HAsport doesn't even have the mounts out for the k24 because I am looking into this swap too. Thye are correcting the mounts to clear with a JR supercharger on it although you still have to cut the hood for power steering.

Rep Power: 374 K24 Block+K20A2 head, ECU, & Tranny+JRSC=Already done. Hhahaahaah
Yes it had been done. It was swapped into a EP3. There was plenty of room for it. And from what I have seen and heard, you more room under the hood of a EM2 than an EP3.
Hasport is still working on the mounts for the K24 motor. The only thing I would be worried about is the K24 block being able to hold all that power at high RPMs. I have seen that the K24 with a K20A2 head starts dropping power off at 7300 RPMs. So it is pointless to take it to 8K. But with the added boost, it just might be too much for a Stock K24 Block.

i don't think the JR supercharger will fit in a civic with a k20 in it. The pulley seems like it would hit the headlight.

Heres a pic of Hawk's engine bay(if you dont' mind me using this)

Hawk has a K20A2 And the SI still has th K20A3 in it. That shouldn't make much of a difference. But you will be cutting it close. I think that you should clear it though.

Rep Power: 0 I agree with the headlight removal. But isnt the k24+k20 head= taller. The si engine bay is tall than the em2 engine bay. I think it is. Skunk2's drag rsx has that, muinus the supercharger.
