[webby]

extra race engines for the conti series. $17k a piece from Realtime/HPD....

a point was brought up in a conversation regarding this swap, the pistons are known to work and be fine in OEM builds(multiple on k20a.org run the oem pistons in a k24 block and k20 head)

so if you don't plan to build the bottom end technically you wouldnt need anything other than the complete head, VTEC oil control solenoid, tsx water outlet, tsx head gasket, header and the harness(not 100% certain on the harness) correct?

Does this list still hold accurate for the k20 head swap? The parts that are listed year 2012, I'm assuming those parts are different from the ones in the 2014?? Hence I still need to get those parts??

Also what exactly is "race spec"? There are no part numbers to them or does it mean any aftermarket brand will do for those parts?? Again do they have to be specifically year 2012 or is it because that was the year of the OP civic?

what does the OP mean by pistons, rods 12 to 1?

As usual thanks for any help!!

If you actually read the post. And read through it. Your answer can be found. It says like 4th post in, that race spec just means custom fabricated. And this list was compiled before the 14 came out. I'm 99.9% sure it's all the same parts. The 14 isn't a whole new car. Just cosmetic changes. Mechanically it's the same engine and transmission. Also if you don't know what "12 to 1" means. This really isn't a job for you. Not being a jerk just being honest. 12 to 1 is the compression ratio of the piston.

Lol yea thanks...these type of topics you can't really skim thru. Regarding the 2012 and 2014 parts, that's what I figured. This stuff is new to me and I am learning as I go. I do have to start from somewhere and I plan to go forward with this. This is something I have great interest in for some time now.

I have a close friend who has been fixing his own cars since high school days, so he will be a great reference/pointer guide. Thanks for explaining the compression ratio. It makes sense now that I have been watching youtube videos on the 4 stroke cycle and the basic anatomy of an engine.
