K-Series Engine and Tranny Info
The K series engines are all equipped with DOHC valvetrains with Honda's i-VTEC variable valve timing control. Honda made this engine a big improvement over its older 4-cylinder engines by including friction-reducing technologies to reduce parasitic loss. The K-series uses a DOHC valvetrain, which utilizes roller rockers to reduce friction. The VTEC system on engines like the K20A3 is only on the intake cam, and at low RPM when not engaged, allows the engine to function as a 12-valve engine, opening only one intake valve so that the air swirls for better combustion. This VTEC system was designed with fuel economy in mind. In engines like the K20A2 found in the RSX Type-S, The VTEC system always allows the motor to run as a 16 valve engine, and when VTEC engages, its on both the intake and exhaust rockers, and opens all 4 valves even more at high RPM The K-series motors all use DI, or distributorless ignition. It uses a coil on plug system, in which each spark plug has its own coil atop it. This allows the ECU to send the spark exactly when it wants it, and removes the need for spark plug wires. A wide variety of aftermarket parts are available for the K engines, and tuners are finding that 240 and more bhp are available with routine modifications.

Nice write up. One thing to add is that the K20A3's are also found in the 02+ base RSX's, although the EP3 has a different transmission, just in case you wanted to put that in there. Other than that, great job.

K24A3 is also in my '09 Accord. I /want a k20/k24 build so bad, but if I get rid of the car out of lease in October, not gonna bother; but if I am forced to keep it then, well, Frankenstein.
