tbh i like the color and USDM front and hope you keep it. People will probably assume it's just a basic LS or GSR, meanwhile you're packing way more under the hood.
7:35 I’m so glad he pointed that out. DONT BUY CHEAP PLUGS CAUSE THEYRE CHEAP, YOULL MESS UP THE MOTOR AND GET WORSE FUEL ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY. I cannot stress that enough and I’m glad David kept that bit in
David, I can’t believe how this car has transformed. I saw this car once in person at C&O. I don’t go often but hope you take it there some day, would love to see it!
i cant wait to get all those beautiful parts on my k swaped coupe! your inspireing me to rebuild my swap. not many people do it completely right. very very nice build
I am so glad you documented this. This is super informative. Idk if I am going to K20 swap my own EJ8 OR just send the car down to Hybrid Racing and have them do it! Honestly, they are so legit and professional. You def picked the right spot to have this done!
You're like 100% past it, but you should consider changing out the upper chain guide to part number: 14540-RAA-A02. It's a longer guide and is just an easy swap, part is off of the 06-11 Civic SI. Easy OEM upgrade. Lots of little OEM bits you can change around for others. Spent months and months playing with these motors, wonderful little beasts.
An employ from O'Reilly.. I saw that damn back scratcher and pick up tool.. Just about had a fit, because those damn things stare me down EVERYDAY I'm at work. Them shits never get sold.
Amazing job David! The K20A is such an incredible engine and the difference in power, rev limits, and drivetrain delivery will be bliss! Just curious why you didn't consider upgrading the cam shafts or replacing the head gasket and head bolts/studs while the engine is out and easily accessible? Don't get me wrong, I get how this can be a slippery slope and can begin to add up, but just curious of your reasons brotha.
Just acting out of curiosity, why did you choose to not use any parts from ktuned in your swap, as from what I can tell they are the top of the line and I am considering one of their swap kits. What are the advantages of the kit provided by this swap versus ktuned parts
Actually amateurs don't run Spoon engines, they can't afford them. Haha A Spoon Sports entry level K20A would cost between $9,000-$10,000 and that's literally just the engine. It doesn't come with any wiring, accessories, pulleys, intake manifold or exhaust manifold/header.
I wanna k20 swap my 98 civic what y’all thank a ball park price is for the hole swap and would I need a trans or would my current factory 5speed bolt up
Probably around 5 grand of so if you use quality parts, and depending on how "basic" you want your swap to be. Every broke ass Honda kid is probably going to comment here talking about how they spent way less or how their "boi" just did one for 14 cents. Quality parts make a difference. I'm also a bit older than most teenage Honda kids, and I believe in doing something right and doing it once with quality shit. And no, use a K-series transmission.
Absolute minimum ball park swap cost is just over $4000 doing ALL the work yourself including wiring and normal junkyard pricing. Can always upgrade parts later like shifter, harness, etc. but average k-swap cost is roughly $6000
Honestly if you dont mind really maintaining the integra then its a really fun car. I bought 2 1st gen tegs and i love them both but the upkeep on them pisses me off. Depending on the miles you should just replace anything to do with cooling. First car probably shouldnt be rwd lol.
I had a car come to my shop in 08/09 with a K20 engine running generic non-resistor champion spark plugs. It caused so much interference with the ECU that it wouldn't datalog any ignition tables. If you think it's BS, look at how K-Series coil packs are wired to the ECU (their specific circuits) and look up non-resistor plugs. Do your research.
You remind me of me started with a mustang, now on to the k20 life! Also go with hasport mounts inovative are garbage that's why they replace for free they will break under boost... Hybrids good but ktuned have done it longer..
False. Hybrid has been doing swaps since 2003 when ktuned wasn't even a company doing Honda stuff. Innovative mounts have a lifetime warranty so you don't have to worry about anything happening, and if it does, they will cover it.
PracticalBuilds yes, still have to cut a whole for the shifter cable, and drill out the frame rail mount. just need to slightly modify the cabin harness for the auto to manual conversion
the hardest part about an engine swap is not having an extra car laying around for your daily haha fuck me. i start the actual swap on jan 20th.... been waiting sense october
All my life I’ve thought cars were hard to understand and work on but there actually pretty simple you just gotta be careful. And computers are like cars only you gotta be extremely careful That and it’s called oll not oile
Shes a real rider! I watch david since 20k he had a private story where he move from his old home town to A town to meet this girl he been with for a while long term relationship and he wanted to surprise her walk in seen her getting fucked... he was heart broken.. days pass and pass he then found this girl that sitting on that chair in the video and they been more happier then ever im so proud of david he a true humble guy.
We are so close to the VTEC YOOOOO!!!!
What’s your favorite part of this series so far?
The David^2 dynamic is awesome and I enjoy Alejandra’s witty remarks!
Can’t wait to see this running!!!
Love how much info you guys are providing, makes me want to attempt to K20A swap an integra as well
Great little refresh on the K20 Send it
probably the innovative mounts because they make a quality product that they stand by and mainly it makes the swap easier
ThatDudeinBlue that it’s so informational!
Poor alajandra. Shes just sits there all day without complaining. You scored with her David. Keep her protected all the time.
The world needs more women like that🙃 meanwhile my girl spent 5 minutes looking for the spot for an 8mm socket😂
@@brysonshires9742 my girl does the sames and helps as much as she can
I love you are doing a proper JDM K20A swap into the integra, keeping N/A Type-R dreams alive

