Hey i have a 04 civic lx i was wondering if a K24a3 would fit in it. Im going to do this myself but i would like to know if it is remotely possible if it will fit in my engine bay. The engine will be coming out of a 04 rsx type s so it will be a 6 speed manual. Thank you for the help.

yep it will fit you just need to make sure you get the right mounts for it hasport and a couple of other companies make mounts for the swap search and you will find everything you need to know about swapping

I will need to replace the front axle right?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the RSX-S didn't come with a K24. Regardless both should fit, its more about hood clearance.

yeah, the rsx-s came with the k20a2.

if you stay 4 lug, then you need to pick up ep3 axles or base rsx axles. if you go 5 lug then you need the type s axles.

No where does it say that it is coming out of a STOCK rsx-s.

idk, i think it'd be really dumb to swap a k24 in in favor of a k20 unless u REALLY needed the torque.

lol. this statement is dumb.

HLC

lol, but you're starting off with a pretty good base with the k20. its not like you've got a d17 in there. i don't see why you'd go through all the trouble

lol, true. i love my k24. you could build a k24 for cheap. if you know the right people. legit.

HLC

of course, i'm just saying instead of spending that money to swap a k24 into an rsx, why not spend that money on boosting it. you'll have more than enough power in the end.
