K Swapping My Honda Civic - Episode 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I've decided to K swap my lovely little Honda Civic! The K24 engine is the king of Honda motors and it's swapped into almost everything because it's such a great motor! I'm putting a K24 from a TSX in the EK Hatch to replace it's current B16b. The B series was a great motor setup and I've had a lot of fun with it but it's time to move on to the Mighty K20 / K24! With a TSX K24 and K20 head, i'm shooting for the most amount of power possible out of a naturally aspirated, non built motor! We'll see what happens!
Special thanks to Ktuned for sponsoring this build!

ITS OUR CONTENT AND WE NEED IT NOW.
“That’ll have have to wait til the next episode.”
Me: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Nooooo Monica!!!
The video had me by the balls until that line
Me toooo
Lmao!! That’s literally what I said after he had said that! I go and tap on the screen to see the video is almost over 😫 #hadmebytheballs
Literally said the same thing lol

Facts
Exactly, it's all about WHEN you produce that power along the RPM range to HOW MUCH power...
Both are good but yeah I want power through the power band👍that's what I like about n/a
Exactly size doesnt mean everything
This 💯
Only episode 2, and it's already one of the best series on youtube. Keep them coming, you're doing an amazing job.
Professional cinematography and pro engine builder, what's not to love?
can't wait for the next episode on the 21st
@@DuBstep115 whats not love?
Thaaat would be the corny gay music and the owners arrogant ass
is ronnie fil-am?
Can we please get a full part number list / breakdown for everything required to do the k20 head to k24 block Frankenstein? Thank you!
Hybrid Racing lists one online as well as a full guide as to how to DIY
@@klarkqent link?
Google it LoL you don't wanna see that price list I promise.i hope he got some of that stuff for free.
@@Shoultes k swaps aren't $11k to do anymore. They're around 6-8k depending on the transmission
@@klarkqent do what if you already got a tsx with a k24 then how much you think? 🤷
It’s 1am here in Australia,
100% worth it to see this vid 😍
11pm in Perth
3am Rn in Aus
Bit late but 1pm here in Sydney hahah
I'm in Toowoomba QLD, I'll be doing this to my EK too. I'm thinking a JDM EP3 Type-R k20a straight swap might be easier though, rather than screwing around with frank heads n' block. I dunno...
Waiting for episode two made 2 weeks seem like the longest 2 weeks ever.
I'm glad that Honda's are getting a better reputation on UA-cam. I couldnt go a drive a mile without some one calling my integra a ricer
nice ricer
They’re just kids that know nothing trust me lol
I’m not into racing at all, but absolutely love my stock 2014 civic. I do all my own maintenance and it’s SO easy to work on. Reliable, eco friendly, and comfortable. Honda forever for me 😊
@@leanbeeffatty1 People are just mad that Honda’s and Japanese cars are more reliable and better quality than whatever car they have. My family won’t buy anything that isn’t Japanese. Only Honda, Toyota, and Subaru for us. We have one of each in the garage. A Civic, Legacy, and 4Runner.
i'm in awe of this lad. this man is a legend truly living the dream.
Your production quality always lets me forget this is UA-cam... Cant wait for part 3!
Because he's a spoiled rich kid......
theodore Dow-man Jealous much LOL
plus they dont even hav 1 mil subs yet which is mind blowing
Gears and Gasoline is literally the best editing and video production on UA-cam period. I'm amazed by the effort and attention to detail in each episode.
Watching this years later, it really feels like Andy is an old friend. I've since been watching all of his progress on his projects, he's been in so many of your videos, and has hands in so many amazing projects. Andy, you're a solid dude!
You and Mighty Car Mods are the only two car UA-camrs I sit through with 100% completion rate. Every. Single. Video. Keep up the beautiful production!
