I'm in Toowoomba QLD, I'll be doing this to my EK too. I'm thinking a JDM EP3 Type-R k20a straight swap might be easier though, rather than screwing around with frank heads n' block. I dunno...
Waiting for episode two made 2 weeks seem like the longest 2 weeks ever. I'm glad that Honda's are getting a better reputation on TH-cam. I couldnt go a drive a mile without some one calling my integra a ricer
I’m not into racing at all, but absolutely love my stock 2014 civic. I do all my own maintenance and it’s SO easy to work on. Reliable, eco friendly, and comfortable. Honda forever for me 😊
@@leanbeeffatty1 People are just mad that Honda’s and Japanese cars are more reliable and better quality than whatever car they have. My family won’t buy anything that isn’t Japanese. Only Honda, Toyota, and Subaru for us. We have one of each in the garage. A Civic, Legacy, and 4Runner.
Gears and Gasoline is literally the best editing and video production on TH-cam period. I'm amazed by the effort and attention to detail in each episode.
Watching this years later, it really feels like Andy is an old friend. I've since been watching all of his progress on his projects, he's been in so many of your videos, and has hands in so many amazing projects. Andy, you're a solid dude!
I love cars, but I don't know much about mechanics, parts, engines or stuff like that. I'll probably never do any of those things they do on this channel... I'm really just an amateur, but man I absolutely love this channel and these mechanics videos, the quality is just off this planet! Unlike a lot of other channels who keeps it really hyped up and almost childish, more vlog style, there's so much professionalism and a peaceful aspect to it. We can actually see how much they work on the car inside and out. Doesn't matter if it's the Civic, Forester, Evo or Miata, I enjoy every seconds of it! The detailing ones and roadtrips are amazing as well... Keep up the great works guys! I wish you tons of subscribers!
You can't beat the power of a large naturally aspirated engine and its large displacement. The connection between the driver and the throttle is immediate and the harmonics are amazing. Running on its own power.
I just finished three days of tearing down and rebuilding the axles on my Landcruiser. Glad to finally sit down and enjoy watching someone else doing the work.
Don't let the comments/hate mail stop you from doing what you do.. I think it looks awesome. Great work so far and the fact that you got such a clean finish on the rattle can paint job is remarkable! Good JOB!!!
I like you bring up the concept of "area under the curve." I teach HS math and the students frequently tell me they will never use this information, but I always see them watching youtube videos on cars. I am going to make sure to bring this up as a real-life example of understanding graphs. Your videos are awesome and I always learn something, thank you.
As a 28 year old engineer I only watch TH-cam these days since tv... Well sucks. But this channel and especially this series is so entertaining to watch for me. Thanks and greetings from Germany!
Honestly, the way you present this video, not sacrificing quality over quantity (like tons of episode randomly thrown in), is very unique and fun to watch. Keep it up man, I rarely binge watch on engine swap but definitely don’t mind watching yours 👌
I have a K20/K24 Frankenstein engine that I bought with a 06 SI and boy let me tell you! I love my baby! Had an issue with finding the water pump replacement as it’s a JDM so the American pieces weren’t fitting so I brought it to a Acura/Honda guy that builds race cars and he changed the housing to an American Accord and it works perfectly. Everyone who gets behind my car says it’s fun and fast though it’s not as fast as my racing team who have B engines and turbos. Getting a hatch by next summer and have my mechanic build it to 600hp for a night car
My jaw dropped when I saw Ronnie with the prepped K20Z3 head. I've been patiently working on my build and saving up to finally get to RS motors for a tune from a legendary tuner and owner. Seeing him help your build makes me incredibly jealous! I know you're definitely throwing in $$$ if 2 well-known time attackers are building your motor!
5:42 THANK YOU!! I know people who tries to get a same tune for their car by just copying it like you can have 3 k20's but all of them will be running differently, spend the money and get the car tuned to it's specs!
Seriously who gives this a thumbs down? WTH?!? Someone invested so much time to make this video and it’s so well done and they come as overlords and give a thumbs down
@@alexander1485 yep. Remote mount gives a bit more delay, but still works. A centrifugal supercharger would probably be more useful on that engine for track use, though.
