As we’ve discussed in previous videos, the K-Series is arguably the best four-cylinder engine Honda has ever produced. It offers a massive amount of potential for both naturally aspirated and boosted builds, with massive amounts of aftermarket support. Even with the popularity of the K-Series engine, a lot of people don’t know if they should swap a K20 or a K24 in their car, so today we’re going to break it down and see which one is better.

Dude, we drive Honda’s, pricing is always an issue 😂😂
Juan Rodríguez..... well put 🤣
The struggle is real 😭
Juan Rodríguez I’m sick lol 😂
Speak for yourself. Some of us have the cheddar but just love hondas
Speak for yourself dude. You think all these nicely built Honda’s got poor owners? Nice parts aren’t cheap.
The real question... gallo 20 or gallo 24

I always felt that a K20 is best for boosted applications and K24 is best for N/A applications. K20 has slightly more cylinder thickness which helps block integrity good for lots of boost and revs higher which is good for a wider power band on boost, and the k24 has extra capacity which helps give a meatier mid range for all motor setups and a potential for higher compression due more stroke.
So is it the k20 that revs to 9.2k rpm ?
@@great4ever845 Stock? No. In stock form, F20C from honda s2000 revs to 9k.
It is proven you can make K rev this high, but it is adviced to make some upgrades.
Turbochargers love more displacement though. Having more air go in makes sense when you have longer connecting rods to push up and down. Not only that, but turbocharged configurations are better with lower compression ratio. Given that K24's have a lower compression ratio than K20's do, I'd say a boosted K24 would be more reliable (stronger) than a boosted K20

@@great4ever845 The K24 modified can spin up to 10grand.
K20: Im better
K24: Nah, im better
F22: *hold* *my* *Vtec*
I owned two of those engines! I had a K-20 in my RSX type S and the F-22-A1 in my 91 accord. My F-22 was modified but my 00 accord F-23-A1 was HEAVILY modified cranking out 300 hp NA!
I don't understand this comment, the K series destroys the F22, unless you're talking about the F22C1, which isn't significantly different from the K series engines, except that it has less aftermarket support.
I own a k20 si and a f22 accord 4th gen. The f22 has more torque 😥, but the k20 is way more fun and faster
@@jonthecowboy More torque? Compared to what version of the K20? But, yeah, the K20 is going to be faster, because the amount of torque that an engine makes doesn't really mean anything.
@@PistonAvatarGuy yeah it's just odd having little torque the k20 civic is a quick ass car for how cheap and stuff but the f22a4 has more lb-ft than the k20z6
K24 Heads have relatively poor flow, I believe the intake valves are smaller. Also, you guys didn't mention but there's a golden nugget K24 that had a crankshaft with fully weighted counter weights and improved block webbing, as well as other small improvements all around. I'm referring to the 06+ TSX's K24A2. The Odyssey and Element blocks are pretty comparable but the 06+ TSX crank is the superior part. The head also has slightly more aggressive cams but they're still hindered by the lack of flow potential from the valves. Yes the counter weights make the crank a few pounds heavier, but the high end vibration stability is a well worth trade off, plus its not like a good 8-10 lbs flywheel wont counteract the extra rotational mass/ inertia.
If you grab a K20Z1 RSX-S Head and slap it onto a 06+ K24A2 TSX block, you've got the best combination possible. Throw some cams, springs/retainers, Pistons/Rods, along with a tune and 250+ whp is easily possible, if not pretty casual now lol
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Bro everything is alright except the head airflow part. It flows the same as the k20a2/z3
K24A2 out of 06+ tsx also had larger valves to increase flow along with the larger throttle body
I have a k24a2 bottom and k20a2 head with turbo and just above 600hp
@@foxamus513banger6 the shit he said is false. the k24 head does not have poor flow and is practically identical to k20 head
I would say that are probably the best 4 cylinder engines ever made. Best blend of reliability,tuning potential and price. No wonder they are swapped in everything.aftermarket is also huge for these engines.
I don’t drive a Honda. I just wanted to learn more lol
Good man!
😂💀 me too trying to learn more
Well, you should.
The K24 is a taller block due to its stroke. That can be a problem where space is limited. Hood or oil pan clearance can be an issue.
Jarvis it really is I have a 9th gen Si and the oil pan sits too look the engine bay seems too crowded too
Get a moroso oil pan and it will solve that issue
This was an issue for swapping the k24 into the first generation Miata but they sell valve covers now that are shaved a little bit to fit under the hood. So it might work with other cars too.
I have a 92 eg with a k20a2 boosted with a precision turbo and yesterday i was hauling ass in 3rd gear and then accidentally shifted to 2nd gear! Smoke blew out the exhaust and now it's locked up. Do u guys think its just the head or worse?

