K24 Frank Motor?

'Splain me this, Honda guys.

K24 frank motor is the 2.4 liter mill found in the CRV/ Accord. Bolt on the cyl head from a K20 rsx type S, and you get more displacement + iVTEC on both cams.

Where did the name come from?

My guess would be Frankenstein.

Yep.

Yeah, a piece of this, a piece of that...

My favorite K is a K24 variant.

There are a zillion variants. Most need a lower redline than a K20 due to the higher piston speed of a K24 but they have a much broader power band. Lots of torque. Well, compared to a K20.

I will have a K24 in an X1/9 but probably not a Frank. Something sorta similar to a VTec Killer but better.

What's a VTec Killer, you ask....?

A Miata motor with a turbo on it?

That's one of the variants!

Is it as simple as a head swap? From what I've head this could be better than an F20C, but I'm not quite sold on that

A K24 Frank Motor...isn't that what powers the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile?

somewhere out there in honda land is a chart of all the b/d frank combos possible with specs of everything you could want.
there are some pretty cool combinations

I think it's a tad more involved than that, but not a ton. I know you have to/should run an S2K oil pump, among other things.

GM LQ4 i think

The new Civic Si is basically a K24 Frank motor from the factory.
