Just watched the video, that thing really moves! And no wheel hop when spinning?

None, and no noticeable torque steer either, steering is very neutral.

Does the transmission on the K24 cars have equal length axles?

Yeah they're almost exactly equal.

My Saturn does neither of those lol

I get wheel hop just about every time it breaks loose and if it had enough torque I’m sure it would torque steer like mad, my axles are nowhere near equal length...

Honestly I thought about Redline axles be amuse the passenger side uses an intermediate shaft and a (I guess) carrier bearing

I have both an auto and manual Fit in the family. The auto is fine to drive but fuel economy is very underwhelming. My brother gets low 30's in the Fit, while my partner gets mid 40's in her manual, in the same driving conditions. Granted, different drivers, but still surprising to me considering the auto has very significantly taller gearing.

Two questions:

1. What intermediate shaft did you go with? If your axles are near equal length I'd like the same vs. a long/short one.

2. You mentioned needing to wire up A/C. Did CJ's harness not have that covered or were you referring to the compressor? I've asked that in my own thread on Insightcentral.net. I haven't concluded if I can run the stock TSX compressor on the K24a2 with a modified AC hard line.

1) Accord/TSX intermediate shaft with Hasport axles, it's a lot longer than the RSX one.

2) The plug to the Accord/TSX compressor I used is very different from the plug on the JDM RSX wiring harness I used. The Hardline needed to be modified but otherwise should work.

I'm thinking about EGR right now. My understanding is that the A2 motor did not have EGR cast into the manifold like most other K series, because it was already pretty clean at idle due to cam phasing. I wouldn't know where to begin with adding one.

EGR can be tapped at the merge collector or even just off where 2 of the pipes merge. It might affect the O2 sensor, but I'm guessing it won't be an issue since I think the Hondas have a single sensor anyways and there's cars out there that pull EGR from before the sensors from only half the cylinders.

Worst case, it acts a little funny and you just plug the hole.
