It's like he is super freaking hi and can remember everything he's ever learned and can explain it in great detail. This guy has reached a grand master level.
Would love a vid on the different types of k-series and differences with specs and modification possibilities. There are a lot of vids that explain the differences between the different K series engines (A2, A1, A JDM) but curious how these make a difference when fully upgrading the cams, valves, rockers, springs, retainers etc. As always thanks!
In 2010, I bought a S2000 with a scorched piston. I managed a Machine shop at the time so I was not afraid to get into the engine. I rebuild the engine using a stock K24 crank, K1 rods and Wiseco Dish pistons. We also bored out the cylinders and installed 2mm Melling repair sleeves. The engine was boosted with a V1 supercharger and made 420whp at 13psi and 300 flywheel hp natural aspirated. For the street, I preferred natural aspirated version of that car because you could use all the power all the time where with the supercharger you had to be careful not to oversteer the car and loose your ass. I sold that car and it is still riding around town 10years after the build. Everything was done on a budget with mostly stock parts. Honda did it right!
Mussh Wins the factory k24 Crank increased the stroke and made it a 2.4 Liter over the stock 2.0. It really gave it bottom end, my butt Dyno estimated about +50ftlbs. The F20 is rated at about 150ftlbs. So having 200ftlbs really made the S2000 fun to drive.
Loved the vid. Wish you guys would show some shots of the motor while it was being assembled as well as realtime shots of the components. Keep smiling bro. we need more happy people in this world.
I want to build one so bad ! I have one that died because of lack of oil. I would love to build it for my 2000 civic. Thanks for the video! If I get well, Lord willing, I’ll hear that civic thumping the pavement!
Your not going to use nickel for strength when it only benefits from 5% difference in tensile strength. A forged component would still be cheaper and plenty capable with the new orientation of the grains. Yes corrosion resistance at higher temperatures but this is a heat engine, not a jet engine where were subjecting the components to above their melting points. The only material commonly found to corrode at temps like this are aluminum alloys, where hydrogen is more susceptible to diffuse within the material as we approach the melting point. Which is still not even close in the Carnot cycle these motors are running.
I love these kinds of breakdowns and knowledgeable talk-throughs! I'm not a Honda guy by any means but damn I might just build one with this info for a reliable fun project 😉👌
160hp per litre from a k20 is actually quite easy, one of my customers has 347 flywheel from a 2ltr with the right cams, rods an pistons on standard crank, all i do is change bearings an rings each season, but this will be season 3 so a new set of liners this rime round.... But EVERYTHING is cryo treated, then surface treated after 👍 This engine lives between 9500rpm and 11000rpm at every event, 16 events a year 😊
Thanks for talking about the forging process and how it relates to grain direction. Really cool to hear about that, along with fatigue stresses and toughness.
I once stroked out my fc20 engine with a Honda accord crank. We used 2mm melling repair sleeves. Had to make a custom spacer for the timing chain and that engine definitely made 300hp. Wished i ever sold it.
The thing about 2618 needing a ton of bore clearance is a myth... yes, it grows quicker than hypereutethics and needs it if your habit is to nail it from bone cold. If you don't want the skirt rattle, learn to load it gently until running temps are in and run 0.003" / 0.076mm clearance instead of the thou+ more the card says you "must have".. done that on several 80 to 85mm forced induction setups and never had one seize up.. rattle is gone and ring oil control is better (very short skirt piston).
Mike Kojima is the man! He knows so much about Hondas, which is scary bcuz he's a Nissan guy! I dnt think anyone has built a fresher Sentra! Isn't it called "The Dog" or something? I'm more into 4G63s but when Mike talks shop, I'm all 👂 👂
If honda ever made a RWD car that isn't a million dollar NSX i would be so happy. Their engines are phenomenal. that goes for their motorcycles and dirtbikes as well. I'm in love with the k series engine, it's just never been in a platform that appealed to me. Civic, integra, accord... all FWD economy cars. I wish they made a supra or Z equivalent back in the 90s when they were making engines like this.
@@motoiq S2k is a phenomenal car, really close to what i want, it's just a little small, it's more akin to a Miata, Z3, or Boxster roadster type car. It's got the engine, the balance, the timeless design and while i'm sure they're fun to drive i couldn't see myself dailying it. Just my personal opinion I like a more GT type car something almost mustang sized with 2 door or 4 doors. Nissan is my least favorite of all the Japanese brands but something exactly like a S14 is what i want. The WRX is cool but idk about their reliability compared to a Honda or Toyota. It's almost like the car I want doesn't really exist and if it does, it's a 100,000$ collector car
I can't wait/really hope to hear back from you about my inquiry on this build! Would love to throw it in my ep3 and see what it can do on new york 93/e85.
what he's trying to say is generally k series is capable of 150hp per liter and still be reliable. not this particular motor being shown since this is a milder build.
I always wonder/wish Honda had made a variant of the K but at least the F series with 5 cylinders. Partially to honor their F1 program that was around when these engines were designed. But also to honor some modernization on the thing that made them famous (NA 4 cylinders). It’s a nice way to get some extra torque, and not experience much weight and packaging problems. Always seemed like a natural fit. But I understand that a professional company is risk adverse. And that they achieved all they needed to with a simpler, cheaper and more efficient conventional design. But I guess I wouldn’t be an enthusiast if I didn’t wonder about a Honda 5 cyl
yup, just like a honda literbike engine. high compression, lightweight internals, minimal components, efficient and unique design that revs high and packs a punch.
How they get away with 99mm stroke and 9000rpm? That is more than 29m/s piston speed. I always thought road racing engine should keep under 27m/s. I need explanation please.
They're so similar you can pretty much lump them together... F has a few fancier materials but otherwise mostly equal and a lot of parts swap between them with little to no modification.
Here in Canada we can get 94 octane from any old Husky that has 10% ethanol, or 94 on 0% ethanol at Chevron over in B.C. (it’s like $1.75/L last I went so bring cash lol)
Do you use ron or aki in canada for octane? Last time I was up there I didn’t drive so it didn’t matter. I’ve never seen anything higher than 93 in the states on the pump. It would be nice to have non-ethanol gas for my carbed bike but it is so rare.
what is the best chassis for a K24 swap? I have had a dc2r in the past, I own a ef8 crx now.. But I want a RWD platform, is a Miata a good option? what else can I use?

