Thanks for making this video. Reliability is important if you care about money.

I agree 10000%

[@gman5killedyou]

this has to be one of the most helpful videos. Literally ran out and disabled the clutch sensor that you mentioned by jumping the connector with a wire. Now starts up with out having the clutch in good looking out.

Solid video. The only other thing I would have liked to see covered would be the strength and reliability for internal components. When you need to upgrade pistons, rods, head studs, etc.

You're the man for this! I actually think I found out that my TPS sensor was bad. I didn't realize that was such a common issue......ugggh the pain.

Wow man some real good insight. Good terminology and you can tell you've seen it all! You got my sub!

[@martink20a64]

To add a bit to 2nd gear failing, when using And upgraded clutch you may want to change your clutch slave cylinder because the factory one has baffles in it to restrict flow and with a heavier clutch springs your shift will be much smoother if you use a K tuned or like aftermarket slave cylinder , I believe this is the major contributing factor to losing second gear

[@damonheard5080]

I love how serious you take this

A Person what tuner do you use that he did the flash for? I’m new to actually doing power and everything. Had to do a LOT of work to fix the previous owners mistakes and am finally looking into tunes.

[@dannyb20vtec28]

great video...another tip on cams is that if your stock compression, than too big of a cam will make you loose power. pick cams that are suitable for your setup. bigger isn't always better.. awesome video man

[@dochvtech22]

Yeah this is a good video! Ps. Look up Gene kim n Chuck missler on

[@sqracing]

Thanks for the advice.. Years of experience.... Going to save me a lot of time.. I can tell you know your $hi+ ... Have a Z4 and will now swap out the Oil Pump and TPS. .. already have headers and 71 TB.. with the RSP intake with TB adapter welded on.. I cut the old TB mating face off the RSP manifold -( fly by wire TB ) .. and just welded the adapter directly to the manifold... ( professionally Alloy welded that is )... . and then ported it to 71mm .. and add an Idle Air port ( RSP does have one ).. ...drilled and ported it...... HOPE IT WORKS.. doing a A to K swap.. Mini A series.. to Honda K series.. :)

[@gernblenstein1541]

[@genericautovlogs9484]

Never get into the K series scene. People jack up prices on used parts to unreasonable numbers and are assholes for no reason.

[@jdmr.3346]

Tuning isnt cheap but fully building a b series can be just as expensive. Here in cali you can get a k24 jdm engine for $650 and making 240whp with a header and intake manifold with 200ft lbs of torque I'd take that any day. After you fully build a b20vtec your lucky to make 230whp and way less torque and that engine is basically maxed out. Just trying to find a b16 head in good condition for less than $500 is not easy. In my opinion B series is overrated and overpriced.

[@mikoht]

So much knowledge. Subscribed.

[@reggieh6038]

i heard a ultra light fly wheel in a k20/k24 build isn't a good idea due to how fast the motor revs up and its recommended to stay above 10lbs for the fly wheel is that true? also how reliable is it to have drag cartel 2.2 cams in a 8th gen with upgraded in line TCT?

[@jdmfreak101]

In the Fuel System Part you said to route the fuel coming from the feed line to the fuel rail then out the return line to the regulator then return back to the tank, but most guys do it this way - feed to 3 port FPR then to the rail, other end of fuel rail plugged, then route the return from the bottom port of the FPR to the return line, so my question is, is there an advantage to putting the FPR after the rail vs placing the FPR before the rail? BTW this is for FI application therfore will be running large injectors. Thanks

thank you dude from UK im now off out to check that mesh thing. i thought it was shit fuel but hope its the mesh on my k20a2 with 154000 on it

great video. the only thing I disagree on is the tct

[@papoportillo1019]

If your gonna bolt up a k24 tsx bottom end , with a k20 head & k24 tsx cam & gain 40-50 horsepower & torque & be around 240-250 hp like mentioned in the beginning . Wouldn’t that setup basically be like a regular k24a2 with bolt ons?? Would it be easier just to get a k24a2 & do bolt ons ??

[@patioperformancecrew6785]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the B Series next.

[@mattminnich3886]

Good video.very informative

[@stevensayalath2774]

Evan,
do you recommend head porting on the k series? how much does porting effect reliability? Is it more beneficial on a turbo setup over a NA setup?
maybe that could be your next video! lol
thanks

[@miatafan]

Steven Sayalath porting is most useful on boosted motors because you have a larger volume while keeping the proper intake velocity. For n/a it’s better to polish with minimal porting

[@uchiha_d1334]

When you say go tsx cams. Do you mean swap out the exhaust cam and keep the type s intake cam or swap out both cams? Thx again for this video. You’re the man man!

What car has the fifty degree timing change vs the stock K24a2 gear? RSX-S ?

[@Scourge1024]

I see you mention the 06+ TSX cams... I'm about to slap together my 12.5:1 K24 with 09 TSX cams and its matching VTC gear. From what I hear, it's a 50 degree VTC cam gear and only works with the K24Z3/K24Z7 intake cam length (different offset on gear too). Anyway, any experience with that setup? I'm hoping I'll be okay.

[@h2bpilot358]

Howard Choy with that compression there's no point to put in a tsx cam you mite as well go with some skunk2s or drag cartel

[@lcq4blackstar]

Some really good info you shared! Can anyone direct me to DIY on removing the clutch pedal safety switch? Would it be as easy as just threading it out of the pedal assembly and zip-tie it under the dash, then thread a bolt into the assembly to act as a depressed clutch pedal stop?

[@simplyklean]

Hey man thanks for the video! Just wondering if you could do a video on nitrous set ups for the k series? From the research that i have done it seems that a direct port dry shot is best for k series. Of course you would have to have the basic bolt ons, kpro or any other ems, upgraded injectors and fuel pump. Also it seems that with the kpro you have more control of the nitrous. I have only read about nitrous set ups, but i would really appreciate your opinion considering all of your experience and knowledge! I am stuck between getting a supercharger or nitrous set up. If you could do a video on k series nitrous set ups including the pros and cons that would be great! Thanks again for the content!

sounds like the 06tsx k24a is the best base to start on. already have the biggest cam of the bunch. just need VTC to 50 degrees and a RBC. where as other setup upgrades to tsx parts?

[@captainobvious9188]

Is there an aftermarket and/or chain tensioner modification that brings it back to OEM reliability?

[@zechariahterrell9239]

No idea if you're still looking for an answer but yes. K-tuned makes an aftermarket chain tensioner that helps A TON.

What Clutch slave cylinder, Master cylinder and line brand is better. I seen exedy upgraded ones, ktuner and or hybrid racing.

Ok, just so we are clear, I can get OEM TSX cams with 50 degree vtc AND rbc manifold (with tsx engine block), for my 06 RSX type s after all my bolt ons?? If this is considered the best NA, I’m throwing my money at it
