Ok thanks. Seems like its easier. Do you know if it the k24a4 block would still need to be drilled to run a external oil cooler?
This is "MY BUILD" INSPIRATION

You won't need new rods if you go with the oem options. If you use an aftermarket piston, you'll want rods to match. the rsx-s and 8th gen civic si have an oil cooler stock. You'll have to use the k20 oil pump and water pump setup and tap into the block to use the stock cooler. You'd also have to tap if you used an external cooler.
And you're right about going ahead and upgrading your rods while the block is apart. It's one of those, "well why not" situations
Ok thanks that cleared up the confusion. I have to talk to some experience engine builder to decide what setup I should go for based on my power goal. I'm planning on staying all motor and I want around 200-250 whp.
Sounds good this should be a pretty easy build then. Maybe things can start rolling sooner then I think. I been tryna decide if I should stick to part kits when it come to buying swap part or piece it all together. I think I'm definitely getting the hybrid started kit just so I have all the necessary items to drop in the engine but ill wait just wait and see when the time comes.
Cant wait! In for updates!
I see where your coming from. I do like having thing new. I don't mind used parts if they are in mint condition. I had the idea of getting kits so I don't have to worry about forgetting parts. Right now the part list is a little confusing. ALOT of little bits and pieces. Right now I'm just going to keep doing research and slowly start getting parts for the motor. Once the engines done I'll start buying swap parts. I notice I do things in my build very spontaneously. I literally just went to go see my friends new garage and he had two k24a4 long blocks just sitting in the back and I just asked would he sell it and how much. Just like that "BOOM" I have a new motor. I really didn't even plan to get a swap k swap for at least a year. I just always jump on a deal when they come up.
Well no updates yet I'm just putting together a list of things ill be getting for the k20/24 frank build. I been looking at different engine cylinder heads. Not sure what I'll be going with but I guess I'll get what ever I can find for a decent price. This build is going to be mostly OEM to keep the cost low and for reliability. I'll have a list up in a bit of what I plan to go with and I'll update it as I go along.
in for updates!

When are you thinking you will be dropping it in?
All depends on money flow to be honest. I'm shooting for around this time next year. But I have plans to get a second job if I can find one and I may get a promotion in the coming months if things go well at my job. So there are things that can speed this all up but there not promise so I can't say it will happen any sooner. But I definitely need another car before I swap this. So I can do everything I want to it.
I hear you im in the same boat
It's will happen when it happens but I plan to get the engine done and ready first before I buy any swap parts. I still might get a b series swap for the summer but idk it depends on money and if I'm close to getting another car as a daily driver.
Thanks for the info I'm still learning all of this k series stuff. I'll add that to the list.
