K24 frank motor is the 2.4 liter mill found in the CRV/ Accord. Bolt on the cyl head from a K20 rsx type S, and you get more displacement + iVTEC on both cams.

Yeah, a piece of this, a piece of that...
My favorite K is a K24 variant.
There are a zillion variants. Most need a lower redline than a K20 due to the higher piston speed of a K24 but they have a much broader power band. Lots of torque. Well, compared to a K20.
I will have a K24 in an X1/9 but probably not a Frank. Something sorta similar to a VTec Killer but better.
What's a VTec Killer, you ask....?

A Miata motor with a turbo on it?

Is it as simple as a head swap? From what I've head this could be better than an F20C, but I'm not quite sold on that

I think it's a tad more involved than that, but not a ton. I know you have to/should run an S2K oil pump, among other things.

The new Civic Si is basically a K24 Frank motor from the factory.