2:34 that s2000 looks so happy
I saw this comment at 2:30 and it was awesome to see what you meant right away
happy vtec
I have a K20/K24 Frankenstein engine that I bought with a 06 SI and boy let me tell you! I love my baby! Had an issue with finding the water pump replacement as it’s a JDM so the American pieces weren’t fitting so I brought it to a Acura/Honda guy that builds race cars and he changed the housing to an American Accord and it works perfectly. Everyone who gets behind my car says it’s fun and fast though it’s not as fast as my racing team who have B engines and turbos. Getting a hatch by next summer and have my mechanic build it to 600hp for a night car
I like that you’re breaking this series up into parts. It’s like a little drama series. Good work and I am dreaming again about a Honda build. (:
Love the honesty of the people in the video, the style of video, very honor to be having people like this in this world thank you
This like an episode of DBZ. Whenever it starts to get get good, it ends with, "On the next episode of DBZ"
I love cars, but I don't know much about mechanics, parts, engines or stuff like that. I'll probably never do any of those things they do on this channel... I'm really just an amateur, but man I absolutely love this channel and these mechanics videos, the quality is just off this planet! Unlike a lot of other channels who keeps it really hyped up and almost childish, more vlog style, there's so much professionalism and a peaceful aspect to it. We can actually see how much they work on the car inside and out. Doesn't matter if it's the Civic, Forester, Evo or Miata, I enjoy every seconds of it! The detailing ones and roadtrips are amazing as well... Keep up the great works guys! I wish you tons of subscribers!
The road trip with the EK brought me to your channel, the k-swap kept me here. Great vids, keep them coming!
Andy is a genuinely nice guy. Had my 370 and Wrx gone thru him. He does a dope job
This was my dream years ago.. an EK9 style type R with a K20 motor, epic!
I just finished three days of tearing down and rebuilding the axles on my Landcruiser. Glad to finally sit down and enjoy watching someone else doing the work.

You can't beat the power of a large naturally aspirated engine and its large displacement. The connection between the driver and the throttle is immediate and the harmonics are amazing. Running on its own power.
This some days of thunder shit “ shape her like a bullet”
I own a b18b1 swapped ek and I’m about to K swap mine as well! I’m from Wisconsin so this series is pretty rad! Amazing quality !
Great series and i’m so excited to watch what happens next in this Civic K swap build
This was a great build,seen all episodes
Hey! You're here I'm a fan of both of you amazing
As a 28 year old engineer I only watch UA-cam these days since tv... Well sucks. But this channel and especially this series is so entertaining to watch for me. Thanks and greetings from Germany!
Now that’s a proper Civic build🔥
I like you bring up the concept of "area under the curve." I teach HS math and the students frequently tell me they will never use this information, but I always see them watching youtube videos on cars. I am going to make sure to bring this up as a real-life example of understanding graphs. Your videos are awesome and I always learn something, thank you.
This build is the motivation I need to finish mine 🤙🏼
mr fantastic nope! Chicago.
@@boosted_john Blackmail Caleb and it'll be done so much quicker...
Will Evans Lmaoooo
Don't let the comments/hate mail stop you from doing what you do.. I think it looks awesome. Great work so far and the fact that you got such a clean finish on the rattle can paint job is remarkable! Good JOB!!!
Awesome as always! You guys deserve more subscribers and views!
Yep , one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam 😐
My jaw dropped when I saw Ronnie with the prepped K20Z3 head. I've been patiently working on my build and saving up to finally get to RS motors for a tune from a legendary tuner and owner. Seeing him help your build makes me incredibly jealous! I know you're definitely throwing in $$$ if 2 well-known time attackers are building your motor!
Been waiting for Part 2 of the k-swap! 👏👏👍👍
So Nice to have Friends like that. So nice to see quality of work and dedication to one's craft. Now a days, that is very very difficult to find.
Watching this had me shedding tears of joy
Honestly, the way you present this video, not sacrificing quality over quantity (like tons of episode randomly thrown in), is very unique and fun to watch. Keep it up man, I rarely binge watch on engine swap but definitely don’t mind watching yours 👌
Just gonna slide this piece of advice in here for the unobservant - All this is NOT necessary for you to kswap your car. Unless you are sponsored like most youtubers, going this route your car is gonna be sitting on jackstands for a long time till I buy the shell off you. 99.99% of those Ktuned/carquest parts are not necessary. Good luck with your build.
This series is so much fun to watch, I bought an 04 WRX from Andy back in the day. Great guy and extremely knowledgeable, hell of a driver as well.
Upload sooner! Love the videos, specially the road-trips.
I know I wish they would put out a video every Saturday
@@BorninVirginia the videos thy put out have countless hours of editing put into them it's quality over quantity.
K24 bottom end with a Z3 head is brilliant. The Z3 head is an excellant casting and in my opinion when it comes to K series is absolutely the best head available. Our testing showed it even out fload the k20a2 head by a significant amount of cfm
14:56 assuming that pattern on the rotor is from overheating and showing internal vanes?
Yup, after only one track day on those rotors. Clearly not enough braking power for me.
