My friends and I did a k24a2 swap last weekend, heres whats fresh off the top of my head...
(original thread by: sinistercivicsi)
Things to buy:
2004 CRV passenger side mount
Throttle Body Gaskets
Exhaust manifold gaskets
www.slhonda.com, or the honda e-store.
Things to swap:
Ep3 THERMOSTAT/HOUSING and O-Ring GASKET(s)
EP3 KNOCK SENSOR!!
Ep3 Alternator
Ep3 Starter
etc...
One main trouble on the k24 swaps is overheating due to bubbles in the radiator and hose.
To fix this problem (ie: bleed the system)
1)turn heat/ac on full blast
2) start the car to normal idling temperature.
3) Jack the front of the car way up (tires off the ground at LEAST)
4) Open the radiator cap and allow the car to "burp"
coolant will gush out of the cap as you open it, but after that it should be okay. At least, it was in my case.
CONFIRMED: stock swaybar fits with EP3 header.
CONFIRMED: the RBB TSX manifold fits into the Ep3 with about 1"-2" clearance from the Radiator support. But you definitely need the KARCEPTS adapter for it to work with the EP3 throttle Body.
