Honda K24 Engine Build: Tracking Every Dollar Spent
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 бер 2022
- This video I summarized what goes into building a motor, specifically the K24. I also went through all of my billing statements and totaled up the cost.
Torque it down, torque it down, torque it down.
Trying to increase the pace on the video and also trying a new thumbnail design.
Thanks for watching. - Авто та транспорт
"If this engine ever blows up, you'll never hear from me again"
This is exactly how i feel about projects like this
You did this all yourself and was rather expensive . , this is an honest look of cost to pass on , no bs like some other k24 builds . If you get 7 years out of the engine , break it down and get another 7 .
It was much more than I thought it would end up. Hoping I get that much out of it. I went with a kswap because I figured I can transplant the motor into so many different cars
probably had an estimate in his head, got close to it and had no other choice but to continue

Today kids, we learn why all our favorite content creators do sponsorships, promotions, and have merch stores.
Appreciate you sharing, though. 😎 Saw another UA-camr do this with his Mustang. $30K, leaning hard into budget options. This is one expensive hobby.
@BruceWayne-sz3thwhat's the reason behind "just getting an s2k" instead? Curious as to your logic
Honestly impressed that you managed to build it in 8 minutes
K24 build speedrun challenge.
This is the perfect video. Straight to the point, detailed, educational, and high quality. I don't even have a Honda anymore or any car I would do an engine for but I still loved this.
Wow very kind words
This engine build was beautiful and extremely honest, also a great learning point for anyone, and the video edit and total was a lot of work too, great job and amazing video editing!
I'm a Honda O.G and LOVE Hondas/ engines etc. BUT the GRAND total is INSANE! It was built nicely and meticulous. But there weren't any real over the top parts involved for that Grand Total to be so HIGH. SHEESH
That's what I'm saying. It's just dumb to spend that much... For what? You can build and boost em for cheaper lol
@@XL3BIGDrizzyThen why is it that expensive? It's mostly stock. Were there parts that didn't need to be replaced in fact replaced?
I think the lesson here is that if you want "budget", don't crack open the engine (except the basic phaser and oil pump/pan modifications) if you can help it.
Someone pointed out that I forgot to add connecting rods, $450.93. This brings the new total to $12,012.83. Yikes.
Edit: Pretty wild this hit 100k views, I did not expect that all. Thank you everyone, hopefully this trend continues.
Man, thank you! Im currently k swapping a 87’ supra and you just gave me the whole blueprint for this engine thank you!!
@@robertowolfgomez3661 Good luck!
@@IGDesigns patience is all thats necessary
Holy s**t
@@robertowolfgomez3661 DOCUMENT THAT, I used to own a 88 and a 92 both 7mgte and manual.
You'll get a ot of hate from the community but f it bro, DO IT!
Wow I have always wanted to do a fresh build like this but you're making me rethink all that. I spun a rod in my KA24E and and toasted the crank. Sent the block in to get cleaned, decked, bored and honed. Got new oe style oversize pistons, bearings and crank.
Rebuilt it with the old parts that were still usable. Total was about $1600 including the machine work.
Man congrats on the build! The price is insane tho when you can get a crate engine for around the same price with only 5% of the time investment. However, the experience you gained is invaluable
He could have saved so much. But the engine is really nice so he did well.
crate engines dont always come with all the accessories around the motor. It's usually just a bare motor.
That was a very satisfying pace of information, thank you for appealing to my short attention span
I too have no attention span
Thank you for this guide im about to do a k swap on my EK and this is a nice idea of how much im gonna be spending
Content this well produced and only 1700 subs. Untapped talent. Nice work 👌
This was super informative and shows how much goes into building a motor, especially when it's a swap
I'm going to save this video. Straight to the point with enough details to follow. Thank you for sharing. Seriously thank you
It's so good seeing these done so many years later🙏
Bud, this might be the first build video I've seen include checking all the tolerances. Thanks for including that.
really a detailed and compact video ,helps a lot thank you!
Tumbs up! Pretty nice and honest job. Straight to the point. Speed has its cost...
8:07 - always worth the extra steps. Great, informative video!. It's so good seeing these done so many years later.
