In this HUGE episode we are K-swapping a super clean (and somewhat expensive) EK Honda Civic we got off a granny and dropping in a K24 we got out of a cheap and grotty Honda Accord Euro we got off a mate called Sprongle. Will it transform our grocery getting slow hatchback into an epic performance vehicle? Let's find out!

@@LegerAndCo C-series back in the day, was a hell of a lot more expensive. And more rare. Compared to the 2jz being more numerous compared to C-series. Which is why I believe, it hasn't had a chance to have as much development from the aftermarket sector. compared to the rest of the engines out there. Guarantee the c series it would hold more power than a k series with the standard block. There are more k series out there less expensive and more aftermarket support that's why people go k series. As for what the c-series could achieve, really is unknown as there is not enough examples out there that could define what it could do.

What an absolutely terrific sound coming out of that set up!! Wow!! For an engine/drivetrain putting down under 200 wheel horsepower and only 2.4 liters, that engine with that specific exhaust matched up delivers a very sweet low tone resonance that rises all the way up to redline even when those ripping tones enter the mix. Absolutely perfect. The beauty on the ears of carrying that low resonance all through the range of acceleration is that it never begins to turn into a painful shrill of all higher engine notes inside the cabin. That perfect.y blended tone ensemble tells you this thing is breathing perfectly for its tune which delivers that hard and smooth acceleration. It’s no wonder why folks are so addicted to that engine series. So cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Before the crap talking begins, I had an EJ8 Civic coupe that I swapped in a fully built LSVTEC (1.85L DOHC VTEC) with fully forged internals (CP .030" over pistons and Eagle rods) micropolished, balanced, and knifedged crank, and I swapped on a PR3 B16B (Civic Type-R) head, Skunk2 Stage 3 cams, 3 angle valve job, Skunk2 dual valve springs with titanium retainers, and Skunk2 Lost Motion Assemblies. It had WAY too many mods to list in a KZfaq comment, but with a Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo on 34 psi it made 709 whp. Even a stock K24 with supporting mods like ARP head studs and a MLS head gasket) can make 550 whp with good tuning. Brian Gilespie is a legend and his crew make some AMAZING products for our cars. Hell, back in the very early 00s I built a 1992 Acura Integra hatch with a stock B18A1 with a 5 speed with a junkyard sourced turbo kit and it went on to make 257 whp at 15 psi on an old worn out 1.8L DOHC non-VTEC and it still had ice cold AC and was able to make 28 mpg with the bigger injectors. Hondas are SO easy to make a fun daily driver.

Though, with not much mods I was making almost 400awhp and drove it like that for 5 yrs with no issues before I sold it. That's another story.

Huge fan of this project and how the video came out. Great watch, loved all the characters and the Civic looks incredible by the end. Job well done boys!

You guys build some of the best cars in the world,not just because of the power or sound, sometimes the way you build a car and the style of the car is just amazing,not too flashy,not too over the top...just perfect.Saludos from Spain

I'm surprised it made only 215 because mine made over 230 without a drag cartel cam K24a RBB3 head. I definitely think it has a lot more left in it. Because with a cam I was expecting 250 whp+

Brian is a legend, he was competing with hondas all the way back in that drag racing reality tv show where they raced for slips 😁

I think the show was actually called Pinks.

How awesome is Brian! what an inspiration and absolute legend to come all the way to Australia to help out with the build. Way to go!

You guys are one of the biggest reason why I moved to Australia and study automotive I am currently at Sydney working and studying automotive to follow my dream since I was a kid. I’m from the Philippines btw. Hope to see you guys and learn more about cars here at Sydney.

One thing to touch on when doing a swap like this is, I had to purchase a 2006 civic Si Brake bias valve, With the gearbox being on now the other side to stock in my Aerodeck, the ABS unit would not clear the downpipes (4 Branch) Thus doing this is also an abs delete so what ever you do please do Not take the bulb out of the dash when it shows up as a fault ;)! Great video guys My has sport mounts were beautiful too.

Drive shafts were also an annoying issue I had, I put the ends from my MB shafts on to the K20 shafts, and because of the position of the engine in the car and the wheelbase of the MB / EK I got binding issues and a bad rumbling noise when going over bumps. I eventually bought some Correct length custom shafts, Not cheap but seriously worth it. Making sure you have the correct Loom for the engine bay is also important as some d16's dont have the wiring for the v-tec solenoid. Luckily my car did, I got my Loom for all of this stock ecu adjustments from a company called Boost works and it was spot on, Probably the hardest part of the build though by far figuring out how to adapt the k20 ecu to to the car. Sorry for the rambling, Just here to try and help best I can! Share the love

Wow, what a throwback. I was doing 90's Honda swaps and Brain was an 'OG with HASPort / LoCash.

Now that this has been done, it would be cool to get Mark (Frankenstein's Motorworks) to either make more power out of a 2AR/2GR in their stock chassis or in a MR2.

@jeffman3 7 ай бұрын

Marc is tickling the underside of 300whp with the AR and recently cracked 400whp with the 2GR. I just want to see MCM and FMW come together to build something like a 2GR SW20. 😉

@Borcheltski 7 ай бұрын

@@jeffman3 and all while NA, imagine how crazy the number would be under boost. I am almost willing to say that the 2AR/2GR will be the next K-series when those prices start to go up.

Yes! Hes done some really cool stuff with the 2ar

Every time I’ve had mates come to my place to work on my project, it’s been a disaster. I’m super jealous of the camaraderie you have with friends and people. Much love to you guys for this project and look fwd to seeing more.
