04 honda civic engine swap possible

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.

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

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.

Re: 04 honda civic engine swap possible

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

Re: 04 honda civic engine swap possible

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

Re: 04 honda civic engine swap possible

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.