K24 bottom end with a Z3 head is brilliant. The Z3 head is an excellant casting and in my opinion when it comes to K series is absolutely the best head available. Our testing showed it even out fload the k20a2 head by a significant amount of cfm
Just gonna slide this piece of advice in here for the unobservant - All this is NOT necessary for you to kswap your car. Unless you are sponsored like most youtubers, going this route your car is gonna be sitting on jackstands for a long time till I buy the shell off you. 99.99% of those Ktuned/carquest parts are not necessary. Good luck with your build.
Dream build for most of us Honda guys. In the road trip videos I remember him saying he don't know if he will keep the car. I think that decision has been made now.
Man I'm loving this series. I got drawn to this channel due to the nostalgia of the 90s honda. Ended up getting one again to relive my youth at the tracks in so cal. Keep up the great work!
I used to want to do something to my 2006 Accord. For now, I'll just appreciate it's reliability until it dies. Then, I'll look into something a bit more fun. Glad I didn't waste money trying to do something half-assed. This build is proper!
I like ASM garage a looot: clean, light and full of handy tools. And owner attitude is so positive. Looks like dream job. Thank you for your content. Went through k24 swap of EG year ago, and your video is so refreshing for me :)
PremierPerformance but if it was all about price then, wouldn’t an LS1 swap be a better and cheaper alternative? Plus you wouldn’t need any RWD conversion kits.
K series engines can make a bit more torque. Peak power is similar. K engines are a fraction of the price with a lot more support as they were offered in MANY other cars. We didn’t just swap K’s into S2000’s for fun. We did our homework.
andysmede that makes sense. I’ve seen some crazy S2000 engine builds so I was wondering what reason other than price was really at play there. If you can get better power out of a K with the same parts for cheaper then that really makes it the better option.
Very nice attention to detail, I like how you cleaned the entire engine bay and painted it. Also agree with the cams, I've been out of the Honda business for 15 years, but power under the curve is always more useful.
Good day ser...i really like watching ur video ser.i am A filipino,living here in japan.i really like Honda cars,i miss fixing a honda engine’s,im proud to be a part of honda car Philippines since 1996-97...
I'm really impressed how much your channel have grown. I've subscribed to you, when you were under 50k subscribers. Now, you have over 600k, and it's well deserved. Keep on the good work!
Huge props to Andy! I don’t know how he does it. I love working on cars and it’s definitely my passion and i wish i can open up my own garage too. But my body just can’t handle it anymore. And I’m only 27. Lol.
I absolutely love the direction this channel is heading., and appreciate all the work and attention to detail that does into these series! Full speed ahead Gears and Gas!
Very very good video, man ^^ I really liked how both of you explained the same thing but at a different pace, with different shots. The Classical-style music and the engine freshly opened gave me goosebumps hahaha
Great video! Share the cost!!!!!! Engine swap is the hot ticket right now and putting it into perspective for everyone on the cost would be awesome and appreciated!!!
Another thing about the more aggressive cams is they’re harder on timing chain and tensioner. You made a good choice going with the less aggressive cams. We lost lots of engines running the big cam from timing chain/tensioner failures.
Alot of people have given me "guff" about it but, I wanna put a K24 in my 1994 Ford Ranger! And yes, It will be going on the Track, but also be a Daily Driver... Build is coming together very nicely! Take care, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State

14:56 assuming that pattern on the rotor is from overheating and showing internal vanes?
Yup, after only one track day on those rotors. Clearly not enough braking power for me.

Super not ideal, but when you're sponsored by them...
I would at least have a oem Honda water pump for reliability
This comment fits in with mine about the owner being arrogant af & fitting cheap parts..
Thank god im not the only who picks up on wannabe vibes
I sell car parts for a living. Many times name brand, even OEM parts are sourced to fill these boxes. So might not be to bad?

What part number on Amazon were those bolts, need to know! Thanks!
Following for the same reason
F
Just search the thread pitch. But those bolts have a serrated flange on the head. They dig in and chew up the surface
Not a honda guy but these videos are great production and enjoyful to watch for any gear head. Great job!
how did you order your new bolts? did you organize and measure all of them and then ordered one by one, or is there a kit specific for the car?
Yes
So Hyped for this Civic😁👌🏻😎

Much cheaper
