Awesome video Manny. I have a EM1 and thinking of going K series in the near future. This video helped me understand a bit more of what it takes to make this swap possible in a EK chassis. I'm looking forward in seeing your next video.
Manny that is a CLEAN EK and an even cleaner K swap. I'm from Brandon, FL but I live in New Brighton, PA and you don't see many Civics in that kind of shape around here. I have a 97 EX Coupe with a JDM D15B VTEC block with a D16Z6 head using a Y8 engine harness, S8G JDM Del Sol Si transmission, XS Power manifold, Evo III Big 16G turbo, DSM 450cc blue top injectors, P28 ecu with stepdown harness, CX Racing FMIC, BOV, piping kit, Megan Racing 3" cat-back, and a Xenocron ZIF socket, SST chip, and basemap. It's an absolute mutt but it's fast for what it is and it's mine. I would've loved to have been able to just buy an entire brand name $3000 kit all at once but I pieced mine together and maybe paid $1250 for EVERYTHING. I already had the manifold and the injectors. It isn't easy with having two kids, a wife, and a mortgage, but I do the best that I can with what I've got and it's turned out pretty decent so far. Anyway man, awesome Honda. Love it.
I've been into Volkswagen for a long time and changing it up and bought my first ek. Just bought a k24a2 block and k20z1 head. Hope it turns out as clean as yours. Great video and nice car
Damn! for real? you swapped this month ago? I also swapped my 1994 EK with a k20z1 from a type-s! yours is looking tight! but i swapped mine a few months ago. Great job on this one! adore it. gotta see this on the street.
For Eli c have you heard of the term built not bought. You probably never built any thing in your life, you probably bought everything. I bet you don't even change your own oil. how u gonna tell someone all that money spent shit. This is all worth it. It's about the process, passion blood and sweat. Good job Manny Rican, much respect.
looking back on this video, being almost done with my build, idk if i would want to take my car apart this far. I did a f22b1 in mines and that was fairly easy...the only part i hate about this kind of work is the many bolts and screws you encounter and putting the car back together correctly.
So I am not familiar with the honda engines that much, but it seems you installed bigger engine, tuned, but no turbo... I think this engine deserves the same beautiful exhaust manifolds, but a bit shorter where combining in one, so the turbo can be stuck down behind the engine, kind of low, for good lubrication, and leaving one air way to the cooler... It would have been crazy...
Very good video. While I generally dislike background music (would prefer you talking about the details of your work as you go) at least this bit by Escala is not obnoxious like some of the other crap that is on some of the other K-swap vids.
Loved this video. God I love civics but im such a noob when it comes down to getting dirty :/ whats the best way to make a civic a lil faster without turbo n up or supercharger? If I asked that question right lol. Thankz man
@Radical power oh ok, u made it sound like u knew me lol, like u gotta see it on the street. But yea i did it like a month & half ago. I love this swap! Im about to build the block to the head, change every single part on the whole inside of the motor. Fully upgrade! Gonna be a BEAST! You got vids of ur swap?
So if I use a k20a2 harness instead of the z1 harness I can use the regular kpro instead of getting a kpro modified for the z1 with the jumper harness ?
Hey man good job on your swap! I have a couple questions for u...first off what conversion harness did u end up using? Also isn't the z1 drive by wire? I noticed u have a throttle cable, did u somehow get around the electronic throttle? Good job on the swap man, k all day baby!
Manny Rican Impressive numbers! My buddy's old EM1 Si with a K20A2 swap made 223whp I believe. Forgot how much torque he made though. Here's our race and I made 204whp/157wtq on my H22A: watch?v=843j6ncrFu4
@Ron Na yo. Never went to school for auto tech. It was a learning experience for me. I had a swap dvd from hybrid racing as my guide lol. Don't get me wrong I do know the basic & since I did this swap I know alot more. Really wasn't hard as long u have all the right tools.

