Forum: Ep3 Swaps only

First off thanks Skoundrelusa for saving the contents of the thread! This is also a good time to add a few things to the thread since I have had many questions regarding the same questions. Here is a informative thread for anyone considering a tsx swap, and I hope it will be sticked. I went...

Normally I would agree that a stage 4 is overkill for a k24a1 with prc intake manifold, injen 3in intake, krrh, 06 type-s midpipe and stock axelback, tuned on k-pro. But I really hope to supercharge it somewhere down the line and add meth or nitrous so it would be worthwhile but that could be a...

I have a k24a1 block what should I do? I have a xspower turbo

Does anyone know what exhaust system setup will fit in a k24a1 swapped ep3? I have heard that a lot of setups will not clear the front sway bar. I would like to have the front swap bar in place but if there is an aftermarket bar that would allow more clearance that would work too. Just let me know...

IM looking to juice up the ep.......im up for any ideas, i want to go all motor. give me the list of watever is needed for the swap.:mcool:

Hey folks, been some time since my last post. New kid, new job and new house I'm finally getting around to tinkering with my ep which has been mostly garaged for the last year or two. I'm working on swapping a k24a2 head on my a1 this fall, it came with what I am told is a K20A intake and a z1...

Like the tittle says, I'm looking to see if the fact that the TSX engine is from an Automatic car has any kind of impact on the swap. I doubt it, but I just want to make sure. thanks

Hey guys, Im picking up a full 05 Z1 swap in the next couple weeks and Id like to start piecing everything together I will need for installation. So far I know I need the Dakota Digital converter box for the VSS signal, as well as a cable operated throttle body. As far as an ECU, if possible,...

Does anyone know if the k20z3 engines from the new civic si is a BAR legal swap in california. Is there a difference between the emission equipment on the A3 and the Z3? (EGR for example) I think i read the Z3 is drive by wire. So if we swap out the original z3 manifold and throttle body for the a3...

Okay, I have searched and studied for years. Maybe it's the stress of knowing that today I bent all my intake valves on the a3 and I am scrambling to toss together a k24 so I can minimize how long I have to rent a car for($220/wk). I am ditching my skunk2 stage II cams(may have had nothing to...

Hi Guys, I understand that using the RBB manifold from the TSX puts the throttle body at an angle and apparently, the intake tube must be modified to fit ?!? Has anyone managed to reuse their AEM V2 cai from their old EP3 engine and if so, how does it need to be modified ? I'm guessing...

So there is finally light at the end of the tunnel for my build and I'm hoping to have it in by the end of sept. I plan on switching to a higher octane gas - should I start filling up my ep with the higher octane now so when I swap everything is good to go?

here is a dyno graph of my old set up vs my new set up. for those who wants to know what a stock k24a1/k20a2 frank make over a k20a2. it seem like k24 high end suck, but low to mid is awesome. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a278/Vtdarkred/k24frankvsk20-2.jpg

Hello there I know this was covered a long while ago but even then there was a debate on whether it was illegal in california to put an engine from the crv into the ep3. I was wondering if this is the case. I really want to go k24a1 when I need to do an engine rebuild, so I have a great deal of...

I was told that the head I have is a type-r head and just looked at the code and it say PRB-1, is this right?

I'm in the middle of picking up a K20A2 motor/tranny w/ harness. :mbiggrin: My car is a 02 EP3 with: JRSC 3.8 Pulley K-pro 440cc Injectors JRRH Tanabe Exhuast Injen Cai

mod- k24a1 stock bottem end, k20a2 head, prc intake manifold, dc race header, cai,kpro,05-06 type s tranny... juss wondering if anybody else wit a stock frank feels like it lacks a liltle bit of top end? would a a2 swap be faster in the 1/4?, tried seaching on different forums but they were based...

what would be needed to complete this swap?

Has anyone done the Z3 head swap on a A3 block. I'm picking it up pretty cheap with the RBC manifold. I already figured I'd have to run K-Pro. But other than that it should be a straight forward affair right, about as much work as changing the head gasket. And timing, do I just time it like a Z3?...

Hey guys, I have a k24a1 type-s swap (k24a2?). here are the specs http://www.skunk2.com/Project%20Cars/project_rr.php Yes i bought the skunk2 ep3. before i start taking care of her i want to be sure of my ways. stock ep3's with minor add on's..no problem..full swaps, ehhhh im kinda...

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the power train from the 06 up Odyssey Absolute. I found the engine from one for quite cheap but the listing is sort of vague. It was listed as Odyssey engine with high compression. Based on a little bit of research it is a K24a2 but...

Whats up guys, I have a guy who is looking for a stock ECU, he's got a hold of a PND (2002-2004 base RSX) and was wondering if it would work on his 2005 EP. Thanks in advance!
