Default k24 bottom end/k20 head

im trying to figure out how to swap in a k24 bottom end into my 06 rsx type s. i want to use a k24a4 bottom end and my k20z1 head. i need to find out everything that needs to be done!!!! i thought i would be able to find out the jist of it just by searching on here and the internet in general. but its been a little bit harder than i thought. but i want to get any input, feedback, ideas from anyone who has done it or knows how to do it.
and if anyone knows the step-by-step basis on how to do it, or knows of a webpage or thread on ht that i havnt found yet.

and any other odds and ends that anyone may know that i may have to modify. such as "convincing" a motor mount to go in or anything like that.

I have a full k24a2 swap. It has the best compression of the k24's

well i've done 2 k24 bottom ends with k20 head. its not that hard.

First of all if you go with a k2a4 bottom end you will need to change the pistons if your going with a k20a2 or z1 head.

As far as mouting the motor its the same as a type-s for the most part. You just need to change the passenger side bracket out with one from a crv.

What do you plan on using it for boost or n/a?
