  • Did We Bite Off More Than We Could Chew? EVO Killer 7th Gen Civic Part 2
    By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
    Project EVO Killer is in full swing. So why aren't we out hunting the defunct Mitsubishi AWD? Well, there's a few reasons. First, we need to get a dyno tune to get the best out of our K24 supercharged swap. That can't happen until we sort out the issue with it dying. While we're doing that we need to sort out the electric power steering and install our flex fuel sensor to run E85. After that we will hit the dyno and go for a rip. There's no way our ES1 Civic will fight us, right?

    Definitely bringing me nostalgia , i Had the same exact car (04 es2 ), ended up doing the 05-06 k20z1 rsx engine /dash with complete harness swap that way everything worked perfectly (except abs) everyone called it the 4 door RSX haha

    Hi Brian big fan, I have a rsx with a k24a2+ep3 spec jrsc. My car made 316whp/220tq with a k24z cp+3.6boost pulley on e85. Your hp looks like mine right before VTEC kicks in. There's definitely something going on with your VTEC not working properly. Also for the jrsc you can modify a stock tensioner to work so you don't have to run the crappy jrsc manual tensioner. Feel free check out my videos and message me if you have any questions.

    Hi brian i have a 2017 acura tlx with the k24w7 2.4 i want i little more horsepower do you think this engine is able to hold 8 psi from a procharger and not blow up, i dont ever see people throwing boost at this engines

    • @VTECAcademy
      @VTECAcademy  6 днів тому +2

      If it were a A or Z K24 I’d say no problem. I don’t have any experience e with the W motors. Their big drawback is direct injection. I’m not sure if the fuel demands can be met with that system.

    I’m doing a k24 swap on my civic hybrid, and was considering putting an ep3 or possibly 04-05 RSX type s. Since the later type s models use a CSS would I be able to avoid vss conversion

    How is it that you're using an AUTOMATIC ecu? I thought only PRB, PND, PNF ecu's were companiable with kpro. I've been wrong this whole time?

    • @callmetree19
      @callmetree19 8 днів тому +1

      I used a auto ecu with my Kpro it’s just like the other ecu that kpro is compatible with. But i don’t have a reverse lock out

    • @CDDYoakashi

      Actually he explained this when they got the ECU from the junkyard in a different video, it's because it's kind of a unicorn ECU -- The automatic 2005 Accord ECU that came with the K24 he said it's the only auto compatible with Kpro
