This guy looks like he is gonna start laughing at any second.

Dude's glasses are so jdm.

It's like someone's tickling him 100% of the time he's talking

Mike is like the Bob Ross of cars. His voice is super relaxing and his energy is very uplifting.

This fella is a fountain of knowledge.

This guy just blew my mind, wow. I’m amazed how happy he is with what he’s doing for a living. That’s freakin awesome.

Imagine if Honda made a K series Straight 6.

It's like he is super freaking hi and can remember everything he's ever learned and can explain it in great detail. This guy has reached a grand master level.

Would love a vid on the different types of k-series and differences with specs and modification possibilities. There are a lot of vids that explain the differences between the different K series engines (A2, A1, A JDM) but curious how these make a difference when fully upgrading the cams, valves, rockers, springs, retainers etc. As always thanks!

This guy is Bunta's boy and he tuned Takumi's 86.

I want this man to teach me everything

I'd hang out with this guy and listen to what he has to say. Awesome explanation for the metallurgical properties and the mechanical properties.

Loved the vid. Wish you guys would show some shots of the motor while it was being assembled as well as realtime shots of the components. Keep smiling bro. we need more happy people in this world.

I cant imagine many people i could listen to talking about engines, but I can with this guy 👍

Mike's videos are some of my go-to ASMR things on KZfaq.

Read through most of the comments and can't agree more! No BS, no music, no stupid cutaways, just the facts ma'am. LOL great video, subscribed!!

I could watch Mike talk for hours and hours. Absolute motoring legend.

love this type of stuff, hope to see this in your Ep3 build!

Nothing but love for all motor K's.

Thanks for talking about the forging process and how it relates to grain direction. Really cool to hear about that, along with fatigue stresses and toughness.

Like always Mike, You are a star! I enjoy listening to You.

bro, from start to finish.. I been cheeseing so hard. something about this guys just makes you wanna smile all day. great vid brother

Very nice explanation, with great details! Thanks for posting

Mike, you are so fun to watch, you make these videos easy to understand and I absolutely love learning from the best! On to the next one! ;)

I love these kinds of breakdowns and knowledgeable talk-throughs! I'm not a Honda guy by any means but damn I might just build one with this info for a reliable fun project 😉👌

This is the info we cali car heads need. This guy is a master mechanic

Put it in the EP3!!! 👍

In 2010, I bought a S2000 with a scorched piston. I managed a Machine shop at the time so I was not afraid to get into the engine. I rebuild the engine using a stock K24 crank, K1 rods and Wiseco Dish pistons. We also bored out the cylinders and installed 2mm Melling repair sleeves. The engine was boosted with a V1 supercharger and made 420whp at 13psi and 300 flywheel hp natural aspirated. For the street, I preferred natural aspirated version of that car because you could use all the power all the time where with the supercharger you had to be careful not to oversteer the car and loose your ass. I sold that car and it is still riding around town 10years after the build. Everything was done on a budget with mostly stock parts. Honda did it right!

This guy is a guru!! I’m subscribing!

This is the GOD of Motors! I love How calm he speak about the Motors! Best Teacher ever! 🤟👍👍👍🙋🏻

I can't wait/really hope to hear back from you about my inquiry on this build! Would love to throw it in my ep3 and see what it can do on new york 93/e85.

Awesome vid as always!! 🙌🙌👏👏

Fantastic video... inspiring even... I want to download this.

Great content keep it coming

This is the person I want to build my d16a6 in my crx. Seriously would love to learn from someone this full of information

This guy is awesome! Instant subscriber

Fantastic video!

I wish videos like this existed when I wasn't starting off learning how to build engines haha great video

The conclusion of this video is . . . . . the dude is happy all the time

Thanks for sharing the blueprint ❤️

Hahaha. Dude. Remember when Mike tried to get Type R power out of the SR20 for a magazine. Now he's making 300 with a K! Technology is awesome!

I remember a lot of Mike Kojima's articles from SCC back in the days. Dude's been legit! 👌

My Lord, I wish this guy lived near me to help with a build! Very knowledgeable!

I want to build one so bad ! I have one that died because of lack of oil. I would love to build it for my 2000 civic. Thanks for the video! If I get well, Lord willing, I’ll hear that civic thumping the pavement!

I'm a Subi guy now.. but Honda is where my heart is/was. The K20 is an amazing engine!

