroke and the cylinder pressure on the powerstroke. The load on the upstroke is also somewhat cushioned by the compression of the fuel air mix and the exhaust pressure. Thin pins are early 90's thinking and they flex and grab and spin the bushing out of the small end of the rod. The flex also stresses the pin boss of the piston. I have seen this happen many times and it also shows on FEA of the piston. It is the reason why the once popular, lightweight, thin, short and taper wall pins are no longer in fashion. Me, Motorsports Engineer.
From what i read, Dodson cryo-treats their transmission components. And their components are used to upgrade Audi R8 and Nissan GTR transmissions to handle 2000+ hp.
I'm guessing those anti detonation grooves also assist in heat dissipation by increasing the surface area between the crown and the first compression ring groove; somewhat like the base of a "turbopot"; can't wait to hear this engine when it's delivered. Those 62mm ITBs are going to add a lovely howl!
I love how even Mike thinks the customer is being demanding with this build request😂 I just wanna turn my k24a8 into a 350hp powerhouse. 8k on the limiter minimal 8.5 max. If the current 160hp setup already makes me smile I'd be in positive laughter after another 190 😂
That is pretty demanding considering the G load potential of the chassis this is going in and its going to have to run for entire track sessions on 91 octane gas. This is way more demanding than blast around town street engines or drag racing.
We love Mike
We really do
🐐
Who is Mike?
@@appliedmechanical8790Mike hawk
Always explaining everything in a way that’s easily digestible
He can teach anything and we all stop and listen
You are 1000000% correct about using a torque plate. I have 16 years of experience machining gearbox housings in the aerospace industry. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!
Bro you ever worked with maraging steel? Or Amy of the new fancy magnesium alloys yet?
Mike is like grandad telling stories for kids. Love his attitude, long live grandad ))
💪🏾💗🏎⚙️🔧👑
This is the greatest car channel on TH-cam. Thanks for these technical insight videos. You’re awesome.
I second that!
Facts
Mike's a god 😁
100%
Mike never stops smiling (LITERALLY) , he holds a smile for the entire video 😂
This gentleman is the Bob Ross of motor builds. 🎨
I had that same thought
Mike's knowledge and experience is extremely impressive, gotta be one of the best engine builders in the world.
100% agree. I have to say i can watch ANY of his video presentations with FULL attention. Something i havent been able to do with many other subjects-it also has a lot to do with my huge interest and fascination with motors and how things work.
In the world on TH-cam*
Love your talks. I’m 73 YO and I have built and raced cars and bikes my whole life and I still learn new things from your talks always!😱🙏🏼😁😎🌈🧢
This man always, always has a smile on his face. Like he's at his happiest sharing his knowledge to those who are seeking to be better.
I normally can't stand filler words, but the amount of info and wisdom this guy packs into non-filler words still balances out way above average. Its almost too much, I keep getting the urge to take notes.
The more I watch Mike talk, the more I really appreciate his time that he takes explaining these sorts of things
👍👍 he knows his shit!
He had me at "stress corrosion cracking of rod bolts". That's engineering-stuff right there!
Gotta know your Table 1 and 2 materials!
I was waiting for "hydrogen embrittlement" when he was describing the ARP L19s.
How to turn your $500 engine into a $25,000 engine. Love you guys
Exactly, only reason to use Honda is because of price, and then you tak e this away with this mods LOL!!!
@@sepupr211k shitbox with 25k engine, 5k transmission, and 10k in other mods 😂
Sounds like a good time Benjamin
Not a Honda guy( DSM) but this popped up on my suggestions. This guy knows his stuff and is a pleasure to listen to! Subscribed
No matter what platform what he speaks about works on all motors.
Mikes story telling style is super laid back cool. He’s like Grampa VTEC.
GTEC!
I could spend the rest of my life asking you engine questions. As someone who enjoys understanding engineering and WHY things work or fail, learned so much in a short time. You're top notch!
I never knew i wanted such an extensive explanation pertaining to piston selection.
But i am here for it.
I tried to watch this while working on one of my wiring diagrams for work. Nah, not possible! What a great vid!
I can watch his videos 10 times and never get bored
100% agree
Cannot wait to see this combo running in your customers car... Hope you guys share that with us!
That was a cool explanation of how the anti-detonation groves on the pistons work. I've always wondered what they were for.
This is the kind of guy that makes you excited about how dumb you feel because he’s so chill in learning you somethin
This is like story time for car people, keep creating these engine videos
I was thinking the exact same thing…ive never been more attentive in any other youtube channel explanations
All motor Honda, I've always felt that's the proper build for these! And Mike, thank you thank you thank you! This is above and beyond!
“Don’t like it, build your own engine.” HELL YEAH MIKE GET EM
What I did to my transmission put jeep parts in a pt cruiser build it flys.. plus the motor is built around bolts wisecos eagle rods balanced and LSD
That’s his nice way of saying if u don’t like it go f* off
Do you ever show the actual build of the engines? Would love to see this one being built.
Yeah look up “how to build a k series engine” and 5,000 plus videos will show up for you.
@@trackshun but then you don't get the awesome insight from Mike along the way
Very nice! Would love to see the results of this one 👍

Literally no one hates on this guy just stop.
@@James-po2sv did you even watch the video, 26:50
Give the people what they want! More Mike!!!
I would trust this man’s decision on every one of my life’s learning lessons.
These videos will soon have millions of views. Mark my words. Well deserved!
Mr. Mike , you make me want to be a machinist. I honestly get just as excited about all of this the same as you! Thank you for the transparency and knowledge. Cool shit 🤙🏼
Believe me machine shops are a torture chamber
Great video as always Mike! Can’t wait to see how this motor performs.

