i’ve been getting into j series over the last year. very happy to be seeing j series content as well as plenty of p2r inclusions.
♥️
J is the way all day. Sean at P2R is a great guy, helping the J live to its potential.
♥️
Yeah, he is!
Thank you for your knowledge!
Brian at Hasport is by far my favorite entrepreneur and personality. He does a great job at being humble and available to the community defying the norm I witness in niche professionals.
I run hasport mounts in all my cars and you should too. Thanks VTEC Academy.
Thank you!
Finally some Jseries recognition! Very excited for this series!
I'm already 🤤 over your TL upgrades.
I dream daily of a Comptec Supercharger for my 08 TL.
I'm so excited about this Brian.
I did my first J swap In 2012 on my 98 EK. Back when the jswap forums were the only thing to get info for the swap on. I loved this swap so much and had a blast doing it. Glad to see the swaps are getting more common.
Can you do an auto j swap?
Love the video and glad to be able to help on these awesome projects.
OG!!!
I can't thank you enough Shawn!
If I can fit one into my rsx, I’ll definitely be hitting you up for parts!
Ahh, the saga of Honda engine swaps. B series, H series, K series, and now...the J series!
I'm super stoked for this.
I would love to see a brake down on everything, and why it's being installed.
So many things to look forward to!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
You get a j series
You get a j series
You get a j series
Everybody get a j series
Ahahaha!
Ryan strope that’s the man! one of the best master techs I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! You guys are in good hands !
I’m running a rotrex supercharger on my TL Type S currently making 433 whp 363 tq on e85. I absolutely love it especially for daily driving. Looking forward to see more J series content.
how's your gas mileage?
@@impartial6119 13 City 16 highway less if I’m speeding.
I just grabbed 08 Accord cupe transmission and ecu last weekend from the yard 160 thousand miles I wish I live close to you guys I live in virginia
Score!!
Would love to finally see a j35 Awd in a first Jen Crv Rd1 and then actually be able to buy everything to bolt one into mine
Kind of miss my J-Swap I had in my EK. It ran great and would hate folks feelings on the streets. BUT IT WAS PROBLEMATIC. It was in the shop more than on the road. I love my K-swap with the mercracing suppercharger.
Now i feel like home! J series baby!!
I’ve got an 04 Accord Coupe. I swapped the TL 3.2L motor and manual LSD transmission. J series are pretty cool.
It's been 2 weeks... I'm chomping at the bit over here for J series content :)
J35a3 with 02 tl type s cams is on my build list!
I was one of the ones begging for J series content!!! Please J swap an NSX. It's been done before, with dramatic results! That chassis will live forever. But they are gonna run out of engines.
Did you miss our NSXPO video? We drive a J swapped NSX in it! ua-cam.com/video/jNWQYIGe01M/v-deo.html
I keep repeating it to the world. MAKE J SEAPS GREAT AGAIN!!! Good shit guys.i love this j series content. It's better than all this K stuff going around
SUPER CHARGE EVERYTHING
Love the idea. Hope to see these come to fruition.
Us too! Brian's "other job" keeps getting in the way. LOL
Ready for this to be the new jseries channel!!!!!!!! 😮
This man is a legend !
Lord of the J can’t wait to see them all
Keep doing a good work I been follow the 8th gen J series
Freaking awesome man!! I just swapped out my eg hatch for a J32a3 motor with 6spd and man I couldn’t be happier the torque and speed is an adrenaline rush for sure!!!
The J is a torque monster in a Civic.
In LOOKING 👀 forward to 2023 calling it Big block 23!!! 🙌 😂
well all in with those swap . have some answers for those swaps .
Awesome!
How about a built head plus super charger to the ridgeline? Ridgeline lives matters 🤣
Only thing missing for these swaps is a dsg gearbox. I offer this for J series and other engines .
This is kind of interesting, especially considering that Honda people generally panned the whole idea of V6 swaps not so long ago. On the other hand, J series engines are powerful, torquey, cheap, common, and virtually indestructible. What’s not to like?
