2011 CR-Z K24Z7 swap
From memory,
Engine
Transmission
Half Shafts
Catalytic converters
Engine harness
Charge harness
Front brakes
PCM
AC compressor and lines
Air box with MAF
Shift cables
Battery sensor
And depending on model year Civic and CR-Z you might need the plug and pigtail for the body plug on the Civic PCM.
And the last part I am just now starting to toy with is the ABS module. This should be tuned to allow more aggressive driving and be tuned for the LSD to prevent traction control from stepping in so early. The pin out is different so it is not a direct bolt in.
Mine is still going strong. I have already put 35k miles on the swap. Not a single issue. I did buy replacement engine mounts for the CR-Z from Innovative. They are CR-Z mounts not swap mounts because I fabricated my mounts to use the stock CR-Z mounts. I would have gone Hasport if they made a CR-Z replacement kit. (Are you listening Hasport?) I am running the Hasport lower torque mount as I already had that. The Innovative torque mount left a lot of quality to be desired.

Hey Ryan 35k in and she’s still going strong! Maybe you could make me a set of mounts now that you have them that would be sweet. I have everything else besides the air box and MAF but that’s any easy fix have to double check if I have the body pigtail connectors for the PCM pulled from a 2014 Si .Can you pm an email to get in contact with you don’t know if it will go through with the new account.
Absolutley wonderful job. The way you did the wiring and made dash and everything work by custom desighning kit which even communicated with IMA system is pure genius.
So after K-swap CRZ/Fit if anyone is bored with the stock power and wanna turbo it, i have Turboed both my K- CRZ and Fit.
In this i will go in details about designing manifolds, Intercooler pipings, Fueling, PCV system,water cooling for turbo etc etc
1st episode is already out. i plan on positing one episode per week

Update time.
Picked up a partially complete Kraftwerks supercharger kit for a 9th Gen SI nearly a year ago now. With some help from a member here with a performance shop I was able to acquire the missing parts for the supercharger kit. Thanks!
So then I went EV and the CR-Z has just sort of been forgotten about. Mmmmm that EV torque, story for another day. But that supercharger just keeps reminding me to do something with it.
There was question about hood clearance in the CR-Z with a K24 and a blower so it was time to see if this is a feasible project or not. Time to bust out the 3D scanner!
Step one, make the gloss black surface to be scanned anything other than gloss black! Baby powder with isopropyl alcohol sprayed on works great!

Scan the hood and fenders and engine bay.

Scan the modified skunk2 intake manifold and the rotrex charger and combine them with the engine bay scan.

Then slap the hood back on and see if any supercharger parts poke through the hood.

Looks legit! Nothing poking through the hood!
But the AC suction line is going to be an issue. And the charge pipe off the compressor is going to be fighting with the radiator for space.

Maybe cut the flange off the compressor cover and weld on a cast 90 elbow to get the charge pipe turned before the radiator is an issue.

Anyway all that to say I think I will keep the CR-Z a little longer and see that the supercharger gets installed and tested.
Also if you or anyone you know needs a 7M-GTE powered 1990 Toyota Pick 4x4 I know a guy.

I think there is enough hard line there off the compressor to bend it out of the way and then crimp on a longer section of barrier hose to fit the new routing.
Those AC lines are already custom. CR-Z on one end and Civic on the other. Easy enough to modify when you have the crimp tool.

Hey Ryan all of your work is amazing! I have all of the parts for my Kswap in my 2011 CRZ and I was about to start the long process of can sniffing and building a repository of all the addresses and start trying to figure out what needed to be sent to the cluster to keep from triggering IMA lights. I just found this thread and it seems like you’ve already done exactly that lol. Do you offer sharing some of the information you’ve found for a price or do you sell something I can tie into the canbus that will send the correct data to the bus to eliminate the IMA correctly? My email is massairdirect@gmail.com.