Gears and Gasoline Time for DBA rotors!
@@GearsandGasoline might as well do a 5 lug conversion and BBK with the upgraded motor! You'll definitely need the extra stopping power :D
Man I'm loving this series. I got drawn to this channel due to the nostalgia of the 90s honda. Ended up getting one again to relive my youth at the tracks in so cal. Keep up the great work!
Not turboing? I can feel Turbo Yoda's immense displeasure from here.
u cannot fit a k series and a turbo in that engine bay
@@kenshien544 You can ALWAYS fit a Turbo! :P Might have to remove other stuff... but a Turbo will always go in! ;) Who needs a hood anyway! :D
Murdoch lolllllll ur right hahahaha
@@kenshien544 who says the turbo has to be in the engine bay
@@alexander1485 yep. Remote mount gives a bit more delay, but still works.
A centrifugal supercharger would probably be more useful on that engine for track use, though.
Very nice attention to detail, I like how you cleaned the entire engine bay and painted it. Also agree with the cams, I've been out of the Honda business for 15 years, but power under the curve is always more useful.
Carquest water pump and alternator, is that what he uses on his racecars?
I don't race my car but from what I've seen carquest are pretty good parts
Super not ideal, but when you're sponsored by them...
I would at least have a oem Honda water pump for reliability
This comment fits in with mine about the owner being arrogant af & fitting cheap parts..
Thank god im not the only who picks up on wannabe vibes
I sell car parts for a living. Many times name brand, even OEM parts are sourced to fill these boxes. So might not be to bad?
5:42 THANK YOU!! I know people who tries to get a same tune for their car by just copying it like you can have 3 k20's but all of them will be running differently, spend the money and get the car tuned to it's specs!
U LITTTTT👌
Great quality! Those LUMIX cameras are doing work!
Early squad... Just started the video and already know I'm gonna love it
i just love how humble this channel is. one of the best!
thought i had left my synthwave music running in the background for a bit
Seriously who gives this a thumbs down? WTH?!? Someone invested so much time to make this video and it’s so well done and they come as overlords and give a thumbs down
Whats a swap like that cost ?
...." More than you can afford Pal "
So damn much,not to mention all the money he spent with the 1st build.i love it.that little hatch has seen six figures come and go.
@@Shoultes yeah the Type R replica must have cost quite a lot to build. Ben however bought it for 5000$, which is an okayish price i would say.
@@SpiderMax95 $5000 for what?
@@Shoultes didnt he buy it as part for the 5000$ challenge? when the other ben bought a supercharged miata
@@SpiderMax95 oh idk I think maybe I got this dude confused with another guy who built a EK hatch and did a type R clone job on it.
I absolutely love the direction this channel is heading., and appreciate all the work and attention to detail that does into these series! Full speed ahead Gears and Gas!
What part number on Amazon were those bolts, need to know! Thanks!
Following for the same reason
F
Just search the thread pitch. But those bolts have a serrated flange on the head. They dig in and chew up the surface
I like ASM garage a looot: clean, light and full of handy tools. And owner attitude is so positive. Looks like dream job. Thank you for your content. Went through k24 swap of EG year ago, and your video is so refreshing for me :)
how did you order your new bolts? did you organize and measure all of them and then ordered one by one, or is there a kit specific for the car?
Yes
Not a honda guy but these videos are great production and enjoyful to watch for any gear head. Great job!
I need a link to those bolts you bought from Amazon. Also, hope to see you at HDay next month.
Just LOOK GOD it's not hard.....
Well filmed! Great editing. Wonderful pacing.
Where's the link to the SS hardware? :)
i absolutely love the film quality of the channel, i hate having to wait for a new episode, but i know that the wait is worth it.
Wait! K swapping an s2000? Why? 😂. Anyways nice going with the swap there. I can’t even imagine the price tag of all the parts and work.
Hartbreak1 I was also so confused when i heard him say that. The F20 and F22 are just as good if not better
Much cheaper
PremierPerformance but if it was all about price then, wouldn’t an LS1 swap be a better and cheaper alternative? Plus you wouldn’t need any RWD conversion kits.
K series engines can make a bit more torque. Peak power is similar. K engines are a fraction of the price with a lot more support as they were offered in MANY other cars. We didn’t just swap K’s into S2000’s for fun. We did our homework.
andysmede that makes sense. I’ve seen some crazy S2000 engine builds so I was wondering what reason other than price was really at play there. If you can get better power out of a K with the same parts for cheaper then that really makes it the better option.
the radiator in 1992-2000 Honda Civics (EG and EK chassis) was actually positioned on the passenger side, directly in front of the transmission. This placement allowed the radiator fan to not only cool the engine but also help dissipate heat from the manual transmission, which lacked a dedicated oil cooler.
