Talk:Honda K engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What are the major advantages of the k series type r motor over the b series? Please help, looking to do an engine swap on my 94 gsr.

[edit] K specs

I added the Specs for the K series engines in the manner that was previously done on the B series page. I've only added the USDM engines, so anyone is welcome to add JDM or EDM specs, as well as fixing any mistakes I may have made. I've only used the new SAE specs on the K20Z3, if others would prefer I could change everything over to the new SAE system. - RoyRogers

[edit] sources for power outputs

I'd like it if somebody could come up with a source to the power quotes on this page. ... aa:talk 03:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F motors and heads to the K24 motors

The page for the F motors suggests that the K motors may have interchangeable heads with the F motors. Does this mean that a K24 could take an F head and cams/exhaust/etc? This would probably lead (provided you didn't retain the 9k redline) to a 2.4L motor making 288 hp, give or take. I also find myself wondering if boring it and stroking it a little might be possible. ... aa:talk 03:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

An F-series head cannot be mated to a K-series block. If you're looking into a different head/block combination though, F-series heads can be mated to H-series blocks and visa versa I believe. -User:Tqless 02:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

K series cylinder heads will only fit K series engines. IJB TA 18:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] block and head materials

what are the block and head materials for these engines? This is only listed for the special Si engine. 209.176.193.130 01:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional Information

  • Bore centres: 94mm
  • Bore: 86mm (K20 & K23), 87mm (K24)
  • Stroke: 86mm (K20), 99mm (K23 & K24)
  • VTC intake camshaft range: 50 crank degrees (K20), 25 crank degrees (K23 & K24)

Note: The H series used a metal matrix composite bore, rather than the often quoted Nikasil bore, which is a trade name of Mahle. 69.226.56.93 16:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
