k24a

Why is a K24a cheaper than a K20A2?

Does it swap just as easily?

Does it weigh a lot more than a k20a2 ? take up too much room?

ohh thought you meant k24a lol my bad....
k24a!! it has more torque than the k20 and it can't fit in our engine bay though I believe. no ones made the mounts yet? so I have heard....
so negative on the fitment so far.

The K24 block is 3/4" taller than the K20 (accomodates the 101mm stroke vs 86). Supposedly using HAsports K20 mounts, it hits the hood. Never seen it done, so I dunno. You can fit a K24 right into the Si, that I've seen pictures of.
Also not sure what a K24A is. K24A1 is the CRV engine, K24A2 is the TSX motor... its throttle by wire, thats a big complication, and the K24A3 is the Accord engine.
And they're cheaper because there's more of them.
Theres talk that HAsport is working on a separate K24 kit so the engine clears the hood.

Will the price of the k20a2s drop in your opinion? or is it not likely. I look at the old type R engines and there still over 4 grand US.

IMO, no they're not going to drop in the near future. The swap is now possible in any Civic all the way back to the EF chassis (1988+).
All those cheap cars + Increasing B series VTEC motor prices (the supply is now fixed), mean there's gonna be more demand for the K motors.

HondaLuver will become famous soon enough
you can put the tsx k24 in, you just need to get a si, type S or R tranny because the tsx or crv tranny will not fit. with the TBW, just get another TB. with a wire system.. and change your ecu with kpro... other than that it should fit

mig is an unknown quantity at this point
briang(hasport) is currently doing a JRSC K24 in his 7th gen. I'm guessing he's going to end up with over 250hp/250tq to the ground. Will be my route if it comes together well.