Dude, wear safety glasses next time you're under a car drilling something, especially drilling through metal. Those metal shavings will mess up your eyes real bad. I know, I'm an aviation mechanic of 13 years and have seen it.
LlLnig I could of... but it would be slow.... I smoke rsx all day bro... it was a project... still would of have to pay for the upgrades if I went that route
And you did all this for 8 grand? damn, kinda much. When i just bought the engine i paid about 4500. all the other mods including headers, manifold, exhaust etc costed ~2200 grand The guy wanted to swap his type-s with a v6 or something. But the k20z1 which i bought wasn't all to nice either.
Awesome video Manny. I have a EM1 and thinking of going K series in the near future. This video helped me understand a bit more of what it takes to make this swap possible in a EK chassis. I'm looking forward in seeing your next video.
This is tight! Sick swap! Props man.

Very nice work! I have a 97 Civic Coupe and my project is do the same. Can you make more videos of this car?
good job.. and this music thou..
thanks yo
Are you able to use 05-06 kpro k20z1 harness for ek kswap?
Wow isn't the radiator frame support welded in?? It looks welded in my bros 1994 eg hatch, does it absolutely have to come off for the preparation?
jmendoza328 yea it suppose to be welded. But I had crashed it before swap & changed it out & never weld it back. But yes they all come welded on...
Ok I had forgot about this comment lol, and yeah I assume you welded it this around.
is there anything you have to do to the speed sensor for the speedometer to work? or is it just plug and play?
you had to use a type r subframe in the front?
TodaVtecKiller na i used dc2 subframe..
Looks nice.
Loved this video. God I love civics but im such a noob when it comes down to getting dirty :/ whats the best way to make a civic a lil faster without turbo n up or supercharger? If I asked that question right lol. Thankz man
@Radical power oh ok, u made it sound like u knew me lol, like u gotta see it on the street. But yea i did it like a month & half ago. I love this swap! Im about to build the block to the head, change every single part on the whole inside of the motor. Fully upgrade! Gonna be a BEAST! You got vids of ur swap?
rogers1188 thanks bro... I had to do it right. No cutting corners.
So if I use a k20a2 harness instead of the z1 harness I can use the regular kpro instead of getting a kpro modified for the z1 with the jumper harness ?
Wondering why u didnt just go hybridracing shifter box that bolt right into the original hole instead of cutting it? Nice work! Very dedicated!
***** thanks bro, I actually did land up going with the ktuned bullet shifter with race cables.
What ECU are you using. did you swap to a 02-04 Type S? or Base model? for the Kpro
how long did this take from start to finish?
I like watching videos with no sound........
The national music for motor swaps, everyone uses this.
Yes sir lol
never seen a swap removed like that. was sketched out in a few areas. cool swap though
thanks yo
nice work!
thanks yo

Hey man good job on your swap! I have a couple questions for u...first off what conversion harness did u end up using? Also isn't the z1 drive by wire? I noticed u have a throttle cable, did u somehow get around the electronic throttle?

What did it make on the dyno?
236HP 168TQ
so I may need to swap out the sub frame
no u do not... I only did it for more clearance... with the eg/DC subframes it motor sit back more
+Manny Rican oh ok. cool thaks
+Manny Rican When using the EG/DC subframe do you need the steering rack as well or can you use the stock EK ones?
you must use the CRV air tank
Was the tranny Mount the only one youbhsd to drill?
@chiizt1an actually didn't really had to drill it out...
How much was everything in total i plan on doing this to my civic
just over 10k
+Manny Rican you did everything your self ?
+MeLaaPelas with my cousin
+Manny Rican came out sick bro
+MeLaaPelas thanks bro... doing another setup on a hatch fulling built...
Dude, wear safety glasses next time you're under a car drilling something, especially drilling through metal. Those metal shavings will mess up your eyes real bad. I know, I'm an aviation mechanic of 13 years and have seen it.
Ey you got to get more footage off the car in action . I want to see that car fly more !

Manny Rican bro how low does it sit i wanna do a E.G K20a
Clean swap bro, I wish I could do that but even if I knew how to, k20s go around 10k here so... No haha
