hey all, ive got a question... what all would be needed to do say a swap into a DC chassis with a k24 block and a k20 head (rsx-s head)? im asking this because i have access to the block, the head, the ecu, shift linkage, tranny, etc to put a complete swap together with.

now im asking this mainly because i need to know what is required for a swap, and how much money it might be worth, reasonably... a friend of mine who owns a shop has been badly hurt in an accident and we must find out in order to move some things out of the shop... any help would be appreciated.

thank you.

you can try asking kendall, i think he's doing a k20a2 into a dc2r. you can also ask b18cxr, he did a k24 with k20a2 head into and ep3. they may be able to give you some good info.

Get the current sports compact magazine. They have an article on it. I didn't get to read it, but I saw it at bookstore.

yeah, what oldbeefcake said...it goes real in depth on how to mate the head to the block (process, what is needed, etc.) but as far as putting it in a DC chassis, I have no idea?

thanks guys, im not looking to do it as i cant afford to... but as long as i get the idea of how much those parts are worth, i can help out a friend in need.

if u get a good price ... ill buy that k20a head =D ... i think thats what you're trying to do right? get the prices on those parts and see if u can sell em?

tspkenneth

oh yeah... if i get the head will i need a new intake manifold and headers? or will it come with it? OR could i use my stock headers and intake manifold? also would it be safe to stick with my 5spd tranny? i know i'll need the ecu and head... what else would i need?

...thats sport compact car mag. and they did cover the topic really really well. they explained all the details, required parts, and the install pretty well. the hybrid went into an ep3. but i think that hasport might make some mounts but im not fo sho on that. id pick up that issue asap if i were you. from what they said it seem like it was a really easy swap. just once you get both motors its simple. everything just bolts together. read it.

thanx

In one of the next two issues of Honda Tuning there is a swap article of a K24 with K20A into a DC2. I believe the next issue has the K-series primer with K series engine building facts and the following one has the install article on the swap.

Any details of the DC2s keeping AC, cruise control or power steering.?

From what brian has said in other threads, I think the DC2 has plenty of space for all of that.

Don't know about the P/S. Got a car that is going to try though.

I would think it would fit just fine. K20EG said he was able to get power steering to work in an EG with custom ps lines, and the teg seems to have more space underhood than the EG.
