Honda Civic Si K20 to K24a SWAP DIY (2006 2011 Si)

[@559powerscape]

Good Job Gerb! You did a great job on that swap!

[@dominiksamir6763]

dont know if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last couple of months :)

Good video brother.. Very informative for a lot of people to not just hear, but see all the sensors and parts that are needed and have to switched over.

Hey Gerb, don't get rid of the K20. Keep it for a future build buddy.

He should do a head swap with the k20!!

I just bought a 2007 si and has a bad k20. After watching this video I'm definitely buying the k24 it's cheaper then what I can find a k20 for.

dude, literally bought mine a week ago and mine blew on the drive home 😂 good luck brother, i know we both need it 😂🙏

[@julianperez1270]

I just did a k24A swap on my 8th Gen just waiting on Flashpro. But the only sensor you have to change is the Crank sensor and the Vtec sensor behind the engine. Everything else just plug in and you can use the K24A crank pulley and need k20z3 oil pan and CRV post mount..but Everything else is direct plug in. All I'm waiting is for my Flashpro which is coming tomorrow brand new Bluetooth.

The vtec solenoid from k24 only has 1 plug cause the jdm motor doesn't use an oil pressure switch for vtec iirc. A usdm k24 would have both plugs I think.

[@bradwysong4254]

I swapped my k20z3 to a K24A and it ran on its own for 15 or so seconds and cut the engine cut out now it won't start. Fuel is coming out of the fuel line and the engine has healthy compression on all four cylinders. I need to do a spark test. I was wondering if you encountered any of these issues. P.S. you're videos were a huge help when I was debating if I was going to perform the swap.

[@TheGerbsteve]

Should work with your k tuner

[@cesarz188]

Did you need to flash tune your ECU on k24 after you installed everything ? I heard it’s necessary to do a tune to make the k24A swap run as it should.

Yes it is

[@TheGerbsteve]

Pier B nice man. It definitely is hard to find a clean z3 engine. If you do find a nicer k20z3, you’ll be paying top dollar for it too! Yup, you can run k24 off of k20 ecu and tranny

[@Luigi-007]

Gerb I appreciate that man! One mor thing, the k24 redline stops at 7 and k24 at 8. How do you go about that? 7 would be my new top?

Thanks brother ! Down here in ma been watching you for a min seen you around providence a couple times to loll but quick question you didn’t have to change your Ecu right ?

[@TheJkrouse88]

What’s up man. So I just got a k24a2. Doing a 20/24 but I’m getting conflicting information on something. With the z3 pan on the 24 block what oil pump and pick up are you running? Did you have to use the z3 oil pick up? Thanks man!

[@drsully]

the best stock oil pump for your application is the fd2 type R oil pump. it has the extended pickup just like the stock z3 oil pump but is closer in design to the k20a2 rsx type s pump. do not use the type s pump because the pickup is not tall enough for the deeper z3 oil pan. its not worth the risk. use the RRC fd2 civic type r pump. its cheap and bolts right up.

[@danielvidales8630]

Hello, what oil bayonet did you use? Does the oil level stay the same?