Looking forward to some j series content. Liked, subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
I stayed away from the J-Series for years because I was told they weren't as reliable as a K-Series. I now have an '05 Accord J30 and an '07 MDX J37 both with over 300k miles and they are by far the most reliable Hondas I've owned so far.
There seems to be this longstanding myth that V6s are unreliable compared to fours. But the reality is that these engines go the extra mile. My 2006 Accord 6-6 sedan has 370000 miles, and still runs like new! And when you really think about it, why would a long stroke, short rod motor last longer?
Do the swap in the prelude man! I have a j swapped prelude myself with an LSD TL transmission, and it's utterly fantastic. It'd be super cool to see hasport make a mount set for this application, the only ones that exist are from innovative and they kinda suck 😅. I can provide some info regarding stock hood clearance as well!
Can’t wait for all the j series content
Cant wait to see the outcome
nice to see J series content
Nice of you to watch! Thanks!
Good stuff Brian!
We need more j series content!!
YES!!!! Give me all the J's!!!!!!!! How about a Rotrex Supercharger to compare with the Comptech one🤔
🤔
@VTEC Academy supercharger vs supercharger with no AC tho😅 @gerzand
Finally some J series love!
We missed Valentine's Day by one day too.
Ny favorite new channel ❤
Super cool
Thanks for watching! They should be fun projects.
Great work
My vote is for the prelude to get the j35. Would really like to see that.
Hey I'm in the process of putting a J35 into my 1st gen crv. Will be nice to see what you do with yours!.
Brian I would love to you see build a 1st gen Ridgeline with a J37 with a 6speed and just to make it more spicy had some boost via supercharger or turbo!
Fork! Yes!
Really excited for the 8th gen civic j swap I’ve been wanting to do one myself
You and us both!
We have multiple J35z3 engines here, as well as two of the z3 6spd trans.
That is the engine I am looking for. I need to put one in Aaron's 2007 Si.
I have a buddy that has the j32a2 type s with the comp tech it pulls
FINALLY, THE J SERIES IS GOING IN THE EM2 CHASIS! I WILL BE THE FIRST TO BUY THE MOUNT KIT. I HAVE A J32A3 WITH 6 SPEED LSD TRANS IVE BEEN WAITING ON.
Hell yeah! That will be a fun setup. Definitely catch people sleeping.
If they’ll also work for a dc5/ep3, count me in!!
Why don't you use halferland performance part you'll get more power out of them.
Dude! I have the same color ridgeline! Mine is a 06 leather, now with cloth conversion
sweet content on the way.
i actually just listed my j32a3 TL 6 speed trans on ebay with some other goodies. and a j37 intake with big TB
wish i could follow along and enjoy with you, but im un-diversifying so i can focus on my ep3's and k20/k24's
Hope to see much more j series I have a j30a1 I plan to turbo and possibly add nos too and deffinitly need as much info as possible 😀
I blew up a J on nitrous once. That's another story though.
Im in for more j series content. Id like to see a comparison of j vs k motor and transmission weights. Lots of guys are out there saying a j weighs more than a ls and will ruin handling. I dont believe it. Im putting a j30a5 in my 98 civic hatchback, and ive been documenting the build on my channel. Keep up the good work. Its nice to get real information from your videos and not just people bolting stuff together.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, the effect the weight of the J on our CRX wasn't bad at all and it is a track/time attack car. It's not like an Audi or something where the weight is mostly in front of the front axles.
Love the J Series content.
It's an underrated option.
Following. I want to put a j37 in my 06 tsx.
Currently developing a J-Swap for the RX-8, next will be the NC Miata. Would love to see a RWD J-Swap on the channel.
And for the Miata OZ engineering and MiniTec both have kits
I've had my jswap teggy i built 10 years ago its got a j32a2 with lsd i drive it all the time its my baby. i would like to do a stroker with boost
While i appreciate the work involved, Never been a Jswap fan. However the 6 speed CL with a Comptech SC was a blast to drive
Do DNJ sell good parts? I bought rings for my 2001 Cadillac Deville and it smoke pretty bad.
Any chance you could cover a j swap in a Cd5 accord? Ive got a really good deal on a j32 6spd and j35 spare to go with it.
