| Post subject: | K20 and K24 |
I understand that you can drop a K20 in the 01 civic. Now I am reading that you can get a K24 (CRV motors i think) and drop those in with the K20 head. Ive also been reading that you can get the K-Series Honda Accord Motors whose pistons have more compression with the K20 Head and drop those in....How much of this is true or am I just reading it wrong..... It is also supposedly alot cheaper to do it this way.....The more info the better..... |

k24 is from accord, crv, element, accord, tsx..... It can be cheaper to run a k24 with a K20 vtec head if you get the right k24 block. I believe tsx and one other. My little brother has an rsx that's k24 swapped. using an accord block with TSX pistons, ended up being cheaper than fixing his k20 |

you have to watch though .... there is one k24 that you need to use TSX pistons in ( i think it's the a4, but i'm not sure) to be able to use the k20 head. If you can find a TSX shortblock, you're good to go. You can find the first k24's i mentioned for dirt cheap too.... check out k20a.org and it'll have all the info you need. |

correct, you will have to use tsx pistons or aftermarket in the accord k24 at least |

what is the reason for the piston swap? Compression, weight..? |

sorry - meant to say why, but got a phonecall so i wrapped it up a bit early. Piston to Valve clearance. |

sweet...I know that it will be a little more exspensive but will the Type R pistons fit if I got the over sized and the engine honed out? doesnt have to happen if it doesnt need to just curious.... |

if you get oversized pistons you need to bore the block as well. honing just cleans up the cross-hatch. er, wait, which block do you want to put these into? also you had better check piston to valve clearance as r pistons typically have a higher dome. |
