No, "I" or "we" didn't, we are cleaning up the mess now, or better yet, trying to. And yes, it is bent, of course not in a way that most people would believe a bent crankshaft has to look like. At some stage the crankshaft was exposed to ca. 320hp in combination with (we assume) detonation. Consult my earlier posts for other possible reasons.

320hp is no problem at all, at least it shouldn't be, as we have had that before with other f20c. Even more than that in several cases, when you add an extra problem though it may well be way too much.

Honda engines are tough, no doubt and I am a fan, yet even these weren't built for eternity and they have their limits.

 

Point being if you want more power, check out the F27c/106mm stroker kits...I hope that's understandable

Thanks, Justin!! Who has them? I have tried to search the forum for any thread(s) dealing with stroker kits but haven't had any luck.

It has tons of torque, and useable power without even doing headwork and head upgrades

stock honda k24 cranks have been proven time and time again to hold up to serious abuse.. also you can get them brand new for about $300

The cheapest way to get into a 2.4 stroker is to use the oem crank, inline pro rods and wiseco pistons with dry iron cylinder liners, or you can use off the shelf Mahle pistons in the stock sleeves.

 

Thank you very much, Justin!

@wadzii, do you have a source for a new reasonably priced k24 crank? In germany the market is a bit dry and sources are not that plenty. All sorts of VW parts are readily available though.

Great input everyone! Thanks again!

 

You don't have Honda Accords in Germany?

 

We do, of course! Yet a new crankshaft for a fair price is hard to get. Honda's asking 1000 Euros + for a new one. Certainly we could buy a used k24 block but that's not much cheaper.

Now I hear they can be bought for usd 300 in the US, tempting, but where exactly?

Thanks!!
