k20/K24 questions

[sleepingK]

just wondering what the costs are and do they make mounts for a 01 civic i would like to do the type s head on a tsk block but if someone could explain what is needed and how it all works and the specs if someone has them thanks

[sleepingK]

sorry TSX block

The do have mounts for the EM. Hasport and I'm pretty sure Hybrid-Racing.com makes them.

As for the head swap, not really needed with the K24a2 motor. If you have a K24a2 block and just want to put a k20a2 head on it, that should work, but it's not much of an upgrade if you have the full long block K24a2.

As for what's needed, it's a long grocery list of parts. Do a search and you'll find a couple of EMs that have done the swap on here.

hmmm yeah im looking to build an engine and i was looking at the k20 head and k24 block....with that in mind would there be any advantage if i were to put the k20A head on the tsx or is it just a waste of money...?ive seen people posting about the head/block build but i can never understand it. cause i want to go all motor.
any info helps
thanks

They might be talking about the K24 from the Element or Accord with the K20a2 or K20a head (a2 would be my preference since they're readily available).

TSX is fine by itself IMO.

For all motor bolt on power, I like the K20a2 full swap. Nothing like running 12's all motor in a streetable car.

do you know what they cost??

Swap with axles, ECU, harness, motor and trans can be had for about $3400 shipped.

ur planning to put type-s head and bottom end k24 in a civic?

[sleepingK]

yeah i actually have a K24A1 bottom end and im looking for a type s head now
im putting it into an 01 civic...or thats what im planning

[sleepingK]

i did a little more reading and it was the crv motor i had in mind with the rsx type s head now i was wondering again what the advantages/disadvantages would be for this build.
now is it a better set up to go N/A or Boost? i found Hasport mounts for the K24 for my em2 civic and i have also decided to go K-pro. i would like to have it as an everday driver yet when needed, pull out the horsepower to blow away any domestic who points and laughs.i just need info/input of all and anykind of this combo feel free to say your opinions all info with be read with consideration
thanks
