Shimp has been a friend of mine for a few years now, and I hired him here at Wits End Fabrication because I know what he's capable of doing. He's an awesome mechanic, a hell of a builder and an even better friend. I'm proud of you homie, keep making these things happen 💪i got your back!
Having known him in high school I look back and it all makes so much more sense. 🤣 Next watch him end up with a mid engine Model 3 or something nuts like that.
To my ears, nothing sounds better than a "VR6", VR5, a inline 5 or a V10 at 9000rpm........I love this guys mind set "build what you want, not what people expect"
Bruh you have the biggest case of giggles over your build. Congrats man. That's what we all want in the end. Something that's different and makes us happy and smile and laugh.
This dude gets it. Who cares what everyone else is doing, do your own thing! People are going to hate because it's out of the box, and people are also going to love it because it's out of the box. Do you and never let anybody else tell you it's wrong. Love the builds man! Keep them coming 👌🏼
I'm happy to see how many Honda people are complimenting these builds in the comments. I am one of them... I LOVE when people do unexpected stuff like this... (Why the hell not?) I think that any hate this guy gets thrown at him only makes him stronger! Mid engine, RWD Integra? I don't care what's powering it... IT'S DAMN COOL! KEEP BUILDING MAN!!
Love it man. I have a Honda k-swapped 1988 Nissan pulsar that created some negativity from Nissan purists. At the end of the day not only did you create something unique, you did it affordably, had fun, and learned along the way.
I met a GTI guy, cool dude knows them extremely well. He told me that whenever you see someone ride in a gti, there’s always a smile on their face. 15:15 is that perfect example and I’ve seen it before. I could be wrong and that smile could be from the thought of the fact that a Integra/GTI Frankenstein was accomplished, but either way that’s a smile that says “I’m enjoying every moment of this”
Honda guy here: It's my belief that any possible way you can make a Honda fly down the road without exploding, is a win! This guy has done some awesome work. So much respect.
Now THAT is a hotrod! That’s exactly what modding cars is all about. What a glorious mishmash of random stuff in service of making something weird work. I love it!
Car culture is now toxic as fuck… it’s starting to sound like a bunch of nationalists and warmonger competing over who got the biggest guns. Can’t no body shows a little respect for other people’s build. Shit always gotta be so nosy, noisy, and offensive.. there is no class, even hyper cars owner getting just as bad.
@@luckycbr600rr there still are regular car guys out there like me who have respect for every build and any take on a vehicle that. an Enthusiast wants to have. You're right though the fake outweigh the legit and too many asking for props or arguing for bragging rights
Thank you so much for sharing this. That harlequin 1.8t civic is F'N awesome. Would definitely benefit with a Quaife or Peloquin in there. Don't even get me started on how cool that 'Teg is as well. You can bet the coilpack is shot on a VR if its stock. Ford windstar coilpack or MSD coils with custom wires are both upgrades for the OEM VW pack. Not only from a performance perspective but from a price point. I've ran both configurations on multiple AAA 12v's, all the way up to the 24v's. Big difference. I once had an mk2 gli with a AAA 12v that had such a shitty coilpack in it that when there would be moisture on it you could pop the hood and watch the sparks dance all over but when it was dry the car would run perfectly. This was a fully built all motor AAA in a black '91 gli with every suspension/ brake/ running gear mod. Only thing it was missing was some ITB's. I really loved that car. Love how everything down to the cluster and stuff was retrofitted in your swaps. I didn't even think about the CAN-BUS signals and resistance in the harness. Really good points that could definitely make all the electronics freak out. I dig the e39 16" BBS too! I'm a huge bimmer guy, having owned and built more of them than VAG cars and I also spied that blue e36 in the background. Cool ass builds, and I don't know of anyone else who has done any similar swaps. Hats off to you bro👍👍
Im a honda guy 100% these builds are freakking sweet bud. I was looking into a vr6 in my ek but guy blew up the engine up before plans were made. I really like that mk cluster . 👏👏👍🔥 this build should bring both partys together to enjoy innovation. Fuck the haters 90% cant even build a engine let alone what youve done.
Nah dude F all the haters love the projects this to me is New School hot riding at its finest how many old school Fords have you seen with a Chevy motor in them
Awesome video. The best video I have seen all time. Please tell the creator of those cars that while his cars are frankenstein builds it is amazing how he build the car from other parts. I like his laugh and honesty as a person.
