Hi guys, I would to do a k swap for my Integra dc2. I want to do budget build. Hopefully i can purchase the engine, transmission and other stuff. Lovely videos
@@VTECAcademyI just went through all the videos on this k23 I must have missed something cuz I couldn't find out how it was built I wanted to duplicate it just for fun cuz the engines is so cheap
Man i cant even find an decent original b series to swap anymore. Breaks my damn heart. Really had my heart set on one more gsr ek hatch swap. Maybe a b20vtec is the only way now
In your fit test drive video I think you mentioned something about only being able to get a few pulls in due to heat soaking. In this video I notice you using the stock radiator, wouldn't that radiator be undersized for the larger engine? Or are Honda radiators interchangeable? Or maybe because this is intended for street use it's no big deal. I'm looking to learn more from professionals like you guys! I love your videos, I've picked up so much already!!!
Yall want me to bring my EF out there? Would love to get it swapped by the people who know it best, But I probably am one of many in line... Either way, love the content been watching since I got my first Fit!
This is so strange with the A4 block and A2 head swaps, ive literally done the same swap and it was close but didnt touch. Ive heard back and forth online of some people having it work and others not. So i wonder what is changing here that allows some to work? Which headgasket did you test with and was the vtc gear unloaded to 0 degrees? Update: ok rewatched, from what i could see you guys didnt use a head gasket, no wonder it touched! This was my conclusion, it wasnt the valves it was the pistons clearance to head and it is below min spec that a builder would want for clearance, BUT.... it works. Its a budget engine, if it runs it runs. I can't believe you guys went thru all that without testing with the headgasket! Lol
Needs a bigger header an exhaust an you'll benefit from those mods imo bringing more air in an not getting it out any quicker is most likely why you didn't gain anything from those mods. It's just an air pump, bad ass ride though appreciate the build an all the hard work guys
Hey, vtec academy my 2010 acura csx with automatic transmission my daily drive i awap the K2.0Z2 with a K2.4A2 TSX engine my problem is that I am still not available able to get an ECM to run the k2.4 i bought the ECM from an acura csx type S which is a manual transmission car is there any way i can swap in that ECM to run the K2.4
@@VTECAcademy ty currently my civic is in the Philippines I'm in California trying to score some parts for. My d16 engine jdm engine in my country is so expensive really much better here in America sir
@@VTECAcademy most of the local crv engine are automatic what transmission can we use to make it manual sir? 1997 crv engine here in America how much it will cost or do you sell engine maybe I can afford and take it apart put in a box and shipping to Philippines
How do we work straight through? Would’ve probably been three or four days, not including shipping time for the parts we bought. We did it over a three month period.
I'd rather teach someone that has good character that doesn't know much than someone thats good with a bad attitude. Dude with th afro is good shit man.
Hi idk if you guys read comment sections but Hi I did recently drove accidentally with my e parking brakes on I smelled burning .. I only drove for roughly 5-10 minute going 35-45 miles per hour , what further consequences or list all please I was trying to get to the gas station
I ask because I wanted to know if I want to be informed and I know Obviously get it checked out but I wanna be prepared if necessary to make any fixes thank you!
@@VTECAcademy I just had alignment today cuz of LCA bushings replacement , they told me the rear camber arm needs to be replaced is this a good recommendation from them or nah
Whats fascinating to me is that this well known tuner isnt thinking about the ways to really make HP and TQ numbers with a K24. Granted its a budget build, but dropping a K20 head on it and possibly some higher compression pistons, theres no reason it shouldnt make good numbers NA. Probably end up cheaper than FI as well.
VSS will never work because your using a 05-06 PND ECU with a transmission that is not 05-06 but rather 02-04. Its a 5 spd base ecu and should use the trans that have speed sensor in the front of transmission rather than by the differential. Trans with VSS in front of casing those would be considered countershaft driven (2005-06). Not sure in KTUNER. Also, the 05-06 ECUS hardware are different, that's why people use 02-04 then send ecu to hondata to modify to work with 05-06 trans and speed sensor. So basically if you were to get a 05-06 5 spd then you would be in business, but you would still probably need VSS converter for your older cluster.
Hey Brian thinking about vtec k swapping my 2015 acura ilx, you know by chance any certain model i should use. Should i use the same transmission? Would like to go manual.
Where in the world did he get these numbers from? k24a4 for $400, the cheapest Ive seen online is $899, transmissions damn near the same price, and a stock accord ecu around $200-$250. This has got to be a reupload of a video from like 10 years ago when the price of Honda parts was cheap and affordable.
We bought it from Pull-n-Save in Phoenix AZ. That’s normal pricing and is still the same here. On a 50% off day I purchased 2009 TSX engine and 6-speed manual transmission for $300. The TSX head I used in the video cost me $60 if I recall.
But you are not recommending the 07 year K series. Any other year is not worth the money.. please do a K series the proper way vs having to rebuy a correct engine to save money vs doing this way that wot cost more down the road
good job old souls. would love to be around you guys to learn first hand the stuff that aint in books.
This is a HUGE help man!!! About to do the same thing so this is invaluable.

With some modifications to the case.

What track was that?
It would be awesome if you guys were willing to sell that adapter plate for the intake manifold that turns it into a center feed!

You need vtec killas on that A4 to make power!
When is the next k fit video coming out ? I’ve been waiting lol
Probably next week.
The struggle is real! Working on it today and tomorrow.

I feel like the major problem was the catalytic converter.
@VTECAcademy yeah def agree with ya on that too man those things are a huge bottleneck
Can a 6 speed 4wd subaru wrx sti engine and drive train go into 09 elantra sedan 4 door gl

I've never written one for that engine. It's pretty similar though. What car?
I'd like to swap it into a DC integra

How long was the process to turbo the entire car and change the whole engine to get it to where it is today
How do we work straight through? Would’ve probably been three or four days, not including shipping time for the parts we bought. We did it over a three month period.
What throttle cable braket did use for the accord throttle body?
Element throttle cable with a bracket that we made.
@@VTECAcademy 🤔 how can I buy one? They don't have anything for this throttle body.
Can you put the k23 head on an 07 crv? How different would it be from this ?
The same.
@@VTECAcademy what about ecu ? The crv doesn’t really have any aftermarket options.
Anyone know if I can use everything from a 04 Honda Accord or does some parts have to be 05? Thxs
k24a2 i see, why you say 160hp? and on dyno it does 160 at first. But the k24a2 has a vtec head and 190hp correct?
200 actually. We had a K24A4 originally. 160HP. Sorry if I misspoke.
Did you bench bleed the master before using the Reverse Brake Bleeder?
Nope.

Where can i get that tshirt with the k24 on it

The KTuner has functions that allow it to work with the CSS. It also outputs a correct signal for the cluster.
What radiator is that?
CSF K swap radiator.

2012-2015 Civci Si.
Your transmission has a lot to do with putting that bower and power band down, accord trans are not that great .
We switched to an RSX transmission with LSD.

These are numbers you get at a pick and pull junkyard. I live in SC and I can pull a full TSX K24A2 longblock for $300.
Exactly. That is so cheap. 😂😂😂
They're 450 at the junk yard here in Houston as well
But you are not recommending the 07 year K series. Any other year is not worth the money.. please do a K series the proper way vs having to rebuy a correct engine to save money vs doing this way that wot cost more down the road
We didn’t recommend one way or the other. Of course there are some engines better than others.
