Can you put in the k24a jdm motor in the 9th gen si? If so what’s all needed? https://dallasjdmmotors.com/honda/engines/k24a-rbb/

I'm not familiar with other K series motors, but what would be the benefits of a K24A motor compared to our stock K27z7 motor?

I’m not completely sure but my motor is done for and a lot of people swap the k24z3 or k24a because they’re practically the same motor, some even say it’s better but I don’t know any truth to that

You're in the Honda world baby ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

all jokes aside, yes its possible but its not a straight drop in. If I'm not mistaken the biggest issue in terms of getting it to physically fit in the engine bay is the exhaust header. The K24A header is a 4 port, the original 9th gen Si engine (K24z7) has a singe port exhaust. So you're going to have to get a custom one made, buy a custom one pre made (only seen one and it was stupid expensive), or do what I've seen others do and bang the 4 port exhaust header with a mallet to make it fit / clear the firewall. I know the placement of the oil filter is different on the K24A as well, but I don't think that's an issue as its common to relocate it to that same spot on the K24Z to run different oil pump setups that require an adapter.

now for ECU/electronics and all that you could get it work just fine but you'd have to have a ktuner or flashpro to get everything to work correctly. This is almost certainly something that has been discussed in depth @ K20a so I would search over there and/or ask around, a lot of super technical guys over there

Could you link me the exhaust header that would work. Been looking for one online and can’t find it. If not i guess I’ll have one made

I believe the k24a was the one in the TL that has vtec on both intake and exhaust side unlike our z7.

You would need an aftermarket exhaust manifold or a 4 to 1 connection and some custom piping from there to the catback.

Oil filter might be relocated and you can upgrade to the type s oil pump too.

It pretty much drops in otherwise using the same engine and trans mounts

What’s the power differences? Also yeah I figured I would need a custom exhaust mani but I can’t find one online. Should I just get one made or do you know of any?
