Much easier to disconnect the lower balljoints, pull the axles out of the trans and drop the subframe. Leave the struts, brakes and axles still in the chassis
Good one guys! Can't get over the fact that while I watch you work on X car, I get to see some of your others cars in the background. Such a cool background, damn it! Love the shop, love all the projects, keep it up guys!
the rsx hood latches are known to rip out, the middle frame is made of really thin metal, they are known to crack and rip out boom the result here, hood pins are required.
Great ep guys. I would expand on this and say to look for a stock, or nearly stock donor. My son picked up a k20 swapped integra for our Fiero k-swap build. It was a mess. Stripped threads, missing bolts, hacked wiring etc. Never again. It is nice to have everything in one place. the little things (nuts, bolts, clips etc add up quick on a swap).
This channel needs way more views and subscriptions!! Glad I found you guys.
Love saving the money by doing the work! Don't have to worry about them half-assing pulling the swap!
Note to Self: Steps Not to forget - Remove Radiator, ABS Sensors, Drain Transmission.
Other than that, this should be flawless!! thumbs up and subscribed!
This isn't a base model k20a3 to all you dummies saying it is. The intake manifold is simply covered in dirt. It isn't plastic. You can even see the oil cap calls for 5w30. The base mode k20 uses 5w20.
It's a k20a2 from a 02-04 rsx type s.
This man's on track with the Honda boi knowledge😎
I just spent three hours trying to find someone, anyone dropping a Honda drivetrain assembly the quick way! I was starting to think it was something odd about Hondas. With a little bit of practice, you'll be able to do that in less than two hours. To change an engine in a fwd vehicle, it's usually twice as fast as playing with all the quirky mounts, separating the transmission, shared brackets, clutch or converter bolts blah blah blah. What you can do warp speed zipping around the motor sitting on your Snap On wheeled short stool. Bolts and mounts on the subframe are at perfect working height without space constraints to knock it out with airgun and ratcheting wrenches. Literally 20 minutes or less to pull the motor off the sub in the open. I really want to thank you guys. I've got really bad knees and separating everything in the car is awful for me.
Pull the calipers and wheel speed sensors, bungee them in the wheelwells. Pull the radiator and condenser anyway, always leaves and bugs in between them anyway. Don't have to worry about swinging the motor into it. Thank again guys.
Is there a way to give 2 thumbs up? You guys do a great job including what we want to see and no time wasters!
I used to take the engine out of my old Mini like this. It was so much easier than trying to lift it out the top - and even the rad came out with the subframe! If I remember correctly (it's been many years now), I just had to disconnect the throttle, headers, brake lines, clutch line and one wire to the distributor - then unbolt the subframe and the gearshift remote.
K Swap the world ❤️
Forget the pickle forks when pulling tie rod ends. Take two BFH's hold one up against the back of the steering arm. Then with the other one, give the steering arm a good hit ( on the front side where the tie rod end goes thru it ) . That pops them loose, no damage to the boot or the arm. And usually works better then the pickle fork too!
Yeah. I was taught to "hit where it goes through"...and it seems to work a treat, without extraneous damage. :-)
Yup even just one hammer but leave the nut on loose incase you miss you won't damage the threads lol
Yep one hammer works. The second one just transmit more of the force into the steering arm. With a single hammer you might need to hit it a couple extra times.
So you guys are officially changing the name to K-Swap Academy, right? I dig it.
That's why a K Swap is so expensive , labor costs to remove everything by part. . But this is an excellent idea for any type of swap. Thanks video!
Don’t let the secrets out I’m gonna need a few spare K20 for when they break....
11:20 That's all I want right now is everything that's on that dolly lol.
Have you seen that BoostedBoiz is swaping a K24 into a STI with AWD...
Yep
Unfortunately yeah I did see that
Good, it's a better engine
sneeky7 you have something that EJ25s never have. Reliability and revs
A well sized turbo will fix that issue
Best part of this vid....the 'wheel' on Connie. Niiiiiice.
Pete’s gonna get an email from Harvard after that engineering genius!!
You guys are so lucky in the USA. We can't even get the shell body for that money in S.A
Interesting, the ECU is a Keihin, same make as the carbs on my gen 2 Civic :)
James Basoo Keihin has been a longtime OEM supplier to Honda. They make carbs and a lot of other electronics for Honda vehicles. Think of them like Toyota to Denso.
denso supplies sensors and ignition components to honda as well
Gabriel Lundrigan pretty sure my starter's a Denso
Man id love to find one of these on the East coast for my em2, i hope you still have it id buy the whole car.
