the failure of the import and scene and success of the domestic scene is the "crate motor". imports just dont have crate motors. not sure its its a patent/legal thing or if no one has thought about such an industry, but again, crate motor and import just arent used in the same sentence. import people are just stuck with buying a low mile motor from japan or rebuilding one themselves.

15FG4SI damn with 10000 you can get a turbo kit and build it from top to bottom making over 500 whp. that's if you install everything yourself but everyone has different goals either all motor or force induction

digimon916 not yet at least. Maybe import crate motors will get more popular when motors from Japan and junked cars start to dry up.

29,000 pounds haha

Jimmy M I loled hard

***** oh yeah, that too. kinda missed that in this vid, maybe cause he didn't claim some astronomical number, haha

Bro, my 2010 civic si sedan weighs 2000 pounds with the seats and spare tire out

Devin Stambolziovski no it doesn't

Your QR can make nearly 220whp with barely any mods and a tune. 300whp with 8psi turbo.

I've seen the dynos. It's not a bad return on investment considering how cheap Sentras are. The first gen had issues, though.

XenomorphLV426 I hope to hit 220 when I get a tune in the spring. So far I'm running a header/down pipe, CAI, light weight pulleys, and borla exhaust.

Ruben theIowan yeah, all motor all day

Sounded effen awesome. I'm a v8 guy and I tell ya, that sum bitch sounded just fuckn great. Great build and car.

The gearing he put in this car is literally responsible for like 1/2 of the way it runs and feels. People have no idea what some proper gearing can do to a car. It’s one of the most overlooked things, but can make the most significant difference.

"this head swap" at least the one in this video is not just a head swap on the stock k24z7 block. I am only aware of one person who did a k20 vtec head swap onto a K24z7 block and it required basically all new internals and custom machine work etc etc. I think the stock motor is perfectly acceptable for daily use and fun in general, do a flashpro and a few mods and you will get an entirely new animal however nothing short of swapping the entire motor for this hybrid setup will yield you what this guy has.

It's literally just a headswap dude. It's the same block in the TSX. The bottom end is all OEM.

Joe11Blue the k24a and the k24z blocks are not the same. The head swap on a k24z is not cut and dry like it is on the tsx k24a. Neither The block or head in this guy's car is the oem 9th gen civic block or head. Show me an example where you can directly bold on an a3 head to a z7 block. I'd love to see it.

photobrian925 I never said anything about an a3 head on a z7 block. He has the z3 head. The z3 head does bolt right onto the z7 block.

***** Sure.

Just in case you're reading this George, if you have any more videos on youtube about your cars make sure to link them, I want to see more of it and I'm sure I'm not the only one

Lucien Gauvin True, and Matt was wrong about the carbon fiber hood. It's a performance upgrade.

I was thinking the same thing, nice build.

Lucien Gauvin I was thinking the same thing :)

Lucien Gauvin now I'm inspired to trade my car in for a fast one

if they're not slammed, riced out, or have obnoxious exhaust they are the perfect daily when they are tuned like this.

Yep basically same thing but way better with the K series ive wanted this setup since k24s came out with a rsx type S or R head

Carguments your being too specific fwd can be fun....

Carguments Hondas are the best!

Naw, I simply don't care.

from a gti owner toa civic si owner - GTIs are crap so are 2.Slow Turbo crap that came in them. 500 hp with turbo max is about all those engine can handle....

Lee Williams Lol, shut up bud

Christopher Cook footwell cam requires a non-reusable GoPro mount. They are $20 each. I could go through $100 in mounts every time I went to shoot

TheSmokingTire wow! That's crazy well still love the content anyway. Also may I ask what your opinion on a 20yr old getting an 08 Z06 is. I've become more financially stable and I'm loving the amount of car you get for the money with the Z.

Wow, what kind of mount is non-reusable? I want to see that.

As a fellow 20 year old who had a WS6 (not the same thing, believe me i know) it WILL end up being too much car for you unless you have experience with cars like that. A C5 may be a better way to go.

Sebastian McCabe The only experience i have with cars of that nature are my moms cars. she's let me drive her'16 Camaro SS, her '10 Camaro SS, and her '06 Cadillac XLR. while none of those are corvette level, i feel i handled them pretty well. i will def be taking like driving school for the track, so that'll help.

Marcus Slater Everyone wants to race you when you're driving a modded Civic. It's impressive when a small engine beats a big engine in a race. Other way around not so much.

Stas G. its usually the other way around. everyone in a civic wants to race everyone else

mike23386 both

XxChuyoxX yeah ok 275whp with stock pistons lolll my friends all put down 280+ but never stock with cams lol fully ported cnc heads,stroked and high compression....even this guy is full of shit with his 260whp

"civic-lized"

Vega-Expert You can break 280 with a higher compression, full bolt ons, and e85 on a k20/k24. I'd imagine you're talking pump 91/93.

XxChuyoxX Plus if you swap that engine in a 1992 Civic Hatchback VX you will see insane weight reduction of ballpark 1000 pounds.

There are no aftermarket cams for the 9th generation civics.

Read: "I don't want to get lots of speeding tickets"

Performance, reliability, good gas mileage, cheap. Pretty good choice

I seriously doubt this modded engine is going to be reliable. But yes stock Honda's are very reliable, especially when driven conservatively.

