RDX K23 Engine - info -

first, dude what are you smoking, a k20a jdm swap is NO WHERE NEAR 12K. not even if you were swapping that into a CRX,

direct quote from hmotorsonline.com
30014 - K20A ( Type R) Motor, Tranny, ECU
220 Hp 158Trq 11.5 Compression (JDM)
$ 5299.00 Plus shipping and handling.

and these DROP RIGHT IN to our cars. as far as the biggest price tag i've seen was quoted almost 10k for a shop to buy everything and do it, much lower if you do it yourself obviously.

1.) not sure about the dimentions but i'm pretty sure its identical in size to a k20, i think its a stroked k20 or a destroked k24, oil pan is a minor detail, that is, if it dosen't fit. we have pretty big oil pans ourself and i'm using the stock k24 one. as far as i've read on it its not the oil pan we are worried about, but the locale of the oil filter. which still doesn't seem like its in a bad spot unless you're trying to do turbo work behind the motor, which in that case would SUCK.

i thought jpax installed this in his ek or fitted it or something. i think i remmeber it sitting in his bay, and something about making mounts at his job, with a cnc machine or something.

anyways, hope i'm correct for the most part, wish that thread was still here. it was a dream crusher.

lulz. did u read the first post in this thread by pax?

im sure the tmic causes fitment issues more than the k24.

but there is a difference between pushing boundaries and being stupid for show. Built K24>k23 all day

i did forever ago. i dont remember what it says, but i know its a lot less than it used to say.
*reads*
for the record it says nothing about a "tmic" or a top-mount-intercooler - and if it does and i didnt see it, why the hell would you use it anyway?
also, i used the oil pan that came on my k24a2. fits exactly the same as my k20a3. just looks different.
if you were talking about my post, i was referring to a top mounted turbo.

sorry if i sound rude on the internetz, im drunk/tired.

I ment new not a used one. Direct from honda. Would cost around 12k. I was just curious in general i have always thought about the k23 n now i know why its not really possible, which kind of blows cuz its one of the only motors with a stock turbo, and a k series for that matter.

Hmmm... i wonder what a head gasket overlay would look like between the k23 and k20/24. I like the oil port on the block... should be easy to replicate on a k20/24.
