That’s how a Honda is supposed to sound

Like how simple, and informative these videos are, subbed!

Excellent video. It proved the exact difference between those engines. Thank you

K24 VTC gang where u at? 😁 Appreciate the upload Nick 👍

awesome channel bro just found this on accident but i like what i am seeing here!

Awsome bro keep it up more dyno videos like this comparision is awsome bro 😁

I am also a DC5 owner! I can't wait to see the content on this project. SUBSCRIBED!

🔥🔥 clean rsx bro

Right on, what i wanted to see. Cool deal.

Awesome content

Nice video, educational

Very informative mate

It would benefit from a 50 degree gear because of the new k20 RBC manifold. Some k24’s even lose power with an RBC compared to the stock manifold without a 50 degree VTC. Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Nice,I subbed as well. Good job!

Hell yeah brutha!

Freaking car sounds amazing...

liked, & subbed. wnna see more videos of the rsx!

Solid! This secures my choice with a K 24 swap

And that sir is why I bought a k24... another killer vid bro, I need to make my way out there in the future 🤘🏼

Awesome vid nick. If you could in the near future before you go awd and turbo, plz do upload the 50 degrees VTC cam gear comparison with your current 227 hp stock setup. Keep up your good work and thank you.

just deserved yaself another sub. i have a 02 rsx base with a 08 k24a2 with a unknown header and RBC aswell and i been street tuning my k24 for a good 2 months now off and on because i sometimes catch my a/f get wonky sometimes lol im glad i came across this video. can you possibly do a detail visual video on cam angles in kpro whenever you may have the chance?

Awesome content nick. It appears low cam numbers are not really affected by vtc as much as high cam. Really interesting

My 2008 Honda Civic SI k20z3 intake header and a 3-in exhaust and Chinese knockoff 410 CC injectors port matched 70mm TB tuned on flash pro made 228hp

Hi Nick, Just out of curiosity.. Did you measure difference between k24 and k20 oil pump on k24a2/3 engine? I would like to know ho much power can hold balance shafts. Thank you in advance for your answer!

Bro great video and love the engine power comparison. Where do you have your shop to do dyno? I'm intrested.

Need to do one with the 50* vtc and type s oil pump for research

Hey Nick, loving your videos! I have a k20 type R swapped mr2 spyder. But also have a k24 in the garage. I was always planning a K20/24 build. But is it really worth the hassle of assembling a K20/24 frank or should I just put in the k24 with 50* vtc and type R oil pump and call it a day? Will keeping the k20 head with the k20 cams give me that much of an advantage, of at all?

The two lower cam angles towards the very top look like there about to make a run for if it had more rpm. Very interesting

Did you replace the oil pump with type s as well or kept stock pump?

Which is better k pro or KTuner? I bought a k24a engine for my 02 type s and was wondering what ecu I should run!!! Please any help

I can never find a good RSX in Toronto. Been looking for one 2005+ for the longest time (one that isn’t beat/rusted. The white looks amazing!

oh nice, a fellow Hypergram DC5 owner lol... but your build is light years ahead of mine lol

What headers are you running ? I have a k24a swapped 06 rsx type s and I am looking into headers that will fit. Please lmk thank you.

Hey Nick, did you run into any clearance issues with the RBC and the hood closing? More specifically the sensors and hose on top of the RBC

Did you use the stock oil pump or did you use a k20 oil pump with the balance shaft delete? Nice combo will hit you up when I get my k24 type r up and running ivd got a basemap 👍

So what do I need to do same swap to my 05 type s ? 06-08 tsx or jdm k24, and a kTuner? Do I need other mounts or parts to make this swap work ? I have a z1 now but might be looking for upgrade

The higher angles increase overlap and help with scavenging until very high rpm where the cam angles may want to be retarded to take advantage of the air inertia and the ram air effect. If this was a turbo application I would expect less cam advance in the mid range due to backpressure from the exhaust system. The k24 and k20 share almost the same bore only the k24 has a longer stroke making it undersquare. The k20 may rev higher but the peak torque figure would be less. The k24 may make more torque but at a lower rpm. Thus, both engines can have roughly the same hp but their torque figures can be quite different. If the k24 made its peak torque at the same rpm as the k20, the k24 would make more power mathematically. However the K24 being undersquare, limits the maximum rpm lower than that of the k20. Also, the K24 head is designed to be most efficient and operate at a lower rpm, thus any larger increase in rpm may net a decrease in torque. If you can safely get the k24 to rev like the k20 then fitting a k20 head to the k24 may be beneficial.

Needs a 3” exhaust & cold air & then leterrreaaaat

Hey I have a 05 type s and I have k tuner but I haven’t got around to my 2 step what are the #s i have to put

Hi Nick with your power figures are these at the wheels or flywheel?

Interesting

Have you done any testing with the stock tsx intake manifold vs the RBC? Hondata shows a loss in tq but your graph looks awesome. I'm doing this swap and trying to decide if its worth adding the RBC, thanks!

