I think that’s why power wiring I’m using. My buddy went to the junk yard and paid $6 for the wiring so it shouldn’t be too bad. I have done it a few times in the past.

bro. my dad said the same thing. he didn’t want me to have a “fast” car. and i went with the 04 civic coupe. one of the best decisions i’ve ever made. ive had the thing for 4 years now. had some problems yeah. but now i just bought my second em2 and going to put a k24 in it!

em2 was my first car, im now 20 and still own it and never plan on getting rid of it. i love these cars! shes gettin a kswap in the very near future

@@zachsautolife ayeee ahaha! i’m 20 aswell, 04 em2 was my first one. bought a second one and getting the k24 ready to swap in (;

Vega Motor Werkz fr bro this makes me feel like I can actually afford to do the swap myself

Colby Maulden everyone makes it sound way more expensive than it is. I think it’s because they go for the high end parts and the best of the best but the way I look at it is like this. Once the K swap is done upgrades can be done slowly.

Please be aware that it is not cheap! You will run into issues like stuck bolts, etc... the best way to go about it is to buy a wrecked car and swap everything over, or take time gathering parts to get the deals. Don't rush!

Before 2021 you could find those for $400-$600. not anymore tho. Too many wanna be car guys running everything

@@kriskan8019 damn that really fucking bums me out. i just got my first car not too long ago. u think itll ever go down again

@@OutSideTheBoxYT2 not really bc the longer it goes the less engines are gonna be available thus making it more expensive.

@@kriskan8019that not the case with the k motors. They are still being made and put in to new cars. There won’t be a shortage for a very long time. Now if you are going B, that’s a different story.

Nice! Everyone was saying to run the EP3 radiator you need slim fans and I didn’t wanna do slim fans unless it was 100% necessary because slim fans don’t bring in near as much CFM as the factory fan plus shroud

Texas Honda Channel this is true. eBay slim fans don’t compare to oem with shroud. I ended up doing mishimoto fan and shroud combo to help with cooling and ac. Slim fans weren’t powerful enough

I’m doing as much research as I can but there is very little out there on the K24 swapping of a Em2 there is some info for the K20 but that setup is slightly different in small ways. But it should all go together like puzzle pieces from this point forward.

@@TexasHondaChannel you have your work cut out for you my friend. There will be much to negotiate during this project but I'm confident you will overcome any obstacles that arise 👍

I will figure more of that out when I get the computer but once I know I’ll let everyone know. Haha kinda just winging it right now

I planned on it

The em2 shifter cables do work depending on the transmission you are using. Most people who try to use the em2 shifter cables that complain about it being too short is using them on a different car but the stock em2 shifter and cables do work. Most prefer getting the si ones though

Hybrid could work if you use a 6 rib belt instead of 7 rib that k24 uses

I use to have a corolla and done so much Frankenstein to it

Same here. I kinda got a before video of the D17 we can compare lol

I’m good like that lol 😂

Loving this series I’m in the process of kswap, well I’m at the tail end of it I see u mention wiring in the radiator switch can u elaborate if found something online but I’m not sure if it was done properly. Looking forward to more

Hey I have a 04 em2 coupe just wondering if you did your swap yet and why you went with the K24 over K20 I was thinking of going K20

@@steviedee71 hey bro, so i went with the k24 because it produces more torque than the k20. you can install a k20 type s oil pump to the k24 and get the same high rev limit as k20(: overall it just makes more power, but i haven’t put the swap in yet bro!!! ive been taking apart the k24 so i can upgrade my cams and redo my timing… (preventative maintenance)

@@steviedee71 you go k20 i’ll go k24 then we can race bro (;

Your welcome!

Take some hose and connect it to the inlet and outlet on the rack and thats basically it

Well from what I gathered so far they can handle a lot of power on the factory bottom ends 400+hp and they have a great tq output and well designed

@@TexasHondaChannel That is definitely a great benefit. For the cost, that definitely seems worth it!

K series swap mount kit were designed around rsx/civic si subframe.

