Default My build plan.. What do you think?

Well I have an 07 civic EX coupe (FG1 5spd MT), and love it, but I am looking for more power. I don't have a ton of money, but enough to afford a swap. I don't really want to go through all the hassle of selling my car, buying a new one, selling all my parts, paying more on car payment, paying more on insurance, and other misc things. So I decided to come up with something else.. swapping my puny R18 motor with a k24 bottem and k20 top.

This is what I have come up with so far (I am not at my home computer so not everything is here)

-K24a2 bottem
-K20z1 Top
-k20z3 tranny (b.c it has lsd, and similar to the type-r tranny)
-kpro
-04 crv pass mounts
-02-06 oil pump

there is other stuff but I don't remember it all

What do you guys think? this will be going into the FG chassic.. How would I get the gauges to work? Would all the componets I have work together? Am I forgetting anything?

Please any questions you have please ask so I can figure out if I am missing anything, or there is something I don't understand

Thanks in advanced

why not use the k24a2 head?

the k20a2 and k24a2 heads have alittle difference between the two

Should be k20z1 head even though you probally know what I ment.. Anyway yeah I was thinking going with the k20a2 head, or maybe just a straight k24a2 swap, but I'm not sure.. depends on money really.. the z1 and a2 heads arn't really that much different in price. I havn't really compared the full k24a2 motor pricing to the frank k20/k24 pricing.

I'll get back to you on that one lol
