      Bro, when I started researching k swaps, it was a whole world of new knowledge! It was super overwhelming but also exciting at the same time, I'll work on explaining all the parts I'm using so you guys can learn too :D

    I am in top of all your videos when they come out now, you’ve taught me so much through all your videos, contributed so much to my interests in preludes since I first got one. This k swap series is the best because I’ve been dying to do so forever, now one of my favorite creators is doing it. So stoked, keep pushing brotha. Can’t wait to see this monster run.

    For anyone wanting to build a K series aswell.... From what i read the K20 waterpump flows better. IF you swap your K20 or K24 waterpump for the K20 waterpump, be sure to use the K20 alternator aswell! I found out the hard way, but the K24 alternator doesnt fit all the way on the K20 waterpump housing.

    • @Rawrkee
      @Rawrkee  Рік тому +1

      Ahhh man, I wish I knew that beforehand 😫😫😫 I think the k20 housing also has a port for the fuel filter cooler. On the 8th gen civic at least

    • @asbuster2191
      @asbuster2191 Рік тому

      @@Rawrkee The K20 waterpump has the L pipe for the oil cooler, yes. Dont think the fuel filter needs cooling haha. My K24A3 has it aswell. But its ok! The K24 waterpump flows well enough. And i think the biggest thing was the outlet for the oil cooler. I dont think you`ll run into problems unless you want to make a 1000HP, 9000 RPM monster :P. Also, a tip if you want to make more power, a K20A2 cilinder head should increase power quite a bit. Though they cost alot...

    • @Rawrkee
      @Rawrkee  Рік тому

      Ahh I see, thanks for the tips bro! When you say flow better, do you also mean burping the system is much easier too? I've burped the coolant on the civic a few times and it was no fun. I'm thinking about getting one of those swirl pots from Tractuff hahah @@asbuster2191

    Yesssir!!! Been watching since you lived in the Carolina’s bro. Ive always wanted a kswapped prelude, but St. Louis don’t got any decent ludes. I got me a 08 tsx right now and the k24a2 is a hella good motor, mine doesn’t burn or leak oil so I’m happy about that. Used to have a 04 6 speed tsx but sadly that one got totaled

    why upgrade the radiator? i mean it's awesome but the stock rad is pretty stout too

    • @Rawrkee
      @Rawrkee  Рік тому

      Mainly because the positioning of the upper radiator port. At its current location, it’d point straight at the intake manifold, on the k series, it needs to be on the driver side. Plus I just wanted something nice and shiny to compliment the bay 😆

    quick question where did you buy most of your oem parts? about to K Swap an mr2 and im new to the honda world

    • @Rawrkee
      @Rawrkee  Рік тому

      Welcome to the Honda world 😆
      There isn’t a specific place I bought all the parts, I simply got all the OEM part numbers and compared them on different websites. Surprisingly, some parts were cheaper on Amazon. I noticed that was only true when it was from a seller in Japan and so the part would probably take a week to get delivered. Be sure to check eBay too, sometimes you’ll find a good deal but double check the description and the seller’s profile to make sure it’s a legit OEM part. If it’s too good to be true, it just might be. Good luck with the swap!
