Greetings,

I will get right to the point. Accord k24a4 is the cheapest k24a motor you can get from a junk yard.. around $600-$1000

Once you have it, you remove the head and remove the pistons and rods and the oil pump too.

JE pistons for $420 off ebay or other online store 13.5:1 compression 87mm

IB spec rods k24a $450

ACL racing bearing set from ERL performance $180

Cometic gasket for k24a 87mm 40/1000



installed



bearings installed



domedomedome!



We had a machine shop drill a hole for an oil cooler on the k24a

and then we put the k20a2 rsx type s head from the previous motor that used to be a k20a2.

Ready to go with the IPS CAMS K2



Car also used a stock RBC manifold (2006 civic Si manifold) and stock Throttle body witht the karcepts.com adapter plate to fit it. Also a k20a2 oil pump was fitted on the k24a block.

Car was started and street tuned to achieve a good A/F and was taken to inlinepro and tuned by Brian Fisher.

Here's a list of interesting dynos of that motor....

First one, on the day of the first tuning session after 10 dyno runs




here we took the car at the local dyno at dyno dymanics near Pittsburg, PA

WE are comparing the inline pro map vs the IPS k2 basemap NOTICE THE 10WHP difference between 2 different dynojets




Here since on the same dyno, we are comparing the same car, same head with different blocks... One was a stock k20a2 with the IPS k2 cams and the other is the k24a built 13.5:1 compression one




Here's a video of a 200whp TSX EG vs a 270whp K24a Civic ...lol 70whp difference can go a long way

On that video he fast hatch also had 5.02 final Drive which made it even faster. Needless to say after that weekend, I pulled my stock TSX motor and started looking for something better , LMAO


Car run a few times on the 1/4 at Pittsburg raceway which is at elevation 1200ft

Best was 11.7@ 116 with a 1.68 60 ft and 24.5 x 8 x 13 slicks , no traction bar or skinnies

For next year, we are going to try something more aggressive to get us in the low 11 region.



I made a decent attempt to cover everything but ask away if you have any questions

That is bad *** man! I would love to have a k.

kaoss_11

I assume this motor is tuned with k pro? What octane requirement
does this engine have... is it ok to run 91?

Revi

What year accord is the k24a4 from?

williejohnson

i'd like to know too

also what header and exhaust was used?

Nikos

dtr fab header 4-2-1
kteller 3 inch exhaust

Hondata K pro

on 93 it run 11.9

on 50-50 mix 110-93 11.7

Have a tune for pump gas with nice a/f ratio and one for race gas for the track

SkoundrelUSA

you makes my motor sad.

very nice. did you guys have to take any extra precautions to rev it that high?

Nikos

No... just IB spec rods

It's sick how simple it really is.

Note that the stock k series springs are almost as stiff as aftermarket springs for other engines.

Good tutorial, though I don't see how its any surprise that this thing makes 270whp. 99mm stroke, 13.5:1 compression, baller cams, a good intake manifold, and a baller header.

There are plenty of 95mm h22s making this kind of power....you can get similar results with a port on the h head, the k just plain outflows it from the factory, though with a good valvejob, the h head can flow the same as a K.

I wish honda would have made an oem 99mm crank for the h22.....didn't I hear something about putting a k crank in an h22 one time??

MJ23FE

I wonder what this setup would make with some IPS-Kme 8620's and a BETTER intake manifold.
That'll be sick to see!!!

i never seen poenty, maybe 1 or 2 h's

mgags7

pocketrockets has made some, rlz made john's h22, missing gears makes over 280, not everyone posts up their numbers on h-t

all I am saying is that the H is just as capable of making the same power, with the same parts, short of a head port

H series makes 200 lbs of torque with a simple build up?

Really nice.

The green civic pulling away has the 260whp motor described in this thread above.
The civic video taping has a stock (200whp) TSX swap with bolt ons and K-Pro.