As a honda guy all my life, i love watching you describe how bad ass a motor you build. ❤ it.
Mike Kojima is the man. Always smiling and so damned knowledgeable. Mike. You the man!!!!
This man is a national treasure!
I love listening to Mike. I've set this channel on mix a few times while at work as of it was a podcast or e-book type thing.
What an absolute legend. I would absoloutley love to have a conversation with him one day and shake his hand.
Instant like before even letting the video play! This dude is amazing.
Crazy thing i remember reading a story about a older honda engine pre k24 blow up someone did achieve a 10k rpm block. I think it was probably 18 years ago a lot went into making it turn 10k.
I could go to sleep listening to Mike's voice...he should do audiobooks.
I really like how you explain everything. very engaging and every minute is filled with wonderful info. love it.
Thank you MotoiQ, thank you Mike for sharing you're knowledge and experience. Listening to Mike explaining these engine builds is therapeutic!
Thats probably one of the best and most accurate ways to put it!
I love all of these videos ❤ thank you for making them!!
very well spoken guy, very knowledgeable too! need more people like this guy around
YES! Been waiting for this. Let's go BABY! HONDA POWER!!
This is one of the greatest videos ever made.
I think your videos are over the top, great and informative.
I find them very interesting. Thank you.
That dry sump looks awesome. I'd been wondering why no one had made a dry sump system that ran off of the factory oil pump drive.
You are the best on TH-cam!
Love these technical videos so much from the legend himself…
Is there a video with the engine built and running.....at full tilt? 😊
Holy shit- this guy is good at explaining advanced theory in a easy to understand manner- doesn’t need to stroke his own ego with a you wouldn’t understand “position
Thank you 🙏 Mike !!! Honda The power of dreams !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
Great, barely into my k24/20 build and now I need an upgrade. 😜Great video Mike, you've convinced me to try again with obtaining the DC K20 head but I may need your help in getting it. 😊
Dude is a wealth of knowledge
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! About to watch this video and cant wait to learn something new each time!!
What a solid package. Curious what the total cost OTD is for this engine package.
This was the video I was waiting for, Thanks.
Great in depth build.

He’s a well experienced chill tuner! #badass
Somebody please preserve this genius
8:41 only rods I use is eagle there awesome..plus arp bolts in the motor is a serious deal
Really interested to follow this customers build progress to fruition:)
Here when the car is done th-cam.com/channels/3njwk2Vv6ACsixGLuJisYg.html
This was awesome, like always brotha....I always learn a lot watching your videos brotha 🙏
This video was very informative.
Great vid, best of luck! Mike is me in the VC meeting when they just want to know the IPO timeline.
So much to learn!
Mike I love the content
Now that we have K-series maybe a B-series. It is kind of the inferior engine but it would be cool to see what can be done with 'old-school' engines.
nah we need a more useless inferior paper weight H series lolol
B18 is the currently the fastest Honda engine in the world (6 seconds on H shifter)
A great presentation Mike, as always, your assessment is spot on!
Absolutely love these video Mike! Do you think we can get some “after” videos … how much hp did it make at the wheels or hub? Maybe talk us thru power curves
Also fuels and what you prefer for road racing.
The after videos will be on this channel th-cam.com/channels/3njwk2Vv6ACsixGLuJisYg.html
@@motoiqI subbed instantly. You rock.
"91 octane California pump gas, which is horrible"
As a Californian, I agree. And it's not just the fuel that's horrible here. Nice weather though.
good video, comprehensive, very detailed
So much knowledge i love it
Boy I'd love to see a follow up video for this, after it's built, where we get to see it put through its paces!
4:35 the piston hanging around tdc longer, both ways.
Get the timing on the tune correct.
Wow! I just love the info you spitting like facts
14:16 8:51 compression on my srt4 gt cruiser so i can add lots of needed power plus a bigger oil cooler too away from the radiator
What if a k20 block was used with k20 crank/rods but k24 pistons so you keep the stroke down but have the bigger bore ? Is this possible
No
@ why not
wrong compression height
Awesome video!
This is the engine builder you want
*_I learned more by watching this video than I watch my teacher teach in math class…_*
A thicker heavier pin will try to blow out the small bore of the rod on the upward stroke.

No they don't do that, they basically prevent smearing of the first ring land due to heat and protect the #1 ring somewhat.
Oh I HAD to hop on this
