So I have taken this oil pan off 3 times now. At least I think it's the oil pan leaking. Does anyone else have any other clues to what it could be? It doesn't leak while car is off, idling, revving or putting my car in gear on jack stands. As soon as I drive down the road 1/2 mile I come back to this. It's making my axle wet and throwing oil around it looks like. I've tried rtv and a cometic gasket. Haven't tried hondabond yet. This thing is getting the best of me.... It's in my MR2 so technically my passenger side but normally I'd be the driver's side(opposite side of transmission). Maybe it's leaking elsewhere that you guys may know of? I don't see anything glaringly obvious. It is a new steel oil pan.

Hello Everyone,

Just after a few inspiring ideas for how to run my coolant lines for my turbo setup (K20A2), the head has a heater core port which i believe its going to be my return line but my feed line im not sure where to pull it from if anyone got an idea?

wasnt running coolant line on my setup before so looking to incorp it into my upgraded build (new turbo)

If i have a K24a2 and a 2nd Gen CR-V 5 Speed Manual that was converted to 6 speed manual, what clutch can I run with this engine and transmission set up? I'm only trying to make around 350hp-450hp max. The car is for daily street use, im not into racing but I want to build an AWD k24a2 for my car. Thoughts and suggestions?

Hi all, so I'm doing my homeboys ep3 turbo install, and I have a question/debate on what I did

So I added a bulkhead fitting to the assembly, I hooked up the plastic bendy line to my fuel rated hose and ran it to the top of the basket(as seen in the picture). I added a plug at the bottom because somehow someway i either lost the piece that attaches to the bottom. I plugged it with a 1/8 plug. (I can't take it out with my fingers so I know it'll hold inside the car) My thinking is that it'll work just fine. The return will rain down on the pump, and keep the basket filled up, no?

What do I do with the ground wire that went to the regulator?cut it? Loop it back on itself so I don't ruin the fitting?

Hey guys i once saw a video where a guy was filming himself inside saying that his elantra's motor was having issues but instead of rebuilding it... and went outside and was showing his elantra, popped the hood and said like but instead of rebuilding it he swapped it with a honda motor and showed his engine bay with a k20 engine sitting in it. If anyone has the video DM me plzz

Thanks

Hey do yall notice this?

Before VTC: I did timing chain, guides, replacement, and valve lash adjustment and the ticking sounded louder than before

Still had cold start rattle but worse lasting 3 seconds.

After VTC Actuator(ChrisFix Method), as well as retiming TDC(AI Method): Engine is quieter at idle, ticking gone. Cold start rattle is fixed too!

I have a JDM K24A that has been swapped into my 1997 Civic DX. I used the Hybrid Racing 1996-2000 AC conversion kit to keep my AC. The system is charged and provides cold air as intended when turned on. The issue I am facing is that the ACSW and ACCL sensors in my K-pro PNF do not turn on when the physical AC switch is pressed on the dash. Because of this, the ECU is not able to compensate for the additional load on the engine. I suspect that there is a wiring issue somewhere.

Disclaimer: I am using a USDM K24A2 water pump housing and a USDM K24A2 AC compressor. I only realized today that Hybrid states their conversion kits are only compatible with K20 AC compressors. I’ve reached out to them to see if that’s a fitment, mechanical, or electrical incompatibility and if there’s a known solution for my setup.

My questions to you are:

1. have you successfully used a K24A2 AC compressor with the Hybrid Racing AC conversion kit? What challenges did you run into and how did you solve it? If not, I suppose I may need to switch over to a K20 AC compressor (pain).

2. Does anyone know if the K20 AC compressors will bolt up to a K24A2 water pump housing? If not, I suppose I will need to replace the WP housing along with the compressor if I ever want AC to run.

Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone,

I'm getting conflicting information, so I was hoping someone could put me on the correct path. I'm wanting to run stock accessories by utilizing the power steering pump that came with the engine. Is this possible without having clearance issues (or will a new pump or custom fittings be required)? It's going in an EK hatch using the haasport EKK2 mounts on the lowest setting. Every kit I see is for the k20/RSX pump.

I currently have a 05 Tsx manual and planned on boosting it but heard in order to tune these ecu the 04-05 ecu were unflashable or locked something? But the 06-08 were flashable so is it better to swap with one of these or is there any better compatible ecu's out there?

I replaced the auto tensioner for the my belt twice on my k24 rsx and its still making noises and i grabbed a new belt as well. The picture here is from the 2nd one i bought but this time when i go to start the car it chatters until the belt walks a rib or 2 off towards the engine on the power steering pump and then the chatter goes away. Based on the marking its way off right? I initially thought the first one i bought was just defective because the marking didn't move at all and the belt tension felt loose so the belt was just squealing. Still running all accessories ac,ps. Im so lost right now but any input would be great.

Any thoughts?

Hey I’m doing a k24 swap onto my ES1 civic and was planning to do the whole AC part but the only thing that I don’t fully get my head around is the wiring, I’ve seen that the conversion harness has a play into this and also the harness and car that I have so I want to know if anyone had any tips or tricks for this, I have kprov4 on a crv ECU, I got a ktuned conversion harness for my es1 and I have a bullboost k20 tucked harness. I was researching and saw that I would have to get some plugs from a donor car but that’s no issue and that I would have to wire them to the ECU and to change some configurations on my kpro

I took the heads off & just curious as to what this is?
Feels almost like the diaper stuff when they get wet

Old coolant breaking down?

So i bought this k24 out of a wrecked accord from some crackheads for a hundred bucks transmission came with it but the engine is missing the rocker assembly and cams. The transmission seems good and the motor looks decent i took the head the rest of the way off and the pistons look decent but ive never seen a k24a3 in the states idk how it ended up in a crackheads accord

Another step closer to getting her on the street again😁.

Anyone running a G30 900 turbo what turbine housing, boost, fuel and power? If you monitor EMAP (exhaust back pressure) i'm extra interested :)

Came to replace a tensioner belt, only to find out a piece snapped off of the entire bracket system everything bolts to. Ideally I would think the entire bracket is replaceable but it seems to be joined to the engine block so that doesn’t seem to be an option as of now, until I can inspect further. Just hoping to get some input. Thanks

As the title says, I'm doing an OEM+ type build for a modification limited racing class. I bought what seemed like a clean K20Z3 and I'm concerned about dropping money on this thing to find a major issue so curious what the K experts say about the wear I'm seeing.

I was cleaning the timing cover I noticed some grind marks that looked like contact with the damper. The damper doesn't seem to have any corresponding wear, but could have been replaced (Dayco brand?). One of the thrust bushings show what I would consider more than normal wear. Unfortunately when i pulled them I didn't notice or record which direction the crank could have been pushed.

The crank shows only minor wear, and in the opposite direction (crank pushed forward, maybe clutch change).

My builder thinks it will be just fine after replacing the bearings and would check throw out then. We can check runout on the crank snout too. But neither one of us are too knowledgeable on K series.

The thing is otherwise perfect, so I would hate to toss it and take a gamble on a different unit. On the flip side I don't want to spend money on cleaning, hone, and assembly to find excessive throw out.

hello, I am looking to buy a k24a2 vtec 3 lobe rbb3 heads preferably or rbb2. I am wondering where I can find the lowest miles engine for around 1500 or less that is guaranteed to work and not have anything wrong with it,. any recommendations for websites or links would be very appreciated thanks.

Hello,

I'm currently looking at intake options for my 2008 K24A2. I was thinking about using a clone of the RBC intake that comes already ported and with a 70mm TB. Have you guys heard of any downsides from using something like this: https://ebay.io/m/dgKDWH

Should I just find a used OEM manifold and have it ported?
