Whats up Bro. Im doing the same swap. I have a base 5 speed as well.Well got the motor in today, but the stock header and stock sway bar fit just fine. I don't know why people are saying it doesn't work. Mine fit perfect.
The only thing I can think of maybe because it's a base model and not a type-s. Is there a possibility that the type-s utilizes a different sway bar?
Things you need.
CRV Timing Cover Mounts
They say 75a Bushings are recomended, but im gonna use the 60A that i just bought not too long ago.
Do u have Kpro?
What Intake Manifold are u running?
Regardless your gonna need an Aftermaket TB or Type S TB and need to rewire the TPS.
Have to get the Injen CAI if ur gonna run a CAI with the RBC, otherwise u can just make a custom short ram.
I suggest upgrading your injectors as the Base injectors only @ 270cc. I Run full bolt-ons on my A3 and my duty cycle is at 90%.
Im running the DCRH, if i run into clearance issues ill try the EM2, if that fails i run without one.
And u should get at least a 2.5 inch exhaust for the 2.4 Liter Beast
Good Luck:up:
