DIY vtec killer setup-Budget K swap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- In this video I finnaly break down the top end of the k24a1 and install the k20a2 cams and k24z3 rockers. The purpose of this mod is to give this engine True vtec by riding on the upper lobe and eliminating the need for a vtec solenoid. This is a great mod for any one running a non 3 lobe vtec motor such as a k20a3, k24a1/a4. It makes good power on a all motor setup and should do just as good on boost. Any questions? Hit me up on instagram Egchris92
What a great video breaking down the whole setup and how to. Thank you for the great DIY. Can't wait to see this thing in the EK
sorry mike, barely saw this comment 🤣 well now it’s in there!
Just replaced my timing chain, guides, and tensioner about 5 months ago, and now a cheap cam set on FB marketplace is making me want to go through all the trouble again to do this 😂
This is about the best video I’ve ever seen on one of these engines
Thanks! Appreciate it
Started watching with the yard pull of this engine today and just subbed. I was #3k. Good stuff man love the videos keep up the good work
Awesome! Appreciate the support! If you have any questions hit me up, always happy to help
Good video I had a k24vtec killer setup. Great Powa for the price. Side not update that valve train. I almost gernaded a motor at a trackday, was only reving to 7600RPM.
This setup has since been sold, but it was fun to put together
Good video Chris, detailed with good explanations.
Thanks!
I have done a similar set up before and lost almost all drivability on my daily. So I removed Vtec killer and used my Hondata to give me vtec after 2k rpm with effectively the same results but allowed me to daily it. Cold cranking a vtec killer set up can be a process lol
I hear you man, I wouldn’t do it in a daily but for something I wanted to give a try with since this is for fun
Dude you are a very helping yo tuberYour videos are great with explanations
Glad I could help man
Great video, I just wanted to make sure since you are working on a k24a1, can I do the exact same thing by also using the k20a2 cams and k24z3 rockers on a k20a3?
Yessir, you can follow the same exact setup
@@ChrisBuilt92 Much appreciated!! Keep up the good work Brotha!
Appreciate the support man, always happy to help
Well i hope you UPDATED you motor with this set up you needed to really block the oil port and also upgrade the oil pump to a type s pump
You only need to upgrade the oil pump if you plan on high revving the motor
@@ChrisBuilt92🤦 I'm a over achiever when it comes to motor use lmao 🤣
Nothing wrong with that man, this was just a build to show people you can do it on a budget
Hey Chris, do you think its a good idea to swap for bigger injectors and maybe a better fuel pump as well for this setup? Im trying to aim for 230ish hp by adding other addons too.
For this particular setup I will be putting larger injectors and fuel pump once I know the engine and transmission are good and start with getting the turbo setup on. For all motor my eg k24 setup is a pretty good setup for your goals if you check that build series out
@@ChrisBuilt92 Thanks!
That notification at 8:26 had me mad confused for a second lol
Haha that happens some times
Very well put together video.
Thanks!
Awesome instructional video 👌🏾 quick question, would this setup work even if my car is an 03 k20a3 rsx base automatic?
It would work, but you wouldn’t be able to tune it with kpro so it might not run as good as it should
@@ChrisBuilt92 noted thanks, appreciate the reply 👍🏾
@@brianbejado3237 anytime
Nice video, are u gonna do a k20 oil pump
It would be a nice upgrade but trying to stick on a budget with this build, there’s things that I still need to get this running
hey man, are you using a kpro to control this setup? do you unplug the vtec solenoid wires or do you leave them plugged in and tune with kpro?
Yes this was ran in kpro, you can unplug the plugs going to the vtec solenoid since they won’t be used
@@ChrisBuilt92 thanks!
Great video. Did you need to modify the rocker arms? Are you running supertech dual springs?
Rocker arms were all from a. K24z3, when running 8 exhaust rockers from that you don’t need to modify the rockers it’s just bolt on. The valve train was completely stock on this car other than the cams and rockers
Have you heard of any clearance issues when running supertech dual valve springs
@@hondarob178 not able to say so, but with the z3 exhaust rockers you clear stock no problem unlike the a3 and the others so it might fit just fine.
@@ChrisBuilt92 ok sounds good ill have to look into it i know kmod website says to use beehive springs or another oem retained if upgrading valve springs wasnt sure if you have tried any. Did you just get your rockers from the junk yard or order them from somewhere I cant seem to find anywhere. Any recommendation?
all exhaust rockers from k24z3 ?
So what if you want to do VTEC killer setup on a K20A2? What would you change out on top end? Rocker assembly wise? Or not? Thanks in advance
You could just run the k24z3 rockers and you will be in vtec all the time
You can just get locking pins
@@Matt-zi8ud . I thought of just the lock pins before as well. But NOTHING online for info on vtec killer on K20A2 type S rsx. Did you personally do the killer setup on an K20a2.?