The hood latch was cut out and removed so the aftermarket hood would fit, then the hood pins became necessary and their the only thing keeping the hood shut
I put the nut partially on the tie rod thread and tap with a hammer.
actually if you live in ontario and you have time to kill go to kenny-u-pull every week end for a couple weeks and you will eventually find one you pull it out of the car you’re self and 145$ later your good to go
Wheels look great on the Celica in the background..
I SEEN THIS GUY AND HIS CAR!
i guess i missed out on a k swap
2:20 I think you mean... Compressive?
YEEEEEAAAAAAHHH
Turning the drain plug wrong way, Thinking left, in the sense of by front facing hand turn directional rotation, but with a wrench, and above head, its push to pull, or flipped opposite, so push away, is left, and pull towards you, is right, which is what you where doing.. LOL.. Its almost a regular common mishap with everyone that works on cars, regardless of how long been working on them. I still do it once in a while, and ive built plenty of cars. and over 20 years wrenching LOL!!!! Welcome to "DOH"!!! hahah
12:25 lol , good to see the pros doing that too,..
You guys are outstanding...thanks for your all the advices
I been asking if your going to make 240 k swap parts
PROPS TO PT FOR THE SICK DOLLY AND JACK ENGINE CATCH
6:10 I like the flares on the celica, wheels a good choice too
You should do a 2nd gen civic D15B7 swap I cant find anything about someone swapping a d series in a old 2nd Gen civic it's always K or B series
That’s a lot if you think about it. U can buy a rsx driving for 1000 and a smashed one for 500 and then take it all apart I got a auto rsx for 400$ just saying it can be even cheaper and u can. Make all your money back from parting the car
7:51 Don't use a torque wrench to loosen bolts.
I'm pretty sure it's one of those extendable ratchets from harbor freight.
I see this a lot on TH-cam. I don't think they've read the destruction manual...
I want to drop a k24 in a Pontiac fiero😂😂okay so I need to know what transmission you would recommend i use, I would like it to be manual.
Use the 6spd RSX Type S one
*pretends to be working on a car* "Oh hi I didn't see you there. Since you happened to be filming, let me tell you about the car work I'm starting!"
suggestion: lower engine with engine crane onto trolley, then lift car with engine crane. the jacks thing was sketchy
This is exactly how i am looking into doing a swap.
That drain plug was put on with moose spec!
I was helping my friend change oil on a k24, dude who ever put the oil filter on did it with a (I’m joking) a welder... we could not get it off and I didn’t want to stick a screw driver in it
About a deal and a quarter if you're going by the exchange rate with USD right now.
Might as well do a frank swap and use that head on the k24. Will be a beast and easy to do on the k24a2
You guys should just grab a ep3 steering rack, no fluid all electric bout 300.
Brady Warren tell me more about this swap
I would like to know as well
Same, I need that honda boi knowledge
Take this K20 and build its internals ready for boost so when the one in the 240 dies, this one goes in boosted
such an ingenious way of doing it
Dont forget the shifter and cables. Unless it wasn't included in the sale
Easy buy a wrecked Honda civic or Honda accord or a Acura Rsx that doesn't have front end collision and there you have it a cheap k swap like theirs on the channel
This is great and all but honestly I just want to see you guys work on the Celica...
You were turning the drain plug the wrong way
i noticed that also lol
You noticed that too Eh.
patrick vincenti actually he was turning it the correct way
No hes going the right way
damn the celica looks so sexy in the background. Really looking forward to future vids on it. those wheels are porn!
It happen to me, with a crx next to a 18 wheeler, in the HW the air came from bottom to top and blew the hood
My RSX had the hood latch get stuck, couldn't get the hood open. Switched to hood pins after and luckily didn't have a hood fly open on me. If that RSX was blue I would have been wondering if you guys got my old car!
Dude you got ripped. That whole car is worth $500... If that. That dudes ganna make a killin off that part out with you guys paying those prices 😂
Nice work wheels on the celica!!
Great content guys!
That head on a K24 and straight into the s2k folks! :D
Why arnt people swappin in the new K20Cs yet? 300+hp stock and great fuel economy.
Shabuti R18 It cost more and you can make more power with a k20/k24 and it’s cheaper
No real 3 lobe vtec on both cams on those new k20Cs. But I see your point with the stock vs stock comparison.
