Why the Honda K20 is the Best Engine Ever

Показать описание

Here's a look inside the Honda K20 engine and how it works!

The Honda K-series has long been regarded as the best balance for both performance and reliability. It's used in pedestrian cars such as the Honda CR-V and Accord, while performance variants are used in the Civic Si and Acura RSX. What makes it outstanding is its fun-revving nature, sturdiness and its ability to be modified by the aftermarket community.

The K20-A3 torn down this video is from a 2004 Acura RSX with less than 200,000km. This version has i-VTEC (economy) and VTC on the intake side only. Other variants of the K series can be built using K20 and K24 parts, which are interchangeable, yielding builds that are capable of 400HP! The K20 uses a square bore to stroke ratio and forgoes the balance shafts inside the oil pump assembly that the K24 has.

10:15 always enjoy seeing the pristine shiny condition of the oil pump that spent its life immersed in oil, no explosions, no force

Fun fact: The reason many Honda engines are laid out in the opposite way to most front wheel drive cars is that - they are designed from the outset to be right hand drive cars (because they drive on the left side of the road in Japan) so for crash safety reasons the biggest under bonnet component is placed ahead of the passenger seat (which is occupied less than the drivers seat) - this is why they put the engine on the left and the (smaller) gearbox on the right (in front of the driver). Later iterations of the Honda engine saw this trend reversed, as they fell in line with the majority of front wheel drive car layouts, designed in countries where they drive on the right, and the driver sits on the left of the car (ie: Europe). Thanks for coming to my TED talk 😊

Crazy how well designed and made that k series is. Roller rockers. Ladder frame. Beefy crank. Good oiling system. I bet they can be boosted to give a ton of power.

4 years since I started watching your videos, I still love them. Thanks 👍
If it ain't made in Japan, don't even think about it!

Those metal chain guides are better than those milk carton ones found on Mini Coopers

Honda should have kept with their NA high revving high output/litre engines rather than the turbo crap they have now. They are beautifully elegant strong engines 👍

Fun fact there is a K20C engine variant that is still port injected!

It's the K20C2 found in the 10th and 11th gen civics. It's 2.0L in displacement as the name suggests but is a naturally aspirated motor with VTEC on the intake. Very stout motors, and go for relatively cheap. I'd love to see you tear one down and hear your thoughts!
