i just have some questions on swapping my 2002 base rsx. i know that the k20a2 is a bolt in and the k24a2. but im looking to boost so im going to keep the 5spd. i know the k24a2 has more torque but im looking for the easier swap because i cant have much down time due to work. i also wanna keep her dd with the ac and ps. hmotorsonline has the k24a2 for sale and i have heard good things about them and not to badly priced at 1900 but for the k20a2 id probably have to look on k20a.org. but not really the point just wanna get this done and start saving for the boost. thanks

 

oh snapppppp. i didnt know i could get a k24a2 long block tht cheapo. im gonna order next week and the cvr mount for my epp! and clutch. wwoottt.. anyone have kpro for sale?

 

k24a2>k20a2 why not, if you could get one thattt cheap. my friend is in the process of that swap on his em2.

 

for kpro check out k20a.org

 

i would like the k24 but is the ecu and everything the same? i know that the s is but idk about the k24

 

with whichever swap you do you should have k-pro


You can't run the TSX ecu you need a k20 ecu with kpro for the k24

 

can i used the a3 wire hardness? maybei\ i should go research it some more and yeah i know u deff need kpro

 

i read that after the swap is done you can take it in to a honda dealer and have them reflash the ecu and set it up for the redline and all that.

 

thats for the k20a2 im not sure about the k24

 

ayee bro i was looking to do a k20 swap on my em2. i have the whole rsx as a dono car, will i still need my ecu reflashed, or can i just do the sraight swap and call it a night.

 

Old thread but I'm in ..

I think I wana get a rsx base with a blown motor .. What motor swap it's the easier method to make the car run .
And cheapest ??

K24a1 or k24a4 .

Thanks

Albert .

 

same thing

 

Yes you can use the A3 harness.

 

just a heads up, that post was from almost 3 years ago

 

I know. But its a good thread.
So , its coming back to life .

And yes . I get the rsx base with a blow head gasket. uuuhhhh , uuhhhh

 

Just by the way . I got 2 type s swaps seating at my crip.

But I dont have that much to pay for a kpro.

I think, I only wana change the head gasket . And resurface the head .
Thats the cheapest I can do.
Or at less I can found a.good deal in something better .

 

dont matter people search and read through old threads

As far as which would be the easier swap k24a1 OR k24a4? Well the k24a1 would be my choice because you can do the rsx head swap easier. The k24a4 needs the pistons to be changed to do a head swap. Swapping them are the same into a Rsx. You need a Crv engine mount bracket on the passenager side. Change your crank angle sensor to the chasis crank angle sensor. Use your Rsx throttle body. Use all your accessories from the Rsx, the water pump, altenator, A/c , power steering, etc. Thats the basic swap covered. You would want a K pro to run it or else it would have cel light on and run light poo.

 

True , but man kpro it's expensive . As fck .

 

I got an k20a2 swap , waiting for my ep3 ,

But I just got this rsx base with blow head gasket , and I really wana do something with it , or just replace the head gasket.

Let me think about it ,

Any recommendations ???

 

yep

 

X 2

 

Man if it was me I would just fix that headgasket and ride it out for a while. Is it your daily driver?

 

Best investment I ever made.

 

Kpro should be the first thing you buy, not the last