K24's are about to get super cheap in Canada, 2007-11 CRV's rear sub frames are all rotting out and being condemned.

I live in vermont, which is basically canada, k series are cheap af here!

Dont all the mid 2000 accords have them too?
@@darnellquesnel1832 how about you throw a bone on one of those cheap-ass blocks homie
Been wanting to build an ef hatch for almost 20 years. A couple years ago I finally got the car for a good price and just last week I got a salvaged 2013 civic si. Can’t wait to figure out how to get that k24 into that ef. I have a feeling that 205 hp and a 6 speed are going to be amazing in that little civic.
I plan on putting a K24 in my EM2

@@tjfreeman7179 I might have to dig for receipts. The 1989 CRX was $900. I bought the engine and transmission (The whole car)already together from a 2006 junkyard Civic SI. Someone had swapped out the K20 that was in there. Whole car was $1500, I sold pieces I didn't need and kept what I wanted.

I have a 14 Si and I’ve had B Series cars. A also had a friend who had an RSX-S. I love the low-end grunt of the 24 but the 20 is so much more fun with the more pronounced switch-over and 8k redline.
My first car was a type s. I LOVED. that engine. I want to swap it into something to feel that high rpm again
Neither, K24 Frankenstein with a K20 Type S head and a 6 speed LSD Type R trans. Ultimate Honda setup.
That would be a bad ass setup!
And ktuned shifter
he said that tho....
For race setups the FD2 type r trans is good but the final drive is terrible for street driven cars. The fa5 6 speed is the same but the 6th gear and FD ratios are better suited for street applications. Also make sure you get the 09'-11' trans as the bearings are better.
This is poplar amongst Element enthusiasts
I remember when a k swap just started. I was part of one of the first clubs to have a k20A jdm swap in an 95 EG! It was amazing!
A K24 with a reflash is a fantastic engine...from 2000 rpm - 7600, there is no let up til it hits the limiter, just pure power...and that is in the heavier accord
I just picked up a k24a2 for my del sol, cant wait to swap it in!
Awesome video man. So much to learn and knowledge to gain about cars, engines etc. Keep up the good work. Cheers from New Zealand.
I can't watch this because I have to study right now. But I liked your video because I love this substantiative conversation. 😃😃😃
Aww you missed the 9th gen Civic that had a K24. The extra torque made it a really nice daily driver.
Ya but manifold was shit out that car. Definite rbc swap
cuz it aint the good k24, the k24a2 is king
Don't know about the manifold being "shit". How it was designed, it was more aimed towards on producing more torque and keeping that torque in the low end. If you want more all motor power, than the 9th gen platform isn't too good for this. Also depends what your end goal is with a car. For me, I kept my 9th gen completely stock with just brakes and tires and did nothing but autox and track with it. The torque really helps with corner exit in a higher gear compared to staying in the lower gear on an 8th gen, topping out the rev limiter on corner exits.
Both motors are pretty similar to each other but if all you want to do is wrench and try to make more power out of these motors, then yes, K24A2 would be a better fit. I personally tracked and autoxed my 9th gen completely stock and I had no complaints with it's power and torque delivery on track. The motor responds great even though it was an e-throttle. Driven many other e-throttles before I gotten my 9th gen (even drove a TSX Type-S) and the 9th gen had a great responding motor that's similar to the 8th gen. It made it great to heel-toe.
PiroFyre lol u idiots talking about track racing 200hp stock hondas lol. Dude my 94z28 camaro stock would destroy you and not even be trying. Handled so much better too
A k24a2 with a simple type S oil pump is loads of fun and u can rev to the sky!
Thank you for making this video. I still have so many questions about what my choice will be but this really helps break it down into a better decision making model. Thanks again!!
Being a guy who loves his dads DC5 great video. You need to do a video on EJ vs FA engines in the Subaru ! Your break downs are concise and straight to the point awesome stuff
Fantastic video. I’ve spent 15 years around K-series Hondas, and I still learned some things. Well organized and concise information. Nice job!
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I’ll go with the k20 because of the high revving
Also, a k20 holds boost much better due to it having a shorter stroke. You have de-stroke a k24 a lot to have a reliable high whp motor. My buddy is boosted in his k24 and he can't even go over 10 psi of boost but I've seen stock k20a's go over 12 🤔 I can care less for torque in a FWD car you'll just spin of the line
@@jattack9972 depends on the chassis it's on and how you launch.. most races aren't off the line tho and when your going up a hill or in low rpm, torque is king!
@@shawnsta7779 yeah but, torque in a FWD does you no good in all perspectives. Off the line nor at high rpm does a k24 does any good if you're spinning. Torque for FWD also causes under steer, that's also why Honda went back to the k20. It's a more versatile motor and 12 or 15 more torque really won't give you a upper advantage but the k20a can make so much more power in the mid and high rev range which in any cases you'll always be in while in hill climbing, autocross, circuit, drag etc... Also, k20's are a much better motor for holding boost then a k24 in all standards. So it all comes to preference at the end of the day, k24 is the perfect N/A build while the k20 is the best boost motor. It's all in what you wanna do honestly but in my preference is choose the k20 Because of it's balance, high revs, and boost capability
@@jattack9972 you sound so butthurt holy shit lmao. K24 when tuned would make like 40 ft Ibs more torque. Also k24 is a great engine for the tsx or accord chassis because it's meant to handle such a big 4 cylinder. For a true race car a k24 NA is the best balance and power overall.
I have an k24z and i got 385 wph lots of power....
Good job with these easy to understand videos and thank you.
It's 2019, those engines give me so much memories, thank you for making this video I'm thinking about it again
I had an 04 element EX that I totalled by hitting 2 elk in September last year but the engine still ran great just a lot of body damage to the front and now have an 02 rsx type-s finding out the k24 bottom+k20head would have been great I should've kept my element when I was paid out by insurance and taken a cut on the payout and combined the engines! Damn
Very good! Lots of info! I have the k24/k20, and its boss
So clean and easy to understand man 👏
Second video I've watched and they really informative. Subscribed I have
My '14 K24 Accord is factory stock and it's impressive. I had no idea about the potential of these engines. Also the Accord has the 6 speed manual.
You got to get the 2 l turbo accord with a 6-speed that's where it's at
K24 with k20z3 head seems to be quite strong. No expenses spared on internals, 12.9to 1 fully balanced bottom end, h beam rods and all arp fasteners, recommend doing the s2000 oil pump upgrade. The k24 at 8k+ is quite a handful between gears.