*Starts cleaning it*

One of my engine mounts is failing on my acura thanks for helping me with brand recommendations!
so happy your focusing on uploading more on the integra, giveing the people what they want! Favorite part is Hybrid racing helping with the build!
David, I can’t believe how this car has transformed. I saw this car once in person at C&O. I don’t go often but hope you take it there some day, would love to see it!
My guy You should have gone with “Peggy the Teggy is Nearly READY”

I love how you guys are doing step by step doing a k swap
00:02-00:04 let's just admire the interior for being absolutely insane and not basic looking
My favorite part of this build is the fact your are so hands on with a extremely attainable vehicle 🚗 keep it up 🤜🏼
Let the brap stus.... Commence!
What a clean swap. This is going to end up looking like something that would be featured in Super Street magazine back in the day!
I swear by hasport mounts💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
The true kings of K-swapping!
Dude, your girl is a rider! Good work man.
Not sure how much product this series will move, but I hope it's a lot. It was a very very well filmed series with a lot of DIY content. Good job.
Rolling coal packs - if a diesel had coil packs
Can't wait to finally meet you at Tuner Evolution this Sunday! Hope you enjoy the Island, cheers!
I have a b18c5 type R engine in my Teg, man I can't wait to see the outcome of this build.

*Buick ad plays*
GET THOSE BUICKS OUT OF MY K20!!!
I got nothing but brand power ads lol
Come pregapped.. just like most hondas... 😂😂 jk love the vids
Oof 100
Wow makes me want to start working on my junkyard integra sitting in my backyard. Been years since I've done anything to it.
beautiful product placement @4:53
Yessss first to watch! And like! Love you buddy!
TheLifeofRon you are the man my dude!
Your girlfriend is hella patient bro. She sat there the entire time. Slap a ring on it quick.
Welcome to the #nomoresinglecam gang
the chicken foot magnet is ment to grab stuff under the car and hold it as you pull towards you
will you be posting videos that show the details that you cut for time I.e. like where you drilled the hole on fire wall for the engine harness?
This is an awesome video series! I cannot wait to see the finished car.
You should pull the head and replace the head gasket, install arp studs, and do a valve train job on the cylinder head 🏎💨🔥
VTEC!!!! Can’t wait to hear it what exhaust system are you doing? Huge fan love your content I showed a top Honda engineer your videos also..
Just acting out of curiosity, why did you choose to not use any parts from ktuned in your swap, as from what I can tell they are the top of the line and I am considering one of their swap kits. What are the advantages of the kit provided by this swap versus ktuned parts
Definitely enjoy seeing the work you guys put in on your builds.. 💪‼️
just did the IAC on my 3000GT. pain to get at, but easy to fix.
David’s face during the entire beginning was “I have no idea what I’m doing or what any of these are”
Should pull the head and replace the head gasket, arp studs, and valve train job on the cylinder head 🏎💨🔥
this is going to be so sick David !!
Never add the sealer to the coolant temp sensor, they ground themselves on the block and the liquid teflon keeps it from grounding properly.
It's a tapered fitting so tightening it is going to metal to metal even though it has sealant. I've done it 1000 times with no issues.
The K20A needs a new head gasket and ARP studs
I feel like u should do a review on the boosted boiz mr2 when its finished..
Are ITB's an option David ?
Come on David... where's the Spoon engine? Smh Haha
This man doesnt run spoon engine 🤭 amateur
Actually amateurs don't run Spoon engines, they can't afford them. Haha
A Spoon Sports entry level K20A would cost between $9,000-$10,000 and that's literally just the engine. It doesn't come with any wiring, accessories, pulleys, intake manifold or exhaust manifold/header.
Sergio Aguirre true. 4P for the one. Someday I’ll buy their $8000 long block k20. Spoon is beyond overrated
@@ChrisSadowski what's their target? Drag racers or circuit/track racers
Sergio Aguirre Spoon targets track/circuit racing, not drag racing.
The chicken foot thing is a great back scratcher
I think the JDM front end and headlights would stand out way more !
Simpsons did it!!😂
Skunk2 manifold or some more modz would be cool.
Do a review of the Integra after the k20a is in
Its erl cause u got to check on him and make sure he's in the motor
It's EARL!
Smurrf=Super(Pro)charged
BlueJZ=Turbocharged
Peggy=N/A or Juiced (nitrous)???
I wanna k20 swap my 98 civic what y’all thank a ball park price is for the hole swap and would I need a trans or would my current factory 5speed bolt up

