The K20C is the 2.0 16V i-VTEC turbo of the Civic Type R FK8, the first boosted engine of the K family. Standard boost pressure already works the bottom end hard, and that is where a serious build starts.
Three part families are listed for this block so far. The remaining HONDA performance parts are grouped in the neighbouring engine categories.
RD1 is the first generation CR-V, powered by the 2.0 16v of the B family, in B20B then B20Z form. A simple, sturdy block, rebuilt for off-road use as much as for swaps.
This page currently gathers the WOSSNER forged pistons listed for that engine, offered in several bore sizes so a block that has been rebored can be followed.
A forged piston takes the thermal and mechanical loads a standard cast piston no longer copes with once power goes up. The other HONDA part families are grouped in the neighbouring engine categories.

We currently list a single family of parts for this engine:
Forged pistons take the cylinder pressure and the engine speed that a cast original will not accept. If you are after another family for this engine, send us the part number you need and how the car is used.
The J35A is HONDA's 3.5 24V V6, fitted to the Accord V6, the Odyssey, the Pilot and the Ridgeline. On a block of this capacity, the work starts with the bottom end.
We currently list a single family of parts for this engine:
A forged piston takes the cylinder pressure and the engine speed that a cast original will not accept. For another family on this engine, send us the part number and how the car is used.
The Accord III (CA) built from 1985 to 1989 is listed here engine by engine. Six engine pages open this family:
What we hold today for this shell is bottom end hardware: KING RACE tri-metal big end bearings supplied as a set of eight half shells, KING RACING tri-metal main bearings, and a set of thrust washers to reset crankshaft end float. Enough to rebuild an A20A or B20A bottom end properly.
The Accord V (CE, CF_, CD) built from 1995 to 1998 is listed here in two engine versions:
For this shell we hold bottom end parts: KING RACE tri-metal big end bearings supplied as a set of eight half shells, KING RACING tri-metal main bearings, and a set of thrust washers to set crankshaft end float. Tri-metal shells take loads a bi-metal original will not, and they are the first item to change on an F20 or F23 rebuild.
The Accord VI (CK, CG, CH, CF, CL) built from 1997 to 2003 covers eight engines, from the 1.6 D16B7 107hp up to the 2.2 H22A7 of the Type R at 212hp and the Euro R at 220hp.

Forged rods are the first safeguard on a tuned K20C: they take the boost pressure and the engine speed that the standard rod can no longer handle once torque is raised.
The HONDA CR-V I (RD), built from 1995 to 2002, uses the 2.0 16V B-series: B20B4 with 128hp or B20Z2 with 148hp. This page brings together the bottom-end parts we stock for both codes.
The B20B is the block of choice for a VTEC head swap: forged rods and tri-metal bearings are the two items that decide how the crankshaft survives once power goes up.
The HONDA CR-V III (RE_), on sale since 2006, is covered here through the 2.4 i-VTEC K24Z1 rated at 170hp. This page gathers the performance parts we stock for that K-series block.

A consistent set to make the cylinder head of a tuned 1.5 IMA reliable.
The first generation HONDA Integra (DA), sold from 1989 to 1993, is covered here across seven engines: 1.6 D16A3, 1.6 ZC (DA5 and DA7), 1.6 16V VTEC B16A (DA6), the 1.7 B17A1 of the Acura Integra GS-R, 1.8 B18A1 and 1.8 B18A2.