This video just makes me happy. First car glx vr6 passat... memories...great ones... qhwn the coolant didn't find its way out. Funny how it did that soooo well lol still loved her.
The wu-tang, Maryland flag, center caps, are the best part of the whole Integra! And I never realized how good a mk4 cluster would look in a civic, until now!
he's figured it out you build for you not the world . it's not up to the people around you to decide what you do it's up to you build what you want and don't worry about anyone else. as long as your happy and it's safe that's all that's important. I built my own cars for decades swapping what ever engine I wanted in to what ever car or truck I owned . as long as it was cheap and fit it was fair game. this young man is going to have a bright future ahead as long as he keeps his vision about cars on track .
this is one of the greatest thing I every seen I only thing I would say is that i turbo my vw mk4 2.0 and she runs great but she still need little more love rather than that this build is crazy sick and i love it keep doing you bro
"whereas most any other engine the exhaust goes out the back." No, that's primarily VW. Honda started doing that with the K-series but most transverse engines are still set up to plumb exhaust out of the front of the engine.
I just watched a video of a Fiero GT rocking a VR6 from a GTI and wow… already an amazing sound but cut off 3/4 the length of exhaust and it sounds just plain mean. Sitting with my jaw dropped I thought I’d see if anyone committed blasphemy swapping a Vdub into a Civic. Saw the mid engine Integra video and thought to myself…even better. Sick exhaust note aside… go find a used Acura CL-S or TL-S from 2001-2003 and swap that into the Integra’s back seat and you’ll have a sick exhaust note and 300+hp with a Hondata + headers. I bought a $750 CL-S a few years ago. Previous owners gutted the cats and installed headers and OMG.. it was a rocket. Having previously owned a CL-S 15 years ago… 0-60 was 6.7 stock. My $750 beater knocked over a second off that with headers and gutted cats. Tuned in a light weight Integra mounted behind you… probably a 12 second car.
I’m impressed with the wiring, but mostly with the ability to get these registered. Living in California it’s much easier to be into classics because of our ridiculous smog inspections. I’d love to build stuff like this but I won’t if I can’t drive it on the street
I think he could have extended the wiring harness without issue. I swapped a 3.2 vr6 and DSG from a TT mk1 into my MR2 spyder and used the entire harness and cluster like he did. I extended every wire going to the front components and left the ecu in the rear. Everything works. I do like seeing there are people as crazy as I am out there!
I had a poor mans type R swapped DC integra like this is a 91 DA integra with the Non Vtec b18a1 a D series EG and a BB6 prelude with the h22 as well as a MK3 2.slow a mk4 2. Slow an mk4 1.8t Gti and currently a b5 a4 with you guessed it a 1.8t…. I love these, especially since you piss off both groups. I always wanted to take the engine out of my DC and boost it and put it in the gti this way it’s still a 1.8t, then do the opposite and take the 1.8t AWP out of my GTi and throw it in my integra and put 1.8t badges on it just to piss people off. If people get mad at these cars they clearly miss the point. For what you paid out of pocket not counting your own time and labor is incredible
How am I just now seeing this harlequin civic 😂 this is not only a good joke. Guy really went out of his way, this swap is actually pretty fucking sweet🤧🔥

This is definitely up there for me other than like a 4 rotor Wankel
Exactly. But you forgot the flat 6 at 9000rpm
love this guy, you can hear how happy it makes him in his laugh what a legend..
This is the type of guy you wanna hang around.. knowledge just spewing out of him! Amazing work
Throw in some italian parts(brembos/wheels/seats) in and you got some serious Axis powers there.
lmao that is correct
LOOOOOOL
lol! the 63 people who liked this are history buffs
This guy is dope👍🏾. Guys that can do this type of build is like being a doctor or better, to me. Two fun, dope builds.

This is one cool guy doing all this just because. I mean, I could talk cars with this guy ALL DAY. Keep up the craziness Love It👍😎
Vr6 is just an incredible engine, so smooth and loves to rev, sounds amazing, combo this with an Integra and you have made the greatest car ever imo.
"where your dreams can come true" No one dreams like this man.