Thanks!
Finishing up my k20z1 turbo swap in my dc2 today. Nice video
Arthur Wall I plan to hurt all feelings precision 6765 controlled by an AEM Infinity
One thing you mentioned at 4:00 is that the k24 from element/accord is preferred with a head swap. You overlooked that you would need to change the pistons out because the accord/element ones would hit the valves on the k20 head. I have heard more about people using a crv block and swapping parts off a k20a2.
loved the K24 I had in my 17 accord, but the CVT ruined the entire experience. also noted that the intake manifold was on the fire wall side while the block had the 4 exhaust exits built into it and lead to a singular exhaust exit. it was kind of odd.
just switched to a 19 civic sport 6MT. couldn't be happier with my decision to get the K20 instead of the 1.5T, especially with soflo weather.
Great video. Straight to the point.
I subscribed..because it's an excellent video. I do not own a honda but have always wondered about this. I'm a b14 nissan and L30 altima owner. But love the video.
I reminds me, back in the day import guys used to talk about b16 heads on a b18.. or something like that
Or b16/b18 vtec heads on a b20 block hence b20vtec
It has to do with the size of the ports and parts availability. That combo has been used up and good parts are harder to find. Dart still makes an improved B-series block at a pretty reasonable price. They can also take more boost pressure than a stock K-series.
Didn't that start with the H-Series. I remember people putting the 2.0 heads on the 2.2 blocks from preludes and accords and Adding turbos. The B-18 DOHC wasn't available here then I thought. It was all SOHC's back then. The B-16 was only in the Del Sol and eventually the Civic SI
Whoops forgot all about the 170hp B-18 in the Integra GSR😂😂
I had a K20 in my RSX-S and my GF has a K24 in her Civic SiR and the K20 felt better when the VTec kicked in. Hers was fine but the switch over was smoother and not as exciting. K20 vote switch feels like a turbo. And the sounds at higher RPM sounded amazing.
THorne H agreed
K24a2 VTEC hits hard and fast.
B20a2 block cbr 1000r head and piston is the best combo
great video very comprehensive and well spoken thanks
Need a k20 vs f20 vs k24 vid next. Loved the video.
Thanks! More videos to come in the future 👏🏻
I'm doing a k20 swap and a turbocharged k24 into Pontiac Fiero's. I am trying to learn all specifics about Hondas. I cant let all the k swapped MR2's have all the fun! These engines have so much potential, its crazy!
On a fiero? Get a 4.0 from an Olds Aurora! Think bolts to the original transmission?
@BeADad2447 because the 4.0 Olds v8, while ok for what it is, doesn't have 1/10th the aftermarket support of a k series. People that do the Northstar, Olds v8, 4.9 caddy etc do them for the v8 wow factor. They make cool cruisers. I've done 2 of those 3 swaps. It's just not what I want. I like the idea of a high revving engine in my "sports car". GM should of offered the LQ1 v6 from the get go. Atleast that would have been better than the boat anchor Duke and 2.8 v6.
Great video! The K series are my favorite 4 cylinder engines without a doubt
Thanks 🙏🏻

