    You’re right, I was never into Honda’s but this K series has me swooning over it. The HP/L factor is incredible. Not many cars make that kind of power N/A. N/A performance is exacerbated when boosted, not sure Honda intended all of this but I believe the K series is going to be the best all around 4cyl for years to come.

    The reason for the success of both the LS and the K is that neither is exotic, they are cheap and readily available with variants having been used to power all sorts of bland utilitarian vehicles, as well as more exotic stuff. Not really something you can say about the 1/2JZ, RB26, etc. which were also made in small numbers by comparison.

    Would love to see a K-swapped RX-8. The series 2 (09-11) used the same trans as an S2000, so I assume shouldn't be too hard to fit up, and the 13B-MSP's power and torque curves are near identical to an S2000 and so gearing etc for a K-swap should be pretty good to go, right outta the box. To be making 250-300 NA high-revving whp with a small engine that maintains the balance of such a good car that is so avoided because of the rotary engine in it, would be an amazing project. Not to mention, an incredibly affordable shell to start with!

    I bought a second hand k20a2 and am putting it into a Toyota MRS. I cannot stress enough about that timeing chain tensioner. Luckily I checked mine and it was broken on a bone stock motor of less than 100k miles. For the sake of a tiny cost save yourself the headache and replace the chain and tentioner with new oem honda ones. Oh and the k20z upper chain guide fits on the older k20a motors and is much bigger. That combined with the aftermarket lower chain guide will make the timeing almost impossible to skip even if the tentioner does break. Lastly if you are pushing big power then buy an aftermarket crank gear with a full keyway cut in it as on the stock one the small timeing pin has been known to break. But yeah thanks for another great video and I look forward to more of your k shenanigans in the future.

We also had to remake the upper control arms. The motor hit the arms forward mounts stock and the driveshafts didn't line up. I made billet upper arms that moved the upper forward mount back about 2". One good thing about the swap is it dropped about 300lbs!

It just depends on your power/torque needs and desired engine characteristics (redline, sound, power delivery, weight, ect). Any of the three would make great track motors with a ton of aftermarket support.

    I used to be huge on the k series (I am midway thru a k20 turbo swap in my lotus 7) but think an LS would have been cheaper. Just the number of v8 parts that are out there has driven the prices down in many areas. I paid $1k for the engine but then you add adapters, ecu’s,harnesses etc and it’s almost a $8-10k swap. That said- the manual v8 transmission is rarely a cheap option

    I can certainly see that if you have something like a 1.6L engine how going up to a 2.4L engine has a lot of appeal, the increase in torque (especially on a light vehicle) is going to make a huge difference. That is without having to go to forced induction in order to make decent power (for a small light vehicle).

    K20/K24 powered 308 is a fantastic idea. And with the right exhaust setup might even sound a bit like a the original V8, since they don't have the high-pitched F1 style wail of the later 348/355 cars. Through some big driving lights on the front and say it's a Group 4 Rally car! You guys will have to rock big mustache's and Hawaiian shirts every time you drive it though.
