Default RSX type S heads on 2.4L block

I did a search and can't find this.

I wanted to know can the RSX Type S heads fit the 2.4L block?
Also where to find a RSX automatic ECU?

I've spoke with hondata about the tunning and needing RSX auto ECU. I've send and e-mail to "sig" about the head. I'm hoping it fits
Thanks guys

You don't need the ECU tuned.
My project is a CRV with the RSX type S head, 10.5:1 ross pistons, ITR cams, springs, Testpipe, Header, Intake, and from what I was told the RSX auto would be a better ecu than the stock.

I would think that fuel tuning would be needed for something like that and better shift points that the RSX would have.

Am I correct in saying that or not?

quick guess..i'd say 215hp/167tq....more important is paying attention to how fast peak tq arrives on the K24frank vs the regular k20a3

How much did it cost you to build and what parts/pieces are needed?

doesn't the K24 already have I-VTEC?.....its just a matter of which type of I-Vtec it has... The K20A3 would be the 160hp K20 right? Which means that head has the crap version of VTEC...with only two lobes on intake..and no Vtec on exhaust side?

try contacting hasport, they might not be "the first" but they will acutally tell you about it, instead of ploting numberless dynos.

I sometimes wonder why Jack even bothers to provide any information to the public.
With t00ls like you 'sanding his nuts to the ground' he should keep all of his info to himself. If you can do it better... feel more than free to do it. If not stop bashing.

The car is strong (good for mid 14's (in full trim) I would think) and that is all that matters.

Yeah- that Jack guy is a real tool
And you should see him try to drive. He can't keep it on the pavement.

so i got a question for the guys who did the k20a2 head on a k24 block.

there is 1mm of bore difference between the k20a2 head (86mm bore) and k24 block (87mm bore).

did you machine the head at all to adjust the quench area? or did you leave it as is hoping that the added quench area would help things in the CC?

also, what does that 1mm difference in bore mean as far as using rsx type-s or type-r pistons in the 2.4L block? I assume it can be done with custom rings?

Why not just get a TSX motor? Is it cheaper to build your own?