I wanna see the video of what's going on with those flares on Connie... 👀 👀 👀
RSX’s are know for the hood flying up. So it’s probably the second time it happened lol.
Almost Legit Garage I’ve seen this twice on TH-cam and both cars were from up north. Possibly rust, The latch just rips out. I had my hood fly open at 65 mph at night in a ford probe on a one way road. Scary stuff
Never heard of hoods flying up after 8 years in the community
Aret Han Z. I've only seen it happen at high speed, usually in drag Racing
Thought you wanted the cabin harness to?
Out of curiosity, do you guys call each other DP and PT all the time? Or just on camera?
If a K seies doesn't have good comp after 140k miles or so, you might have wanted to buy an older Toyota
Common problems on the Dc5, I got bought mine rsx with the same problem for 1,000 with only 130k lol
Would someone tell me why when he tilted the transaxle, (BTW ITS A TRANSAXLE!!) why did it leak atf/MTF? I thought there were seals where the cv axles go. i've never dealt with them ever leak but i've never tilted one either haha
This was a cool video!
How about the wiring harness??
What is the procedure to swap a k24a2 to rsx base
put that K20 in a Honda Civic EM2 !
Welshy em2's are ugly pop it in an em1
XplosiveFuZioNHD they already did an EM1...
Fuck that, ej1
What kinda impact gun was that? None of mine can tackle a subframe bolt :(
What is the tire brand model on the front two?
Looks like telehandler tires.
would the k20 have fit the 240 better then the 24 as far as hood clearance/frame spacers?
damn was expecting a RSX race car
K swaps are the ls swaps of imports
IHelp i have a k20z3 engine giin into an ek hatch but still havent found a trans.. my question is can a k20a2 trans bolt up to my k20z3 engine ??
I think the drain plug was the wrong way if u were pulling lol
I thought so too, so I played it back a couple of times...and nope, he was pushing after all. I probably need new glasses. :-P
a friend of a friend of mine got her RSX rear ended. she going to sell me the car for $650usd
The wheel on Connie tho :O
I need the passenger side fender lol
Is that a crappy tire motomaster oil filter?
Can this be done with a 7th gen accord k20? Need a swap for my ep2 d16
Weird how the whole latch tore out.
is that a k20a2 or the k20a3 thats in the RSX/EP3
u sed u dividend a whole stacc not 8notes... y ?
What year is the vehicle
I have a question for you guys at speed academy. I have a e92m3 but I do have an s2000 that is payed off as well. Should I sell the M3 and turn the s2000 into a track car and buy a Honda Fit as a DD. Or should I keep the m3 and keep just doing autocross?
Scav68 both are moving up in value, but S2000s are going up faster, if you dont go the track car route, what will you DD
7:54 harbor freight in canada?
Can I buy the transmission
Best way to get a stuck as shit oil drain bolt off if you don't have a impact gun.... put a jack under your ratchet and jack the ratchet up turning the bolt loose! For all us poor mechanics lmao😂 but forreal the reason they do the bolts so tight is when you take it to a shop they put it really tight so you can t so it at home and it's some bullshit
If only my base auto was just a base manual
could've been free if you parted car parts out
Glad I ran across you guys !
Hey I've got a 1983 Toyota Corolla Wagon with a 1.6 ebgine and it has a 3 speed automatic transmission ...
I'm wanting to do a swap on the 1.6 and get a 22R...
My queston is will the transmission I have bolt up to the 22R engine ?
Any info would be great...
Thanks...
Ronnie Sellers no you would need at the least an R series engine bellhousing. I'm not positive if your automatic transmission has a removable bellhousing though..
Also fitting the 22r into the engine bay will take some special mounts at the least the 2 engines are not from the same engine series. Being a 1.6 my guess is its a 4a engine.
You don't want to keep that automatic anyways just do a 5-speed swap they are very simple in that car all the provisions are already there it literally is just a Bolt in deal
Honestly your better option for a swap would probably be a 4age swap. 22r is nothing special at all.. I have 2 1981 Celicas with a 22r
FZT Motorsport Plus i think the 5spd would be cheaper at this point, more support for it nowadays
Why does your man sound like Ryan Reynolds lmaooo
Found a tsx for $500, even better!
8th
Edit... More celica plz
is a non type s rsx has vtec?
Why not to remove the engine front the top?
pavel1809 he needed it all anyways
Connie lookin good ;)
