This should be absoloutley EVERYTHING you need to complete a K20/24 swap, Minor variances will be there as this list is meant for an EG only because It's what I own :silly: However it should be 95% of what you need for EK/DC2 aswell.

That should be it, Correct me if you see something wrong. Hopefully this stops all the "Zomg what do I needz" posts...

you can either get the adaptor or use a rsx radiator that has the 2 ports already on them for the 2 sensors you need to install

or you can use a b/d temp switch here & put it here


& with k-pro you can have it turn fan on at a certain temp

Hmm. I just bought a base RSX alternator (Mitsubishi) for my swap. I just looked and it'd different from the Type S's. I just bought a 2006 Civic Si motor. Both the Civic Si and RSX-S appear to use the same Denso alternator (different part #s though).

So, does this mean the alternator and starter aren't interchangable? I'm a bit concerned now.

alternator & starter should work from any K-series (base or type s) i have a starter if you need it - cheap, new & OEM k20z3

edit yes you need everything in the list above & maybe more

what mounts are you using? hasport ekk2 mounts require use of eg crossmember, steering rack & lca's if i remember correctly
