    In this video, I introduce my buddy, Matt's 91 Jeep Wrangler that is getting K-Swapped. This may be the worlds first K-Series in a Jeep, If not let me know! This Jeep is getting a K24A2 4 Cylinder out of a Acura TSX mated to a GM 4l60e auto transmission with a FABbot adapter plate joining the two. We have a group of dudes coming together with ideas to get this Jeep going with some Honda power under the hood. Stay tuned for more content on this build. Like and subscribe to make sure you don't miss anything. Comment with any questions and I'll be answering them in the next video.

    I am all about a K swap for a lot of vehicles namely a Miata or something light and quick. One of my Jeeps would not be my first choice. The K24 doesn't offer the low end torque that we benefit from from off-road. I would stroke a Jeep 4.0 which is what I have. Other choices would be a VW TDI, 4BT. or LS long before I would consider a K motor. Defiantly going to follow along to see how it does.

      if the 4cyl 2.5s with the right gearing can still sling 40s, i see no problem with a K series having any issues being able to turn big tires, let alone after 5-10 psi from a turbo. i couldn't see how that motor would really struggle.

      K24 stock makes about same low end torque as the 2.5 but easily outpowers even a stock 4.2 let alone a clapped out 25 year old one, specially in the upper end plus it has a higher rpm meaning you dont have to shift as often. Power is power matter where it comes from. Torque is also just a measure of gearing so with the right gears it should work really nicely (not sure. Since i dont know anyone whos build a k-swap jeep) but then again this is why i think this is a genius idea.

    So ive been looking at a K Swap for a while and havent been able to find alot on it. The motor has a ton of after market support. Halteck has ECUs for it along with wiring harness. Also may be able to get a 4 into 1 header from maybe ebay to run it out the back. There are also some drive by cable kits too unless you guys are doing drive by wire. look at boostedbois youtube they have a ton of Kswap info. they just put a K power paint in a jetboat and turboed it. may send them a DM and see what they say.

      2jz isn't very good in offroad applications, non turbo versions aren't very good and the turbo version (unless you do a sequential twin) are lacking in low end power and are very laggy.
      the 2j is a great drag or drift motor as both of those you stay in the upper rpm range and in boost, not something you do offroading.
