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.

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.

Another significant difference between K-series engines is the alignment of the crankshaft to the center line of the bore. The K20C1 engine block has an offset alignment. [2] Engines that do not have their crank shaft aligned to the bore are known as Desaxe engines. On the K20C1 engine this allows the power stroke to have more leverage and less thrust waste on sidewalls.

Legacy

The Honda K-series engines have built a significant legacy, widely regarded as some of the most influential and celebrated four-cylinder engines in automotive history. The engine’s reliability and performance, coupled with its lightweight aluminium construction and chain-driven timing system, solidified its reputation as a benchmark in engine design. This engineering excellence made the K-series a revered engine amongst people, setting a new standard for four-cylinder engines. As a result, it gained widespread praise for being durable and tuneable, quickly becoming a favourite among car enthusiasts and professional tuners alike due to its potential to handle both everyday driving and high-performance applications. [36]

The K-series engine’s impact extends beyond factory specifications, with its wide adoption in the aftermarket scene. The K20 and K24 variants, in particular, are often used in engine swaps and high-performance builds due to their ability to handle and withstand significant power upgrades. This adaptability, coupled with their success in motorsports like time attack and drag racing, cemented the K-series as one of thegreatest four-cylinder engines of all time. [37]

The engine remains a benchmark from its long production run to this day, continuing to influence modern engine design and tuning practices.

The Honda Integra, sold in North America as the Acura Integra and later the Acura RSX, is an automobile produced by the Japanese company Honda from 1985 until 2006, and then since 2021. It succeeded the Quint as a more luxurious and sport-oriented derivative of the Civic. The Integra was one of the launch models for Acura in the US in 1986 alongside the Acura Legend. Throughout its production run, the Integra was highly regarded for its handling and performance. The 1995–2001 Integra Type R is widely regarded as one of the best front-wheel-drive cars of all time.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Honda Integra (fourth generation)</span> Compact sports car

The fourth-generation Honda Integra, produced by Honda, was introduced in Japan on 13 April 2001 and produced from July 2001 until August 2006. It was introduced in North America on 2 July 2001 as the Acura RSX, the name a part of Acura's naming scheme changing the names of its models from recognizable names like "Integra" or "Legend" to alphabetical designations in order for buyers to build more recognition to the marque, and not the individual cars.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">VTEC</span> Automobile variable valve timing technology

VTEC is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani. It is distinctly different from standard VVT systems which change only the valve timings and do not change the camshaft profile or valve lift in any way.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Variable valve timing</span> Process of altering the timing of a valve lift event

Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. There are many ways in which this can be achieved, ranging from mechanical devices to electro-hydraulic and camless systems. Increasingly strict emissions regulations are causing many automotive manufacturers to use VVT systems.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nissan VVL engine</span> Reciprocating internal combustion engine

Nissan Ecology Oriented Variable Valve Lift and Timing is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Nissan. VVL varies the duration, and lift of valves by using hydraulic pressure switch between two different sets of camshaft lobes. VVT varies the valve timing throughout the RPM range. Together they function similarly to Honda's VTEC system.

Honda Type R models are special performance editions of their respective model families.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Honda C engine</span> Reciprocating internal combustion engine

Honda's first production V6 was the C series; it was produced in displacements from 2.0 to 3.5 liters. The C engine was produced in various forms for over 20 years (1985–2005), having first been used in the KA series Legend model, and its British sister car the Rover 800-series.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Honda E engine</span> Former Japanese automobile engines

The E-series was a line of inline four-cylinder automobile engines designed and built by Honda for use in their cars in the 1970s and 1980s. These engines were notable for the use of CVCC technology, introduced in the ED1 engine in the 1975 Civic, which met 1970s emissions standards without using a catalytic converter.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Honda J engine</span> Reciprocating internal combustion engine

The J-series is Honda's fourth production V6 engine family introduced in 1996, after the C-series, which consisted of three dissimilar versions. The J-series engine was designed in the United States by Honda engineers. It is built at Honda's Anna, Ohio, and Lincoln, Alabama, engine plants.

Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology, which saves fuel by using the i-VTEC system to disable one bank of cylinders during specific driving conditions—for example, highway driving. The second version of VCM (VCM-2) took this a step further, allowing the engine to go from 6 cylinders, down to 4, and further down to 3 as the computer sees fit. The most recent version of VCM (VCM-3) reverted to the previous 3- and 6-cylinder operation.
