Rep Power: 350 He took a K24 block from a CRV and put a K20A2 head on it. The K24 makes more torque and he added the K20A2 head for Vtec.

Rep Power: 325 bc the k24 mounts differently which hasport is working on.. and a K24 can be rarer then a K20 bc drivers of the crv are usually more reserved then that of an rsx-s driver

Rep Power: 0 The K24 block uses a much longer stroke than the K20. That means at a given RPM the pistons have to move much faster to travel the longer stroke. This should limit the Maximum RPM of the motor. Also the weight of the Frankenstein motor should be pretty high relative to the original 1.7 civic engine. These may be pretty steep penalties. Nothing in life is free....

Rep Power: 0 I don't know. Being a taller block, I think you'd run into clearance issues. I mean, you have to notch the supports on the stock EM hood to clear the power steering pump (if I remember correctly) for the K20 to fit. Even if it's only an inch, how much work to the hood would you have to do to have the K24 fit?

Rep Power: 0 The K24 block is much taller than the K20. (The K20 has a square bore x stroke. The K24 has the same bore, but longer stroke.) That is why everyone has concerns about the fitment in our engine bay.
That is also the reason why HASPORT would be working on different engine mounts, to make it sit lower in the engine bay, so it would fit! (Not having the header piping going under the block frees up a couple of inches they can make use of.)
As far as the benefits go, you will definitely get much more bottom end torque (160 stock) but you will loose the ability of the engine to turn very high rpms, which means a shorter powerband. I don't think i'd want to make that trade for road racing. But it will probably be better for 1/4 mile runs.
