Common K24 questions answered

So then em2 sway bar, karcept adapter is for sure what I need. Why can't we use the existing k24a2 tb
Got kpro already :)
I need a stronger rear motor mount for less movement maybe going to get new clutch

What else u waiting for?

As of now i have have the a2 6 spd tranny kpro and plm raceheader. I also bought a 2004 rsx type s fuel pump assembly has nothing to do with the swap but my fuel gauge is broken. Im buying the CC stage 2 clutch next week and light flywheel. Im doin all the big stuff now so all i need in the end is little things.

Why will the k24a2 tb not work for the swap

I think it has something to do with the tps and map sensor location i dont know for sure but when you buy a longblock they usually dont include the TB so might as well use your ep one.

Ah makes sense now

K24A2 throttle body is drive by wire which is why we need to use the drive by cable EP3 throttle body

A friend of mine is parting out his type s. He has a Comptech race header and is willing to sell it to me cheap. Question: will this header bolt up to a k24a2?

If it's for your EP3 then yes but you'll need to mod your exhaust as the RSX-S header is longer than the EP3 one. If it's for your TSX then I don't know.

If your running a race header you need a em2 front swaybar. A kpro is a must for k24a2 ,You also need a karcept adapter so you can use your ep3 tb. Other than that everything should be reused from the a3 motor

em2 front sway is not necessarily needed with certain race headers. i have the PLM, same as you, and kept my stock front sway.

you dont need a throttle body adapter with the PRB intake manifold. you will need the intake manifold adapter to bolt the manifold to the head since the k24a2 has an integrated water port . you only need the throttle body adapter if you plan to use a RBC/RRC intake manifold which uses a drive by wire throttle body which is a different bolt pattern than our cable throttle body.

Right on gtec. You might even finish the swap before i do. I just got my plm raceheader today.
