around the price of buying a si but at least you have all the parts on it you want man. youve done what all us r18 brothers thought of
literally just search a forum and click the first one turned out to be yours! Can’t wait to see more content, i got an lx myself so thank you for the forum!!
Awesome! Let me know me if you have any questions. feel free to contact me through Instagram @mylittle9thgencivic as well and send me a direct message.👍🏼 it was a fun project.
This is awesome and thanks for sharing this! It was a good find as I was considering an EX purchase to swap. Si prices are too rich for my blood but I also never had intentions of leaving it stock so why throw the money away. Between full aftermarket suspension upgrades (coils, camber arms, tie rods, big brake kits, etc) and an FBO engine swap + transmission, I didn't see the point of even buying a running car whether it be EX or Si. If I manage to find a stripped down shell on a dollie, it will be a dream come true.
This is impressive and well done
Thank you! I appreciate that!👍🏼
Jose with the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
@@joseautomotivemedia bro you got that motor and transmission for dirt!! That's pre lockdown prices for sure 🍻🍻🍻
@@FR11 tye motor was from a friend and the transmission i got cheap just needed a few things. Was about a 3hr drive to pick it up but i wasn’t complaining! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Let this be a lesson to any one looking to do this take notes! Do your research 5 times over. Id like to k no more about why timing chain and trans had to be redone after they were installed my self (bad trans didnt know?) If the mt was bad b4 that sucks dropped 600 on a bad mt :(. Yall did it tho good job 11k is pretty steep but the knowledge is pricless😊
Before installing the engine and tranny i had a mechanic friend who checked the tranny and timing and said everything was good. After installing the engine i find out the motor was out of timing and 2nd gear shift fork was broken. Thats why i had to do repairs after it was installed. Yeah unfortunately it was $11k i’ll say $1k-$2k was just replacing new parks that were broken or damaged when they arrive, another $1k-2k was other things in the car that i just decided to upgrade but still a lot higher than expected.
I have 09 si my K20 is in good condition with 200k but I have TSX Type S K24 low mile getting prepare for next year with K20vtc swap and RSX type S oil pump ebay FBO. The last year of raw power Si 🤘🏽Fun cars to drive around City of Miami
Nice! Yes they are really fun cars to drive around.💯
My first car is this 2012 lx and I recently had bought a zl1 Camaro, I’m thinkin of doing this for my 16 year old son.
Thats awesome! Hopefully you can get some footage on the project and keep me posted!
Planning to do this to a 2014 lx once the cvt fails
What about the CVT transmission? Did you dump that or did you find a way to work around it.
The r18 Cvt tranny is not compatible with the k24. I sold it.
@@joseautomotivemedia what transmission did you put in it?
@@onikai7055 i put a 8th gen si tranny. I suggest you get a 9th gen si tranny
yoo bro im from jersey and im ab to start modding my ‘12 honda too
That’s awesome! Where in jersey you from?
11,000 !!!! God damnnnnnn
Where did you buy the engine from I look up use k24 and I see it for 1000 dollars
I bought it from a friend of mine.
It was also cheap because it was a plain motor. No engine harness, no alternator, no coils, no crankshaft pulley, no ac compressor and a lot of other parts also didn’t come with. I went this route because i knew i was going to buy all of those external parts new. Normally if you buy a motor for a $1000 or more it comes basically ready to be dropped in. Some even gives you the ecu as well.
These things are out there and many of them are in used condition so they are PRIME for race and speed
Sheesh for that price yup I would just by an actual si yeah over a 2 year span could’ve made those points on a car too
damnnn 11k
You can make the swap cheaper by not buying all those parts i did new. It will dramatically drop the price but i wanted the majority of everything new! From bolts to sensors etc. i also decided to go full bolts on with also a tune. That price also includes my skunk 2 racing shocks. Not really part of the swap but i did it during the project. Also that includes all the shifter cables i bought like 3 or 4 sets at the end it was definitely way higher than Expected but hey i learned a ton.
🙌🏼👍🏼💪🏼
@@joseautomotivemedia definitely, if anyone have the money go for it I’m sure the prices will go down over time since it’s not that expensive to manual swap a old gen civic
@@exotik4123 you right!
Can i put a 2jz in this car? I have the same car stock
I’m not sure but that will be amazing if you can get that done!
couldve bought a whole 9th gen si for what the swap costed
How's the cnt downpipe sounds..
Sounds good! I have no complaints. No nasty sound or anything like i have heard. Mine is catted that’s probably the reason. Supposedly the ones that are catless makes a specific annoying sound. Mine doesnt. Thank God!
@@joseautomotivemedia what website you got it from
@@jantzen2012 cntracing.com
@@joseautomotivemedia thanks a lot..i might get this downpipe for the price$$ is a good deal
@@jantzen2012 yeah it is. So far so good on my end. When you install the down-pipe make sure you tune it as well.
Or you could’ve just sell the r18 car and get a real 9th gen si. 🤷🏽♂️.
This music was so irritating dude. Like no need for it
