nice find... im sure ur kid is gonna be super happy

It sounds like your kid is going to get one heck of a ride. I'm guessing k20/24 hybrid (k20 head and k24 block).

If someone took the time and money to do this you can bet its not a stock motor. Go to the dyno and post a graph.

Btw: post some pictures of it. Use photobucket or something free...

Dang! I was assuming that it was just a 'swap' with a TSX since it is coupled with a 6-speed transmission. So, since the block is a crv/element block and the tranny is a 6-speed (out of either a rsx-s or tsx) there has likely been some other engine mods other than just the header. Oh, well, so much for the factory sealed reliability I thought I was getting. Rather than go to the trouble of pulling the valve cover, there is an envelope in the glove box with information on the previous owner. I think I'll just call him up and ask him what the deal is with the motor.

i wouldnt mind having a k24a2 in my si

as far as I know, no one makes a kit for the tsx tranny in an 02 civic si (ep3)...the housing is much larger than that of a rsx, so they pretty much don't fit w/o alot of modifying...not worth trouble...

so you can rule that out...

if you blew a k20a3, a k24a1 would be a cheaper upgrade than replacing the stock motor...and its a direct replacement...

there is a kid around here (NH) who did that...the torque helps alot...

 

[maury1965]

No luck locating the previous owner. Swapping the motor would make sense. But where did they come by the 6-speed? I guess I'll have plenty of time to figure out exactly what is in the car after I've given it to my son. I'm sure he'll do it for me. One thing's for sure... it runs like a spotted-ass-ape!!! haha
I tood some pictures and I'll post them shortly.
Thanks for everyone's help. I appreciate it!!!

Yeah, what a find. I hope everything in the motor is good to go. Sounds like the car was clipped in the front end due to the damage and a swap was done. Youll have to find out what head is on there... and dyno it.

thats a k20 head, it doesn't have the water outlet built into the intake manifold like the k24's do...

Good find.

 

[BLouIsGod]