This guy looks like he is gonna start laughing at any second.
lol! I love Mike Kojima :D
Mussh Wins that’s a feature I wish I had
That made me laugh just by thinking about it!
He looks stoned af
Fuck yeah. Died laughing at this comment. Dig your civic. What specs?
Mike is like the Bob Ross of cars. His voice is super relaxing and his energy is very uplifting.
Dude's glasses are so jdm.
Digivolution 💀💀💀
His car headlights are also yellow 😂
This guy is so JDM
Lol yellow tints started in Europe, got nothing to do with JDM (overused so much it's lost its meaning).
So is this comment! 👍
This guy just blew my mind, wow. I’m amazed how happy he is with what he’s doing for a living. That’s freakin awesome.
Not sure if he's that happy or thats just how his face is. Maybe he's mad but he has a happy face? had a pretty monotonous voice lol
He's been involved with Hondas since the early days. I was surprised to see this and see that he is still very active in the scene
@@bbdetailing9123 for those of us in other parts of the world, who is The Guy?
Thank yoy
@@bluewanderer9903 Mike Kojima. He's been around since the early days of import racing, wrote some books and has wrote from various car magazines.

Imagine if Honda made a K series Straight 6.
Tyler Hand imagine... twin Kseries... joined at the crank 😶😶 all other will fear that thing
They built a v8 at one point.

Sounds like a sweet set up. Is the K24 crank a better balance for the F engine? Im curious to know why you preferred it over the F crank.
Mussh Wins the factory k24 Crank increased the stroke and made it a 2.4 Liter over the stock 2.0. It really gave it bottom end, my butt Dyno estimated about +50ftlbs. The F20 is rated at about 150ftlbs. So having 200ftlbs really made the S2000 fun to drive.
If I could just get one of those in my f23 block and bore to 87...
I'd hang out with this guy and listen to what he has to say. Awesome explanation for the metallurgical properties and the mechanical properties.
Loved the vid. Wish you guys would show some shots of the motor while it was being assembled as well as realtime shots of the components.
Keep smiling bro. we need more happy people in this world.
Mike's videos are some of my go-to ASMR things on RUclips.

Nickel is primarily used to prevent creep at higher temperatures. Not for tensile strength. That’s more steels department

I'm a B16A guy, but I swapped my cr-x back when you had to weld the motor mount to the engine bay directly.
This is the info we cali car heads need. This guy is a master mechanic
160hp per litre from a k20 is actually quite easy, one of my customers has 347 flywheel from a 2ltr with the right cams, rods an pistons on standard crank, all i do is change bearings an rings each season, but this will be season 3 so a new set of liners this rime round....
But EVERYTHING is cryo treated, then surface treated after 👍
This engine lives between 9500rpm and 11000rpm at every event, 16 events a year 😊
This is why I love K motors! We did this power on shit California 91 octane pump gas.
Hahaha. Dude. Remember when Mike tried to get Type R power out of the SR20 for a magazine.
Now he's making 300 with a K!
Technology is awesome!
Put it in the EP3!!! 👍
K24 also found in the Element!
Be nice to have some of that extra zip...
Island Aerial well it’s 164hp and 160lb/ft torque, not like the k24a2 with vtec on both intake and exhaust at 205hp 166lb/ft
he has a K24A2
My Lord, I wish this guy lived near me to help with a build! Very knowledgeable!