​@@ramb0r0kr888 Which si? Is an EP3 subframe the same as rsx?

@@cyrusmakowski1644 Yes! Both DC5 and EP3 have identical subframe. I believe the Honda and Acura part # is the same. The DC5 has AT and MT trans option as well but the subframe is identical if you would like to source it from AT you can. All swap mounts are made to use these subframe on 7th gen civics (ES1, ES2, EM2). You’ll need the EP3 or DC5 rear mount bracket as well if your mount kit requires you to.

@@ramb0r0kr888with the mounts for the em2 will you also need an rsx sub frame or do they bolt onto the em2 subframe?

@@braydonbeshirs4615 You’ll be required to use the rsx or ep3 subframe and rear mount bracket. Em2 subframe is not an option. Can’t use them because mount manufacturers don’t want to make swap mounts for em2 subframe. Watch the VTEC Academy video “project bruised” Brian will say that. It has something to do with the exhaust market.

How do you make the stock mounts work on the EM2?

@@kevins.3573 Sadly i cant sens pictures in YT comments but here you got something similiar to my setup but I have k20a2 www.k20a.org/threads/2005-civic-es2-k20a3-swap.217073/ 3rd post

The civic hybrid might work without aftermarket mounts because the engine is on the opposite side of the d17.

Depends on your power and budget goals.

I own an EM2 and have friends with RSX's and theyve all told me its not possible. something about the transmission and ECU being on the opposite side as the d- series not matching up but id do some more research!

Why that’s so stupid bruh jus get a 6 speed outta an SI

@@ishatters no bruh...cause then I have to swap more than a transmission. Auto to auto..just cause I can get a pre made kit to do a manual doesn't mean impossible or stupid. Maybe I'm not a gear banging boi bruh like some people.

@@thetreblerebel Seems to me like you're just ignorant(no insult intended) to automotive engineering and the work behind engine swaps. The reason why automatic swaps aren't ever done is because of the legwork you add to the job to keep it auto. If you were doing a b series swap itd be easy, but swapping to an entirely different family of engine you would need to do so much more to get the auto to function. With a manual swap it's as easy as a harness, kpro, some pedals, a shifter and ur nearly good to go. To remain auto you're talking a full ecu swap, probably going to need to swap the cluster and a lot of wiring behind the dash. Might need to mess with the fuse box and the ignition, so, so, so much more to the point where it shouldn't even be a thought process. With the amount of time and money you'd spend you may as well go buy a brand new 2021 civic.

@@CocaineCobain i have a 03 lx coupe thats auto😢ive only had for about 3-4 months and bored already. I want to have some fun without breaking the bank and without losing that honda reliability. Is there anything i can do to make it more fun? Maybe a swap? Are there any good swaps i could do without hella fabrication?

What do u 🤔?

🤣😵‍💫😬 nothing is legal in California 🤷🏿‍♂️

Not only no, but hell no!

Just get it from and RSX

You can't use subframe from a tsx, it's a different chassis. You can use civic si, rsx for fwd, or element and crv for awd. They all share the same chassis.

@@supastr33t if i have a k24a, and wanna go awd, the element or crv subframe will fit on the em2 instead of the rsx subframe?? 🤔

The crv and element subframe is a direct bolt-on to the em2 and puts the rear mount in the correct location to clear the axle for the awd transmission.

Check out the channel pirate garage

Check out japan direct. I believe they sell engines

I saw one for 1500$ or cheaper

Did you watch the video? He said it’s clearly even listed all the prices 😂… 500$

No u can keep it just gotta cut some skin out of ur hood

Yep

Wow

@@lmind2 can you actually?

No

Possible, sure, legal, no.

Y8 is prone to head oil failure. Why would you want y8?

Rsx subframe g

Nothing different. Use the MT rsx, and 7th or 8th gen civic si half shaft. The MT cv axles for 7th gen si on both sides are fine. Those are guaranteed to work. Stay away from rsx type s cv axle because the outboard spine that goes into the hub has more spine.
