I say K24 block with the K20 head from the rsx type s. Look at Hondaluver he's getting some nice hp numbers. K24 I believe is cheaper check K20A.org or k-series.com for more info.

the type R in japan is a k20a and the Type S in the US is a k20a2. The k24a2 is in the tsx and the a3 is in the crv i think. The k24 is more designed for torque, but the k20 head is interchangable then the k24 block. Some people say the k24 has more potential because its a 2.4L vs 2.0. If you get a k20 head and tranny with k24 long block you have the potential to be faster then the k20a. Some's already done a k24/k20 frankenstein with sucess just do a search.

Big Rob has a little shameless behaviour in the past
With all of the money that people in this forum seem to have, I'm surprised that everyone owns a civic and not a sports car. Not that I'm against the civic. I love my 03 ex

you should try to find a doner car. Find an RSX which has been totalled from behind, so the engine is intact. That way you get all the miscellaneous parts which will add up to a fortune if you buy them new.

If you've got the money, K20, if you want to get things for a bit cheaper (at least parts/block) and don't mind all the custom and prefer more of a challenge K24.

Can't do it. It doesn't matter if he has an automatic right now or not, he has to swap all the components anyway.

If I do the K20 in my car I'll need everything inside the RSX bay or can I use my stock tranny?

Dude, common sense.


Your tranny is D-series. You need an RSX 5 or 6 speed tranny to bolt onto the K-series engine. You can't use a TSX tranny because of clearance issues, I think. Someone checkup on that.
