Question about K24 into 07 civic
OK, so instead of being predictable and cliched, i decided to not buy the 07 si, but the rather the 07 EX 5sp with all the options, and install a K24 in place of the sad little R18. I am planning on buying a straight tsx swap with all the goodies(ecu,axles,tranny,engine,radiator,fans,hose s,starter, you get the idea).
now, if anyone has done this or can provide me with the extra parts that would be neccesary, i would greatly appreciate it. i have the fabrication and building skills, but i don't have the knowlege of the new parts needed for these new swaps. thanks!!!

You going to end up spending more than it would of cost to get the si. You should of just got it, so you would have a warranty and not have to tear apart your 07 civic

hahaha, i thought of that also but, the price would have been much higher and i wouldn't have money for the swap and other parts then. i think this will work out pretty good, it just kinda sux for now going from 340whp eg hatch to 130 hp FG civic. the car is 1,0000 times nicer all around but slow as hell. i gotta find a nice tsx swap soon. LOL
