K24a4 Swap (accord) - Whats Needed

[ep3jd]

what is this swap said to produce with full bolt ons and a tune? i just found one for cheap and although i was going to go with k24a1/k20a2 i think that i could also make good power with this. allegedly his friend has a straight k24a4 in his ep3 and makes 218whp and 178 wtq with a dc header, 3" exhaust and kpro...

ok i got the a4 in my hatch with no problems.There was no issues with sway bar or header so not sure if the hfp package maters with sway bar problems.The motor is running fine but my temp gage isnt reading ,,,,kpro is reading etc from 185-204 at its highest then fan kicks on.Wondering why the gage isnt reading in the car?????

there is a patch for kpro to fix the temp issue. go to www.hondata.com to download it and update your software. are you running the latest version?

Would this be a good motor for boost and has anyone done it?

[rolldogK20]

yes, but you would need to drill and tap the head like you would for a prb or prc intake manifold or run the adapter plate

Where can i find a how to to drill and tap ???

Why the K24a4 and not the K24a2? Produces 200HP and 171 TQ stock.

k24A4 is about 900 bucks and you use your 5 speed transmission, k24A2 is about 2000 and you really need to run a 6 speed tranmission. You get about the same amount of torque out of both engines. You can always throw some of your old A3 bolt ons to the k24a4 and bump the power up quite a bit. k20a3 JRSC or k20a3 cams can be used with your k20a3 kpro..... so its a much cheaper option to boost your performance.

$2000 is alot of money for a K24a2 they can be found for half of that and you don't need to use the 6 speed tansmission, the ep 5 speed will get you down the road just as good. The PNF kpro ecu can be used with any of these engine swaps.

The 5 speed will get you down the road, but will not make the best use out of the powerband.

Sure it will, most of the guys I know racing with a k24 setup are using the 5 speed by choice.

I know this thread is for k24a4, but does this still apply with swapping in the k24a1?
I have DC5 ITR front sway, could i use ep OBX RH or dc shorty header (i have both) with ep exhaust?
Is k24a1 w/ k20a2 head the same as k24a1 w/ k20z1 head?
My buddy told me the k24a1 has one of the best heads Honda has ever made... really?
Found a k24a1 with 38k miles for $700 a couple hrs away.
LMK whats up!
Also i'm just gonna buy some aftermarket mounts anyways, do i still need that CRV one?