Jeff K Still more reliable than a Ford. Also this engine is modified by all orignal honda parts, The K20 head is Stock.

Jeff K you can beat the shit out of Honda motors and no break a sweat. Like the guy said, it's all about the tune.

tell that to the 24hours of lemons crew, and jalopnik crew. They're notorious under endurance racing for scattering head gaskets to the wind. but for street builds I highly agree with you. :)

I tune my E30 turbo there. Agree with what you say - Shawn is great.

The guy he mentioned is a pretty respectable tuner. I've been running on his tune now for over a year trouble free (E-tune as well). I have heard good things about Church's though!

Zcypot lol no

Zcypot hello....Wilmington in what state? Thx

Johnny Tran?

100k can buy you a better car. if you want best bang for your buck just buy a high end car, if you have 100k lay around in your house and like to build cats then do it. but still 100k spend on a civic which I will never do. my 05 kawasaki ninja zx10r cost me 6k with the same performance as 2015 c7 corvette z06, so I'm a guy like best bang for your buck, and spent my money wisely

***** I was just saying a quote of sarcasm but thanks for the advice I'll tell Jessy that...

He was quoting The Fast and the Furious, bro.

Kawaii Ninja please go re watch your childhood.

haha doesnt end well for them. I literally found this video while i was watching a mustang smash into a civic.

The Borkinator You telling me you have a boosted Mustang and you aren't down for a race?

JD B Maybe when it would be worth by time.

The Borkinator Ohhh so a car has to be deemed worthy of racing the almighty boosted Mustang lol.

ironically this is the same "honda" attitude was referring to. It's guys like this that rev at you at a traffic light.

falagarius 300ishWHP on a miata is a dream come true. You can walk a new M3 with that.

People who want to go fast

You should clarify, for FWD vehicles

me....... and any one that wants to go fast........

nobody needs it. it is very fun though

a little late but its most likely FBO as well

K20 aint making 300 all motor w just full bolt ons lmao. More like 220whp (~245 crank)

Ported head with big cams with a k24 bottom end on E will make 280-320 wheel and on M5 fuel it’ll make close to 350 wheel lol

Saul Armijo with a turbo. Not hating cause I want one myself but Honda should stick to naturally aspirated.

+dAbaPEsTA123 Honda knows what's up, they've been building N/A and turbo race engines for a long time. There is Indycar & they powered both Williams and McLaren to Formula 1 World Constructors Championships in 1986, 1987, 1988 (all outrageous horsepower turbo years), and 1989, 1990, and 1991 with v10's and v12's. The B series, C30A (NSX), K-series, F20, these engines were designed by arguably the best automotive internal combustion engine manufacturer in the world at the time. It still shows up today with 300-400 hp N/A & 1,000 hp turbo civics and crx swaps and S2000's all over the place lol really impressive tbh

Saul Armijo Another toy to play with. And by play with, I mean eat for breakfast.

People don't hate hondas really they hate honda owners. This guy fortunately is not the average honda owner. His car isn't stanced with holes in the bumper and he's not some vaping cholo.

Would be even more impressive with any other 2.4 n/a motor.

I don't care, it's not my car.

Ogstevie ok lol.

I colbolt SS gets 280 the wheels stock

yeah, but a cobalt ss is either supercharged or turbocharged, not naturally aspirated.

No, no it isn't.

Silus Jackson Civics are the best FWD cars in the world...

Yes it is, they are excellent drivers cars.

Stas G. Civics are what keep McDonalds carparks active at night.

Silus Jackson that's where you were conceived.

Fuck yeah. It's been 10 years since I had a CRX and I still miss it. B18's were fetching silly money back then so I never did the swap.

you just described my car!

I own a ef hatch the b18 and manual rack :)

john avdellis I own integra Type r very fun car just hate getting pulled over all the time. lol

i got a turbo crx!!

He has. Check him out on /DRIVE one. He goes to south America to drive a 1000hp R34 GTR in one of the vids. Shits lit.

DailyDabber Oh ok, thanks mate

I thought that was New Zealand and Australia...

Joe11Blue my bad if it was I haven't watched the video in months now. Either way it's still Matt going international.

DailyDabber It's all good. :-)

Nice try buddy!!

lmao

0to60videos all motor is best.

vtec is all motor.

Errathetube that's what I'm saying . VTEC got copied by everyone. Like Toyota Dual VVTi

Barath V university of Pennsylvania. I have a BFA in photography

it will fry the tyres at every corner exit...

and rebuilds the motor lol

Kern O'Leary I wouldn't want the guy to ruin his car just a small turbo to get him in the power band faster something like 10psi lol

I guess you didn't watch the vid, his original setup was turbo and he went back to n/a

10psi on a high compression motor is alot of fuckin boost brotha especially with this "decent sized turbo" you speak of

so? You can do such things with a lot of even older engines from hell do I know companys.

99Lezard99 I was making a statement. What part of that don't you understand?

Anders Kristensen and i can answer when ever i want. If you dont want anyones reaction then dont make a statement dude.

99Lezard99 Yeah you do that.

....yes....

Normally aspirated (no turbo/supercharger).

It means the engine is modified, but still naturally aspirated (i.e. no turbo or supercharger).

there is motor mods but not forced induction

N/A

all throttle no bottle.
