hey i was wondering, since you can get a k20 in a 01 Vic almost with no problems, then can you get a k24 in with some mods. i found a CRVs motor at a place where they sell used motors and parts. its very cleen in a warehouse and isnt selling cuz noone needs a k24. but i would like to buy it cuz my friend works there and he can get the 02 motor for only $700. thats a damn deal.its $1300 if you arent employed there. let me know if its possible. tnx.

yeah i just needed to know if it was possible without it having to become a major project. a swap and a little cutting is what im looking 4.

sure it can be done......k24 block with a k20 head. It is called a frankenstein. Talk to HondaLuver......he was gonna do it, he researched and knows alot about it.

so i wouldnt be able to just get the motor hook it up, motor mounts changed and all the good stuff. i would need to get k20 heads?

you would have to get custom mounts and sub frame made, you don't need to do a k20 head swap, but the k20 head is vtec where the k24 is not. its kinda like how people used to but b16/b18 heads on b20's. just a new generation of tuning. alot of pro racers are running k24 w k20 head.

do it. they have a super charged k24/k20 eg hatch ... I'm sure they can put on in an em2

use enjo mounts, unless you want to wait for hasport mounts in a few months
its pretty much straight up like the k20 swap just diffrent mounts...

Along the same lines, since the K24 is a taller block and if you wanted to start with just the K24 and later swap the K20 head, I was curious if the EM2 hood would be able to close with the K24 in it. I know you already have to notch the hood for the power steering to clear.

yes with the enjo mounts
, and when you change heads it does not change the height of the engine

i thought k24's where vtec i now the k24 from a tsx i had was vtec i just put a k20a head on it because it flows alot better. it hauls. i had it in my civic em2 for about two months and i slide and put it in a ditch because of the f***ing snow but i got some insurance money and my new project is underway

Aren't all swaps a pretty big adventure?

K24 Vtec is only available in the TSX. It has been said that you can use this head and then use a Type-S intake and throttle body to make it work.



Ok, I thought the head height was different between the k24 and k20, so then really it's only the block that's taller and not the head.

All K series have VTEC, as well as VTC.
