Oh yeah, the oil pan for a k24 is steel versus aluminum from a k20. They are interchangeable, so its sort of a personal preference. So you can save some money by not switching it out
Will the k20 pan give me better ground clearance? if not ill stick with the k24 pan. I also just ran across a thread on k20 where someone was having hood clearance problems with a tsx long block in a EK. Are there mounts that eliminate that issue?

The k24 provides the best clearance, that's why k20 guys switch over. The k24 fits like a glove over the oil pickup. The hood issue is solved with hasport mounts. Hybrid or innovative or anyone else actually, will have clearance issues.

Yea I've been looking up thread on all the manifolds. The RBC seems to be the best one for k20 heads. Although I did find one thread on k20a where the stock RBB was a better choose for a stock k24a2 long block.

The RBB keeps the torque up in a k24a2. A RBC is better if you're revving higher than a stock k24 (using the k20 oil pump/S2K pump/ ERL pump) or running a 50*VTC or a modified VTC up to 45*. Under those conditions, you can maintain torque and pick up high end hp. a RRC does a better job than a RBC in both torque and hp.

Ok I see. Those modifications help you make adjustment so there isn't a lost in power. Got it.

Rsx engine harness. You'll have to swap the outer wires on the crank sensor or swap the k24 sensor to a k20. The rest is good to go.

Ordered the last few pieces of hardware for the suspension. Should be here on Monday. Still cant put it on since its snowing once a week here. Hopefully I can get a chance to go up and look at the motor this weekend. My friend just got his garage so that's where the motor will be at and most likely where most of the work will get done when swap time comes around.

tuned in for when swap time comes around lol
Lol it will come idk when but it'll be here when it gets here. I'm trying to find a part time job to speed things along but it's hard finding a job that pays decent pay for a part time position.

If you like them get them! Dont ask for others opinion!

If you get them make sure they are fully functional like they are supposed to be!

I like them but I just don't want them to be like my old fog light. I got 'em then after a while I hate them. I was looking for opinions on what people think of them. Like clear vs amber. Should they blink or just stay on etc. OEM vs Aftermarket

So thanks to K20a and Instagram I found a well know engine builder here in CT. I am going to get in contact with him soon and provide him with the part list I have made and get his feed back on what he thinks. Once I have the part list all sorted out I am going to collect all the parts I need for the motor and send it to the machine shop to get the block and head prepped for assembly. Then ill bring it to the builder once I find out his prices. From there ill have him assemble the block and the motor will be done. Then it's on to swap parts. I also contacted four different company's that power coat and I'm trying to choose a color for the VC.
