Low Budget 2.4l Stroker Kit?
Hi, this is my first post here but I am no newb, this is James from www.bmcrace.com, honda-tech, homemadeturbo.com, and k20a.org.
For the K series guys it is a common thing to swap the f22 crank and rods in their k24 block so to destroke the engine a little and to give it a better rod to stroke ratio so they can spin it to some nice rpms. My question is can this be used to our advantage? I understand that inline pro uses a 99mm crank in their 2.5l stroker kit, 99mm is the same as that of a k24 whose bore is also 87mm, also inline pro doesnt say where they get the crank. I am just wondering if they do nothing more than buy honda k24 cranks and rods and just sell a custom piston for their kit. If this idea of mine is correct then you should easily be able to create a 2.4l by sticking with your stock piston and just using the k24 crank and rods for less than $600.
Please get back to me asap on this as I would like yalls info on this.
Thanks -James

ooo...the K24 crank finally comes about on the forum. It's been a while since I was told about it, but I don't think it's possible to use the OEM pistons and maintain a reasonable CR. The crank however can be used and I believe the rods as well. This is pretty much not something that's been tried too many times by other people.

Although it might not have been tried the crank should work and possibly with little modifications. Also according to this post on k20a.org http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t...light=f22+crank to use the f22 crank in the k24 block you must machine a keyway on the snout, so that the crank sprockets will index. Now you might need to slightly mod the k24 crank according to that if you wish to use it in a f series engine but I image it will be much cheaper to have it modded at a good machine shop than it would be to buy a inline pro stroker kit.

Now for issues the biggest risk is strength of the materials, both rods and crank, but really if you're going to pull the rod and crank why not get stronger ones while you're at it? May not be able to find a complementary crank but you should be able to find rods of varying sizes. The big issue is pistons, you'd still ideally like to use the stock ones with a stock blokc if you can.

here is a modded f22 crank to work in the k24 http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t...light=k24+crank by looking at this you might need to have these slots on the k24 crank welded up and resurfaced, balanced, and checked for straightness to use the k24 but the cost of it versus something else should be more than enough to confensate for the work that must be done.
