I was reading my magazine that I get.. either sport compact or import tuner did a k20 swap thing, and said that the k20 mounts will hold the k24... I would like to know more about this..

Hasport said that they were making a kit for the k24.. but why would they make a kit when the k20 mounts work..

If anyone else read this, please chime in.. I'd like to know..

1 reason $$

well cause the k24 is a taller block, their k20 mounts are modified to lower the motor a little for hood clearance...
since the k24 is taller, they need to calculate the mount positions so that the hood can clear the motor without issues

ah, sounds like a good reason to me..

I heard the mounts for the EK will work with both. Not for the EM2 aka our cars

ahh, that may be the reason.. dude, it seems like the swap for the ek was ALOT easier than the swap the em..

I'm gonna cry if I find out this is true..

Not really, they haven't even figured out how to get powersteering with the K in the EK, you have to have completely custom axles, can't use the RSX or the Civic SI ones, and the wiring sucks hardcore too

But for some peeps any swap is easy, I wish I was one of those people
