You didnt cover the k24a2 which is essentially the stroked version of the k20a2. Even though the head dont flow as good as the PRB, its still not that bad and will whoop some ass in a civic or integra. Oil pump conversion that deletes the balance shafts is mandatory. You can also make the TSX head flow better than a stock PRB and more by having it ported.

[@averyalexander2303]

To me, the K24A2 is the best value of the K series since you can easily get them at junkyards for a few hundred dollars if you are patient. The low end torque is great for daily driving too, it's nice to be able to effortlessly accelerate and climb hills at low RPM without downshifting. Balance shaft delete isn't at all mandatory unless you are revving way higher than the stock redline, but it will free up a few horsepower and improve fuel efficiency a little at the expense of possibly vibrating more. But for what it's worth, mine runs very smooth without balance shafts.

Great video man! There is some information that's a bit off, you said the k24s head doesn't flow as good as the k20. That's not true, the K24a2 in-example, flows just as well as its k20 brothers. And the k24 can absolutely handle upwards of 500-700hp on the stock block. It can also rev 8,200-8500 rpms reliably with some parts swapped out. The k20 and k24 are equally stout, and can still rev upwards of 9000rpms, (even more with monster builds). KZbin has examples of people doing this in the states for over 10+ years, reliably in some situations, which is nuts. The k24 torque however, stomps the k20 when rev'd out high too. (example k24a2 built, with cams, pistons, rods, bearings, arp support, gnarly bolt-ons) can reach upwards of 280WHP on 91 gas, and over 300+whp on e85 flex fuels. with way over 220wtq. I specifically was a k20 fan until I dug deep for the past few years, and picked up a k24a2 to experience it myself. In my opinion, it's Hondas secret detuned k24 Type R. Cheers mate!

[@ebrahimebs]

I've had a k24 in my type r and a k20.. I've even put the k20 type r head on a k24. It doesn't rev as clean and fast as a k20

[@Roobsrandomz]

​@@ebrahimebs What does revving "clean" even mean, sir? Both literally have similar revving and flow characteristics. This is just facts. K24 out stomps a K20 for the displacement purely, and adding force induction on as well, achieves similar stoutness and likely HIGHER power/torque over a k20. They'll typically last the same duration of life with same reliability. And adding the right parts to the k24 will yield 9k REVs if you wanted with power all the way to redline. This is the future of learning engineered parts and modifying them with time. You see results and learn that there are always newer better ideas/platforms out there taking lead in what you thought was the best, sort of speak.

[@Roobsrandomz]

ALSO the sounds and frequencies that a k20 and k24 make are wayy different. People compare these two engine engineered sounds and compare it to "SOUNDING" clean or better then the other when revved out. BOTH are healthy designs for HIGH REV's, and just SOUND different because of mass and design. The K24 is Hondas BIGGEST 4cyl. It's HUGE if you check out specs on paper and physically. K24 has its own tone, and so does the K20.

I still like rebuilding B's more, but K's are built better, specifically for boost applications. Many more layers of bracing allow it to stay together at insage boost levels, although the b-series rev's better thanks to it's shorter stroke. Us B-series fans slept on it for a few reasons: 1. swaps were hard, the engine spun the opposite direction as the b, and you needed a transmission and axle swap too. 2. When the k-series debuted, they also lost double wishbone suspension. We ignored these cars, spevifically the ep3 with its abysmal handling. 3. Complete swap kits did not exist for quite a while. They are still more expensive than the engine itself. 4. The H22 is nearly as good, and also spins the "wrong way" like our b and d-series. It also can be adapted cheaply with an existing b or d series trans and axles. You only need a couple mounts and some grinding on the block webbing.

0:31 Look mom it's me on the t.v 👋

[@alp5991]

What a great review, thank you young man.

