Thanks for the video my dude, thinking of doing this swap as well and doing some research to see how involved the swap is. You got a new subscriber....

roneman20 thanks

Thanks for the video was thinking of doing this swap in my 2006 civic and eventually some turbo down the road

Been running a full 07 K24a2 in my 09 FG2 for ~100k / 5 years 220 WHP 170 WTQ @ like 2k lmao. Just Injen CAI + Q300 Exhaust.. Still has stock header and cat 😂 Breaks Necks everywhere I go super fun.

Is the adorable pom required too. Thanks for the video

[@filude305]

K24a2 would most likely be the route for me for my 09 FA5 at 200+k since k20 red top are to got dam high pricey. Don’t care about being the fastest but fast and reliable honda power. 09 FA5 till I die

[@donniejohnson7837]

Damn meh- guy, that was a damn fine bit right there. Good shit... Now, i am curious, since it's fairly easy to build (assuming one has the parts & good info), how much u charge to drop one in for me? Lol Pretty much exact same options (well missed what ur type of tb)- and id even look at eventually boosting (mild-moderate tops)- tho that could be 3 mos -3 years, lol. Love this lil fa5- fr Thx D

[@wilfreddiazvellon7896]

I have on my 2006 Honda Civic si coupe K24-A2 bottom and a K20 on top and believe it’s awesomely fast.

H*** yeah Man, kudos! What do you think about going boosted? Sooner/ later I'll be looking to do some major mods to me fa5- eventually I'd like to be boosted. Trying to gauge ppls preference bc im curious which setup 8 Gen. Owners like boostin the best (k20-k24- K2/4 e.t.c). U ? Thx love to see a vid

Same for 02 Si ? Thanks for this video.

I have a K20a2 head what kind of block would your recommend me, also transmission so i can have LSD this is all for a 02 acura RSX Type S plans is to run NA for a year then go boost so any tips would be so helpful , thanks !

[@michaelkim2218]

I have a 2009 Honda Civic Si, just swapped the K24 Block, kept my K20 Head, also plugged the oil jet spray with 10 mm screw. I was getting P2647 error, changed out the VTEC Solenoid assembly, also VTC Solenoid, also changes out the new engine harness. Still the P2647 code, I give up, don't know what the issue is, if anyone can give me some idea or advice i could sure use it right now. TY!

[@fd_ctr204]

so you cant go with a k20z1 (from 05-06 rsx type s) head and k24a2 block on an 8th gen civic si?

[@hugorocha7854]

Guys if anyone can give me some tips please help! I have a 2015 si that is totalled nd I want to swap that engine in my 2006 SI.. is it possible to swap with transmission as well? What will i need?

[@AwesomeCREEPER77]

Great video!! Two questions when doing the 24/20 build. Would you use the k24 timing chain and tensioner or the 20? And lastly would you use k20 or 24 coilpacks?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

They’re basically the same so use the one with less miles

Is k20/24 supercharged with KW kit reliable?

I’m going to do a k24/k20 set up and I’m thinking of basically just a stock block type s pump , it’s gonna be my first swap any tips and pointers ?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

In what chassis?

[@reloaded6278]

I’m confused on the water pump assembly ? Are we switching over our water pump assembly if we are only doing the k20 head

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes we are switching over due to tsx water pump having power steering

[@BakingBread777]

Will a transmission from a ep3 work with k24a2 in the 8th gen?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

You need shifter adapters I believe

[@marcelolezica9371]

hey bro, I have a question, can you use the head of a K20Z3 (civic if) on K24A8 std? I would prefer not to change the interns

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes you can

[@LukemanHakim]

I have k20k24 frank with 50degree vtc. Why do i have crackling noise for a split second everytime after a cold start?. Please help.

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Vtc actuator I believe mine does that also and a lot of other k series guys has that noise also.

[@TheRealToodles]

I’m doing a k24a2 bottom with a z3 head on my Integra. Did you use the k24 timing chain? I will have a lot of questions btw 😂

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes you'll need to use your timing chain along with the timing chain cover.

[@TheRealToodles]

CAMMEDcivic did you use 02-04 RSX Type s oil pump?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Josh hit VTEG Yes 02-06 RSX-S oil pump.

[@yokaa69]

Hey bro what cars come with the k24a2 ?

does our half shaft and brackets bolt rite up to k24 block? or block needed modification?

They bolt up

[@jimmynunez8376]

hey so besides the crv bracket did every other mount bolt on with no issues?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes everything else is good.

[@thegreatgabe5980]

Is there any downfalls running this setup? Is it reliable as the straight k24? I'm am debating on doing this setup or just running a k24a, I am new to this, just looking for some knowledge. I have a lot of questions if you don't mind thanks!

[@CAMMEDcivic]

It's reliable and more beneficial from the better flowing head.

