yea. ANy header made for a DC5 will fit our cars perfectly. but you have a k24. there is a chance of the header hitting the front sway bar. you can always modify the header

the problem is that the head sits a little high.. so the header is brought up higher..

Strup race headers made some power, but the older ones like I have rub the engine mounts. They apparently fixed this problem with the newer headers, but with a frank I think the older would not fit at all and the newer may still hit, so I would stay away.

some good info in here. i have started to look up info and i at first did want to do a k24a1 block, k20a2 head, and then all other parts matched together to work. but honestly its so much to get all of that. honestly now im doing a k20a2 swap then build the head and swap when i can afford it.

and i do agree best way to learn all of this is research, i love k20a.org for this. i dont post but i read alot.

if you really want a k24 swap. i would suggest to do a k20a2 swap with all the parts... then buy a k24 block later on and build it. then swap the blocks out

Don't most people use the rsx-s oilpan and system cause it flows better? ( i remember reading a couple k24 builds but i cant remember it anymore)
Not only that, but the k20 pan is cast aluminum instead of the k24's cast steel piece, with the k20 pan being considerably lighter.