You should cover the newer k series heads and how their limiting in every application including turbocharging.
I drive ek with k20, k24, k24/20. All motor build. K24/20 all day best!! But when you build engine take care of all parts and build. Buy all new parts and do it like factory build. Best gear,tran, k20 gears only 6 speed from k24 and f.d 4.38. Best for street use. Cheers!!
Not everyone can buy new parts tho my guy

Nice video. Using a K24a3 Accord for last 3 years. Really good for everyday use.
Get it refreshed and watch it fly, it eats civic type Rs for breakfast
I still got me a B18B1, non-VTEC and I still love it.
On a hp per litre ratio only the latest and top tier Type R, K series engines beat the older B series engines B16a, b16b and B18c (Gsr and Type R) versions.
Goes to show the B is still formidable and relevant as what they lose in total power they gain by being the more economical engines.
Back in 01 a buddy had a black type r that he turboed. It was a great car before the turbo but mental after. The b18c was a great motor but cars got heavier and needed the tq numbers.
I remember that a tuner in Greece swapped a K20 into an Austin Mini. That was a sweet build.
My sleeper accord k24 turbo suprises all them V8 bios! Love it!
Damnnn nice
Great video, just one minor correction. "The K20 provides plenty enough power to push a lightweight Honda around...". As the overwhelming majority of Hondas are front wheel drive, you're actually pulling it around, not pushing it.

I owned an 04 K24a2 with a Jackson Racing Supercharger 6-7psi before owning my two K20's. The blown K24 was in a 2600lb EP3. I didnt use a k20 head it was fast and tuned well. However the K24 does not have the same rev matching raise hell feel a K20 does. I was jelly over my boy's blown K20a2 then...
I went to a EG K20a2 swap and did IPS K2 cams, Eibach VS, handported head, RRC 87mm pistons, ported RBC, maxbore TB, RCrew header, 3" E, 3" ram air intake, kpro...just a bit over 250whp. Hybrid Racing cables too...Turned it into a downpayment on a home.
Now I got a DC5-S. The K20 can be rev matched and driven like a cheap whore just a pounding away on a road course. The K24 likes it slow and ruff getting the job done. The K20 is like a really tiny hot piece of ass that like to be thrown around the bedroom and doesn't break under pounding. Just free up the mid-range and top end. Or do a 2.2L stroker with cams forged internals boom

