k24 swap questions.
Ok I have a CRX with everything setup for my k swap. Got the mounts in, the linkage, the axles are ready to swap in as well.
I'm trying to get this thing in and running as in expensively as possible.
I'm planning a K24A4 and a Civic Si 5 speed transmission until I'm done building an N/A Type S motor.
Is it possible to get the CRV swap in and running without a k pro?
If so what is needed?

thats what i would like to find out. i dont have the money for a kpro at the moment, and definitely wouldnt have the money to tune it if i did. besides its a waste to get an oem k24 swap tuned when im building a type s motor.

here you go man.
hey man. not to burst ur bubble but it is impossible to fit the k24 engine in the crx chassis, unless you bet the crap out of the sub frame and strut towers, which will make it a totalled vehicle if the insurence company finds out. if u were to get in a wreck nomatter whos falt it was you would get sued for vehicle neglegence. trust me, ive done my fair share of research. but their is a good side. i know ur wanting the power and displacement of 2.4l so heres the best thing to do to get the power, displacement, and size. since the k24 engine weighs a good bit more than the k20, you have to take in concederation about the steering concern. you might have oversteer problems. also you have to get a stiffer suspension. also the hydrolic clutch but u probably knew that part. and lastly the hood will need to be modified to fit the huge height difference from the d-series to the awsome k-series. but i hope that helps man. good luck. oh yeah i forgot to tell you what you can do. get the k20 block, k24 head, and get the k24 strocker kit and bore the block out for the 2.4l displacement. their u go man. any q's. hit me up.

yes k24's can fit in crx's the only difference is hood clearance. and ep civic si tranny's are 5 speed.

im not to certian if you can run the k24a4 without kpro just for the reason that the k24a4 is automatic and your running an ep3 tranny which is manual. Unless your using the ep3 ecu the i believe you may run without kpro

have you read hasport's or rywire's walk through? I'm not 100%, but I think you either need an ecu from a k20a or k20a2....and yes, a k24 WILL fit into a crx.

wow.. this thread took a dive quick.
unfortunatly, you are going to have to go KPRO. otherwise you are in for an immobilizer nightmare that i am not 100% sure anyone has sorted out yet, without using hasports $1000 crutch
if someone has info on how to get around the immobilizer without having the hookups at honda or going the hasport route, i am all ears.

i would agree with you on the thread taking a **** for sure. im by no means the authority on k swaps since this is my first one. But I've done more B swaps than I am old.
In with the new, i'm probably just going to swap in a type s motor with a hondata.

should be, but certian k24 sensors are different then the ones on k20's. this is the reason why i would go full k20 swap or k24a2 swap without the k20a2 head just for the fact that'll it'll be to much of a headache.

<3 Hasport...
...but I knew a k24 could be swapped, I just choose to ignore the ignorant comments made by those who have absolutely no clue what they were talking about.
I just needed some info on whether or not it can be done without a KPro.

is this swap k24a2? it looks nice, im waiting for my suspension before doing either the k20a2 or k24a2 swap into my ef8. but if anything you might use the k20a3 ecu for the time being just dont mind the CEL.

You'll need KPRO or k100 which is a reflash to run this motor of your's...
I was gonna run a k motor until i found out about ALL the little bugs...
BEST thing talk to Ryan rywire he should be able to help if its gonna be a street car...
But if gonna be a race car talk to Eugene @ PROSTREETIMPORT he just made like 306 whp on a NA set up in his crx and is doing 10.9 in the quarter mile contact 714 739 5683...
