K24A2 Swap Comments

[K20wagon]

Thanks man, I learned a lot on this site 'back in the day' trying to give back.

I have learned alot to since I have been on here. I have been on here since 07 but had to create a new account cause forgot my other username and password.

i would also like to add if you are still using the ep3 trans on the k24a2 and your check engine light is on and the code is for the vehicle speed sensor. Go into your parameters and select misc, uncheck the 2 boxes under speed sensor, go into the gear comp tab and click select ratios, in the dropdown box select ep3 civic si than upload it...should work perfect as it did for me. Got this info from k20a.org as i was just about to buy a new sensor

I love this thread, k24 in the hatch's ftw, for those that do want to do this swap and not look all over the internet for all the parts. k20tuned llc has entire packages that include a header, all the harnesses, kpro, brackets, cables, and motor for 4,000 and have Si motor swaps for 3850. Last time i checked...

[japarossa]

Just starting the K24a2 (turbo) swap myself, thanks for the great write-up but I'm sure I'll have some questions....

been done for a while, loving every minute of it

[AKEP]

whats your setup look like? stock?

[RHCP0801]

yea you cant really tell at all unless you notice the angle of the tb, im getting a cai made right now for it...the intake on now is just temporary since i needed something on there

[imthebro]

quick question guys.

How did you take the axles out ?
Disconnected the lower arm balljoint, then pulled them out ?

Is there an easier way ?

[RHCP0801]

i left the ball joints alone, took out the two bolts that hold the strut in and just pushed it to the side

Can I use a 2006 Civic Si Tranny with a Helical LSD on a k24a2 w/ a PRB 02-04 RSX-S Kpro'ed ECU?

[AKEP]

I dont see why not, you'd have to just use the harness you have now anyways. that trans will bolt up.

You have to use different shiftercables. There should be a thread about it in trans section.

You have a C63 amg? I have been looking at those, how do you like it?

i dont understand why my stock ecu will work since everthing is gonna be switch with the k20a3.
