Well as alot of you know I've always built my cars up, but they have always kind of been my daily so I could really never get too deep into the build cause I needed to get to work on Monday. I know all you guys can understand that, no job no honda.
Just an awesome photo!
This is pretty much how I got the car, but it had some really ugly blue wheels on it so I picked up some si's from a friend so it would atleast look decent for the time being. It's a 98 RS (no sunroof) 5 speed of course, but this RS has power windows. I always thought RS had all manual functions but I was wrong. I don't have any interior photos at the moment but I'll get some.
I don't know why I don't have any photos other than the front end, that's just what I took, but they werent taken with this thread in mind so I'll update it with better photography.
Stage 1: Tear down.
Sold the OEM 98 front end, hood, fenders, bumper, lights.
Bay
Before engine removal.
Old power house!!! 2hours after starting, I love how easy hondas are
New shit!
Avid black mounts
What you see here is my cabinet full of goodies, Avid mounts, type-S oil pump, type s oil pan, type s oil pump chain, pump tensioner and baffle, Karcepts A/C PS delete kit, and karcepts shifter box adapter.
And this is the new D series!
Sent to me from Ryan at Autofair honda(k20a.org vender) K24a1(CRV).
Disassembling, seems to be very clean inside, approx 40k miles.
Installing the Type-S oil pump, chain, tensioner, baffle, and oil pan.
Removal of CRV unit with balancing shafts. (no bueno for high rpms)
Plugged oil orfice that use to feed the k24 oil pump, if this isn't done you will have no oil pressure and youll break shit. So I coated a bolt in honda-bond and forced it in there, it isn't coming out, and it isnt leaking!
Difference in oil pump drive chains, type s is longer as you can see, it has a larger sprocket on the pump which cause it to spin at a faster ratio than the CRV pump.
Installed
I didn't get a photo of oil pan on cause I forgot. I started reassembling the timing chain and stuff and realized I need to wait since I'll be installing my type s head soon so I'll just have to do it all over again. I'll take more photos of some of my stuff tomorrow.

Re: Ric's Integra k24/k20 swap, JDM front end. Slow progress, but it'll be perfect :
As the bay sits now. Gross, but itll make the before and after photos that much better.
Guy who had it before me butchered the shock towers, I wish people wouldn't do this type of stuff, now I guess I have to fab up a dome cover(RC style). Atleast then I can dump and not worry about it.
any engine without the balanceshaft setup you need to. the A2 pump is completley different
Ive never used AEM but Kpro is generally easier to find someone to tune it, From what I can tell, there isnt as many guys that are familiar with it that can tune it.
Re: Ric's Integra k24/k20 swap, JDM front end. Slow progress, but it'll be perfect :
S2K clutch master cylinder. Clean clean clean. I wish I could delete my brake booster, but I've talked to a few that have done it and they don't recommend it for daily use.

1992 Civic VX to K20a2 build thread
Not new to Honda game but this will be my first K swap.
Shell: bone stock 92 VX
donor car: 04 Type S complete running car.
Hello everyone,
In the last half year I've acquired one of my teen dream cars, 1992 Civic hatchback. And I've bit the bullet to put a K in it. This is to keep track of all I'm doing to it and to have things somewhat organized.
I used to have a mk4 gti for almost 10 years or so and the Civic...
Question to anyone with an EG/DC chassis.
Currently doing a brake line tuck in an EG Chassis.
I'd like to know whether or not it matters how the brake lines are routed to the prop valve.
If you look at this pic below, it is routed one way (OEM I believe)
However, I went ahead and did some...
