K-Swapping My FD RX7: Episode 3
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode we "finish" the K20 swap on my FD RX7! Obviously the build will never be finished, but we're finishing up Phase 1 of this build. With a K-Swap my FD will be easier to maintain, parts will be easier to find and cheaper, my fuel economy will be doubled, I'll make power easier, and the car will weigh less! The FD is one of the most attractive cars ever produced, and I can't wait to pair it with one of the best engine's ever made.

Something about gears and gasoline, it’s not like your watching ANY other car Chanel’s, for some reason the videos are warming to my heart and feels like you actually are watching a series. I cannot thank gears and gasoline enough for the content of the builds thanks 🙏🏼
yea it's the properly done editing, it's beautiful, the same build done by hoonigan would look like MTV pimp my ride. The only reason I don't lose my shit at these people for not releasing videos more frequently is the quality of the content they upload
Plus they don't go, haha just kidding guys I'm not gonna show you what wrap color I got. Next video. (5 minutes of omg can't wait til you guys see! >shows color< whooaaaaaaaaaaa (for another 5 minutes)
Part of the greatness is that all they film are "passion projects". So the editing, music, everything is done with passion. They don't buy or build something they don't truly want. I like LZ, and Jimmy and Fyeah, but they do most of there content for viewers. This hits different because it not rushed and its not done to impress us. What's more impressive is I think they put more time and money into the editing and filming then the cars.
Cinematography!!!
you should check out Mighty Car Mods too, they do a great job at this. And DaysChasingCars
I have to say it, that colour just matches the car, when you finally paint it, I think you should maintain the colour
The wrap turned out so good!
Agreed it looks amazing. Keep the color.
@@GearsandGasoline $3,000 for a wrap!??
@@andymairena3221 that’s what they cost in my area as well
Gorgeous colour!
This has been an extremely fun, and well done, project to follow along with. Excited to see what's next for both this car and future projects!
Big fan man.
Had to take this rare chance to remind you that your awesome, and the fiero project has been amazing to watch and follow along with.
MORE FIEROOOO
Boy so happy to see you here as well!! Can't wait to see the end of the (hopefully also phase 1) Fiero!
Please done this fiero
10:50 "we have too much boost" is one of the best problems I'd love to have
Until you have too little engine in your engine
Haha honestly that's the opposite of what you want.
Just get some snippers and cut your wastegate signal line lol. Then you get as much boost as it'll make
Man, now I want a K-swapped FC, Just to call It KFC
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Lmao💀
LOL
You need to do it now
As if I wasn’t impressed enough by Andy doing this build... he can tig weld
He can tig weld aluminum.. that's a whole different game. I can tig steel just fine.. and I blow awesome holes in aluminum 😁
@@jamesborek8125 so true, such a clean bead too
@@jamesborek8125 the hardest part with aluminum is it needs to be clean clean clean. Did I mention clean? 😂 literally you need to use acitone on the filler rod, the front and back of the metal you’re welding.
Just want to say thank you for having the car running, dynoed, and wrapped all in 1 episode instead of 3. Hate the "wait till next episode to find out the Dyno numbers".
My thoughts exactly. Quality content creators right here
“Stock K20 no go boom”
Honda forums: yOu NeEd MoRe PoWeR
😂
Just fill the oil until it comes out from the top
Idk I see a bunch of k20 blow stock lol
FD RX7 and the Acura NSX are the most beautiful 90's Japanese cars.
The R32 and S15 are up there too imo
Rx7 and Nsx are on a league of their own.
Add the s15 there and take out "90s japanese". Those 3 cars are some of the most beautiful cars ever made. I'd say they sit alongside the Toyota 2000gt and the E-type
@@samcumby I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don't think the e type is that great. Different and nice is how I describe that car. For a low car it looks like it will tip over because the wheels are so far inboard.
@@rhull3939 yeah I get that. Seeing them modernized with classical wheels but great fitment, they look fantastic. Bone stock tho, the FD is up there with the most beautiful cars in existence
All these likes are for Andy
Yea. Dude has an incredible wealth of knowledge and work ethic. Would love to know more about his shop, how he built his knowledge/past of cars, etc etc.
"365 horse too low" Laughs in 150 horsepower b swap civic
B swap civic gang
the content is so good, that this channel should be a seperate Netflix series.
Ben : the goal for the dyno is to make the least amount of power.
The Internet : 👁👄👁
Dude my jaw DROPPED when it rolled out of the wrap shop. I can’t imagine how good it must look in person
Rob Dahm is loosing his mind to see this FD getting a Kswap 😂😂😂
Rob can't really complain he 13b swapped a corvette xD
Perhaps ben must be a hater of rob
He needs to 13b swap a honda
This is Evo Ben, I have no dog in this fight, but this conversation is awesome.
@@GearsandGasoline you Ben Evo have the biggest dog from all of us in the conversation 🥴
That Evo is just too sick!
Found this channel about a year ago with the Civic vs Miata road trip. The shots that they capture are phenomenal with no BS click bait. You can really tell that they love what they do and want to share that experience with everyone. I look forward to seeing their content like a kid getting up for Saturday morning cartoons.
