First off, massive thanks for the subscribers and views on this video! I was not expecting it to blow up the way it did, so super pumped. Secondly, I hear everyone on the music selection. I'll change it up in the next episode to make it a more chill vibe. Thanks again for the support!
Bro this is amazing!!! Just binged the entire build!! Totally inspired me. Building a 911 swap currently and I’m sold on the K24 build thanks to you. LOVE the detail in all your processes!!! Keep it up and can’t wait til your filling down the road. No need for overpriced air cooled Porsche engine. That things gonna rip!!!
I love the thought of having a 911 no matter what it takes no matter if it's powered by a Honda or an LS , either way is better than OEM if you ask me . And the determination and drive are intoxicating.
This is exactly it! It’ll be better than OEM for all intents and purposes. I hope to provide a base as well for others who want to go down this journey.
Congrats. I have a 69' 912 thats I've been tinkering with for the past 10 years. Really want to do an EJ swap, just waiting for the right time to do it. Also have 3 year old, so good on you for being able to balance a build and that.
An EJ swap would be a ton of fun in a 912! Balance is a strong word, but it’s ultimately all for him to have as many smiles as possible and remember his dad wrenching in the garage with him!
I think money should be a big point of contention and importance in this build , it matters in the real world what things cost and I bet the Honda is cheaper .
Je découvre votre projet avec cette vidéo. J'adore ! Félicitation sur les choix des éléments et la qualité de l'assemblage. Les moteurs japonais ont beaucoup de potentiels, c'est un excellent choix. Je vais regarder vos autres vidéos et m'abonner bien sûr !
This is awesome man, keep it up! So exciting to hear it fire over. There is nothing quite like spending countless hours knuckles deep, not knowing if you've got it all right and then turning the key and hearing something happen. Awesome build.
Thanks, I really appreciate those words! It’s been a bit of a trek to get here and a lot of uncertainty but now we move quickly to get the last system done for the engine.
Such a big milestone! I’m hopeful that the rest comes together quickly, but I know I have a bunch of money to save first and then we get to tick the next system off of the list!
I will definitely do something, maybe get the cradles available for purchase but I’m not sure I’ll do a full kit. I have been considering doing a full build breakdown and list so that people can do something similar but also providing options to keep the costs down
@@hikari_rennwerke That would be great! As much as I love the whole air-cooled 911 package and mystique it’s the driving dynamics that intrigue me the most. If I could have an ugly mid-year 911 with a powerful, light and reliable engine that doesn’t cost my yearly income to maintain(!) - I’d be in heaven! Keep up the good work!
Definitely feel you there! I am very curious as to how this is going to handle with a lighter engine in the rear. It might be more balanced as a mid-engine vs a rear engine setup. And you're right, an engine that doesn't cost a yearly income to maintain (or rebuild) is the goal here. Something like this should exist for the Porsche platform. Although I don't agree with the ugly mid-year description, I absolutely adore the G body styling aha
@@hikari_rennwerke Oh darn, I didn’t mean mid-year 911s are ugly - I meant I’ll probably only be able to afford one that’s kinda tired looking and patina’d (“ugly”)! I love the looks of ALL air-cooled 911/12s and have long maintained that Porsche did a better design job integrating the 5mph bumpers into their cars than pretty much any other manufacturer.
Cool build! One question I have is why you opted for an external map sensor given that the Nexus VCU had one built in. Can you shed some light on that for me? Thnx
This is the first time I watch your videos and I have to say that is promising. Cool content. As an automotive engineer, I do have some questions. Is the engine supposed to be tilted to the left like that? (Not an expert on k24) it could cause issues in oil pickup and distribution, especially in cornering. How do you intend to cool the engine? You talk about a cooling pack but I have the feeling that, being in the back, you might want to fabricate some ducts to guide air into your coolers. Heatsoak will be a limiting factor for power if you don't go with a cold air intake. The enginebay will get toasty unless you force some air into it. Cool vid, you gained another sub
The engine is supposed to lean like this. The oil pick up is designed to work with this lean, hence not changing it in my application. A lot of people who move this to longitudinally mounted tend to have it straight up and down and with a type S oil pump, it will more than likely starve itself for oil. All the radiators will be up the front of the engine, and there should be enough airflow (given lack of engine tin) for the engine in the back. The intake setup will need to slot behind a rear wheel, I am yet to do that as I want to get the exhaust and water system sorted first. Thanks for the sub, really appreciate it!
I'd recommend not mounting the swirl pot to the intake. The intake is pretty heavy with the mass further away from the engine compared to the OEM manifold. I've heard of people breaking 10.9 bolts with this intake on engines running the type S oil pump, adding even more mass further out would not be good. The K24 vibrates a lot and you risk cracking the swirl pot, I'd mount it off the chassis instead. I got my K swap 260z running recently and have been putting miles on sorting issues. I didn't use a swirl pot and bled the system with an airlift vac bleeder, it worked great. I did buy a tiny overflow tank to plumb in to act kinda like a swirl pot, but it hasn't been necessary yet...
This is good to note! I didn’t swap to the type S oil pump solely for the fact I want to limit vibrations as much as possible. Regardless, I don’t want to crack anything that pertains to the cooling system! I might have to look into the vac bleeder and figure out where to mount the fill spot a little better. I have a few other ideas that I was toying with so thanks for the input, truly appreciate other people sharing how they solved similar problems!
@@hikari_rennwerke Sticking with the balance shaft pump is a good idea IMO, especially if you're going to run a turbo. These motors make so much power and the balance shaft pumps can apparently be run up to ~8300 before cavitation. With a safe redline of 7800 it'll still make 400+whp at
We have plans! I'm going to position the catch can outside of the engine bay, utilizing the original pass through for the oil tank. Then it's just two dash -8 AN lines off the water block off plate and valve cover and we're done.
@@hikari_rennwerke try Bull boost performance or 1320 But u do have to modify it just a tiny bit and best converted to a v band instead of t3 so u have flexibility
@@Prestobuilt appreciate it! Will check them out and see what we can get going, given this isn’t going to be the turbo setup for a minute I think just getting something basic to at least have the O2 sensor installed is going to get me a lot further
What a gross swap. Not even necessarily a Porsche purist, but come on... a k series in a 911? Making one of the best sounding cars on the road the worst sounding car on the road.

