You guys are doing the lord's work. I can't wait to see the K20C1 in all sorts of cars, hoping to see the EF/ED/EE chassis with one. I bet anything it's way too tall though, I know the standard K20 is too tall for them.
Thank you now i don't feel like a nutshell I'm 41 y,o. Still love honda right now i have a k24 fg2 N/A. And love it but looking forward to do a k20c1 swap soon.
I wonder the clearance of the Crx del sol 🤔🤔🤔 just think about it the lightest Honda modern era chassis ever married to the most powerful honda engine, adding couple bolts on and a tune that engine can get 450whp, it's such a beast 🔥🔥🔥
I have a 2021 civic type R and love this engine would love to install it on my 2004 ep3 that would b amazing hopefully u can make a video on the ep3 n the k20c1
Great stuff I'm working on my 2001 civic project. And nice to know that motor could fit in the es2/em2 chassis 👍 always learning something new when I watch these videos. You guys are always doing something new and different 👌☝️👏
You are a great teachers for the rest of us. I would like to know if the computer of a civic 2006 is compatible with this motor and what other kinds of problems may i encounter when i make the swapping.
8th Generation 2006-2011 Honda Civic Coupe: Can you do a video on the subject of buying a new block, rods, head, etc. Vs. going the JDM used engine swap? The JDM's need some alterations due to the Japan salvage from Honda vehicles. Also, we never know the true mileage of those engines. I think this is a much needed video. Thank you.
Very cool! It's always nice to see more swap options available in our community. I wonder if any of the older K series transmissions will bolt to these engines? From the pictures I found online it looks like it might, but I also remember reading that 2015 was the last year for the traditional bell housing bolt pattern with the K24Z7.
Em2 k swap pleaseeeee this is my list so far im 05 civic kswap parts list! *Parts already have -k20z1 engine -k20a2 tranny -alternator -k20a2 wiring harness -ac compressor -starter -intermediate shaft -06 rsx type s axles - 06 rsx type s subframe -5lug conversion -06 rsx type s shifter box and cables
You mention using an automatic in a K-swap. I've only found one instance of this(at least with the 7th gen civic). Do you have any more sources of knowledge on doing automatic k swaps?
Wondering when we can see some tunable ecu for it. Or would it be possible to just swap all the electronics and modules from a 10 gen into older chassis. Pretty much revamp the whole car to today's tech
Looking forward to swap kits for this... adapter plate, mounts, wire harness, ecu! Curious how this swap will play out with the direct injection fueling tho & ecu...
Hi guys great work as always big fan off your work here in UK was just going to ask I have a mk3 mr2 with k20a2 in it and was wondering if this motor will fit in there. Thanks
Hello, Love the videos you guys do. I have a question for you. I have a civic 10th gen with a CVT transmission and I was wondering if this engine would work with that kind of transmission. Thanks for your time
lardogaming dude same i was like this is a great alternative to having a stock turbo rsx from factory lol. That would be so cool if it fits perfect i think he should get a dc5 chassis and test fit it
That is great info to hear & see, wondering about price of that engine to swap in 8th Gen R18 model ? and what best swap for that model...you sir (Honda God father)
Waleed Mahmoud it won’t be cheap as the engine and transmission are highly desirable. You can get more power for less with a K24 swap and a turbo, but it won’t get all the cool point for being rare like a K20C1.
@@VTECAcademy i see ctr engine and transmission going for a decent price. Will it fit in a rsx? But im more interested in how can we get the anti torque steer from the ctr into other Hondas. Also who makes a adaptor plate so we can use the ctr transmission on k20a
after the swap is there another thing to think about like the exhaust? I mean the original K series is build differently so do I have to change the catback or it will fit bolt on?
@VTEC Academy Any guidance on 10th gen civic swap with K20C1? So perhaps someone could pick a "lesser" 10th gen civic up at auction for instance and get a K20C1 to build a "poor man's Type R"?
I have a question. I have a R18 2012 Honda Civic sedan lx 1.8 motor. I was wondering if a 2012 Honda si motor 2.4L would fit in the R18? Been lookin for answers can’t find any anywhere
Yes it fits size wise. I'm not sure if you can do a straight swap though. Some of the mount holes for the engine mounts may be in different locations and the subframe mount may be different too.
I would want to get a kit to fit into an EP2 (same parts as in EU), own an EU8 myself with D16V1. Will there be kits for that kind of swap aswell? Planning to own the car for some time, thinking with the idea of K20C1 in it.. It would have the same issue with the relay box... wonder how I could get the driveshafts and suspension + brakes from the new one to fit.. Not to mention the ECU. Would love the idea of old meets new.
I wish he was my dad
He is....he helps everyone..
This is such a nice comment 😌😊
He looks like my HS auto shop teacher Mr. Rodgers, Waterloo Ia

Thank you for taking the time to do this dad!
Our pleasure! LOL
Can't wait to see the EF fitment !