Great job on the video... I knew my videos needed help, you gave me something to look to for making better videos. Thank you.
Greatest quick video ever!
There's something beautiful about watching an engine being assembled. Especially a K series, one of my favorite engines of all time. CL9 TSX is what I have.
Good honest video.
“If this engine blows up you’ll never hear from me again “😂😂😂
8:07 - always worth the extra steps. Great, informative video!
Great presentation, explanation, camera setup and editing.
And ofcourse great assembling, 10/10 video!
Thank you for this informative and funny video. It really helps put into perspective all the work, money and time that goes into an engine/car build. I used to have a c3 Corvette which took so much money and time, I still don't know if it was worth it.
I hope you and that K will have great and long life ahead
Little tip when using plastigauge on the bearings, good practice is to use the old bolts, on some engines the bolts are torqued to yield, meaning they stretch when fully torqued to spec. You'll have to buy new ones when you want to assemble the engine if you use the new ones!
I’m sure he already knew that
love the build!!!!
first time i've seen a k series build video where its not some BS or random talking, this guy got straight to the point even with how much it costed too
Dude Thanks 😊 for taking the time ⏲️ to explain and show the process.
Beautiful work brother
I bought a new Accord, 2004. We put 384,000 mi on it. Never once did it let us down. I’m an oil changer type. Castrol 20w50 it’s whole life. It got severely abused toward the end, driven months with no one even raising the hood. They ran it completely out of oil 5 times. Since it was still in my name, and they didn’t want it any more, I went and got it. Still have it. Sad ending to the best car ever! Thanks for the video !
Very talented i like this video a lot likes how you torqued everything
I love that you really said torqued to spec on every bolt.
This video should have at least 1,000,000 views, also the channel should have 100,000 subscribers just because of this,
I didn't find a video that explained things better in a shorter time i wish you the best cheers !!!
This is a great video man, awesome! I don't think this is too much or too little, necessarily.
Thank you! Excellent video!!!
Very satisfying video.
Great video !!
That's brutal. All of a sudden a 4 pistons motor or a crate K20C doesn't look all that bad.
Amazing video dude!
Rapid fire torque wrench clicks are very satisfying lol
fire vid, deserves more views !!
Good work💪
Good build, good edit, good humor
This video made me feel bad that I'm a certified master honda tech and I still ugged and dugged most my motor... Great job on the build my man
Bravo 👏…… Well done ! As someone who has built many of engines from the ground up, I can’t recall a time I didn’t go over budget. I mean, it’s already apart …. Might as well 😂
wow. Nice work
Well planned build. Very expensive but you should be rewarded for the investment.
As long it makes you happy and is your passion, I don't see anything wrong with the cost. Just be sure to plan your retirement well.
PS - I was like you in the late 90's with my 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi awd. Fully rebuilt, low compression motor and all the water works. Pretty sure I spent well over 15K on it. It's somewhere in the junkyard. Good memories though.
Projects like this are extensive and costly. As a home Diy guy, I consider to remove and replace engine with warranty for the budget and time friendly option. Although, It's good to experience the fruits and joy of labor. Expensive fruit, lol. Thanks for sharing.
It wasn't going into a honda. He bought the engines either online or at a junkyard. There is no "warranty" for what he's doing...
This is an unbelievably good and concise video on how to build a Honda engine. The title doesn't do it justice IMO.
Thank you very much
I don't even have a k24 engine(b20b), but the fact you showed detailed step by step was really cool . As someone who is soon going to have to replace my piston rings, I wish you had a video of start to finish of that. I know it would be just as amazing as this one. I commend you for all the time and effort it took for you to do all this, as well as the making of this video. Well done Sir... well done.
I have more in depth videos of each step, including installing pistons
Dude there's plenty of B series info out there, don't be lazy and search for it, it's only like 25 year old engine.
Burning oil? Have you tried adding seafoam to the crank?
Your a legend!
Wow 👍 looks like you did an amazing job bro
That thing must be so fun to drive!
It's definitely unique!
