RSX K24 Swap - K24 vs K20 Dyno Comparison

Excellent video. It proved the exact difference between those engines. Thank you

It would benefit from a 50 degree gear because of the new k20 RBC manifold. Some k24’s even lose power with an RBC compared to the stock manifold without a 50 degree VTC. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@geovanicarrillo4264]

What’s up guys so I was always scared to through on a rbc cause of your comment lol I thought it was gonna be the waste of the 400$ for a rbc I paid 230 lol but anyways I had got dyno tuned with just exhaust header and cai I made 213hp with 168 tq (greddy 2.36) exhaust and a dtr header, I went back to my tuner with a hks 65mm and a skunk 2 header and that rbc with a spacer to still use my stock throttle body, I ended up getting all that retuned and made 227hp with 185tq similar to what this guy made I just made about 10 tq more, so pretty much saying in my case the rbc did a lot for me , I made a bunch of more torque just cause of that , and during the tune we did a run to see how much I was making with the rbc untuned I made 220 right off the back, so you do make a tiny bit of power without tuning it but once you tune it you gain a bit more and a lot of more torque so getting it tuned helps a lot!!

I spent hours trying to search info for a K24 build. Ive found 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 I scoured multiple forums for this info and this has been upheld by a majority consensus. Hope this helps anyone looking for direct answers like I was.

[@jesselee4405]

You can use a A2 or Z1 head. They're the same cast, the Z1 has the better cams, but it's been noted, as you wrote, that the TSX cams in either of those heads produces about an additional 10hp over the A2 cams, maybe 5hp over the Z1 cams.

[@carlosbarrera6348]

@@tuningbynick could you do a video with what parts are needed to make it fit

[@ShredCulture]

The higher angles increase overlap and help with scavenging until very high rpm where the cam angles may want to be retarded to take advantage of the air inertia and the ram air effect. If this was a turbo application I would expect less cam advance in the mid range due to backpressure from the exhaust system. The k24 and k20 share almost the same bore only the k24 has a longer stroke making it undersquare. The k20 may rev higher but the peak torque figure would be less. The k24 may make more torque but at a lower rpm. Thus, both engines can have roughly the same hp but their torque figures can be quite different. If the k24 made its peak torque at the same rpm as the k20, the k24 would make more power mathematically. However the K24 being undersquare, limits the maximum rpm lower than that of the k20. Also, the K24 head is designed to be most efficient and operate at a lower rpm, thus any larger increase in rpm may net a decrease in torque. If you can safely get the k24 to rev like the k20 then fitting a k20 head to the k24 may be beneficial.

[@GuyX2013]

K24 > K20. The K20 is better suited for boost with a higher redline , less compression and make more top end on boost due to a better flowing head however the K24 on boost is better balanced between torque and horsepower if you want more torque.

[@Ninjatuuna]

Aren’t you supposed to swap over type S oil pump & plug an oiling cavity under the windage tray to avoid loss of oil pressure and cavitation at higher rpm?

The dyno reads hp to the wheels so if we’re talking about crank hp that dealers use to advertise their cars, 200 hp from the stock tsx to around 255-260 hp (227 hp to the wheels) is very good for basic bolt ons and a tune. 40-50 hp gain from those small things and a tune is what makes the k series engines great

[@tuningbynick]

I remember hearing that claim long ago - All the K24s ive tuned had the RBC so unfortunately i haven't been able to see how the stock one performs

[@Adscam]

I absolutely don’t understand why tuners don’t provide the “Area under the Power curve” results when doing a like vs like (engines, intake, exhaust system, etc) comparison. If you provide the area number, you are actually providing the work done by the engine over your chosen rpm range, say 4k to 7.5k or whatever rpms you want to play with. It is probably a more scientific quantitative result in a single figure then just looking at peak torque or hp numbers at arbitrary rpms.

[@tuningbynick]

Im not sure if you’re complaining about this video or in general. A dyno graph is the best visual way to represent “area under the curve” I always show the dyno graphs in my videos and in this video i show/compare the graphs between the 2 different engines which visually shows the area under the curve for both engines as a comparison. It really doesn’t get much better than that.

[@Adscam]

@@tuningbynick Thank you Nick for replying. Could you please integrate (Calculus or graft paper) the power vs rpm curve. That would give you the Work done by the engine over its rpm range and a feature other people don’t do. It is an extra step for you. But I think modern dynos/software can do that for you. I do see that you tune very nice flat torque curves. My Main Point is when comparing 2 headers for instance, one is good for low and mid rpm. The other shows lousy low end but a better peak hp. So which is better, obviously the one that allows the engine to make more work. Hence the “Area under the Power Curve”.

[@Adscam]

@@tuningbynick You showed clearly the hp and torque curve vs rpm. Thank you. I am asking you to show the work done over a rpm range.

[@tuningbynick]

Unfortunately what youre asking for is simply not how it works and if it was possible i honestly dont believe youd be able to actually use the information youre asking for effectively. I stand by my original statement that the the actual visual representation of the dyno graph line is the best way to represent the power under the curve. Having lots of data points may sound like a good idea, but in practice i dont think it would actually be useful to anyone unless these were highly scientific controlled dyno tunes where we were individually testing only one part at a time - Then yes, it would be useful to get that specific to evaluate the gains/loses of the individual different parts

Or you can get best of both worlds and do a k20 head and k24 block

[@tuningbynick]

I would love to try that combo - I sold the old engine tho, so i dont have a K20 head anymore

[@djluisangeldjluisangel7173]

[@tuningbynick]

Hunter Johnson -It’s actually that stick on universal stuff. Like this stuff. www.amazon.ca/Original-EZ-Lip-Universal-Spoiler/dp/B009F10S3Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=universal+stick+on+front+lip&qid=1573698720&sr=8-3

[@gearhead3500]

why is a k20a2 worth more then a TSX k24a2?

[@tuningbynick]

GEAR HEAD - My guess is because the K20A2 is getting old now and becoming pretty rare and I believe Honda made a lot more K24A2’s by comparison. So I think it boils down to simply availability

[@gearhead3500]

@@tuningbynick so is it worth getting a k20a2 now will they continue to go up in value?

[@tuningbynick]

GEAR HEAD - Nope. The K24A2 has so much more potential. You’re better off getting one then before the become rare and expensive

[@josiahbutler2254]

the k20a2 is getting worth more because a lot more guys are putting their k20 heads on the k24s now, the k24 is the better engine & its a proven fact they respond better to MODS
