Came home and found a turbo sitting in my garage...


Im going to have to reweld the exhuast flange on the downpipe because it has a 2.5" 4 bolt flange and my garrett gt3582r has a 3" 4 bolt.

Yes the tranny bolts straight up to a k24a2.

Yes you will need a K-pro to run the engine correctly your car.

As far as other things you would need...

1-> a good tuner

2->Maybe a fuel pump upgrade and fuel system upgrade.

Doing some fitting to see how my downpipe is going to fitt with the new flange I have to weld on there. Its has a 2.5" 4 bolt flange right now and I need a 3 " flange.

Also doing some fitting for the battery box in the trunk to make more room for the intercooler piping.

I am gathering parts for my K24a2 swap in my ep3 and I plan to keep the 5 speed tranny, is there a cluth+flywheel combo to use or just a k24 kit will work ?

Thanks, and BTW nice write up and nice project.

I got a Rsx type s clutch kit with a rsx type s flywheel. Theyre interchangable.

Still waiting on my Hybrid Racing throttle body on backorder. It suck, people should just keep making products if they are in such a high demand. Dont be slacking on me Hybrid Racing I need that throttle body now.

K4nuck

and you are using the ep3 tranny right ? (just making sure because I am ordering the parts today).

turbohatchBnuts

Yea im using the stock Si 5spd transmission. I used my flywheel bolts from the k20a3. Also I used the clip that goes inside the crankshaft to line up the transmission shaft.

The motor I got was out of a 2006 TSX automatic.

Nice build so far!

Still waiting on a part that was on back order. My 70mm Hybrid Racing throttle body. Kinda need that so I can port match my RRC intake manifold. I should have it sometime after the 20th that when they said there next batch of throttle bodies would be ready. Once I get that Ill go ahead and put the intake manifold on and do the fuel return conversion along with the walbro fuel pump.

reading the thread wondering if i can use the accessories of my ep3 and put on my k24a4 such. doing a swap myself

turbohatchBnuts

If your putting it back in an ep3 then you will have to do that. You will use the crank pulley, altenator, a/c , and belt tensioner. I also used the type s water pump, but you could just use the ep3 one. I just wanted an oil cooler.

Got the old welder hooked up again...time to do some welding.