Uploaded 43 seconds ago, already has one dislike...someone sounds jealous lol
They jealous because they can gave a same quality content
They jelly because of the amount of cylinders in the engine bay lol.
lol facts!!!
Either that or it's a rotary or LS swap fanboy
It's the purists..
Maybe they jealous because he swap the rotary out of it.
and make 350 on the lowest boost setting 😂
I think sometimes I forget to appreciate the effort that they go into filming and editing these videos. It’s amazing
I do hope you go back and paint with the stock color eventually. It’s such a perfect color combo with the tan interior.
Look forward to this every Sunday (Australia)
Pretty cool with a tiny bit of boost it made 100+hp over the NA Civic.
Can't wait to see continued progress on this car
OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS !
Same
I've been waiting for them to hit 1mil subs, they totally deserve it ❣️
@@jandwinplazos7174 yeah that too
I love your guys mentality of appreciate everyone's build even if it's out the norm. If your build makes you happy that's all that matters
You should consider installing a stock wing on that bad boy, the back looks just a little bit empty. Love how far the car has come and I'm looking forward to more of it!
The chills at 21:29 are incomparable! Just wow
Ben: "Flip up headlights"
James Pumphrey must be screaming "Pop up Up'n down headlights" at the top of his lungs
It looks absolutely amazing!
And about wraps, for a temporary change, they're great. I wrapped my E36 3M gloss envy green over a week during the summer, and the results are great for a diy job.
People sleep on wraps too much. For a temporary or more cost effective colour change, you can't beat it.
Less prep work, no drying times, easier... I love it.
For diy yeah. 3K for a wrap is kinda insane tho, I’d rather just a couple grand more for paint at that point
@@jeldibye yeah, having it done professionally won't be cheap. It's the wrapper's time you're paying for then, rather than the material.
I paid £500 for material and worked for around a week, but you get what you pay for. A professional job will look amazing, a diy one will have it's imperfections. But the material is still excellent
"350hp is the lowest amount of power we can make"
Damn I need to K-swap MY car
@stubbk3 NO
*boosted
Thank you for the videos. Always calming my mind and soul when I need it the most.
I spend all week waiting for these vids, I would love if they could upload more but I don't want the quality to go down because of it.
I think it’s funny that the exit door has an out of service sign on it🤣🤣
I love this series
Blown away how it came out
I’d love to see a rescue series from this channel, especially with the quality of the videos. Editing is amazingly satisfying
Will you K Swap a roomba in future?
360 wheel hp is super fun, if you say that’s low power in a light rear wheel drive car. Than you haven’t driven one. I had a 380 whp S13 and it ripped, and was super balanced.
14:45 was that water or oil coming out the exhaust ?
Man not gonna cap, made my smile & giggle seeing it run around the block for the first time. Keep up the good work my dude, respect for the k swap fd 👏
I am excited to see what this fd will turn out to be
As a fellow swapped FD owner (LS3), this is a beautiful build. Keep it up!
He's doing the Jim face from the office
I just found your channel after having met Ja that had the NSX you did a video on 2 years ago. I love how your videos are composed and created, they're all beautiful!
I totally forgot about this car. When are y'all gonna K-swap Ben next?
Didn't look much into wraps myself but boy did those guys change my mind!
I feel like Andy's gotten used to being on camera, he makes a more direct and relaxed approach/appearance everytime he's on. He actually makes direct eye contact now, as opposed to older videos with him.
I’m not huge with the import scene. I’m into hot rods and classic trucks. But there’s something about these videos that I really enjoy. The cars aren’t the typical ricer garbage that I see constantly on the streets. These cars are clean and the mods are executed nicely.
Next a big ass spoiler
Or just a cool duck tail
how bout no spoiler
They did an amazing job in wrapping the car😍
Bro, we're twinning.
1jz fd?
14:45 “This car is ready to take to the streets!” Then proceeds to have a shit ton of oil came out the exhaust!
Beautiful building though! Great work Andy!
That red looks so nice. Before watching, I thought it was legit paint.
...do you love it?
Loved the content it actually has inspired me to go ahead with my k swapped mkiv build. I have most of the parts just need time now.
DAMM IT LOOKS GOOD DIDN'T EXPECT THAT NICE CHOICE BEN🔥🔥
Best build series of 2020. 0 fluff right and to the point
Smokes just like a civic, mission accomplished! The build is a success 😂
Keep the pop ups, toss the rotary. You're my kind of guy. Thumbs up galore. 👍👍👍
Can't say I've been 11 seconds early before :P
Im sure mrs burt may disagree 🤨
@@christianbenavente6202 oooo sike
Gears & Gasoline. The underdog of car YT channels. Always surprising me. This channel has my heart! It doesn’t have billionaire boys yelling at the camera pointing and drag racing their obnoxious Lamborghinis. But their videos are just so nice! Attainable cars that car enthusiasts can actually go after. And a great learning experience too!
@G&G, Awesome work with the filming, photography & sound track.
put mazdaspeed wing on it!
