what are you guys doing as far as maintenance for the k24 before it goes in? Seems VTC gear, type s oil pump, spark plugs, and maybe head gasket just to freshed up the motor? I know the oil pump is basically mandatory. I'm getting my motor locally with about 100k on it.

Head gasket too? If I was breaking it down that far I'd be doing Wiseco pistons, Saenz rods, and sending the head off to 4P.

I sent an email to NorthWestJDMMotors and tried to call. No answer so far. I’ll probably get a motor this month or early next month.
RSX Type-S oil pumps are in short supply like many things. KPower is prioritizing selling these to people who bought their swap kits, and I’m 98% sure it is required to use their oil pan. FYI.

I’m not sure if their kit will work with the swapped oil pan, but the pump probably will.
Still backordered or in short supply.

That oil pump is good insurance like they said, but I won’t be revving the motor out to 9k.

I’m still debating what I want to do. I may stay NA/E85 for a few years and then go turbo after nursing school, or I may go with a modest turbo build and then do a built motor and the works later. If I do a turbo now, I may stick with sub 400whp for now, so fairly modest goals. The K24 can handle 450whp with stock internals, but I don’t want to be near that for now. Part of that is for reliability with the motor and part of it is for reliability with the tranny, and so I can keep the current clutch. 8k 350-400whp is plenty for now, and it approximates what I had before.
I’m debating on what I should do for a turbo. I would want lower turbo lag, and I don’t want the boost threshold to be too high in the powerband, but I would also prefer something that is large enough that it pulls all the way to redline and doesn’t fall off. The GTX3071R seems to pop up a lot in my searches, but I don’t know about all the differences in the GTX series. Seems like there is a lot of overlap because a given turbo can have different ar housings and internals, and it just makes choosing a “perfect” difficult—options overload. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overchoice