This might be a dumb question but could I use my k24a1 exhaust rockers on my exhaust cam and put k24z3 exhaust rockers on my intake cam and get the same results?
It's been a while, don't remember the technicalities
No worries 👍🏽
hi, do you use stock pistons on setup?i read that k20a2 or k24a2/3 cams don't work with stock k24a1/a4/a8 pistons,may hit valves piston when vtec kick's, so need to use a2 or a3 pitons on block or aftermarket.
The a4 or a8 might have issues, the k24a1 shares many similarities with the k20a2 and a3. This engine was 100% stock internally and never had issues. Valve train can have clearance issues if you go with a more aggressive 07-0 tsx cams. There is also no vtec with the “vtec killer” your always riding the vtec lobe on the cam when you do this
I have a k24a4 what head swaps can I do for vtec?
I got a question if its not to stock rocker i cant put the k24a1 valve clearance Like k24z3 rocker
I do not recall what spec I used to do the clearance, I’m sure something is posted online for it
❤❤
I got k20a3 rockets and cam assembly this will work or i need to get the rockest from a k24z3 thanks
Why would that work when i show you the other way to do it
I got the hole cam assembly from a k20z3 the I got from the junk yard so you think the I can used them thanks
I want to do this to my K20a3 on my EP3...how much would you say is invested to do this set up?
Cams can run you 100+ and the exhaust rockers can be expensive. I just eBay and didn’t find them. But there was another “vtec killer” rockers for sale for 350$ way more then I spent sourcing them from the junkyard
Hey bro ? I just found your channel and was wondering do I need k pro ? I was thinking of running k tuned immobilizer and trying to go that route do I need k pro for it to run or can I just use a 6spd or 5spd ecu ?
You can get away with using the immobilizer bypass, but I would use the ecu that matched the engine. For a k24a2 you would have to use kpro because the throttle body is electronic. You can get away with it but I wouldn’t recommend
@@ChrisBuilt92 okay bro thanks I appreciate it man , I just finished my k24 swapped rsx with k pro all of it was pretty much plug and play , but I was trying to do the vtec killer set up in my ek hatch with K20A3 without breaking the bank
For the vtec killer I would definitely have something to tune it
Low end vtec engagement actually loses torque up to 5k roughly
I have a jdm K20A papa-1 stamp I need help with identifying it .
Papa-1?
Vtec killer with turbo😀
This is what eventually was built for this car!
Hello
With these set up I would have to get the vtec block off plate too right ?
Yes that is correct
@@ChrisBuilt92 same with the vtc solenoid?or that block off is for another set up?
@@bryannieves7301 you can leave that alone
good stuff Chris....lol @ "this is stressful"
Thanks bro! This video was recorded over a couple of days, I just needed it to be finished 😓
Did you use oem valves and spring?
Yes oem valves and springs work just fine for this setup
One step closer
If only my lazy ass would finish it now
Nice! Vtec killer might be my next k swap, always wanted to see how they perform, would 50 degree vtc benefit in vtec killer? 👍👍
In my case the k24a1 I’m using Comes stock with a 50* vtc. Many k series engines benefit from it as long as the piston and valve have clearance to support it
@@ChrisBuilt92 wait frs all k24a1 come stock with a 50° vtc ?
@@jmdj89 yes!
@@ChrisBuilt92 thats crazy what lmao. I bought a whole type oil pump kit and a dam rbc vtc 50° for my k24a that I bought and I never new these k24a1 came with that 50° hahahaha
@@ChrisBuilt92 my ep3 rn has a k24a1 so soon swapping my k24a on e85 should be more fun. Also how that duralast tensioner from auto zone doing. Is it worth the money if so let me know so I can buy one. Don't feel like to over spend on a ktune or other ones for no reason
Niiiiiiice!
Thanks!
egchris92 I like how detailed you get with the videos good job and thank you 👍
U gona take that hunk metal out of the oil pan,
Hunk of metal?
Sorry, the balance box or take the chain off the crank, easier to rev
For this setup the goal was to keep it simple and as cheap as possible. So that whole pump setup will stay. Maybe if this works out well I’ll put in a k20 pump
Can use skunk2 aftermarket camshaft in that setup?
Yes you can but if it’s too aggressive you’ll have to change out the valve train
@@ChrisBuilt92 what specifically in the valve train?
@@jrhoonigan8811 valve springs and the hardware with it, gotta make sure the clearances are good so there is no piston to valve contact, better off with the type s cams or the k24a2 cams
@@ChrisBuilt92 can this be shipped to PH?
@@jrhoonigan8811 Philippines?
Getting Down 🤔
Yessir
The sound on the video cuts out more than once
That’s because part of the music got copyrighted, by some no name rapper. If you have a question about anything let me know🙏🏻
I got a k24a4 what set up can I use ?
You can replicate this setup without any issues
