Im building a K24 and looking at the huge oil pump and drive shaft assembly for the balance shafts. Its ugly, its useless and I dont want it. So I pull a RSX oil pump off the shelf and lo and behold it wont fit. So I modify it!!!!
Now with the K20A2 pump (modified internally for better flow) new drive chain and windage tray Im ready to go! Oh and the motor weighs about 9 lbs less BTW. Losing rotating mass is never a bad thing.

So are you going to be selling modified K20A2 oil pumps?

I would certainly modify some for people.

do you know if there is any difference between the K20a2 and teh K20a oil pumps?

 

[PapiTuyo326]

nice work!!! I might be interested in having you mod an oil pump for me...


clean looking motor too!!

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

Im not sure on that one. I have yet to get my grubby mits (see above photo) on a K20A pump. If anyone has one that they would like to split apart in the name of science and post pics I would appreciate it.

So what do you do to mod yours? split them apart and put them back together?

Send it! I think you have my address still from when you sent me this motor.

No, I port the inside of it for better flow and modify the pickup so it can suck more in. Its easy to do if you have the right tools. (head porting and polishing equip.)

good job ghandi, care to explain details on the motor setup it looks very interesting unless you made another thread with details you care to link to?
and what are you planning to boost that block? care to share details on the intended setup of the motor?

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

I will start a new post when it is done. With pics of everthing. The owner is very tight about giving out too much information. But when it is done there wont be any secrets held back. Stay tuned.

I am actually building 2 right now with very different setups and goals. It is quite fun. I will post both results in a few weeks when they are on the road and tearing up tires.

well i am goning to try and buy a K20a pump off of chameleon, so maybe I can just ship it to you, for you to do your magic and post up some findings for us... :up:

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

Cool, let me know. Im interested to see if Honda had any tricks up their sleeve for the K20A oil pumps.

for some reason I doubt it, I have seen the R motors die from similar oil problems as all the other K's...

 

[chameleon]

yeah they all look the same to me unless the internal gear is bigger or something. but let me know i can ship it directly to ghandi to kill 2 birds

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

I really dont think they are any different either, but you never know.

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

Oh BTW I havent tried to fit the TSX oil pan yet. This engine will probably get the RSX pan and baffles but I want to find out if both pans will work the same. Just for future reference.

that will work for me... :up:

I also want to know that. As I am going to be installing the R pump on my TSX and would preffer to retain my TSX pan...

SO all that is needed is the pump and the chain? and possibly the pan?

 

[HONDA GHANDI]

Pump, chain, and windage tray. The pans are interchangable.

the windage tray is the oil pan correct?
