So do we know what really happened to this motor? Did the retainer break? Or did the keepers somehow pop out? I mean, did you find the keepers and the retainer still in tact, but just not where they should be??

Retainer is split in half. Hard to just lose a keeper, IMO. Robert, trade in the wifey's RSX for an xA, and then drop Wes' K24 in your Porche... The torque tube deal does a lot to sidestep RWD transmission fitment issues. That way you get reliable transportation an unreliable hype setup so you can be one of the cool kids.

A k24 in the Porsche? Nah, its just fine with the stock 170,000mile turbo motor, id hate to lose MORE power, the momo rip off steering wheel is bad enough...

You wouldn't lose power, just reliability! I confirmed last night that i-V-tech is hype; I was able to make more power last night on 0-30 degree cams of the K-car than is needed to propel a 2200-2500 lb drag car into the 9's a la Scott's RX7. Further into the 9's, actually. No BSing, 5 and a half hours strapped to the rollers and 83 pulls says Joey is right.
Project low budget RWD K-crap will be a success just locking the intake cam at 0 and running a $350 Megasquirt. I might get snappy and modify a Honduh distributor to run off the timing chain, though, which would be major cool points and **** off the i-V-tech ******* to no end. Good stuff.
PS - Joey's anti-K-series tech info of the day: you'd think individual coil on plug would be a more powerful ignition than a traditional Honduh distributor with one coil that has to charge four times as often to supply four spark plugs with fire. In the case of K-series units you'd be wrong. I've made more power off of a stock ignition B-series running low 10's and high 9's AFRs than a K-series can produce at the 11.5:1 range without misfires manifesting. I had to take freaking 26-27 psi pulls at 12:1 AFR, which I'd never do on a B-series I can run 11.5:1 on.

Trying to modify a standard honda dizzy isn't a half bad idea, and would also save alot of choices as far as either MS or ******-pro goes. Can a honda dizzy rotate backwards and still give a correct readout? Maybe some kind of reverse gear drive to make it rotate the correct way. 
You could make millions off of HT **** if you could pull this off