Now I wanna engine swap my 8th Gen LX Sedan...
Yo bout to embark on the adventure 😂 wish me luck

Also any possibilities of testing fitting an S2k? You know.. for science.

Thanks for not forgetting us ep3 owners. I was getting a little worried until the end.

I love how you guys even included the 7th gen blacksheep civic into this one
Don’t forget about us Tsx guys not many people include it in the Honda talk .

Can't wait for CRZ fitment!!!
Wish there was a swap kit for the RSX
If the car is automatic, will a manual conversion be difficult?
I have an FA5. I’m looking forward to trying this in my car
I’d like to see a TSX with this swap. Personally have an RSX with K24a2 but plan to sell it in Spring.
Wanting a sedan now with a swap.
I'm noticing better video image quality and editing - it's not necessary, but appreciated!
I really want to see this in a 1ST GEN TSX.
I had a feeling this swap was gonna be meant for the newer civics. Cant wait to see them become the norm!
You are a great teachers for the rest of us. I would like to know if the computer of a civic 2006 is compatible with this motor and what other kinds of problems may i encounter when i make the swapping.
Nice r&d Brian ..Like a true boss
Thanks guys!
The god father at work
Your just an awesome guy. Wish I have your knowledge keep up the good work.
Patiently waiting for a mount
You should make mounts for a K20 swap into a 2015+ GK5 Honda Fit! Please🤗
K20C1 and the L15B7 for that chassis.
Interesting, good to know this engine will fit my FA5.
Thing that nice swap fit possible...
You sir are a boss!!!
Awsome i know what ill be doing to my 9th :)
Wish they try the hood as the other video.
Wheres the video of when you went to Whitfields? Love to see what projects were going on over there.
A+ like always, Keep up the good work..
I hope you respond to this ! I have a 7th gen es1 I got a k20c1 i believe, what subframe will I need for the swap? Would a ep3 si sub frame work?
new FL s can probably take a K24 then, wonder if you could use stock mounts

Subscribed. Hope to one day do this to my ep2
I wonder if the fk2 front end would fit into a 9th gen fb6?
Did the K20c1 ever get swapped into any of those models? I would have really liked to have seen it in the 8th gen model civic.
Werks Guy not yet. The engine used here was from Brian’s daily driver. An 8th gen would be killer!
@@VTECAcademy Damn and yes an 8th gen would be killer! I hope he drops it in the 8th gen. he would be the first person in the world to do it I bet.
l15b7 swap into 7th gen civic please
Love this channel I wanna see a test fit of it in a rsx i doubt I will ever afford that swap but I wanna see if I can brag about it being doable 😂
lardogaming dude same i was like this is a great alternative to having a stock turbo rsx from factory lol. That would be so cool if it fits perfect i think he should get a dc5 chassis and test fit it
We put it in a 2001 Civic and it is basically the same chassis. The RSX has slightly more room in front. It fits.
Y’all should put this in a 10th gen si
I'd really want to swap that into my cr2 6mt Accord sport..
love you guys!!

are the mounts available for purchase?
for the 9th gen?

Love your video's, quick question does the K20C1 fit into the 2004 euro r Accord? Is there a mount kit for this also?
It will fit with some slight modification to the engine bay. We haven’t made mounts
yet for that chassis.
Great videos tutorial mr. Gillespie. How is the subframe going to fit with the em2 chassis
It fits pretty good with the J-series engine, so I suspect it will be fine with the K.
What about the older Honda accord
A k20c ep3 thats sounds cool as fk
I hope you guys do a 04 civic
We did. That was the 01 Civic with the 05 bodywork. It starts at 6:50.
after the swap is there another thing to think about like the exhaust?
I mean the original K series is build differently so do I have to change the catback or it will fit bolt on?
This might be a stupid question but would a k20 swapped 8thgen civic still be able to pass smog
Yes it should.

It bolts right in with stock Type R engine mounts. The wiring would be another issue. I'd suggest using the Accord K20C.