Absolutely gorgeous video, the editing is unlike any other youtube channel and I always look forward to your guy's videos. Just amazing
12:40
Rotary is still in the car
But still not a real rx7
@@auyong1566 I mean Rotarys are pretty hard to fix so i wont blame anyone for swapping it
Maybe u are right , but rotary isnt hard to fix just the part is rare and there are less people used to it
@@auyong1566 Thats true
Tesa tape and texflex all those wires that are shown to make it more of a show vehicle! I could be the great person to do it but as you all know I'm a stranger to every single one of you but hopefully you guys make it more show worthy that RX7 with a Honda engine looks amazing! Very very beautiful RX-7! I'm new to the whole automobile wrapping nowadays I'm used to painting a vehicle.
Call this blasphemy but this is sick
I am not the hugest fan of red but that looks real good and I honestly would consider a shade like that when you paint it. Sets of the natural curves of the car.
Car guys: I love rotary cars,Rotary all day baby! “Swaps engine”👎🏻
Red exterior with tan interior ... classic Ferrari style ... and with similar performance (or better?) without the hassles
Soooo nice
Ben's car is slowly becoming on the Bought side of the term "Built No Bought" You're basically buying everything for someone to build it for you. It'd be more nice if you built it. But when you have money, anything is possible lol
The borrowed rim fit just nice and looks great on the RX7. All you need just a spoiler at the back... Then it's perfect.
I wanted to k swap a rx7 so bad but they are crazy expensive in Canada even a shell.
So settled for a rx8 and almost done my k swap.
Alot of hrs and money ill say that!
About 30k so far into the car and its still completely stock exterior wise.
But shes built for 1000+hp
Love the vid boys
It's really coming along now, looks beautiful in that red color. Great build series.
FARK! that car looks sick now with the wrap!! WHAT A TRANSFORMATION! love the series you guys are legends
This has been my absolute favorite series you've done.
Car is insane, you are very lucky to have such good people around you, excellent work from ye all
I think the question isn’t what else can Andy do, it’s more what CAN’T he do? The guys a genius.
Ya know, I usually hate piston swapped RE cars, but this one? This gets two thumbs way up! Definitely glad the K series revs as high if not higher than the 13B. Nice one Ben! 👊👊👊
I love RX-7’s in bright colors. I’m not a huge fan of reds, but this wrap looks great on it.
That wrap transformation is incredible. Credit to the guys at that shop. And ASM for their massive efforts too. And to you mate for making this all come together.
My lord, what a sexy FD RX-7! Everything came out amazing. Love the K20 and the 365 whp, and that was the least possible power it would make! Even the wrap came out 🔥. Looking great, Ben. Having so much fun watching the build series.
The fact that the man can do almost everything for that car is mind blowing....
Never knew such a shop like this existed in a small town plover, wi...had family in that town as well
The rx7 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, the red color is a nice touch
These videos are amazingly impressive! Learned a lot from just watching 2 videos 💯
Wow.... what a great build. Can’t wait to see this RX-7’s progression
You all are making the highest quality car content on TH-cam. Also like that this isn't all Lambo's. These are real projects for real car guys.
Wow! That looks awesome. A kswap in a fd is the way to go.
Love this series, an interview with Andy would be really good
Knocked it out of the park! Epic stuff guys. Filmography on point too.
Wow that color looks incredible. I too would also go with a safe color like white black or gray but that red looks awesome
I always feel so fulfilled after one of y'all's episodes. Thank you for your diligent and entertaining work.
I just love this project sooo much! My favorite car, my favorite motor and I loved the wrap! Good job from Portugal 🇵🇹
I gotta say I avoided watching this series because I typically don't like Honda/Honda engines for a few different reasons, but I gotta say you've done a great job keeping it clean and it actually sounds really good which I'm pleasantly surprised about
Keen to see what's next
I wont lie i started to lose interest in the car scene for a while but watching these build videos have really started getting me back into the spirit thank you guys :DD
I actually really like how modest this first phase of the build was.
I see way too many 'XXX HP DYNO DAY' titles, This was just build Ep. 3.
And 10/10 for getting it happy rather than going for the highest number. Especially when it'll be the first road miles of the car in so long!
Respect to Andy and everyone involved.
Great choice on the color for the wrap. Love the build. Love your videos. Love your commitment to produce quality content.
You shoul be proud, you made a reliable Rx 7
Hi Andy it's awesome to see that your taking your work with pride and professionalism by looking after your customer first. It's obvious that your one of few that takes a systematic break in approach that will lead to greater rewards. Great videos and let us know when your gonna send it😂😂😂😂😨😨😨😉....hey Ben car looks siiiicckkkk....we won't tell anyone about the rotary..lol
I'm always immersed and blown away by the video quality of this channel, you guys put in hella work and it shows, thank you so much for blessing the automotive world with your content.
Amazing this Swapped turned out super fantastic.... cant wait to see more of this and the new rims..
I really want to wrap my car after seeing this. Red was the right choice it looks amazing
keep that color, is so amazing, and there's not too much 'real color' cars on the road.
I love the color of that wrap! Can't wait to see more episodes on this!
Andy is a beast! I remember his white Evo setting a record video.
