The Honda Accord 2018 (T2N) 2.4 K24W engine is part of Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology family, offering improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and a smooth balance of power and refinement. Here’s a detailed description:

Engine Overview

• Engine Code: K24W
• Type: Inline-4, DOHC i-VTEC, Earth Dreams Technology
• Displacement: 2,356 cc (2.4 liters)
• Fuel System: PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection)
• Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
• Compression Ratio: 11.1:1
• Block Material: Aluminum alloy with cast-iron cylinder liners
• Cylinder Head: Aluminum alloy, cross-flow type
• Valvetrain: 16 valves, chain-driven dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) with i-VTEC (intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control)
• Bore x Stroke: 87 mm × 99.1 mm

Performance

• Max Power: ~173–185 hp @ 6,200 rpm (varies by market and tuning)
• Max Torque: ~225 Nm (166 lb-ft) @ 4,000 rpm
• Redline: ~6,800 rpm
• Drive Type: Usually paired with FWD configuration

Technical Features

1. Earth Dreams Technology – optimised combustion and reduced internal friction for better fuel economy.
2. Direct Fuel Injection – precise fuel delivery for more power and efficiency.
3. i-VTEC + VTC (Variable Timing Control) – adjusts valve lift and timing for smooth low-end torque and strong high-rpm power.
4. Balance Shafts – integrated to reduce vibration for a smoother ride.
5. Lightweight Construction – aluminum block and head reduce engine weight.

Transmission Pairing

• Often mated to CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or 6-speed manual in some regions.
• For Malaysian and ASEAN T2N models, it is mostly paired with a CVT.

Applications

• Honda Accord 9th Gen facelift (2016–2019) – chassis code T2N in some ASEAN markets.

Visual Identification

• Top cover: ''Earth Dreams Technology'' printed on black plastic engine cover.
• Intake manifold: Composite plastic, front-mounted throttle body.
• Coil-on-plug ignition with 4 individual ignition coils.

If you want, I can also give you a full parts layout description for the K24W so it’s easier to identify each component when looking at the engine bay. That’s especially useful for half-cut or spare part reference.
