You should order a gasket for the rdx. Not all gaskets are the same. Coolant cutouts are different on some. Always a good rule of thumb to order the gasket for the head you'll be using. S2k pump will be overkill. Type S is almost half the price and will be just fine to 9k. Might run into clearance issues with the oil pan. I believe the 9th gen Si's deal with this issue as well and have to modify the pans.
I know what it takes to build a k24 motor lol. I've been into K series since I first swapped my car in 2008. There are quite a few people who run prb head gaskets on a 87mm and dont have issues. Comes down to piston choice mostly. I took your post about ordering a tsx head gasket as just that. Ordering a tsx gasket for a rdx motor. Never really stated attempting a k20 head right off the bat. You said looking into a k20 head. That's why I posted what I posted. So please, stop being Captain Screenshot. I know my info. Unlike you calling the k23a1 a "hybrid" motor, not knowing what a coolant diverter is or wanting to run a s2k oil pump on a motor that will never even benefit from it. I always try to help people when I see something that isn't needed in builds. I just pass along good info. You don't have to take the advice, but if you can't give any sort knowledge in return and just screen shot information, it just shows that you know nothing and spent 15mins on Google. I don't have any personal issue with you, but you seem to have a chip on your shoulder for me for whatever reason.

I'm happy for you, that you have been into k20 swap's from '08-'15, great life choice... I didn't come across any K20/K24 swap that used a K20 head gasket, and yes I would rather look it up rather then throw it together. I think this thread was made by me, so I would assume I can post what I please... I'm glad I didn't know what a "coolant diverter" (Partition Plate) was, to busy in life. If I go with the K20 head, I will run the S2000 pump; I guess because I can. I don't spend my time looking up car parts and try to call out people on such tedious things..
so going forged or billet to be able to handle the potential TQ?
From what I "Googled" (Not exactly common knowledge) the K23a1 has forged pistons and rods, so I guess you guys that will be running stock internals should be able to take this engine a little bit further.
Crank is back in the block, just waiting on the other parts to get here. After parts arrive, I will be shipping it out to ERL/Drag Cartel. I guess Drag is the distributor now; however, ERL still does the block work. At least that's what I was told by Drag.
I look up how to ship a block in the link below, I've never ship one before.
its going to get the discharge temps from the air to air intercooler. if you mount it so it sees fresh ambient air it will work more efficiently. due to packaging it might not be possible though.

Ok, I have been doing some data logs now after the intercooler pipes are all done. I notice the leaks were gone; however, the boost kept dropping. I was having symptoms what BorgWarner calls "Boost Droop". So, D-Rob suggested that I check the pre load of the turbo wastegate. After many questions about pre load, I maxed it out on the medium boost wastegate. I then took it out for a spin and it felt ok; however, when I went back home to check the data log the boost was still dropping. I didn't want to send that last data log to D-Rob. Overwhelmed with disappointment.... I then look back at the BorgWarner instructions. I decided to 2-day ship a "High boost" wastegate from Full-Race.com. It came in this morning around 10:30 or so. I installed it on my lunch break, and did a data log on the way back to work. I'm currently still shaking from the power up top. (SMH) The car feels crazy sports car fast, not sure if I can daily this thing anymore without getting into trouble (the reason the wife doesn't want me to get a super car until I'm in my 50's).
Sorry, D-Rob I kinda let out of it on the top, it was climbing fast.
Soon, soon. Waiting on this shop to open up here in Oklahoma, that will have a nice dyno. No more traveling far for it now. In the mean time, I'm going to order fuel components that D-Rob recommended. Duty cycle is MAX!!
you've got a rail and a regulator.?. or i thought you should only need a few feet of lines and your good right?
Nah, have to go bigger. -8 an feed, -6 an return, New pump, 10awg wiring, and a bunch of other stuff. That's what was recommended, I added a little more. Kinda went crazy, but just trying to do this upgrade once
Not sure the pump, before I'm currently running the DW300c and upgraded. Still waiting on parts, but when everything comes; I have a lot of work to do. I might just let a shop do it. Depending of the level of difficulty.
Didn't get a response on if my injectors were good enough, but did some research and the 1200cc should be good enough up to 600hp.
