k20a2 oil pump on a k24 is always a great idea man.The k24 steel oil pan will give you more ground clearance too.


its a good idea to install this oil pump now so you can upgrade the motor next

OK. If I run the k20a2 oil pump will I be able to still use the shorter k24a2 oil pan or will there be clearance issues between the k20a2 pump and the k24a2 pan? Also, what is your thoughts on the oil cooler upgrade? is it worth the hassle?

definitely go with the k20a2/z1 pump. your going to need the oil pump tensioner/chain/guide from the k20 as well.

as far as the pan goes, your clearance would be a little less with the k20a2 pan, but your fitment with the pump would be good with no modifications.

if you want to run the steel pan with the k20a2 pump, you will need to bang in the pickup enough to make it clear (which i wouldnt really reccomend)

ok sounds good. Idk maybe i'm being retarded, but do you think i'd be able to swap the pump with the engine still mounted into the car? It seems like there would be enough room, but I've only seen people do the oil pump install on an engine stand...

it would be pretty difficult considering you have to mess with timing to get the pump chain off and such. your best bet would be to do it with the motor out of the car..:shoot: i know, shit sucks.

lol ok yeah I hear you. I need to install a 50 degree vtc gear anyway so I guess i'll be pulling that the motor back out. Thanks for the input.