Amazing progress mate, won't be long before you're out cruising the canyons!!
That’s the plan! Can’t wait to get out there and drive!
Somehow this popped up on my feed. I’m subscribed!!
I appreciate the sub a lot! 🙏🏻
Great project and vidéo ! I love my 3.2l but totaly dig your K24 swap, looking forward to see more, suscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Hopefully a new video soon!
I am surprised that it fits and lines up so nicely ,
It fits a lot better than most would think!
This is huge man I'm so pumped to see this build come together
Such a big milestone! I’m hopeful that the rest comes together quickly, but I know I have a bunch of money to save first and then we get to tick the next system off of the list!
Great video brotha! With the room you have there. I can 💯 percent confirm the ramhorn WILL fit! Get it!!
That’s great news! But we may have a slight change of plan 😅
Please lose the music. Otherwise, great coverage.
Noted! 🫡
@@hikari_rennwerkedon’t lose the music bro. Use something less aggressive though.
@@hikari_rennwerkethe music is actually pretty dope. Leave it🤷🏻♂️
Not sure if you noticed but the oring on the throttle body popped out when you were tightening it up (9.03)
Thanks for that! I did ultimately take it back off and loctite everything and made sure that the o-ring was fine when reinstalling 🙌🏻
Great job man. Its really nice to see the progress.
Thanks! Progressing nicely, now to get the rest done!
Wow - a K24 powered mid-year 911..how perfect is that! Are you going to try to put together a kit?
Good luck with the cooling system!

Sick work Sir ❤ I love your meticulous craftsmanship. Building is fun 😎
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice work buddy 👌
Thank you! Hopefully some more progress soon! 🙌🏻
Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.Buen trabajo el que estás haciendo y muy organizado y limpio 👍
Gracias mi amigo! 👍🏻
Heck yeah, dude!!🤘🤘
Thank you! Lots of fun stuff ahead to accomplish, but we're getting very close to ripping on this thing for the first time!
Hell yea man, sick build, nice video. Subbed
Great work brotha!!
Love the car! Like the rythme drum n bass👍
Thanks 🔥
Considering power weight and ground clearance might make it better than stock.
It will definitely be better than it came from the factory, not even a question!
Cool build! One question I have is why you opted for an external map sensor given that the Nexus VCU had one built in. Can you shed some light on that for me?
Thnx
Excellent question! My tuner said to run the external sensor so that’s what I did, he knows more than me and I trust his judgement
Come on get them likes 👍 up
Let’s see if we can get to 1k likes! I am shocked at how many people are liking, so thank you 🙏🏻
where did you get adapter and clutch ?
It’s a standard clutch, the adapter and flywheel are from Kennedy Engineering

@@TheBiscuitsandGravy That's exactly it!
Reliable power and being able to redline around 8k rpm, it'll be the gearbox that goes before the engine!
Great stuff! maybe use a little bit more chill music next Time..
Thanks! Will do, at least a little bit more chill
MEGAAAAAAA
hell yeah

I would have watched this right to the end if not for the music.
Noted a lot of people don't like the music selection, will change it up in the next video!
Your air breather situation is giving me anxiety, what are you going to do ?
