K24 Block With K20A2 head swap review and intall

[pbplayer257]

why would i need to swap pistons? i wouldn't be changing any compression ratio or anything

Its called piston to valve contact. Same thing the old LS/VTEC's were plagued with. Read up on that link I posted.

ok guys, has anyone actually done this build on a G7 accord? The mechanical/parts bit I’ve got figured out, but according to Hondata, they don’t make anything for our accords. I thought that was odd because I’ve read posts from other people claiming to have K-Pro. I’m just trying to figure out how to make this work. I know our ECM won’t run the K20A2 head, so do we need to just run the PRB ECM with KPro and tune it accordingly?

I have a k24a2 block with a k20a2 and I also use kpro.  I have a custom CAN converter in my ECU to use a kpro'd EP3 ecu in my Accord.  It's a custom piece that an electrical engineering friend of mine made for me to keep using the Accord gauges and other accessories like a/c.  You're better off going with ktuner instead.  It's much easier to integrate in the Accord.

Ok so pretty much I’m going to have to run the K20A2 ECU with custom CAN converter? Do you have part numbers and where I can get them?

[timot_one]

That's not possible.  The CAN converter is a custom piece that you are not able to purchase.  The person that developed it for me has no interest in making more to sell.  There are only a handful of them that exist.

Buy ktuner. Plug and play

Yes, after talking to the guys at KTuner, thats the route i'll be going.  Just need an ECU from a 2005 and I'm in business because according to the chap i talked to, the Accord ECU is perfectly capable of running the k20a2 head. It'd just need to be tuned due to the increased air flow.  Time to get a shopping list started...

My tuner has been a big promoter of ktuner.  It seems to be a fairly solid platform.