Sounds great!
As an old-school EF guy, I'm much more fond of the B-series for these reasons: - Rod linkage shifter. - cable clutch - more simple & practical layout for service - more noticable v-tec changeover!!! K series dont have the same "driver feedback" feel!!!!!
Chris Sikora
That’s cause you’ve never driven a K20A, probably only the North American spec k20’s. I assure the k29A shits on any North American K20A2,Z3 etc
Im not trying to say that a B series "out-performs" a K series. im saying that I strongly prefer the rod & clevis B series shift linkage, as opposed to the 2 cable K-series linkage. you can feel the sychro's in the tranny! you feel like a "part" of the machine rather than just the operator.
@@chrissikora8097 I run a k24 frank motor in my rsx with bolt-ons. The cross over is pretty stout; I'd say on par with a B. Anyway, I love Honda.
I tryed an eg5 hatchback with a k24 swap. The hood was raised just so the engine could fit in.
When the car was idling and you look at it from the ousite you could see the entire chasis where shaking because of the big engine :)
For me the eg civic with k24 swap was more fun than a mk4 supra tt.
I own a 07 tsx 6m and love it.. just hate that drive but wire response! But great engine and car soon to tune
So can you explain why people do a k20/k24 frank build? With combining the k20/k24 can you still rev high on it?
K20 heads are everywhere and fairly cheap and easy to work with, good k24 heads are hard to find and require more work, it was covered briefly in the video.
k24 all the way, i like the low end useable torque and throttle respond from the k24.
Is that the one that revs to 9.2 rpm?
happy you made this video i plan on doing a 5th gen prelude swap. frist swap every was thinking about doing a j35a8 but i always loved K. K for the 5th gen is a header swap but i fill like it will be easyer to work on

Keep us updated
My 89 CRX HF only weighs 2600lbs.... so with a K24 and K20 head it will be flying basically! Good video and information!
We used to put 396 heads on 454s back in the day, to increase the compression ratio (CR). Sounds like what your doing putting the k20 heads on the k24. For supercharged engines, it may be beneficial to put the k24 heads on the k20 to LOWER the CR. With lower CR, you can run more boost before having to deal with detonation issues!
Some people have actually done this with pretty good results.
As long as the 396 heads were closed chamber 98 cc and not open chamber 118 cc. But the closed chamber heads shrouded the intake valve and decreased head flow. To solve this you can plunge cut the chamber wall to unshroud the intake valve. Ask me how I know...I have a set of closed chamber oval port 702’s (396/427) on my 454 with proper quench distance 0.038” and running flat top pistons. It has massive torque in my C10 and will outrun those supercharged dodge TRX trucks with 700 HP. They get pissed....😂
Where are you finding the k20 cheaper than the k24???
K20 is actually more expensive than a K24 you should do a video how to use the internals of a K20 to a k24 head
Sad to say that the k24 I've seen up over 2000+ hp and it's cheaper lol
@@balistict0fu842 link to this 2000 hp k24?
JDM k20a type r will be the most expensive k on the market. usdm k20a3 will be the cheapest k20. K24a2 will be the most expensive k24. it will still be at least a thousand less than the jdm k20a type r. k24a4 will be the cheapest k24 on the market.
Becauze you can find a k24 element full block all over the place and swap internals
I think hes referring to the total swap price when using a k24. I'm putting a k24 in my 91 civic atm and some things I've had to buy, I wouldnt have to if I would have went with a k20.
I like Honda's H Series engines, the 2.2 and 2.3 Liter ones. Thanks for the informative video!
Thanks for watching!
I was eyeballing a $500 longblock k24a2 swap for my carbd 86 crx hardtop...but only saw a k20z1 installed 1st gen... Thx for the vid
i bought a 07 k24a2 engine for 350 you cant find a k20a2 for less than 1000.. your backwards on your prices
U can get a whole car i.e accord with k25 with MT in India about 1000 dollars infact u can do bargaining as well
Exactly 👍
thought I was the only one who noticed that.... k20s are harder to find and more expensive than k24s. You can find a k24 at almost any salvage yard for cheap, meaning less than 1000 easy.
@@vastaire81 only the eco vtec k24 is easy to find and cheap, but k24a2 which the cost double in price, I'm lucky to have one seating in my garage
K24 all damn day. More displacement and much more torque.
My Z3 poops all over your 24's
Aaron P but I like High revving Hondas.

Very simple and easy to understand video. Thanks!
I picked a K24A2 with ported head and Precision 5858 turbo. It revs to 7k RPM and makes an easy ~500whp. There are some reported issues using a K20 head and K24 block.
I'll stay with my k20a.
The best one is the one you already have
@@TheYakkis it's only the euroR though but I still Love it :)
K20a2 would be a nice upgrade to my rsx
F20 from s2k is the real strong 4 banger
Low on torque tho
I would definitely not miss out on the k series .I will have both engine in my possession ❤🎉🎉
Just picked up a JDM k24a for $700.00. Currently ripping my k20z3 fg2, but I can’t wait to feel the 2.4L tq 🤘🏼.. Will always love the k20 revs
after the swap which do you prefer the 20 or 24
