Here are some tips for the RSX Type S Oil Pump conversion
This oil pump is found on the DC5 Type R K20A, RSX-S K20A2/Z1.
If you using the RSX Type-S oil pump and are using a TSX (K24a2) or Accord block (K24A4), you will need to modify the mounting surface of the pump to accommodate the lump in the lower plate.
The CRV (K24a1) block you do NOT have to modify the pump. It's a flat surface.
You can reuse the oil chain tensioner from your K24A Engine.
The oil pump tensioner from the K24A is the only part that is the same as the RSX.
If you have an 8th gen SI K20Z3 you will need to modify your exsisting tensioner or add the RSX oil pump chain tensioner.
The K20Z3 tensioner is the only US spec K20 engine that does not have the RAA piece.

shortest and most thorough oil pump install yet, and you included the part numbers in the video. great video

[@DAVEMARINO]

Drew Flores Thanks! Hope it helped you with your build!

[@ksisjdm]

Solid vid Dave. The side by side view should help people see why the a2 pump reaches cavitation later in the rpm range with the much larger sprocket keeping the revolutions closer to 1:1 and the reduced mass.

[@tobymaples7646]

Clear and concise. Is this upgrade worth doing/needed for a daily driver with bolt ons and a tune? The car isn’t beat on, just spirited driving lol

[@DAVEMARINO]

Thanks for the kind words! I wouldnt say its needed but its a nice upgrade and could help to keep the oil pressure up during spirited driving.

[@coady1681]

Hey Dave just wondering if there was any special orientation of the chain or anything like how there’s points to line up on the timing chain. Thanks for the info have a great day 👌

[@DAVEMARINO]

No the chain can go on any which way for that.

[@kylekavnaugh6595]

Can you do it with the engine in the car and how did it feel?

[@justinread5609]

One of the best vids on this subject. How long a bolt did you use to block the jet .. ?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Justin Read Thanks for the kind words! I don’t recall the length of the bolt sorry

[@justinread5609]

DAVE MARINO I am building a k24a3 this is a euro spec so same as USA a2. Oil pump first and then 50 degree gear. I know where to go for advise now

[@DAVEMARINO]

Justin Read Awesome best of luck with the build any questions feel free to reach out! My social media’s are in the description. 50° VTC is deff another worthy upgrade. I’d suggest a limiting Pin as well to mechanically limit the VTC to 40.

[@justinread5609]

DAVE MARINO where are they available from please I have a sump baffle also and a alternator relocate kit the engine is going in a mr2 spyder

[@DAVEMARINO]

Justin Read Check out tractuff.com. They have it on their site. It’s really easy install. I should do a video on that one day as wel

[@Hyudryu]

Are there any timing marks/gold chain links to align on the type S pump like the K24 does?

[@DAVEMARINO]

No there are no marks on the oil chain pump.

[@wpspeed2738]

do you need the windage tray or can i just modify the k20 oil pump and slap it in my k24 block ? (with the plug swap for the bolt of course too)

[@DAVEMARINO]

Yes you need the windage tray.

[@angeloward29]

I am currently doing a k24 swap on my fd1 if im running a k20z3 oilpan do i need to do this oilpump swap or i can just leave the stock k24 oilpump with the k20z3 oilpan thanks

[@DAVEMARINO]

You don’t need to do this oil pump swap. It helps to free up some weight and better oil pressure

[@wowsplat]

Question, i have a 2000 civic dx sedan. What is the best "drop in" engine replacement i can get?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Well most Honda motors would drop in pretty easy with the correct mounts and some basic mechanic skills. really just comes down to cost and power goals

[@lifeschoice6235]

I stripped one of the oil pan stud. How did u take them out? I’m trying to put in my type s pan.

[@DAVEMARINO]

damn that sucks ! I have been there before good luck getting it out. I usually use the double nut trick to get them out. Can also use a stud extractor.

[@willalexander177]

I read on a form you plug off the little hole underneath the oil pump as well. Every where else I’ve seen how to do this no one does it. What do you think?

[@DAVEMARINO]

I havent seen anyone else do that before. The way i did it here has worked on quite a few motors

[@averyalexander2303]

If you are referring to the little hole in the block next to the main oil feed hole, that's a pressurized oil feed to lubricate the ends of the balance shafts. It isn't really necessary to block it off since the flange on the K20 pump covers it, so you aren't going to lose a significant amount of pressure from there. However, if you want to plug it off to ensure that no oil will escape through it, doing so could only help your oil pressure. Less leakage is always better. I'm OCD so I am going to see if I can thread the hole and put a screw in it to ensure that there is no leakage, but you don't have to.

[@branbailey3239]

I’ve been reading that because of the differences in the pumps more oil has to be added. How much oil for a k20/k24 frank with this pump should i be adding?

[@DAVEMARINO]

It’s might require a little bit more oil. I usually stick to around 4.5 /4.6 quarts. The best guide is your dip stick for oil level

[@shobud7561]

Also are the factory oil pump prone to lock up , or just wear out ?

[@DAVEMARINO]

They arent really prone to wearing out they just reach oil cavitation earlier in the RPM range

[@123212vtec]

Can someone tell me what is the advantages of using k20 oil pump over the k24 oil pump?other than being more light in weight.. Does k20 oil pump will increase the oil pressure and more suitable for higher rpm applications?

