Oh god who decided to put the intakes on the outside? Those aren't even the 3 inch intakes so I'm confused why they felt the need to do that instead of keeping it inside the bumper

CAN I USE THE TSX MOUNTS ??£

Using an angle grinder with no guard and no safety glasses/face mask while underneath a car is an absolutely horrid idea.

That was so chill, I enjoyed watching this one <3

Installed this in my 1999 Miata Base. This radiator fits several years and versions and each may require minor fitment mods. For my left hand drive ‘99: - When removing stock unit, remember there is a mid-bottom bracket that you can’t easily see. Remove completely. Discard. - Before installation ensure your fans will line up on the new unit. - Either remove or tie back upper hose for room to work. -Then, place the new radiator without the fans. (Yes, some people installed the complete assembly all at once, but trust me, it’s much more effective to install fans after the radiator is in car.) - Install passenger side fan first, hand tightening the four bolts to allow movement for positioning before final tightening with wrench. Tighten top bolts first. - Driver’s side fan placement is impeded by A/C lines on bottom outside side. Do not bend or modify your A/C lines thereby risking damage or leaks. Instead, cut the fan housing with a Dremel or similar tool. Remove one inch wide by two inch high section of housing. The A/C lines will not be hit by fan blades. Install the fan with the two upper bolts (there are no lower bolts on the driver’s side fan). Overall, it’s a tight fit. I don’t have numbers, but I know the operating temperature is now a bit lower. The car’s temperature gauge previously stood just above halfway mark when hot. Now it’s just below half.

@khevenlagos what did you do to get better grounding. I see a battery under the engine. Did you just attached a jumper cable to the negative battery terminal and hook it to both valve cover and engine block? Did you do anything with the positive terminal? How many jumper cables did you end up using? Thanks man! Having similar issue

What throttle body ou go with?

How long did that lip take to ship to you? I know that seller isnt in the US. Just curious and hows the fitment on it? Might get one too

I can't believe he replaced the glass window top with a plastic window top. He'll regret that in a couple of years.

Very wrong thing to do with brake discs. do not repeat after the author. The petal disc does not remove some of the metal evenly, thereby the brake pads do not fit correctly and this can lead to incorrect wear and braking. The most you can use is sandpaper or a coral sanding disc. But without effort.

w bro, i just got a em2 as my first car, tryna get like you in like 2 years lol

Super excited to watch the build and learn/follow along with you! Bought my ES1 four months ago and absolutely fell in love with the way it drove and felt and looked. Unfortunately some shenanigans went down, and the timing belt tensioner we put in when we bought it failed and we bent the valves. Bought what we thought was a D17A1 head assembly after verifying pistons were okay but the yard had it marked wrong so we ended up buying a D17A2 head assembly. We took the cam assembly out of the old head and threw it into the (new) one to bypass the vtec in the engine since the car doesn't have a module for it. Its been running for about a month now but around 1500-1700rpm under load it can't seem to hold a steady rpm and bounces around the range, and instead of trying to fix that I'm just going to swap it for something much more fun. Will definitely be taking notes! Looking forward to watching the whole build!

Great job dude! My dad had a mid range Special Edition in blue and 8 year old me was planning out a K-series swap, because the car looks great. He sold it but I'm definitely buying an ES2 after I sell my EM2 which has turned out to be a bit of a clunker. Best part is in Canada the EX was called Si with Si badging, so I can still call it an Si.

Nice car bro

Thats not a EM2. Thats a ES2. EM2 is a coupe

Why didnt you just swap the hubs themselves. The control arms are the same. Ep3/rsx and 01-05 civic, would've saved you time

That core support is gonna snap on impact brotha. Core supports and airbags could have saved me better 15 years ago. I knocked the windshield out with my face in my CRX and I limp most of the time now. Looks like tons of fun though 🫡

You have any diy how to k swap an em2 or es1

You end up having any issues with it contacting any parts and rubbing?

if i have kpro am i going to have to get my key programmed or anything?

Stupid AF

Need to take them from the coupe

could be your vtec solenoid, sometimes the filter gets blocked with sludge so you could either get an new one or try cleaning out the old one

Great work: the restoration looks smart!

That's so awesome bro I'm really wanting to swap my 2001 em2 very soon

where you at brotherrrrrrr

Hey bro how many degrees of camber you running? Thanks

Hola el modelo de los rines es de qué honda ???

nice build man. hey where did you get those rear bumper flares they look sick and i can't find them hahaha

SOOOO curious. Ep3 had 4 lug so what are the front hubs off of. You said ep3 si but they aren't 5 lug

Were you ever able to discover why VTEC wasn’t engaging with your car?

@khevenlagos thanks so much for posting this, going to save me a lot of money for my swap. Super excited to drop my TSX K24a2 into my 03’ Civic LX!

Good job I’ll like to see more

Nice upgrade the es1 seats just look disgusting 90s van vibe

So if I use a SI shifter box with cable and a tsx style selector will it work?

Im doing my kswap and was just wondering where you wire the fans into, i got the switch figured out but just want to know about the fans themselves

Cool project and video, really loved the way you showed how you worked on it. If you could lower the volume for the music would sound better. <3

This is my inspiration civic trying to get mine like this! I just installed the ep3 seat in it

I wanna put a s2000 k24 in my 2001 civic currently rebuilding the manual transmission front end in it. It has the d17a2 in it

long awaited resurrection of the exhaust!

I just got the same header! CAn't wait to install it!! i'm not goinna use the gasket and the bolts it came with as well ahah!

them transitions are 🔥!

Where do you live? So much rust

Dawg how did you not die

Stock looks betta

so what happen when you need to turn the fog light off and still need your headlights on?

We both need to fix the speedometer my 01 ex gauge isn't working

"held on by zipties and dreams" is so relatable

My abs light keeps coming on at random times. No clue why. My oil pressure also says it's over 120 psi... But meh lol. The oil pressure is fine my sensor is out. I honestly just don't have the money to shell out for all of this.
