EP3 Engine Swap

Hi Brian, 

First off thank you for all the knowledge you shared with all of us on Honda swaps. 

Here’s my situation, I have a a 2002 stock EP3 Si (k20a3) with 280k miles. Just recently did a valve job and found that my intake cam lob is heavily pitted at cylinder 2. I have decided to move forward with doing a swap given the high mileage and cost to fix. 

I have decided on a k24a or a k20a swap for more power, but I’m not sure how that will effect my Ep3 passing CA emission test. I have done some research for both swap and have seen conflicting answers and wish you can shed some light on these swaps and passing emission. I plan on doIng either the following:

K24A Route
1)purchase a low mile JDM K24A and a 6 speed TSX transmission
2)utilize my EP3 wire harness and re-pin for reverse lock out
3) purchase a TSX ECU for Manual transmission w/ matching key immobilizer and key
4) upgrading wheel hub for 36mm
5) keeping all factory sensors and catalytic converter with modified exhaust/ header to fit into Ep3 chassis. 

K20A (Ep3 CTR) route
If I was going to purchase a complete CTR swap from Japan or UK , will I be able to pass CA emission test? I know this a grey area and have found mix answers on K20 and Honda-tech forums regarding this swap . 

Any knowledge from you will be greatly appreciated 
Thank you in advance!

2005 Civic LX with K20

Hi!
I did a swap in 2005 Civic LX automatic trans, with 2006 RSX base auto also.
It looks like the C101 are the same. 
I am looking for ECU connectors pinout for both cars, and if you know which wire from which connector to move around.
Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks
Greg