Since manual transmissions in these Civics were air-cooled through their aluminum casing, the airflow from the radiator fan provided some additional cooling, especially during prolonged or high-performance driving. This design helped with overall thermal management, even though it wasn't an intentional transmission cooling system.
When swapping a K-series engine into a 1992-2000 Honda Civic (EG/EK/EM chassis), the transmission moves to the driver's side instead of the passenger side, as it was with the original D-series or B-series engines. This means that if you want to maintain the same passive cooling benefit for the manual transmission, you should relocate the radiator to the driver's side of the engine bay.
By doing this:
The radiator fan can provide airflow over the K-series transmission, helping to dissipate heat.
It mimics the original layout where the radiator fan indirectly cooled the manual transmission.
It optimizes cooling for high-performance or endurance driving, where transmission temperatures can rise significantly.
I feel guilty for watching this for free...
Epic build
Loving all those shiney new parts going into the motor.
Superbly excited for the next episode.
Such a well put together documentary! Love the K series swap! Keep it coming
Dream build for most of us Honda guys. In the road trip videos I remember him saying he don't know if he will keep the car. I think that decision has been made now.
Really can't wait for the next episode. Your production quality is so good. Keep up the awesome content Gears & Gasoline
Who need motortrend shows when you have channels like this one, great job!!
Very very good video, man ^^
I really liked how both of you explained the same thing but at a different pace, with different shots.
The Classical-style music and the engine freshly opened gave me goosebumps hahaha
I'm loving the camera angles you've captured creating this video. Good work brother!
Can't wait for the next episode. Everything is being done clean and neat can't wait to hear it started
Video quality, editing, the project itself...Everything about this series is top notch. 👍👍👏
My boy has a K20 swapped CRX si🔥 pulls like crazy! I can only imagine how much more nasty your pulls will be with the K24 with your light chassis 🔥🔥
Very nice, keep us updated can't wait for the next episode.
Awww! miss my k-swapped EK so much!
I had a simple jdm k20 with 6 speed transmission. Awesome engine!
I used to want to do something to my 2006 Accord. For now, I'll just appreciate it's reliability until it dies. Then, I'll look into something a bit more fun. Glad I didn't waste money trying to do something half-assed. This build is proper!
Wow I remember watching a video of Andy setting a record in his Evo back when it had green wheels. I love that car!
The fact that you aren't going turbo makes me so happy seriously... Getting sick of "TURBO EvErYtHiNg!!!" mentality
Fr
the boxes of parts everywhere oh man this is what dreams are made of ha great build and content
Awesome progress! Brings back very fond memories of when I kswaped my "EK"
Huge props to Andy! I don’t know how he does it. I love working on cars and it’s definitely my passion and i wish i can open up my own garage too. But my body just can’t handle it anymore. And I’m only 27. Lol.
Ayy my day is made! The best start to my Saturday as usual
Great video! Share the cost!!!!!! Engine swap is the hot ticket right now and putting it into perspective for everyone on the cost would be awesome and appreciated!!!
My favorite build of all time!! Exciting stuff man.
Another thing about the more aggressive cams is they’re harder on timing chain and tensioner. You made a good choice going with the less aggressive cams. We lost lots of engines running the big cam from timing chain/tensioner failures.
Every week I always look forward to G and G. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
This channel deserve millions of subscribers. Always waiting for the next upload from you guys. Keep 'em coming!👍
7:40 Such a cool shot.
Great music selections as well.
I'm really impressed how much your channel have grown. I've subscribed to you, when you were under 50k subscribers. Now, you have over 600k, and it's well deserved. Keep on the good work!
Man, wrenching in that engine looks like so much fun!
Good day ser...i really like watching ur video ser.i am A filipino,living here in japan.i really like Honda cars,i miss fixing a honda engine’s,im proud to be a part of honda car Philippines since 1996-97...
Since this series came out back in 2020, Ive watched it at least twice a year.
Love these builds, it's just so relaxing. Building an engine is just relaxing
So Hyped for this Civic😁👌🏻😎
this guy gets it. the personal satisfaction and the money.
The best UA-cam car channel out there hands down