[@aOTritoN]

Just bought a k24a accord (2004) with 566k miles, bought it for $200 runs and drives about to put a new solenoid on bc it has the p2646 aswell as bad 25-3k rpm studder. Excited to maintain this car hopefully to 1M

Looking out of my window now at my 2004 Civic Type R...I have to agree 😁

[@Serenezhu1995]

I do love the appearance of Type R FD2, lucky to have it for 10 years.

[@2HellWUtube]

I had my EP3 TypeR Civic from 2005 until 2007. Its K20 drank oil like MAD. I guess when the engine revs at 8000 rpm, it burns more than you might think.

I'd like to see you do a vid on snowmobile engines. Bombardier makes some pretty sweet power plants. So do Arctic cat, Polaris, and Yamaha.

[@pavelmachacek2902]

great to see dudes from Czech driving on B roads in the last clip :)

[@tomwillis3396]

Really enjoy listening to this 👍 Would love to see one video like this on a common enthusiasts engine like Renault's F4R used Clio 182 , Megan RS , Renault Forumla 3 and the Pragga race cars

[@VisioRacer]

One day perhaps, thank you!

[@DeezVideoPictures]

I’ve had 5 kseries cars. Never had a problem with this engine. Solid!!

[@jonathanrodriguez-dq5iq]

the k series and f20 and f22 are the best engines ever made by honda hands down

[@iiAzT3Cii]

The amount of v8 feelings my lil accord 2.0 has hurt is amazing.

[@brendanwiggin3327]

I used to be able to afford one of these back in 2015, but the popularity that has become of the K series had changed a lot in that time.

[@thedefenestrator2994]

This video is exactly as long as my commute home. 👌🏼

[@williammullineaux9034]

The k20 engine normal aspirated with a few bolt on and a map is great fun easy going power. but k20 is a completely different beast when boosted never gets boring just a bit of a handful to drive in a ep3!

[@apIthletIcc]

My K24 in the Accord is creeping up near 330k miles and still strong as shit.

[@Kozyboy710]

Thanks for the informative video bro! I have a stock base rsx and a 2nd gen crv was gonna start moding the rsx but looks like the engine is really worth it huh? Since it’s more of an ecom car what do any of you guys thing?

[@bombardier6033]

My friend's Accord CL7 (K20Z2) ran without oil for a month and it's completely fine.

[@bbrf033]

6:33. Best looking Civic I have ever seen

[@Joshuahowell-j1g]

Fully built k20/24 here. NA! SUCH A AWESOME ENGINE

[@bubajack7461]

I got an 05 rsx that's about to roll over to 310,000km and the only serious issues I had were bad vibrations from torn engine mounts lol

[@Ace20001216]

Would love to hear more about the new k20c

[@thatautogarage3644]

There's a tuning shop where I live in Tulsa Oklahoma called Humble Performance, they regularly push stock K20's to 600+ WHP and running 9's in the 1/4 mile tracks. They have customers stating they beat their cars hard and last several years at that 600+ power level.

[@izzy031096]

They’re bloody awesome aye. There’s a shop called MRP in my country (NZ) that does the same (600hp+) builds on 4AGE’s. Literally 1.6 turbo motors from the 90’s that make in excess of 500hp reliably.

[@thatautogarage3644]

@@izzy031096 Damn, that's really incredible!

[@shanetyler9391]

Pretty impressive stuff iam more of a nissan guy and these little Honda 4 cylinder engines are pretty amazing! Love my SR20DET :) but the S2K was a really awesome car would have one maybe some day :)

[@BenDeSwert666]

If you want to see the full potential of these Honda K2x units, go check out the BoostedBoiz channel. They hold some record holding fast drag cars, powered by boosted K20 and K24 engines. These things are absolute beasts.

[@iCanBeDaniel]

This is an amazing video. Thanks for making this!

[@khimsophacarfixing]

That is a good knowledge about Honda engine!

[@the_JDM_fanatic]

Does anyone know anything about the valves in the head? What material they are made from, is it worth changing the valves ? Stock size for stock size

[@MrBillFold]

Excellent video man, very nicely done!
