It might not strike as much fear in the hearts of the women and children.lol. It is gonna get bad gas mileage and it will be a tad slower than the 6spd.

so how does the ESP transfer over to the k24?? is it just like power steering delete on the 24 and we still have it because of the ESP??

ESP is totally unaffected by the K24 swap. Still works just fine.

so you just take the power steering pump off the k24??? right??
can you just use the a3 belt or is there a custom belt lenght that you have to have?

You don't use a power steering pump at all. The EPS doesn't use a power steering pump. As for belt length I'm not certain, you do need a different length because the K24 crank pulley is larger, but since mine is s/c I use a different belt length than you will need. Somebody here will know.

Been searching, does any know what kind of mileage you get with a k24a1 the 310cc injectors and stock ecu?? K-pro is not out of the question but if its not that bad then i would save my money. Also the pro's and cons of the 5 speed or 6 speed. I use this car for work and gas mileage, just want more power for fun and passing people etc...

[davisj3537]

I got over 30mpg with the 310 injectors with a little better 6spd...but a normal 6spd should yield atleast 28.

Ok so I did another k24 swap this weekend and it really helps to get a new belt. You CAN use the stock a3 belt but unless you are fucking wicked awesome with some ghetto tactics you wont be able to get it on. The belt I used is a 685k6. Optimally you are looking for a 685k7 but I have not found one. I rocked out with a 6 rib for quite a long time and never had any problems.

You use motor mounts for the EP, so you can get Hasport, Innovative, Avid and I'm not sure who else.

so if you get one of these aftermarket motor mount sets you dont have to use the crv passenger side mount??