And this is WHY in UK we are starting to SEE these GREAT Engines anr being Put into a LOT of Rally Cars including Ford Escort MK2 s. Great Video Bud. Check out HUMBLE performance.
Thank you 🔥🔥🔥
this is so dope!
Simple but great video, earned a Sub
Thank you
This was a great video
What ive learned from this is i highly doubt i will ever build a kseries motor it was properly built but honestly for that money i could build an Ls engine with triple digit hp and have it be reliable.
Need a sprinkling of Clarksonism in the title. *THE MOST EXPENSIVE HONDA K ENGINE... IN THE WORLDDDD, no seriously* 😐 The voiceover was really well written and nicely documented. 👍🏽
This MR2 needs more POWERRR
@@IGDesigns 🤣
enjoy the build video.! if it blows up, get a 4piston or rameyracing motor for the same price sleeved (:
You are amazing.
Nice one
The commentary was hilarious. Good video lol
🙈👍👌 furz trockenes Video, geil. Die Kosten sind galaktisch.
Dankeschon, aber ja, sehr teuer... 🤷♂
great video I love how the internet decided it was "cheap" to do a kswap my turbo build into my civic is at 15k and its not tuned or anthing and the engine is just vct and oil pump otherwise stock
You are correct, there's a lot of hidden costs and I was hoping to provide a resource to help people realize that.
For making a compact video for my tiny mind i give you like
thanks for accommodating my short attention span :D
this video is awesome
Just bought a 2013 civic Si with ct engineering supercharger, crazy car but it bought me here eared a sub and like Thanks
brilliant!
Amazing Commentry - ACE youtuber 👏👏👏
Wish they had a video like this for the 5SGTE build
Welp it looks like I need to do a K24 swap lol.. this was the most detailed vid I’ve came across
Great job bro once you love it who cares 👍👍
OMG, you put it in an MR-S!?? AWESOME! just sub'd
Straight to the fucking point! No bs. My attention span is like dory from finding nemo. I really appreciated this video you made. Love the jokes also 😂
"Torque it down" is now stuck in my head like a song.
I built a monster 383 SBC for my camaro recently. 568 hp 531 lbft tq NET hp (measured with all accessories including hydroboost) perfectly streetable on 91 octane. My grand total was 11k CANADIAN with brand new heads, full new forged rotating assembly, the full suite of machine work on a 4 bolt main block and an excellent carb. The engine will take about 950 hp and roughly 8k rpm extremely safely. All that's required for boost is swapping the heads for larger volume combustion chambers. The carb is blowthrough ready and an electric fuel delivery system was included in my 11k total. I can achieve roughly 23mpg on the highway if I tune the carb for a road trip. I like the k series engines, but that price tag is not it man. There is no way that k24 is sitting at even half the hp of my 383. I love honda, but that price to performance ratio is not it.
dyno run says 250 hp
Can rebuild an LS motor for even cheaper: cam kit, ring gap, high volume oil pump, LSX intake, and boost.
But K24’s are Hondas big blocks.
Oddly enjoyable
Money......what about time learning. Dam nice job
Nice build bro keep it up
My first project car taught me to triple the estimated cost and double the amount of time 😅
I have a k24 in my 08 tsx and considering a rebuild as it’s 225k miles now, and I can swap it into any other project later since the tsx is not my daily now and it’s so damn heavy for these engines… at least stock anyway.
Is your TSX burning oil?
Holy crap!
Very cool and informative video, loved watching it a bit too much that i ended up subscribing, i have a K24 myself and am struggling finding all these parts. Where did you get them all?
Thnx!
Awesome content, now do a 4rotor build.
Did you tune it yourself ? And if not, how much did it cost and how much power do you put down ?
Also, very cool build !
He got it on a dyno at 248.1 hp
Am at step numero uno. Pulled the motor off of 04 TSX for 350. Completely gutted it down and cleaned. Almost scary to think the total cost to rebuild these motors 😊
Honestly, I just seen a good used C6 Vette for $8K. I think I'll go that route. Thanks.
lovely work man lol hope your ride lasts forever
It adds up really fast..
10/10
Good 👍 ASS job Brudda ✌.