Great vid 👌

Messed up a seal in my engine and I have to redo the install but at least I watched this video today :)

awesome video - another k lover

Awesome video

SuperTech valvetrain parts, available at your local Walmart oil section.

Happiest man in the world.

I don’t know how and why but this dudes face is straight from cartoons which is great! Love his vibe

doing this in the spring. accord 2004 lx sedan ftw!

An yall should listen to what moto have to say, they give out good advice for free, appreciate it 💯

that was very specific and very interesting

160hp per litre from a k20 is actually quite easy, one of my customers has 347 flywheel from a 2ltr with the right cams, rods an pistons on standard crank, all i do is change bearings an rings each season, but this will be season 3 so a new set of liners this rime round.... But EVERYTHING is cryo treated, then surface treated after 👍 This engine lives between 9500rpm and 11000rpm at every event, 16 events a year 😊

I'm a B16A guy, but I swapped my cr-x back when you had to weld the motor mount to the engine bay directly.

Outstanding!

I wish I could be as happy as this man looks

It’s amazing that you can run 12-1 comp on some engines with pump 91, the old school American motors start pinging at 9-1 😂

Nickel is primarily used to prevent creep at higher temperatures. Not for tensile strength. That’s more steels department

Mike Kojima is such an OG.

I wish I had his knowledge and experience in building Honda motors! He’s probably forgotten more than what most of us will ever know.

This guy is awesome!!

His voice is so soothing I listen to it to go to sleep lol

I once stroked out my fc20 engine with a Honda accord crank. We used 2mm melling repair sleeves. Had to make a custom spacer for the timing chain and that engine definitely made 300hp. Wished i ever sold it.

I'm a simple man. I see video about how to make 150 hp/liter from my Honda motor, I *click*.

Who remembers the D16z6? So much fun.

I see Mike. I click.

Mike Kojima is the man! He knows so much about Hondas, which is scary bcuz he's a Nissan guy! I dnt think anyone has built a fresher Sentra! Isn't it called "The Dog" or something? I'm more into 4G63s but when Mike talks shop, I'm all 👂 👂

Good video. Power to weight, baby!

Now tell us about the hyundai excel. Great content as always #MotoIQ

Dude sounds like he just blasted 3 OG Shanghai Dabs straight outta that Japanese Jungle!🎯🔥🤯

I like this guy already

This guys perma-smile is making me smile.

Nice video

I would love one

He seem like he's about to bust out laughing 🤣

Seen him on Hoonigan multiple times. Dude knows his shit.

That's the kind of K series I'd love to build and stuff into my integra.

He seems like a wholesome good guy

K24 also found in the Element! Be nice to have some of that extra zip...

U guys are heroes

I would love to see a video like this for a Nissan KA24.

Love it!

One day I'll get enough money to pay Mike to do his engine and suspension magic on my RSX lol

God, I love Ed.

I always wonder/wish Honda had made a variant of the K but at least the F series with 5 cylinders. Partially to honor their F1 program that was around when these engines were designed. But also to honor some modernization on the thing that made them famous (NA 4 cylinders). It’s a nice way to get some extra torque, and not experience much weight and packaging problems. Always seemed like a natural fit. But I understand that a professional company is risk adverse. And that they achieved all they needed to with a simpler, cheaper and more efficient conventional design. But I guess I wouldn’t be an enthusiast if I didn’t wonder about a Honda 5 cyl

Nice video, would love you do the same on the Nissan's SR20DE

Yay Mike!

F-20/22C is amazing too.

Awesome video!!! Great stuff! The title is not quite 100% 150hp per liter. He claimed 320hp out of 2.4 liters = 133 hp per liter. Still damn good!

He seems sooo happy =)

your dope forreal !!!

Great up load can U list the items and costs please

F20/22 👍

Great content More more more

The thing about 2618 needing a ton of bore clearance is a myth... yes, it grows quicker than hypereutethics and needs it if your habit is to nail it from bone cold. If you don't want the skirt rattle, learn to load it gently until running temps are in and run 0.003" / 0.076mm clearance instead of the thou+ more the card says you "must have".. done that on several 80 to 85mm forced induction setups and never had one seize up.. rattle is gone and ring oil control is better (very short skirt piston).

Great stuff, would love to see a video like this on an F20/22. 👍👍👍

Planning the same build was trying to decide on cams. Never seen a smooth idling stage 4 cam, but I love the drag cartel lineup and Jerame has always been a lot of help to me through emails. What size injector do you run on that setup if you don’t mind me asking? Great video
