Simply the best car channel! I love the dedication to older cars and the DIY spirit.

Man, you seem to actually be doing this the proper way. Great work getting new bolts and completely cleaning everything up. Can't wait to see this vehicle thrive!
11:17 I'm that kind of person too. Me: this doesn't have to be perfect after I'm finished. Me when its time to put everything back: it has a scrach in it, I can't put it back in condition like this.
B is best. Having the best of both worlds has made me really fall in love with the B series even more. It's so simple and easy to work on and I swear it could survive the apocalypse.
The production of this project is absolutely outstanding! The cinematic views to the music, it's just sooo good! And, it's all about an EK9 Hatch! Keep up the work Ben!
My daughter and I watched the series of this K-Swap. We don’t own a Honda but we will be building my R32 GTR so saw a glimpse of how much work goes into these cars. Thank you Ben
If he doesnt run the race urethane ekk2s, and instead opts for the 62a, and also keeps ac, and decides not to run a crazy loud exhaust, he'll keep it. I daily an ek k20a and I'm picky af. I just spent allot of money to keep it comfortable.
As a die hard Honda enthusiast, I respect B series cars but K’s are just a whole another animal! I absolutely love the k20 in my RSX type s and it SCREAMS🤤
I was so fucking excited to watch this video when I saw it in my subscriptions. I love the build series like this the most from you guys so I am truly looking forward to this, especially as it's a Japanese car build and one of my favourite Honda chassis at that.
Never been a Honda guy, don’t even like them to begin with. But the passion this guy has with his car and the energy to work on his car. It brings tears to my eyes. My respects!
I bought a brand new 1997 Civic DX hatch-the exact same car as this. What a sweet ride. Little motor was so rev happy and smooth! And it had the best shifter I ever used; smoother than my new 1972 MG, my new 1987 Z28 Camaro, my new 2005 Civic sedan, my new 2017 K24 Accord Coupe. (Yes, I’m old, lol). I’ve certainly enjoyed your x-country trip and these swap videos. Thanks!!
6:30 you're a better man than me dude, I replaced the AC compressor on my FG1...never even called a shop haha. You _did_ do the right thing though, we should all be this responsible 👍🏻
Damn bro, I was so hyped to see this build finish. You uploaded it on the 22nd and I ship out to boot camp on the 25th, so I have to finish boot camp to see this masterpiece, RIP me 😢
Out of all the motor swapped videos and DIY video channels, this is by far on my top list of videos I have watched. Down to quality and the prep work and how you guys make these videos make me appreciate it so much more. You guys don't seem like clout chasers on youtube and you're genuinely doing this out of pure love for the cars you guys own. That is gold to me. Every popular/big car youtuber seems like clout chasers and just doing it for the views.
So refreshing when you come across a channel and a build series than is aimed at entertainment.. ie a propper introduction to the build.. Not just, hey lets slap a motor in it and boom... I am 30 seconds into the video and loving it already!!! Subscribed...
Love these videos. Recommend Evapo-Rust to remove rust from any rusty parts before painting. Drop it into a jar or bucket of the stuff, and rust will be gone in a few hours. Sand or use steel wool to knock off any remaining buildup.
Under hood looks ok cleared but doesn’t look “just like oem” as you said. You could have simply cleaned and cleared it if all you wanted was the glossy look.
I bought a bunch of yellow zinc 10.8 bolts from belmetric.com for my Miata engine bay to replace a bunch of old rusted silver bolts. Made a huge difference in engine bay appearance!
As long as you don't crack open the hydraulic lines on the master cylinder, you can remove the booster. It has it's own set of seals, and does not make contact with hydraulic fluid (unless the master cylinder is heavily worn, and it would require replacement at that point anyways)
It doesnt. But, I know Ben will also be doing other upgrades in the powertrain, such as a ceramic clutch, lightweight flywheel, limited slip differential, Urethane or Delrin mounts, etc... All of these will increase NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) and will take away from it's smooth driving characteristics as it had. I have actually driven this Civic, and it changed my opinion of Hondas of that era. Can't wait to meet up with Ben sometime this year and get an opportunity to drive it afterwards.
If he runs hard mounts, doesnt keep ac, runs a twin disk, doesnt have decent coilovers, or runs a 3" exhaust, uses race harnesses only, deletes the heater core, or runs a top mount shifter, it's not that it's not streetable, it's that you wouldnt want to use it to pick up paper towels at cvs or hit a drive through late at night. It just becomes an annoyance for normal life stuff.
"...by the time I gotten to sanding the engine bay, my arms were so tired I had to call in my fiance for extra help" YOU LUCKY SOB; do not let her get away! That is a really good rattle can engine bay job; so good in fact I'd believe it was done with a spray gun; kudos for going to these lengths; the new hardware, hood latch etc. is just the icing on the cake, and what separates a great swap from a good swap. Looking forward to more of this swap/build even though I have zero interest in FF stuff.
Damn, I really wanted you to keep this CTR Rep going! The B16B is my all time favorite Honda motor and it kills me to see you take it out of the CTR rep build you have been piecing together over the last year. Welp, do what you gata do. That B16B is a damn gem and I personally think that motor will be triple the cost of a K20 one day.
Going from my B18C1 to a K20a2 and it's honestly feels like V6 torque with the 4 banger high RPM pull up top in the range! Chirping 3rd and 4th on the street and spinning through 4th to 80 in the rain. Open differential is not ideal though so don't forget an LSD! Building hondas is so fun!
