So the k24a1 is out of a crv correct? How much power can the crv tranny/clutch hold, without needing a new one.

first thats nice..
congrats !!!

now this may be a real stupid question, sorry for being dumb....

your running a K24 crv engine ..
which tranny are you using the crv tranny or a rsx tranny ?
how much modification did it take to get in, i mean it looks tight, was
it really hard to get in or was it the same as a k20 swap ?
also you used the hasport mounts for the k20, they obviously fit correct ?
and u used the si, rsx or crv subframe ?
did you swap out the axles too with si or rsx axles ?

sorry for all the questions thats just insane, and looks amazing...

5.0calypso93lx - Yes, K24a1 is a CRV engine. The tranny I am using is a Si tranny. I feel my clutch is slipping a little already, so stock clutch won't hold the power.

mndthegap1 - Tranny from Si k20a3.
It is a tight fit. You can't even put a finger between the IM and the front.
It is about the same as K20 swap, using Hasport mounts and everything. Only have to get the crv passenger? mount.
Using RSX subframe
Axles is from RSX-S

I used the rsx-s axles, you can use si too.
I had to order the bracket for the ps resevour to put it on the right. I don't want to wait, so I just zip tie it down.

i think a rsx-s head will put me into 300whp. Oh well right now I am running a street tune, kinda happy w/ the power. I am still waiting for clutch and flywheel, b4 I thrown it on the dyno.

Is the intercooler piping from the greddykit or custom made? I have a civic with k20a2 and planning on doing the greddy kit soon and hoping to have an easy FMIC solution.

nice!!!

I'm planning the same setup, but instead of a head swap I'm going get head work, and use cams from the k20a3. It should free up the top end quite a bit. I'm only shooting for 300whp and 270 Ft/lbs.
