Honda K engine

The Honda K-series engine is a line of four-cylinder four-stroke car

engine introduced in 2001. The K-series engines are equipped with
DOHC valvetrains and use roller rockers on the cylinder head to reduce
friction. The engines use a coil-on-plug, distributorless ignition system
with a coil for each spark plug. This system forgoes the use of a
conventional distributor-based ignition timing system in favor of a
computer-controlled system that allows the ECU to control ignition
timings based on various sensor inputs. The cylinders have cast iron
sleeves similar to the B- and F-series engines, as opposed to the FRM
cylinders found in the H- and newer F-series engines found only in the
Honda S2000. A cylinder head from a Honda K20Z3. Components of the
i-VTEC system can be seen.
Similar to B series, the K-series car engines have two short blocks with
the same design; the only difference between them being the deck
height. K20 uses the short block with a deck height of 212 mm (8.3 in) where K23 and K24 block has a deck height of
231.5 mm (9.1 in).[1]

Two versions of the Honda i-VTEC system can be found on a K-series engine, and both versions can come with variable
timing control (VTC) on the intake cam. The VTEC system on engines like the K20A3 only operate on the intake cam; at low
rpm only one intake valve is fully opened, the other opening just slightly to create a swirl effect in the combustion chamber
for improved fuel atomization. At high engine speeds, both intake valves open fully to improve engine breathing. In engines
such as the K20A2 found in the Acura RSX Type-S, the VTEC system operates on both the intake and exhaust valves,
allowing both to benefit from multiple cam profiles. A modified K20C engine is used in motorsport, as the Sports Car Club of
America Formula 3 and 4 series that run in North America both use a K20C engine, with the Formula 4 engine not having a
turbocharger. These are gaining a following in the import scene, but also among hot rodders and kit car enthusiasts, because
they can be put in longitudinal rear wheel drive layouts.

Additional notes

K20A Spec R engine (FD2 Civic Type R)

Chromoly flywheel, higher-tensile strength connecting rods, high-compression pistons, stiffer valve springs, higher-lift
hollow camshafts with more duration, and 2007–2011 cylinder-head intake-port and exhaust-port surface polishing used
in NSX-R.[11] The JDM K20A type-R engine block would be removed from production assembly line by an experienced
Honda engine technician to torque the connecting rod bolts to factory specification by hand using micrometer to measure
 connecting rod bolt stretching. Then the JDM K20A type-R engine block would be returned to the production assembly
line to complete the engine building process.

K20Z3 (as fitted to Ariel's Atom 3.5)

 It has an aluminum block with an aluminum head. The K20Z3 has Honda's traditional performance VTEC (as found on
previous generation of engines) on the intake and the exhaust cams. Variable cam timing technology is included on the
intake but not the exhaust cams. The added timing control corresponds to the added "i" in i-VTEC.

Additional notes

This version of the K engine uses a Mitsubishi TD04HL-15T turbocharger with a dual path turbine housing, optimizing low
end response while allowing better high end flow. Maximum boost pressure is 13.5psi. The engine includes i-VTEC and
VTC technologies and comes mated to a version of Honda's 5-speed automatic with SH-AWD (note: SH-AWD was
standard from 2007-2009 and optional from 2010-2012).
