Not all K series are the same. If you get a K24 make sure it's either the A2 or the A3, the others just aren't worth it in my opinion. If you can find a unicorn K23A1 go for it, it's already turbo. Science of speed has a K20C1(FK8 and FL5 type R) swap kit. I think their latest version let's you keep the A/C. You can find salvage Type R motors for ~$5k. That's an infinitely better motor than any NA K series. Then again NA K series are just north of $1,000 and there's endless options.
The K23A (RDX) isn't really a unicorn, but I don't know if it actually swaps in easily.
OP is getting his motor from ASMotorsports, which is the way to go. They will supply a RBB K24 out of an Odyssey, with the Type S oil pump already installed. You can opt for 50 degree VTC's and have them put on the correct accesory pulley/alternator setup.
If OP is building a track car and is planning on blowing up motors.... the K24 makes sense for its cheapness and midrange power.