Whats all needed for this swap? I've got a spun barring and want a new motor..

Where did you get the megapower header?

What exhaust is this? That shit sounds so good

In-depth video on the vtc install please

Do a video on vtc tuning

Nice, k24 swap in everything and everything hahahha. We have one in our Mitsubishi. Love that motor.

Thank you for giving all this info. I know it's a year later, but do you have a teat run on the 30 degrees? So we can see the difference. Thank you again for all the tests and info. Peac n love my man.

you should do a comparison with k24 bottom end and k20 head to see if its worth swapping the heads

So you are telling me that all stock k24a2 is making that to wheel? Dang im getting mine tune right now!

intake header and exhause it stock? wow everyone stock now days then,

Aren’t you supposed to swap over type S oil pump & plug an oiling cavity under the windage tray to avoid loss of oil pressure and cavitation at higher rpm?

Wheel specs? The car is beautiful

Where is a good website to buy engines?

I spent hours trying to search info for a K24 build. Ive found the highest output "OEM" build is based on the following: 06-08 K24A2 block K20A2 Head 06-08 TSX cams RSX Type-S cam gear Type-S oil pump Type-S oil pan I scoured multiple forums for this info and this has been upheld by a majority consensus. Hope this helps anyone looking for direct answers like I was.

What ECU are you running??

K24 > K20. The K20 is better suited for boost with a higher redline , less compression and make more top end on boost due to a better flowing head however the K24 on boost is better balanced between torque and horsepower if you want more torque.

What kind of wheels?? Specs??

Baby steps!!! Next step is k20 head

JDM k24a2 のREV Limitは7000rpmだけど、どこまで安全なんだろう？ バルブスプリング1本だからDC5のスプリングに交換したほうがいいのかな？

Anybody have interesting knowledge to share regarding supercharging K24 or K20/24?

that's really good for a stock motor.. i spent bunch of money and tears in my B18C5 to make about the same. T_T

what front spiltter do you have?

Me: idk what 50 degree vtc anything is lol

I noticed you are using the Rbc map sensor, did you block off the sensor on the throttle body?

What did you need to do to put the Civic Si trans in your rsx? Thanks!

Need that K Pro broski

I’m thinking of going to the K20A2 head and K24A2 buttom but what pistons should I run that will be good for boost

What changed happened to the harness with the swap, and are you using the type s transmission?

Dope awd rsx

Nice video... Is that wheel Hp or flywheel Hp?

My rsx has a k24 and sound the same😏😎

Hey I just put in 07 tsx motor in my type s, similar bolt ons like yours but the next step is for me to just swap out the type s ecu and get kpro v3/v4 or Ktunner, any big differences between these ecus?

Did you do anything to the thermostat housing? The tsx faces up and rsx s is down. Just wondering, I'm doing a k24 build on the rsx to but I'm stuck on that

4:40 what it made

Did the header had any clearance issue? Was told you cant use k20 header on k24 engine

Is there any reason you didn't go with the k20 head + k24 block hybrid? What kind of power do you think you'd make with a K20 head?

Do you know the specs of the "jdm" k24a motor? My local shop is having a sale and im thinking of picking it up. And also, would the skunk2 alpha header fit on the k24s? thanks!

Broooo that’s what’s up just finished my swap and it’s way better than the damn base! Anyways how can I get that base map bro haha

Now put the K20 head on. The TSX head Vtec sux. And low redline. If you want more torque and not lose Vtec but have the best of both put the K20 head on the k24 block and your running a monster bottom end with a monster top end! ..Do It!

I'd say it would benefit from 30~32 ° VTC . Usually if a K sees an increase at the max stock 25° it will benefit from the 50° gear. I've had a K lay down the 250's @7800 @ 35° VTC

K20 all day

Do you etune?

I have a question what clutch stage would you recommend for a k24 turbo making 300-350hp

Does anyone know how the 06-08 TSX cams compare to the JDM K24A cams? Is it worth spending 300 bucks on used cams. Is the increase in power even negligible?

What’s up bro I got a rsx base I was planning on swapping it to k24 but does it matter which one I get? There’s one from crv and one from tsx I think and does year matter ?

Same transmission in both cases?

Where’d you get that intake piping?

What header was used with the k24?

any problems with the header ? with the k24 being 19mm taller ?

stock oil pump? couldn't see what you rev to

what Air fuel numbers under WOT do you aim for?

how is 227 bad when a tsx only produces 200hp? that's actually very accurate, did i miss something?

K24 usable power isn't very impressive coming in right at redline. That K24 needs to be able to spin out another ~1,000 RPM to shift into your power zone.

Btw it will use and need all 50vtc and should make 240ish

What exhaust?

Or you can get best of both worlds and do a k20 head and k24 block

would it make a difference to throw a k20 head on top of that k24?

What’s the name of those wheels?
