Honda Accord K24 Engine Swap - Wrenchin'
The first thing you're going to stumble on is the engine. The Honda Accord K24 engine is going to be the easiest to get and 95 percent of the time, the cheapest. They are just everywhere. We paid a bit more for our '05 unit, but it only had 35,000 miles on it for the engine swap.Technical
In the previous "K-Swap For Less" article (April issue), I highlighted some simple ways to cut the cost of installing K-power. After gathering information on pricing and parts availability, I had estimated about $2,500 coming off the total cost by utilizing a K24 motor from an Accord/Element/CRV, instead of the usual K20A2 from an RSX Type S. This time around I'm documenting the actual swap process, but instead of just watching, taking notes, and snapping a few pictures, I thought I'd actually perform the swap as if I'd just read the original story.
