- Designing and Installing a Fire Suppression System
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
Car fires happen. We have all seen the viral videos of cars going up in flames. A lot of the time it's somebody's project car or race car burning on the side of the road. Pushing the performance of a car can be hard on the components. These components can fail, possibly leading to fire. Many people choose to use small fire extinguishers mounted in the driver area. While they are effective, they do have their limitations. They cannot hit more than one area at a time and they require the driver or safety crew to operate them. These limitations are too much for our friend Vic and his K24 swapped AF CR-X.
Vic chose a complete fire suppression system from Lifeline. It uses a liquid clean agent extinguishant that will put out the fire, but not leave residue that could ruin surviving electrical components and interior pieces. We show how to design and install the system.

I love this build, own a gen1 crx and can’t wait for my engine to explode to have an excuse to swap one in.
Just do it! When you get it up and running you will be so much more satisfied. The K24 really transformed the CR-X.
@@VTECAcademyit sure did and you can pull it an sell the EW. Possibly help offset the cost
Great episode! makes me want to install one in the ek 👍
You should! It could save big headaches in the future.
Yes !!!
🎉🎉 Let’s go!
So if the car flips over the fire suppression gas is not going to work at all?
you guys would like the K997 project engine swap.
He is in Toronto supplying the kit too.
997 + K24 = K997
Hell yeah! K swap the world! Also, we love pissing off Porsche people.
I want to k swap my ef sedan so bad! Can't decide on 20 or 24 though...
K20 if you love the high revs, k24 if you want it to pull like a freight train! 😂
Can't go wrong with either. Just think of your end goal and choose accordingly.
Choo choooo!!!!
hello, does anyone know the 8th gen civic r18 supercharger will fit in my 9th gen r18? they should be, is my guess... but how much mod(if any) will need to get this done? has anyone done this? thinking about using kraftwerks... thanks for any info!!!
Have you tried contacting Kraftwerks? They should be able to tell you the difference if any.
thanks for the reply... i did contact them... they no longer carry for 9th gen r18 super chargers... no demand for them... they did give me a contact for this guy in russia... not too keen on sending money overseas...
Can a manual transmission from a k20c2 bolt up to a k24a2?
No, at least not without a custom adaptor plate. I'm curious why you are looking to do that though?
@averyalexander2303 I work in a junkyard and a civil came in with the engine and transmission. But a lot of parts are off the k20c2. I have a k24a2 I've been holding to kswap my del sol. So I was hoping the transmission bolted up. And thank you for answering
@@popcola1462 Makes sense. And I know the struggle of trying to find a K series 6 speed, it took me a couple years. I eventually found an 04 RSX-S 6 speed trans on Facebook Marketplace listed for $1K and after driving over 3 hours to go look at it, I found that the diff was badly rusted where the axles go in. The guy got sketched out and sold it to me for $800 and it fortunately works great. I later opened it to replace the diff with an OEM LSD and swap in taller 5th and 6th gears and somehow nothing else inside was rusty, so I'm not sure what happened to the diff but it worked out alright in the end.
Not just adapter plate but clutch and flywheel too.