[@zukkisgarage2259]

Bro can i use a k20a2 head on a 8th gen civic si?? I have a oportunity of a k24/20 motor but the head is a a2 head, and what do i need to make it work if its posible?? Thanks in advance

[@CAMMEDcivic]

You should be able to I believe the only difference was the coolant passage on the right side of the head if I can remember. Something with the coolant

[@bige7186]

Hey bro I need some help on my setup, im going to be swapping out my k20z3 for the k20A euro r motor into my fa5 civic si , do I need to get a CRV 03-06 post mount ?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

No you don’t everything should transfer over. The CRV mount is only to accommodate the extra height of the K24 only. K20 will be just a drop in.

[@raymejia3181]

What’s up bro. Do I need the flash pro to complete this swap.

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes in a 8th gen.

[@JmouaRUAM]

Bro what head gasket r u using, k24 or k20?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

K24

[@blairholliman4443]

With a stock a2 bottom and z3 head could I run 45° vtc.

[@CAMMEDcivic]

You can run full 50*

Did you ever run into an issue using the smaller crank pulley?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Eggie Aponte nope.

[@Kid617]

What head gaskets did u use ?? Did use a headgasket for a k20 or k24

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Use the head gasket for the block that your gonna be using so if you use a tsx block you'll use that

[@rolandogonzalez7990]

Cammedcivic if I run the k24 head do I still have to flash the computer?

K24a2

[@manny9fresh]

I’m currently doing a 04 k24a2 swap on my 06 si. I plan on keeping the k24 head just direct bolt in. Is switching the oil pan necessary?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Yes you need it due to the rear mount

[@manny9fresh]

CAMMEDcivic anything else to lookout for?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

I would do a type s oil pump so your can rev pass 7800 and be safe. I was reving mine to 8200-8400 no issues and your power band needs it. With stock pump theres high chance you will throw a rod in the future or blow your motor if you keep seeing 8k.

[@rastafire1219]

@@CAMMEDcivic is there any modifications need to be done on the type s oil pump? I saw on another video this guy was saying the z3 oil pan would need to be used.

[@bertbuilt8567]

Did you lock 50 degree vct with this setup ? Not worried about piston to valve contact ?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Full 50 degree on decked head no issues. No locking just degree it through hondata

[@CAMMEDcivic]

And I was revving at 8200-8400 also seen 9K+ due to bad tranny.

What headgasket did you use?

whats the difference between k20 and k24 head?

[@ryancking87]

*@CAMMEDcivic* How could I reach you to have a more serious talk? I have an 08 EX I've been wanting to do this to for a while. However I couldn't just jerk out a good, running, and stock motor so I gave it hell until it died. That's why I'm on here now........ I'm looking to have it swapped and up and running within the next week.... 2 weeks as an absolute worst case scenario. So I'd really enjoy having an in depth chat with you if possible.

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Hillbilly Silver you can message me on here I'm mostly on here.

[@ryancking87]

CAMMEDcivic ..... Thanks brother..... I have an 08 EX and am fixing to put another R18 stock motor back into it. However how much of a pain in the ass is it to swap in a K20 from the 8th Gen Si?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

I dont really have experience on r18 to k swap but just to throw it out there you'll need the harness, motor mounts and the complete motor itself and ECU and headers and exhaust system with it.

[@jghnny]

What forum you use?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

8thgencivic

[@johncarlos5211]

K20 or k24 timing Chain ?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

K24 chain and timing chain cover.

[@keiserious]

What about putting k20 head on a 9th Gen Si with the k24 bottom?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

It's gonna be a alot of work for a z7 but it's doable

[@TheJkrouse88]

What oil pump?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

RSX-S

[@icelover3]

which k pro do you use

[@CAMMEDcivic]

I'm on flashpro since its a 8th gen but for swaps get V4 that'll be the latest kpro out.

[@jona10silva]

what's your whp and tq estimates with this set up running kPro =)

[@CAMMEDcivic]

With full bolt on you should be in the 230whp-245whp given what type of fuel you're on.

[@jona10silva]

I'm on pump gas 92 and i have access to a k24a JDM block and I have a k20a long block. Keep up the great videos. would it be more worth it to just run the k24 full bolt ons?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

Use your complete K20a head and oil pump and everything else I mentioned on this video. That will be a good setup. Just make sure you're running a good set of headers like the Skunk2 alpha and a 3.5" cold air intake and a 3" exhaust to take advantage of the full power of that motor. And thanks I will keep videos coming also.

[@victorrosales1406]

Can I do this swap to a non si 8th gen?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

You could it will require more work though

[@simonmoeung3933]

More work how???

[@Litboy_cj]

How much power did you make with this setup all motor?

[@CAMMEDcivic]

I was always Street tuned so I didn't have any numbers but it would've put down around 250-260whp on 91 pump gas. This was a stock block with stage 1 cams.

[@claytonhaske]

So, the tsx cams are considered stage 1 cams? Build was very informative, I learned a ton, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
