Icon2 K24 K20 Vtec help

Hi everyone, I would appreciate any help you can give me. I recently bought a 2002 Honda Civic Si Hatchback with a stock K24A1 out of a CRV with the CRV's stock computer (with the original 02 wiring harness). My car also has a RSX 6-speed transmission. I am planning on buying a K20 Vtec head off of a RSX Type S, and a RSX stock computer. A few questions I want to ask are... Will a RSX computer be able to power the vtec in the K20 head and the rest of the engine components? Adding on to that, I was told about getting a K pill installed on the computer; What K pill should I have installed? Do I need a Vtec conversion kit? Is there anything I am missing to make this project happen?
Thanks for the help

KPRO not kpill. Kpro is a tuning program so you will be able to tune your engine safely. You will need it to make that k24 run perfectly.


Also you can't swap the k20 head on the k24a1 without changing the internals or you will have piston to valve clearance issues.
