I'm just wondering if there are any differences between the TSX crank and the Accord cranks in the K24s. There is a huge price difference between the two and I need a K24 crank for a stroker motor that I'm building for an S2000.

Obviously, I know the stroke is the same for both but I'm curious if the TSX one is more balanced or something? It's much more expensive than the Accord one. Or maybe it's just part inflation based off of brand?

If anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appreciated.

It's balanced and coated from the factory, the only difference I think.

Awesome thanks. Any idea on the cost of getting an accord crank balanced?

$150.00 , @ Laskey

they are all balanced, or else they would not be able to survice 200-300K miles on a stock honda car.. There is no real difference... the 2006+ tSx and RDX crank have a little bit more beef between the journals but it doesn;t really matter

Good Question! And great answers. I was wondering the same thing, not to build an S2K engine, but for general knowledge. This site is the shit.

Yes they are all balanced, but to different ranges of RPM, or maybe I just saw a couple of accord Cranks that were crooked.

I'm pretty sure most of them have the same part number as well.

The TSX crank is beefier, has different shape to the counterweights and balanced for the different weight pistons and rods for that engine, plus they have a coating of some sort, almost black(very dark grey).

So will I notice any difference in reliability between them? The motor will "only" be revving to about 8200.

You will be fine.

I took a K24A1 and a K24A2 crank to the balance shop, the A2 crank had FAR less deflection at higher RPM's. Less deflection = stronger

Would the 06+ TSX crank still be usable in other K24 blocks if matched up with the right bearings?

Yes. You can use it in a K20 block even, just have to notch the cylinders and get custom rods :up:

which year a2 crank?

 

[6spd_EK]

RDX crank is .2 lbs lighter than 04-05 tsx

Sorry, might be my english... but, what do you mean with notch the cylinders?