And no, use a K-series transmission.
Ok thank you 🙏 and yes I am the same way she looks like shit but I don’t care I just want the best motor to make power with going for a sleeper lol 😂
Absolute minimum ball park swap cost is just over $4000 doing ALL the work yourself including wiring and normal junkyard pricing. Can always upgrade parts later like shifter, harness, etc. but average k-swap cost is roughly $6000
Waiting to see how fast it is going to be
The chicken foot is also a bottle openers
can’t wait til the Lil Teg is finished👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾
Where did you get your K20a?
Finally we got to drop a K20 in the Integra
The K20A needs ITBs
You sure that “magnet” was’t actually a back scratcher?
It's definitely called Earl
"Right........yeah.........uh huh"
90% of Dudeinblue the whole time they were explaining the engine swap parts
Great to see someone who understands he is there to learn from someone with a lot of experience rather than a know it all. Thanks David
You should have sent the old Integra engine to sheepyrace 🐑 to twin turbo it and refresh it.
Am about to buy my first car in about a month, acura integra or new edge mustang?
Edit: or any recommendations on what i should get?
Get a 96 Subaru legacy gt sedan.
Cheap car, reliable, 2.5l, safe...
Crown Vic. Get the p71. Cheap, engine will never die, V8, very safe.
@@wrandom4932 yeah, Subaru 2.5 might die, but that when you swap it
Honestly if you dont mind really maintaining the integra then its a really fun car. I bought 2 1st gen tegs and i love them both but the upkeep on them pisses me off. Depending on the miles you should just replace anything to do with cooling. First car probably shouldnt be rwd lol.
New edge for sure, try to get the lowest miles possible
Why no turbo tho
Missing a RBC manifold
Love your Videos
I want to delete thst abs sooooooo baaaaaaad. But it's your car david so do whatever you want. Excited to see the end result!
Maybe I missed it in an older video, but why does the dash and center console look matte/suede?
They flocked the dash in a previous video
abs delete???
YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT EARL?
Omg cant wait dude
Damn David living the K20 N/A dreams. I am here just waiting for my B16b to die so I can go with a K20/24 lol
Lol my dude was looking extremely tired at the end
The car wouldn’t data log ... because of spark plugs ... I call bs
I had a car come to my shop in 08/09 with a K20 engine running generic non-resistor champion spark plugs. It caused so much interference with the ECU that it wouldn't datalog any ignition tables. If you think it's BS, look at how K-Series coil packs are wired to the ECU (their specific circuits) and look up non-resistor plugs. Do your research.

Crx Bart and k20a.org archives would disagree. In 2003 we had parts that weren't open to the public yet.
@@k20aef8 we did swaps before K20A.org was even a website. If you want to go back where it started, search Honda-Tech in 02-04... but who cares?
I want to K24 swap my Rsx Type S so bad!
5:28 Earl Leeker
Boosted Boiz could do this in a day and a turbo kit
yet here you are
Joe Don it’s probably been done, just lots of footage of extra bullshit to make episodes out of it lol
What if we have an automatic Integra. Is this swap still the same procedure?
PracticalBuilds yes, still have to cut a whole for the shifter cable, and drill out the frame rail mount. just need to slightly modify the cabin harness for the auto to manual conversion
You will also need to remove the automatic shifter brackets inside of the exhaust tunnel.
อยากแปลงเป็น RHD จะยอดไปเลย 👍👍
the hardest part about an engine swap is not having an extra car laying around for your daily haha fuck me. i start the actual swap on jan 20th.... been waiting sense october
DAVID! you're from SOUTHERN VIRGINIA and you dont know what ool is!? :D
Why not just bypass the IAC ?
Would've laughed if Alejandra said "Aceite!" which is oil in spanish
Throwing k24a in my rsx soon!
All my life I’ve thought cars were hard to understand and work on but there actually pretty simple you just gotta be careful. And computers are like cars only you gotta be extremely careful
That and it’s called oll not oile
I believe the correct pronunciation is “motor all.”
Did your girlfriend sit there the whole time lol😱
Time for a new girlfriend.
Shes a real rider!
