whats the best choice in a k24a/k20a?

[Jums]

iv been researching about the k24/k20 frank and came up with several questions.. is the only thing different between a TSX's k24a2 and the CRV's k24a4 the cylinder head? are the k20a2 heads same as the JDM k20a heads? do u get more power if u destroke the 2.4L wen u put on the k20a head? if u were to drop that frank in, wat else do u need other than the gearbox, computer?

Search those import tuner websites. Here's a little hint though. k24a2 has vtec on the intake and exhaust cams, while the k24a4 has it only on the intake cam. k24a2's crankshaft and pistons are lightweight and forged.

And.... changing the head alone does not change your engine from a 2.4L to a 2.0L

lol yea i know that but som sites explains the benefits of a k20 head on a 2.4L block and on som sites it explains destroking the 2.4L into 2.2L givs u more power.

So why int he world would you want to buy a k24 in the first place just to destroke it to 2.0

If you read that guide carefully i gave you, you will see that doing a frank on a k24a4 will result in valve clearance issues.

The best frank setup IMO is a K24a2 with a K20a/K20a2 head. Im not sure on which trans would be best for this setup either.

it's like some people putting a b16 head with a b18 block.
