---------------------------------

















Done alot of research on the swap but there aren't too many DC K swaps to refer to for info. Had a bitch of a time getting the hollow shift linkage pin out so we took a drimmel to it and cut it out.

I have lots of time and patience (so i like to think). I would say it took a few hours a day for a week or so to get everything out. I've never done anything more than hardwire a deck or install a lower tie bar before so I'm alittle overwhelmed.

Also do I reuse the b18 shift linkage? (thinking not...)

I would like to do a wiretuck/battery relocation but I have no clue where to start. Any tips?

I like your thinking,

From what I have been reading, if you don't already have the 2.5" exhaust I would go with a 3" Ill be running a 2.5" because I already have it, but Ill be upgrading later down the road.

looking good. I just started on mine 2 days ago. You are correct that you do not use the shift linkage from your B18. as for the wire tuck there is a huge thread on Honda-tech just about that.

Heres the link to the wire tuck thread.

good luck bro. you can take out the stock p/s pressure hose, you wont be using it.

remember, once you remove the passenger side engine mount there's no turning back.

if you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

Don't say stuff like that damnit! lol. There is alot I don't know yet.

1. One day I would love to boost it, funds providing of course. What would be the smarter/easier choice to go with for a radiator? Half sized single or dual core? Full Sized?

2. Which ecu would be best? I will be getting K-Pro before my first start. I plan on one of the 6spd transmissions & would like reverse lockout (dependant on which ecu I choose?)
Does anyone sell a Kpro'd ECU to save me some time and maybe money?

3. I don't really know what to do about all the harnesses etc. Do I need a full K24A2 harness with my motor? Do I buy a k20(a#?) harness? Should I go with hasport or hybrid for the harness...?

If you keep your eyes pealed there are people from time to time selling their ecu and kpro together already set up other then that I haven't seen any shops that sell the package already complete.

Personally I would go for a dual core half sized radiator.

Exclamation Re: DC K24 Swap

u don't need a dual core radiator but it would be nice. the stock dc one will be fine. I am running a eg one with no problems. yes take out the line PS it will be hard to when the motor will be in. make sure to get the correct setup or ur shit will be pissing fulid everywhere. car looks good it should be nice. take it nice and slow no need to rush. keep the pictures comming.

Oh no worries I'm nice and lazy so the car is taking its time so I can research and bug people on how to do it correctly. Do I need a completely different PS line or keep the one I have just remove it for the time being?

I just finished my TSX swap. You can't use the TSX charge harness or engine harness. HOWEVER, you DO need the crank sensor plug on the TSX engine harness so make sure you get the engine harness. THe TSX has a drive-by throttle setup which doesn't work with Kpro so you have to swap the throttle body as well.
