The honda crv and the civic are built on the same chasis. I am wondering why we cant swap in the 2.4 liter k20 into our civics? There is enough room obviously because the engine bays on the crv and civic are almost the same as well as the rsx.. What seems to be the swapping problems? Is it do to the fact that the engines are all backwards compared to ours? I mean yeah the header is on the back and the throttle bodie is on the side but thats no reason why it shouldent fit? Couldent crv mounts even be used in the process? Somone fill me in a lil on this one...

yep.. htowncivic talks about that here IB said it would be easier to swap the CRV engine into the civic.

First off, It's K24[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] Anyway, I would think there might be some clearance issues with the hood, plus you would need a tranny from an RSX or something since the CRV is either RWD or AWD. Other than that, It shouldn't be too hard.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Umm no i would change that over to so i would have an awd civic. And yes its possible and has been done countless times.

Not to step on anyones feet, but the CR-V comes either FWD or AWD not RWD and the new 2002 and up CR-V is avalible in a 5-speed too.

so if anybody has the money, they can use the k24 bottom end and use the k20 vtec head and transmission. right?

The problem with the K24 is the stroke. It is gawdawful long and would be difficult to hotrod. It would not stand up to the revs that the K20A head is tuned for. It will bolt up though. The thing to do though is use the K20A crank so that theengine can rev.

I read something in Hondatuning about swapping a K24 with a S2000 head. supposedly then you could have all the torque but with a higher redline.

According to the August/September issue of Honda Tuning, it is an easier task to swap the K20A2 from the RSX into the Civic by using the subframe from the RSX, as it simply bolts up to the Civic.
