imo with that money spent to stroke it, i would go k24 build bottom end. A built K24 short block will be more reliable and cheaper than fitting a stroker kit to your stock block. Should check out 8th civic and k20a.org for more information.

At one stage i did consider this option too, however decided to go k20/k24 frank. At the end of the day it comes down to the money.

There's a expensive way to yield a result. Stroker kit [$$$$] to 2.4L
And there is a cheaper way to yield the same result. K24A3 about 1k to 2.4L

Not trying to put your or other FN2R owners down, but the AUDM ones are real nuggets imo. I've driven one.

Make sure you get a drive by wire K24a3 and not a throttle cable.

The K24 option will be cheaper. I had one in my DC5R.

k24 > stroker

1. it's cheaper because it doesn't require a rebuild
2. it'll probably last longer because it doesn't require a rebuild; human factor eliminated

the only forseeable reasonf or keeping the block would be to avoid having to re register the engine to the chassis which can be problematic.

cheap yes, registrable? maybe not. remember you need to find a k24 block which is newer than your chassis. so perhaps a k24a3 block is out of the question. maybe the newer k24z blocks from the cu2 will do the trick. will cost more than 1k for the newer blocks.

weigh up the costs, the stroker might be a cheaper option in the end. would use stronger rods etc investment for forced induction in the future perhaps too.

unless its just a track car, then yes its possible

From what I heard to get 2.4 stroker from the K20 BC kit you need to sleeve the stock block as well as rebuilding and thats where human error comes in.

Ask yourself the question if its going be a daily drive or strictly track as the guyz mention rego issues.

I must admit a 2.4 stroker sounds awesome if you got the dosh!
