From i-vtec.net:
Same treatment could be done on a K20a3, but revved higher for a little less power...
Good stuff... who's gonna be the first to take the plunge?
Hello everyone,
Due to some very interesting developments recently, I feel the need to share this with all of you. These past few years, through the research and development of K series motors, we have all seen that the 300 whp mark is not as hard as it used to be but requires special parts working together etc… Most of the spotlight has been on the K20a motor and the 99mm stroke of the k24a block etc.. The ‘NON VTEC” k24a stock motor has not been given too much attention because of the ‘non vtec” head that utilizes one lobe cams and no variable cam timing… Basically, I am talking about the stock motors out of the US 4 cylinders Accords, CRVs, elements. These are the motors we usually dissect in order to mate the block with some k20a2 or tsx head etc…
There have been a few head porters like Brad from RLZ for example, that did flowbench the Accord head and found that in stock form ,it flows almost as good as a really well ported B series head… But that is pretty much all the info we had on these heads and motors… Well until now…
Because of my k20a.org forum , I have been lucky to have developed contacts in the Honda related industry.. Some of these people are closer than others but overall, sometimes I get to hear about projects or news that most people do not hear about.. So I cannot disclose my source, because I really value my relationship with other manufacturers and I do not wish to put that in jeopardy. So please just take it as what it is.
Project begun with a bone stock k24 accord engine which baselined at 165hp/160tq on an engine dyno.
With ecu tuning and a custom header it made 195whp .
With type-s intake manifold, type-s T-body and a custom cam (to be produced at some point) it made 230whp
Then they ported the head and milled it .040 for more compression and made 250hp (at 7200rpm) and 200+ TQ . Stock pistons with shallow relief, in fact stock bottom end including the oil pump with balance shafts and stock valve springs.
So here it is… Thanks for reading!

PS There are almost 1.5 million of these motors on American roads today.
-Taken DIRECTLY From K20a.org. This is HUGE news. These motors are easily availble for under 2k. The simple addition of cams and the efficient race header makes these nasty. Ive been praising these all along. No need to spend a rediculous amount of money on an a2 if all you seek is 250 whp and 200wtq.
