Em2 Kswap help

I’m looking to see if anyone else has had the same problem as me. So I’m almost done with my K24a2 swap in my ‘05 Civic coupe. I swapped it from auto to manual and I’m on my last steps to getting it started. I’ve installed everything I can think of, but I’m having trouble getting Kpro to read ignition power when I turn the key to run. All wires on connector E are getting the right power where they should and when they should. I have all my grounds and all fuses and relays are good. I’m using the PND A01 ecu from a base rsx and a tucked base rsx engine harness. My fuel pump won’t prime and the green pilot light inside the ecu doesn’t ever come on. Any ideas on something I might’ve missed?

K20bored vs k24 block

Wondering about potential build combos for a swap I plan to do, long story short there’s an engine near me that’s a k20 block but owner says it was overheated and warped .006 over bore… I’m no expert on things such as this but I’m just wondering if it would be better to get it bored to a 2.2L or find k24 block and build, both plan on being tore down and built to a certain degree, I can replace rods pistons etc. don’t have the tools to bore or measure bore size or anything like that, both plan on being turboed As for transmission combos I was just thinking t56 and calling it a day, K24 is gonna have k20 head on it No ideas for k”22” block I’m gonna get negativity for my decision but it’s a “be happy with what I have moment” I plan to put in 04cadillac cts, it’s a junk car laying around my yard I figured I could get experience with the Honda engines, I’ve experienced Ls, as much as the swap would be easier to do with those engines, the k20/24 engines with harness cost just as much as Ls engine alone 5.3 or 5.7 Ls I also don’t plan to do make it a drag car…. Maybe more of a track car

K24a4 build potential

So I have a k24a4 that I was given and I’d like to swap it into one of my cars but I’ve heard I’d need rods and pistons to use a k20a2 head without piston to valve contact. So I’d like to do a budget build and if the stock block and head can be built to make power with a turbo I’d consider just inventing into what I already have. More specifically I’m asking how well (or poorly) does the stock head flow or can that be fixed by porting the cylinder head enough to make decent power, or would I be better off replacing the rotating assembly in my k24a4 block to accommodate a k20a2 head for better flow

JDM auto trans in USDM car

I'm looking for trans for my 07 Accord auto. Finding US trans are are almost double what I can get a JDM one for. Also with twice the mileage.

Will I have any issues putting JDM one in? I know it will bolt up and fit. Any issues with needing different axles or inner cv joints and any issues with the PCM?

I seem to remember people having issues with some earlier JDM Civic D series trans with unclearable DTCs because different torque converter clutch circuits.

Appreciate any information/help.

1st gear is where 2nd should be and reverse is where 5th should be

I have a 1997 Honda Civic hatchback with a K24a1 and the transmission from a 2004 Crv. I was wondering if anyone knows how to align the cables or something else. I might be being stupid so anything helps. Thank you guys, really appreciate anything.

Kpro question

Hello everyone,

I am k24a swapping a 09 mini cooper and was curious what kpro I should get. Ibknow I need the 02-04 one for the conversion harness. I am using the k20z3 6 speed and I done have a donor/core.

I am going through hybrid racing and the two options are

  1. PND
  2. PPA, PND, PNF

I am assuming the second option but just curious what is recomended/differences. Thank you!!

Missing bolt?

I got this engine from a guy that ran it for like 500 miles and it never leaked or anything. Should i take it off and re seal it or just get a bolt that fits and just screw it in? or should i just leave it as is?

K24z2 VS k24z3

I'm replacing a blown up k24z3 in an '09 accord ex-l w/ PVEV, and the only used option I could find is a k24z2 out of an accord lx. The z3 motor only has a nurned valve, but was opted for replacement due to the mileage. My question is if anyone knows the major differences between these engines, and if it's possible to drop it in without major swapping of parts and internals.

K20/k24 exaust manifolds

Do the k20 and k24 have the same size bolt pattern for turbo manifolds I liked it up and it said the stock exhaust manifold is different due the larger displacement but I’m assuming they all k series turbo manifolds are the same if anyone and can answer this it would be much appreciated

Ignition coil & cover bolt for a k24z1?

Hello everyone. I am very smart, and broke a bolt that holds one of the ignition coils & the ignition coil cover for my k24z1. I noticed that HondaPartsNow carried a replacement bolt but you also have to buy the nut hex cap. I already have it since I broke it off the bolt (unless its no good anymore). I was wondering how do I even attach the bolt & cap together if I do end up buying them. Or is there just one bolt I could buy.

The bolt that I broke off :(

see 11 for the bolt & 13 for the hex nut cap

Thank you my fellow Honda brothers for any help :3c

Tuning a k24a4 in a 2004 accord

I am about to turbo my accord and want to make sure I will still be able to daily it after. Would it be harmful to turbo it without a tune or would a Ktuner work to tune it myself on a laptop I am just concerned of the price of a aftermarket ecu and bringing to a professional tuner another question would a professional be able to tune it with the turbo installed without buying a separate ecu? Or would it fry the stock Honda ecu? Please help if you know thank you!

Hey yall I’m currently swapping the engine out in my accord and I was wondering if the tensioner pulley from a k24a4 will work on my k24a2 (also if anyone could plug some resources for how to get the tensioner pulley, power steering, and alternator back on that would be amazing)

Civic Hatch

Anyone have any ideas one what to do for all the suspension and drivetrain for a k20 motor that will fit on a hatchback frame to make it all wheel drive? Also possibly a way to switch it from all wheel drive to rear wheel drive?

What's a good base map on a link g4x

I recently just got a aftermarket ecu (link g4x). And I'm trying to find a good base map in order to base off the motor I have a 5 speed manual transmission from a Honda Civic si, and I have a motor from a 2003 acura rsx, I looked into the sample maps and the only thing that I really see close to that is the DC5 type R integra. So can I use that base map in order to do some adjustments and make the motor run, do I have to make one from scratch, or is there already a base map tune already the k20a3 motor.