J is the way 😎🤙
Hell yeah!
YESSSS. Love the J!
P2R is an icon in the J series realm
1,000 percent!
♥️
Do they make mounts for this to put into a 8th gen civic?? Would a J series motor mount to a civic auto tranny?
Can I please get more information on the 1st gen crv with j series with automatic
Are you looking to adopt a son? I am available! Hahaha I have done a lot of work to my 07 accord J30A5. Just completed a valve adjustment and cleaning. Plus all new gaskets etc. Did some painting of the intake etc. would love to swap a J37 with a manual but that sounds like a hell of a project. Also am drooling over that Comptech. I bet they are high dollar when you do find them.
Mounts being made for 8th gen with J series? I saw the vid but the product isn't on the website.
Can you make a rsx j37 swap to go to the 8 second I'm here to help!!
…..prelude j swap plzzzzz…… I have a 4th gen lude and 2000 accord v6 love both so much. Just got a civic si last weekend as eell
That low hoodline may be the issue.
I'm excited for the Cr-v project but less so for the automatic....just my preference. I like to rack my own gears.
Most of us do!
Honda made a HUGE mistake by not offering the J-series in the CR-V from the factory.
You should do a video on a 2001 Honda civic J swap 😬
If you do a full "how to" guide on doing a J swap prelude, I would also drop a brick in my britches. The weak point in any prelude is the engine, it's a great chassis with EXCEPTIONAL suspension but the engines are so prone to oil burning and leaking and breaking, it's a shame. I really just want to get another Prelude and drop a proper great Honda engine in it, be it K or J series. Like yeah, I could pay someone to do it, but I'd really like to DIY that beast. I just don't know how, and I definitely don't know how to make it CARB compliant. Freaking Colorado...
Gotta love those h series engine!
I’ve been waiting for you guys to delve into J series. I have j30A5. Would love to hear you expertise on it
pretty awesome, did not know Comptech made a super charger for the J-Series, would love it if Honda made a modern dual cam V6 with VTEC, I'm wondering if the C-Series would fit in some of the compact cars and if it's worth it over the J
The C-Series would fit in none of these cars, and it's transmission setup wouldn't work either.
I was selling my j35z3 engine for 300.00 a while back and no one bought it so I junked it if I would have known i would have donated it to you, I went with a j37a4 in my 6-6 accord coupe
Aww man! J37 is a great engine too.
I wish I was old and cool with a bunch of JDM projects in my yard :/
i'd like to see the j37 swap into the first gen crv ! please
I wanna convert mines to manual. Whats the best trans to covert?
All J series same tall hight?!? All type s heads fit any J series block 32/35/37 ect trying to J swap wEf hatch and all motor 350-400 goal on e85 or M1 ignite…also would i need custom wiring & management correct? 6spd lsd J trans or J to K trasn?
Which oem outer thermostat housing for a k swap points directly down? Having a weird temp guage issue.
J is the way 📈✅
Js for days!
What kind of bearings are you using ?
I wonder if its possible to jswap a acura rsx??
What’s your go to or recommendations to run j35 RWD with a TH400?
thinking of installing RRC crankshaft pulley on civic fn2 k20z4 but some RRC pulleys have holes and some don't . What should I buy with holes or without holes?
Shout out to the editor we appreciate you
Hear that Aaron?
Did you get that cam shaft???!!!
How did you get the cusco lsd, i want one 😢
Not regarding the J series but on the b swap.
Will a auto throttle body work in a manual swap? B18b1 Intake manifold
Definitely super charge it
Yes, we agree!
Do u sell these cars by any chance? The world needs a place where we can buy swapped out cars!
Like to j swap my ek hatch but can not locate any guide like best engine transmission and wiring?? Looking to keep ac I know gotta change to eg sub frame know Hasport has mounts any info thanks
That Comptech SC is based around an old Eaton M62, right?
Uses an Eaton MP62 gen5.
@@VTECAcademy take some measurements to see if an Audi 3.0T supercharger assembly will fit using an adapter plate. It uses an Eaton TVS series supercharger and has integrated intercoolers, plus they are pretty inexpensive.
