K24A w/ 2012+ Si trans in 89 CRX HF general questions/advice, trying to order parts
Hey, so I don't think I'll have any issues running the 2012 and newer Si tranny with the Hasport EFK5 kit and JDM K24A RBB-2 but just want to make sure. I think there was something different about the cable brackets on the trans?
Also worried about my innovative pro traction bars hitting the crank pulley, hoping someone could shed some light on this. I don't know if it will hit, I need a different damper or worst case different/custom traction bars. Plan on having engine at lower height, the car is lowered but not much. Tokico illuminas, GC 330f 250r.
Next concern is the shifter box, can't decide between HR or Ktuned race. About $150 price difference in the boxes alone but it's all the other extras I'd need to get it working. I'd rather spend a bit more and do it right but not sure if I can afford it. Guessing total 1k for Ktuned and 500 for HR?
Anyone have header recommendations? Ideally something under $600. Just going to run I/H/E and tune on m5 fuel for now, don't care about low to mid range, mostly top end. Assuming I need a 4-1. Going to run a mandrel 3" exhaust with a massive magnaflow muffler lol hopefully help quiet it down.
Suggestions on cable to hydro? Would prefer an easier installation and deal with the stiffer pedal. Something reliable.
Believe the RBB-2 is based off the 06-08 TSX harness? So I'd need a Kpro setup for that year harness? It'd be great if I could avoid having to buy a $400 harness.
I'll do some research on what radiator to run, currently the stock full width HF radiator.
Not sure what else I'm forgetting, appreciate any help. Nervous about buying stuff and ends up being wrong. Generally I'd rather spend more and have it be a smooth install vs custom stuff. Just want it running asap with minimal headaches. Hoping to purchase everything in the next couple days, work is slow and I can take advantage of the shop, thank you!

Just found out 2012+ needs shift selector from an rsx type s, then needs to be drilled and tapped. Anyone know if an 06-11 Si trans would be a simple swap?

Going with a base or ep3 trans for now, will save for something from KMOD in the future.
