K24@em2.........
I have read in a couple of posts about "SOMEONE" doing the K24 swap into our little 7thgens. The only prob is I haven't heard anything about how its going. I know they have successfully put it in the EP3, with the only prob being that the K24 block was too tall (the car has a type s head on it). They fixed that prob with a good 'ole hammer......lol.
Does anyone know the progress of this. What tranny are they using, are they doing a straight K24 with no type s head. Are they using an accord engine,crv, element......
Does the DC5 tranny bolt right up to these K24's.......Thanks fellas....
edit: I found out the tranny does bolt up.

Rep Power: 0 The way I look at it is if it fits in the EP3 it should fit in our cars......
No one has spoken of hood clearance issues with the K20's, but I figured if the K24 block was to tall for the EP3 (not to sure if its too tall for the DC5 chassis too), it would be to tall for the EM2's......
I think this swap would be soooooo much cheaper, simply because of engine cost, thats why this person MUST be found.

Rep Power: 0 why would it be to tall??
it's supposed to be the same size as the k20 engine only bigger inside, also i read that when they did the swap on the EP they used the SI's tranny and it worked perfectly with the K24 engine.....

Rep Power: 0 the only clearence isseus i heard at the beggining was the power steering pulley did not clear the hood, but was resolved by just cutting a little piece of the inner structure of the hood....

Rep Power: 373 A guy on EPhatch.com swapped the K24 in his hatch. He had no hood clearance problems at all. He used the K20A3 tranny and ECU. Only thing he had to change out was the front motor mount had to be changed out to the K24 mount.
From what i have seen and heard, the K24 will have some Clearance problems with the hood. Hasport is making motor mounts that will make the motor sit just low enough in the engine bay to clear the hood. All of the other K-series parts will bolt up to the K24 block, heads, trannies, ect.

Rep Power: 0 When Hasport swaped in the k20a2 into the em2 chasis, they had to either modify the stock hood or get a aftermarket hood. The steering pump, I think thats what it was, was too high. A little modification to one of the support railings on the underside of the hood was needed to be shaved a little. I think the same would be true for the k24

Thats like the difference from a B16 and a B18 same block head and all just little different bore and stroke.

Rep Power: 0 Funny how a K20 head bolts onto a K24 block... Look up some information and read more carefully before you make an *** out of yourself by trying to talk trash.
K series block is a K sereis block.... Same how all B sereies blocks are compatiable.
Same how a Chevy small block is a chevy small block but you can have a 327,350,357,377,400 .....

^ yes without a doubt a k series block is a k series block..
how are you so smart?
anyway
K20 block is not the same as K24 block..
pistons are BIGGER. meaning the block is so different.
up in the top of the block it has the same bolts than any K series engine, also at the tranny side..
but K20 by no means = K24.
same as B16 - B18

Rep Power: 0 Let me clear up a few things.
The K24 does not hit the hood. The hood clearance problems Hasport experienced were with the supercharger. The taller K24 block caused the supercharger to contact the hood.
Hasport is coming out with a new right-hand mount for our K20 kit so that you can install the K24 into the 01 up Civics. I will perform the swap in a couple of weeks and document it so that it can be posted here.
The mount will be available separately for those who already have our ESK1 mount kit and want to install a K24, or as a complete mount kit part number ESK2. The release for the kit should be approximately March 15. Look for details around the end of February.

Different bore and stroke does not change the block....
If you do not understand that mabey i should draw a picture.
If you wanted you could bore out a k20 to be a 2.4 liter engine. it is really simple.

Rep Power: 373 How hard is it for you to understand that the K24 is not the same as the K20? Yeah the heads and trannys bolt on, just as the B series do. Ex. B20 with B16 head and tranny. But the K24 block is taller than the K20s. Its not the same block. Yes they make a kit to bore out the K20 to be a 2.4L, but its not the same as the K24 block and it no way easy. It cost about $5K for the kit. Must be real easy huh? 
lease:
K20A, K20A2, K20A3 blocks are all interchangable with parts and the head will bolt on to each one. K24 block is a different story.
