noob a K24A2 is a TSX engine, not crv.Originally Posted by dnugs03rsx
Your RSX tranny will bolt up to any K series engine. The only issues you will have are:
1) the head and intake manifold are slightly different than the K20A2. It has a coolant passage in the IM. You will need to buy a hondata adaptor and use your K20A2 intake manifold and throttle body. The TSX has a smaller TB anyway, so using the K20A2 IM and TB will make better power.
2) The deck height of the block is a lot more than the K20A2, so you may have problems getting the hood to close. You will also need to have your ECU chipped, since the TSX ecu will not work. TSX's have drive by wire throttle system. It is a different setup than the normal style throttle cable controlled throttle body. Get a hondata KPRO.
here is a link about some of this stuff.
