    I'm not done watching the entire video as yet but it's weird that you're having so many clearance issues with this setup. I have a K-swapped Jazz as well and beyond clearancing the subframe and the passenger side frame rail I've had no touching of anything anywhere, both on stock mounts and currently my polyurethane mounts. So that's really weird. Also my Hasport GDK20 mount looks way different to yours, it's completely flat and doesn't have that curve in it so that might be the major difference here I think?

    • @Drivers.Garage
      @Drivers.Garage 2 місяці тому

      I can’t remember if I mentioned it previously but hasport have redesigned the mounts. They’ve made them nicer looking and strengthened them after a couple of failures (apparently) so this may be some of the issue. I believe the fd2 gearbox is marginally chunkier too so might be pushing it all over a few mm.

    Little note for you mate, you need to move the ABS pump a bit to the left to clear the pulleys and give the pipes a little bend but that will make sense when you try and bolt it up, not sure if you have upgraded engine mounts or not but i would recommend doing something with them as the rocker cover will hit the brake booster as it tilts back, i filled mine with epoxy for a short while and then changed to innovative but i will say they fit like shit but work well when you do get them to fit lol

      I’ve heard some have clearance issues but didn’t think it affected non US cars so I’ll look into it cheers. I do plan on upgrading mine with the old school method of strips of plastic and window weld. See how that works before spending more money 😅

      Great video ! Just preparing my jazz for k24. And wondering if the accord gearbox will fit into it. What about ecu ?can you make accord one works on this. ? It's my first engine swap and just wondering what parts I can be use of my rotten accord. Thanks for any information 😊

      @@k24you a lot of the Americans make the TSX (similar to an accord) evu work but I believe it would need a k20 gearbox due to the dimensions of the gearbox itself. I know the hasport mounts are sold as either k20 with k20 gearbox of k24 with k20 gearbox so doubt they’d work. For me I would convert it over to an ep3 loom and just put an ep3 ECU on it. Not massively expensive in the grand scheme of things.

      Timing belt is a bit of a pig and hard to get at in places but apparently easier than it is in a Megane. Personally I just had the cambelt done when I had the engine out of the car.

      Thank you. I put the front stands under the subframe bolts furthest forward and the rear ones under the support braces that sit just behind the pinch weld. Not sure if that’s right but doesn’t move or distort at all on mine.