[@tiles3458]

Correct

[@faithflores7851]

What block is this I have k20z3 want to know best block for Frankenstein swap thanks 🙏

[@DAVEMARINO]

K24a2

[@mattman20132]

how is the vibration at idle with the k20a2 oil pump vs the k24a?

[@DAVEMARINO]

mattman20132 I never had the motor running in the car with the original TSX pump. I have never heard anyone complain about vibrations from the type s pump.

[@enriquegrimaldo946]

is this a k24/20 build? I'm wondering if i just run a K24 long block, can i still upgrade the oil pump to a K20 just for the sake of a upgrade without having a actual k24/20 build.

[@DAVEMARINO]

This is a Full K24a2 long block. No K20 head. Yea you can add the oil pump just like I did.

[@jonsgarage]

Where did you get your torque specs from?

[@DAVEMARINO]

The Honda manual

[@FRONTLINEAUTO400]

is this possible witht he motor inside the car?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Yeah I don’t see why not. It might be a bit more difficult to get to somethings in the engine bay.

[@christianquinn8018]

What did you use to shave down the oil pump?

[@DAVEMARINO]

I used a cut-off wheel to get the large portions off then grabbed a Dremel for the fine parts

[@mean-kdaynnight8637]

I accidentally trim my k20 oil pump too much where I can only put 2 bolts in for the tensioner which the tensioner has 3 bolts and i was wondering if that will affect anything or any other way for me to fix it ?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Mean-K DayNnight Not sure I would trust it with 2 bolts. A new pump would be cheaper than a whole new motor in my opinion. Best of luck with your build

[@mean-kdaynnight8637]

Yeah that true, thanks for responding

[@jeepetaMadison]

Is it beneficial to swap the k24 oil pan out for an rsx type s oil pan on this conversion? Should I just leave my k24 original oil pan on the motor

[@DAVEMARINO]

No real benefit to it. the K24 steel pan can take hit better on the road vs the aluminum oil pan that will crack and break.

[@jeepetaMadison]

@@DAVEMARINO Would the oil capacity increase since the k20 pump is smaller? My intake camshaft keeps scoring on the journals. Been twice now not sure what is causing this? Any ideas

[@DAVEMARINO]

@@jeepetaMadison There might be a slight increase in capacity nothing really noticeable. id check to see if there are any oil galleys clogged and make sure your oil pressure is where it needs to be

[@jeepetaMadison]

@@DAVEMARINO Just a curiosity question. Can I swap my k24A2 cylinder head internals into a k24A4 head and run it on my 04 TSX? My A2 is bad and all I have available is an A4 head

[@DAVEMARINO]

@@jeepetaMadison The internals from the tsx head should be able to be swapped over.

[@shobud7561]

Why did honda use the balancer gears in this factory oil pump ?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Not sure why honda used the Balancers for a lot of the later motors. Lucky for us we can used the Type S pump on a lot of the motors'

[@averyalexander2303]

They use the balance shafts to help cancel out the vibrations from the pistons going up and down to make the motor run smoother. 4 cylinder engines are inherently imbalanced. Removing the balance shafts will reduce weight and drag and improve reliability at high RPMs, but you may also notice more noise and vibration in the cabin as a result of the engine's inherent imbalance no longer being cancelled out.

[@JasonSmith-zu3rn]

Big boss!! What if I don't want to change the oil pump in my K24a ? I have an 8th gen civic I'm tired of the 2.0l . So i got the k20z3 out . Everything is almost switched over expect the pump. What if I want the k24a original pump do I have to do anything special??? Do I have to switch it ? Will I get oil pressure if I just keep the original k24a oil pump in thier ? Please man I need your help!

[@theakh4238]

I'm a K-series noob, so I am going to ask the most basic question. What is the goal of using the type S pump over the original?

[@DAVEMARINO]

Better / consistent oil pressure and it doesn't cavate at higher RPMS

[@brunjoza]

Can you still use K24 oil pan with K20 oil pump?

[@DAVEMARINO]

1bRuC Yes you can!

[@brunjoza]

@@DAVEMARINO Thank You!

[@fersnipper]

I'm going to swap a k24 into my rsx do I need to use a type s oil pump??

[@DAVEMARINO]

Fernando Ramos You don’t need to but the type s pump will help with oil pressure , rev higher and lighten up the pump in the motor. It’s a nice extra but not required

[@fersnipper]

@@DAVEMARINO appreciate it 💯

[@loganliam1319]

whats the benefit for doing k20 pump on k24 block?

[@DAVEMARINO]

it allows you to make better oil pressure at higher rpm and its a lighter oil pump.

[@loganliam1319]

@@DAVEMARINO thanks for reply.

[@vi_EviL_iv]

@@DAVEMARINO Yeah thanks for the info on the reply. Didn't know much why but I do know making sure the engine get plenty of oil definitely helps to prevent wearing down and blowing your motor specially when high revving an making tight turns as I like to do. I noticed once I advanced my VTEC to 45 degrees, I get the code P0011 and only happens when I step on it coming from a tight turn. Only started experiencing after I changed the VTEC gear to the RSX and pinned it t 45 degrees so I think the gear is not getting enough oil pressure. It also rarely happenes om a straight away and I gun it when on manual mode and revving close to 6,000 or 7000 RPMs. Hope upgrading the oil pump will solve this issue.
