I have heard a version of this idea mentioned before, but will mine work any better?

Using F22 or H22 block - bored to 2.4 litres, k24 pistons (11.5:1 CR), and a DOHC VTEC head (H22, F20B, H23).

A). Would this work properly?

B). If yes, what would be some the major things to watch out for when doing this build?

Don't know if it would work properly,

But you need to consider.

1. Valve angles of the heads you're using and the Valve depth compared to the valve angle/clearance on the piston.
2. Valve diameter and the valve pockets of the K24 piston
3. What rod you will use and how much will it sit below or sit above the deck
4. Will the K24 pistons work with the H-ser FRM sleeves and the type of rings you will use with it.
5. Combustion chamber on the heads and if it will clear the piston dome.

 

Did you happen to read this?

whats crazy about this other than using k series pistons?

 

THAT part isn't even that crazy. The Import Tuner article talks about using the K series pistons

 

This is not a new or crazy idea anymore. The only gain I can see from using OEM k pistons is that they are cheap. Cons are that they will probably wear faster than a piston made specifically for the block. Wrist pin offset....anyone!

Someone said that K24 wiseco pistons don't have a wrist pin offset. Wrong, If you buy an off the shelf aftermarket piston made specifically for the K24 it has a wrist pin offset. They have a little sticker on the tops of the piston that remind you of that fact.

To get a properly fit custom piston will only cost you a few extra bucks. I looked into using 89mm K24/K20 OTS pistons. During my search I sent out a few emails with questions and concerns. I was told buy a reputable machine/engine builder that to spend the extra money would make for a more reliable setup. No valve relief problems or P2V clearance issues. He even suggested to have my piston compression height lowered to 29mm. That way I could use H22 rods. End up with a bit better R/S ratio as well

F22B2 Block - 89mm bore - Darton M.I.D sleeves
Wiseco 89mm bore x 29mm CH x 0.6cc dome pistons
Carrillo A beam H22 rods
0.030 Off the head (Creates a quench style head)
0.060 HG
= 2364cc w/11.6:1 CR
Then if you use Honda's cc to liter conversion calculator that = 2.4L...lol

Nice info Ghost

 

oh man this build is the **** i just wonder how well it holds up? i guess it is in all in how you build it...

 

For the stuff in the cost overview, what parts will I not require? (besides the b-series conversion stuff)
