^ I doubt the header fits as it's made for a K20... unless you get a Euro R cat, I think. I ain't too familar with the mechanical part of the CL9. I know people have fitted a Header made for a K20 on a K24 before, with some adjustments. You can PM JTSo .
as for the Mugen Thermost, it will fit. Not too sure about the oil pan though, because I saw a deal on it as well...but no use for me.

I wouldn't mess with the thermostat. The Honda engineers that designed our engine intended it to run in a very specific temperature range at which it will operate best. If you use the lower temp thermo/fan switch without ECU reprogramming, the engine will never warm up completely and will run rich, negatively impacting fuel economy. It might damage your cat over time as well.
As for the header...that thing is designed for a 2.0 liter engine, so I'm not sure how well it would work, even if it fits. A few other people have talked about getting various exotic race headers for the K20 block (TODA makes one as well) but nobody has ever proven how well they work in a K24 engine with honest dyno testing. Until then, I wouldn't waste your money.
Not sure about the head gasket, but it should fit at least, as the K20 and K24 use the same head. Not sure how the rise in compression will affect things. Not sure about the FPR either. I would imagine the oil pan would fit; there isn't much difference between the K20 and K24 bottom ends.

Note that you might not get huge benefits from a race header over a normal header and high-flow cat, either. The RSX folks apparently need the race headers because there's not enough room for a proper header that bolts onto their stock cat or something -- non-race headers only give them a few hp whereas we can get much bigger gains with normal headers especially with a highflow cat.

A race header also will generally need a tune to produce tangible improvements, especially on engines that have VTC. With a stock or reflashed ECU you are probably better off with a regular header and high flow cat anyway.

I guess I'll have to take your words for it and forget about it.. Thanks people for the advice I really appreciate every word...
It was a nice dream while it lasted though..

Just trying to help you get the maximum performance (especially for your money, that race header is expensive!) at a minumum of hassle.
