Want to know which is better K24A Odyssey / TSX / Accord Type S/CR-V/ is for a project with a 93 civic

 

the best drop in and go option is the k24a2 out of the tsx. if you're building it get the cheapest one you can find.

 

Thanks for the help bro

 

Yep the K24A2 is the only K24 that has Vtec on both cams ie the true Vtec we all want and love. All other K24 motors only have Vtec on the intake cam and it is more akin to Vtec-E, only operating 1 intake valve in lower RPMs. Not saying that the other K24 motors are not good performers though.

 

True, but keep in mind you can always do the vtec killer setup using OEM rockers and you are good to go. It all depends on what the purpose of the car is.

 

okk thanks

 

personally i say just go with the tsx motor. if you get your car tuned right away u will be more than happy with the power of a stock k24a2. especially in a light *** eg hatch.

 

so all k series motors have vtec? and the k24a2 doesn't have a point where it kicks in its more or less always locked on

 

they all have a version of vtec.

true vtec like we all know with 3 lobes per cam on intake and exhaust with a fixed crossover point:

- k20a
- k20a2
- k20z1
- k20z3
- k24a2

all the rest have a version of vtec-e where below a certain rpm only two valves per cylinder open fully on the intake side. it's meant for fuel economy.

 

^ well, that is, until the new K24Z3 came out (engine in 2009+ TSX and 2012+ Civic Si), thats neither VTEC-E/fuel economy based.

k24Z3 makes the 200hp mark and runs a single lobe'd exhaust cam, but retain the 3 lobe intake cam.

Seems honda figured out 3 lobes on exhaust side isn't needed anymore to produce 200hp, tho the k24z3 is a bit of a unique engine (head mainly).

In regards to the OP, were you asking which K24 is best for say a stock build? or a primo high power k24 rebuild?
If stock build, yeah like all have said, the TSX (04-08) K24A2 is the best choice with minor mods that can/should be made to it (type-s oil pump).

 

Is the type s oil pump a direct bolt up

 

the mating surface needs to be ground down a little to fit the k24a2 and k24a4 girdle. it's a direct bolt on for k24a1. there's also an oil jet that needs to be plugged.

 

iirc, the rrc(fd2 type r) oil pump is pre notched for a true bolt on affair, if that's what your looking for. Think you need rrc tensioner piece too

 

the type s pump is cheap and readily available. no reason not to get it.

 

truth be told. and also the scoop on the JDM FD2-R pump hangs a bit lower than a type-S pump's scoop that's partly due to the slight differences in oil pan design in regards to the Z3 vs. A2 pans. (z3 and FD2-R pans are the same).

 

You're absolutely right, that's a great motor.

But for a build, it'll be more trouble tuning because people aren't fooling with it too much yet.

Easiest solution is still K24A2. :-)

 

2012-2013 Civic Si has the K24Z7...just so you know.

 

the one stamped: H22a

 

thanks

 

K24a1 direct bolt-on... from there you go either route but i would say buy which ever k is cheaper because the money you save you can put into the engine and probably produce better numbers

 

K24A2

 

How much is worth a complete K24A2 swap these days? Engine, trannny, ECU, harness, accessories, all the goods..?

 

06+ TSX K24A2

 

will the k24a2 bolt up to the 2006 accord or will you have to switch ecu?

 

Bro i need help...I have k24a3 if i replaced my camshaft i can get that vtec engagement?
