Since we all know that swapping an H22 into your Accord now is considered "rice" (according to at least one member here), I figured that I would post a few pictures of my K24 Swap.
For those of you who don't know me, I am not "new" to this scene. I own a shop, do most of my own work, and I didn't have mommy's credit card to make this swap happen... Actually, Hasport aproached me about doing this project so they could add to their list of custom motor mounts. The business deal is confidential, but I payed for my share of the work performed. For those who do know me... well, you already know the story.
It was a very difficult decision to take out the 280+WHP H22 that I built myself http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=108300 and step backwards in power in order to make the swap happen. I wanted to take a different approach and go boost. I opted for a cheaper route... that being the CRV K24 and an Accord 5 speed trans. Few people know that the K24 CRV head shares the same port/valve configuration as the TSX and RSX Type S. The difference is in the iVTEC opperation itself. For Boost this offers the same flow characteristics of the more expensive engines at a fraction of the cost. I must note to readers that the Hasport kit is designed to fit a different engine than the one I am using, those being the Accord K24 and the TSX engines. My mount kit is a "one off".
Here is the youtube video, if you haven't seen it yet.

Since then, I decided to drive this car around a bit and had a RSX head laying around my shop, so I put that into the mix to see what it would do. For NA duty this was about a 40whp increase alone. We are around 208 whp /167 wtq currently. Other Modifications include the PRB ('06 Civic SI) intake manifold and a Hasport header.
Boost is still on the way...
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:
