The Secret to a High Revving K-Series Engine

[@LeeMK2]

you are the only one who put up a parts list and honestly trying to share/teach/inspire others. Other youtubers won't do this, they just put up contents to showoff their build.

I love that you included the spreadsheet.

With ktuned I believe you can do a custom tune

[@flyboy8282]

@@pruvengsx1 hondata doesn't even care about the 8th gen 2.4 Honda accords. Ktuned is the only place where you can tune your 2.4 k24z3 Accord but this tune is still limited meaning they don't have a tune for eternals or turbos or superchargers for the k24z3 Accord motor. fuck those other people telling you to get a different chassis. Just wait our time will come when we the 8th gen Accord community will be able to fly like the rest of them.

[@copperkeyracing6167]

@@flyboy8282 Heavy chassis and undersupported. Heck a TSX is lighter and smaller, do u see many doing extreme builds on those? No. There is even a Hondata system for a TSX, but not Accord. 300whp on anything is still 300whp, even if its slow. 4cyl 300whp is impressive. Just think, one day u can afford to buy a cheap EG and put the 300whp swap in it. OR, go expensive and buy a Lotus Elise and put the 300whp swap in it. Once u have the motor, and running, u can always buy something else to put the motor in... That's where it matters. You did it once, do it again, or just swap it over.

[@kennethpowers8995]

Nice build, these K series are truly amazing engines. My all motor build runs an A2 block @ 89×99 ~13:1, 4P 156 head and I use E85R now with great results. I'm at a DA of under 300ft so NA combos run great and this is no exception. 336whp and over 200wtq on very conservative tuning. As if this isnt impressive enough my old boosted setup made 600+ with the same head and a stock k20a2 bottom end/Gen 2 6262 from PTE. Love the K series platform!

[@ieatass6463]

Nobodys made 600+hp on a stock bottom end. Wha load of horse shit. Brent from pfi speed is rolling on the ground quite literally, laughing his ass off.

[@joeymcquilkin3670]

336whp all motor with conservative tuning… 🧐 That’s literally pushing the overall limits of what these motors can produce, also I’ve NEVER heard of one producing even close to that without being ‘stroked’. Even with a small bore I don’t think your making that. I dunno broooo 🤥

[@kennethpowers8995]

@@joeymcquilkin3670 lmao ok bud. We make 440+ at the tire Na with our stroker builds. And if you notice, the motor I was speaking on above is well overbore and is close to 2.55 liters of displacement when it made that power and the head flows insane air. The 156 head program from 4P is top notch, it gets no better. That engine also had insane cam profiles and very high compression. You obviously don’t know anything about the all motor K game so why comment? Ive made over 300whp with stock bottom end K24A2’s just a good head package. FOH

[@kennethpowers8995]

@@premiumc2282 the accord K24z3 in your car isn’t the exact same as the JDM K24A or USDM K24a2 which are a bit more performance oriented. The best thing I can recommend for your car is a good race header like the Skunk2 for the 08-14 TSX/Accord and then KTuner. That alone will pick up a solid 25-30whp over stock if you’re ok with running premium pump gas in the vehicle. If you finish the bolt ons with a good intake and the aforementioned parts you’re going to be nearing the 200whp mark. If you are talking about making much more power than that you really have to swap On a K20 head and start getting into cam work and more in depth things like that. Or ofcourse forced induction is always an option; these motors love nitrous.

I will most def be buying the same stuff you are getting for your build. I am doing the same as well with my K24 engine. Have an 05 accord sedan K24A4. Ive been wanting more power just all motor and i will be doing the same build. My car is an automatic but i am doing a conversion to manuel. The build will take time but it’ll be worth the wait once everything is all set and done. Great info on the parts i would need to achieve this goal. Mine wont be naturally aspirated, i would want to shoot for a close to 400whp, will be upgrading ecu as well with hondata and going E85 and still being able to use pump gas as well.

[@milanmastracci]

I am very jealous you have access to E85. If I did, I could push the engine more and produce more power. But a boosted K24 sounds fun to me!!

[@XxNYCKIDxX]

Yes most def, in the process of it all if i decide to boost it then it wont be a crazy number. I would boost it to the point where it would be reliable and fuel efficient. My next project build that i am looking forward on doing is boosting a EG hatch which would be track and street driven👍🏻

[@milanmastracci]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@afewgoodnoobs7934]

IF YOU'RE BUILDING A STREET SPEC! The titanium retainers are actually not recommended to be used in daily drivers, due to the difference in hardness between the spring and retainer it causes pitting and premature wear and tear which causes them to fail or need replacing sooner than the OEM steel ones. They are designed for higher revving/ higher compression race motors which are opened up regularly for maintenance and condition inspections. Its best to use the OEM steel retainers in your daily street spec for a longer life with a lot less maintenance.

[@DirtyPSI_Evo]

Hey, not sure if you did this off camera or not but there is a small oil drain that needs to be blocked off when you switch over to a type s oil pump on a k24 block. Almost lost my first k series engine due to low oil pressure because I didn't do it.

[@milanmastracci]

This is my first k24 build, so I’m not going all out like you, but I’ll save that for my dream 250hp-300hp k series frank build when I have higher funds. Can’t agree more with the reinforcement rods, stiffer springs/retainers, and proper pump for 8k + rpm. I’ll be revving mine up to 8k max, maybe 7800rpm because I’m running stock pump, stock internals, except 50 degree vtc. Shooting for 225-230hp, 180tq... Intake, header, vtc, hondata, tune 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
