My jaw is on the floor. This is nuts, I love K swaps and love Actys. I gotta see this come to fruition and see what it involves. If it’s good, this is gonna be the move for my Acty one day.
Thanks bud. Looking forward to it. May need your expertise for streamlining wiring pinouts when I'm done. You did such a great job on my tachometer pinout.
I'm doing a k swap on my Subaru sambar. I already got the engine and trans out and sold. I'm at college ATM so now need to find time to buy an Acura TSX full car to do the swap.
@@rhd_ron yea someone had already done the k20 swap on Honda kei truck already. Saw it on face book. The only difference is my sambar dosnt have leaf springs and the engine was originally in the rear.
@RHD_Ron, where can I find a decent priced K20 or K24 in South or Central Florida? I feel like there is nothing available, despite everyone on TH-cam saying they’re abundant and affordable. Thanks
Hey Mike! Thanks for the comment. I bought these engines in GA from an individual. I've bought from a company called SunshineStateJDM in FL for low mileage engines in the past. They have a webpage and sell on eBay too. May want to check them out.👍
@@chrismartin1506 Gosh I know. I’ve got all sorts of engines, transmissions, ECU, mounts, all laying around. Just can’t make the time to work on it. It will happen eventually. LOL
Seriously, I think someone needs to do a deep dive on what newer acty parts can fit on the ha3 and ha4. Rear suspension is crazy on these acty and since they are both cv half shaft and leafs it's hard to lower without destroying ride.
@@rhd_ron ive been daydreaming about doing this swap for years now. Personally id try and use some sort of self contained assembly like in some ford focus.
Eh, had to buy both engines as the guy wouldn't break up the set. I sold the K20 to a friend. So, building the K24 with an OEM refresh. 220+ whp will be plenty in the aKty! LOL
These Beats, if they even had a D series would be wild. Once this Akty Truck Kswap is done, we will have to see if the Beat is capable of holding a K20.😍
Thanks for checking with me. Right now, I plan to keep this engine as a spare for my other Truck and Van. If anything changes I will let you know. Thanks for viewing.
Thanks a lot Ron yeah that made me feel a lot better to hear that it’s just a valve I’m getting to his pull out tomorrow and see what the guy tells me God bless you brother
Hey I like your videos man I just tuned into your channel and I’m new to it can you please let me know I have the same exact vehicle right now 1994 Honda A the truck mine‘s a four-wheel-drive five-speed I recently bought the truck and a month later the truck died out on me my brother told me with the tow strap and I try to jumpstart the truck one time next thing you know nothing happened I took it down to the shop they said that the timing belt was shredded and it has oil inside the distributor cap I went ahead and had them replace all that now the truck it’s park but it showing zero compression in the cylinder heads he’s thinking that the cylinder is no good the head I mean or the block is bad do you have any idea what this could be zero compression in the heads replace timing belt and distributor spark plugs the whole shebang if you have any info let me know ASAP Mahalo🤙🏼
Sorry to hear about all that! It sounds like you might have a bent valve that is not re-seating as it should. This could have leak by when trying to do a compression test. That is a common issue with interference engines with the timing belt breaks. So, unfortunately, you may need some internal engine work. I hope that’s not the case but all signs mentioned above point to that….

Yessir. Stay tuned. Going to be quite the build. Can’t wait myself…..
I definitely gotta stop by and check this build out in person 🔥
Yeah buddy, depends on when you roll through as to what stage we will be in.
Either way, c’mon by.
Insane. Can't wait to see this project! Id love to do this myself 😂
Thanks bud. Looking forward to it. May need your expertise for streamlining wiring pinouts when I'm done. You did such a great job on my tachometer pinout.
@@rhd_ron glad to hear! I'm no expert but I know my way around Adobe illustrator so message me if you ever need some Acty stuff drawn up!
you are the man!!!
Ha! Long way to go but we’ve at least invested in many engines. Lol.
I'm doing a k swap on my Subaru sambar. I already got the engine and trans out and sold. I'm at college ATM so now need to find time to buy an Acura TSX full car to do the swap.
Very nice. K24 is my engine of choice for this build. Gathering parts as we speak....
@@rhd_ron yea someone had already done the k20 swap on Honda kei truck already. Saw it on face book. The only difference is my sambar dosnt have leaf springs and the engine was originally in the rear.
Dope I can’t wait to see this
Thanks bud! Me too. Hang in there. It’s gonna be a wild ride. Can’t wait to pull up on someone at the light! Muahahaha
Oh
My
Word
I never thought I’d see the day!!!
I warned, now we are rolling. Wheels in motion.
any updates on this project ? thanks !

It’s happening 😍
The road is long but it’s starting to get travelled. Lol
Should I message MM. would love to see what the price if one of these swaps would be on one from Japan to y’all
Yes, give Minny a shout! Thanks.
I did but said you weren’t finished. I CANNOT wait till you get this understood/installed. 200ho in a Acty would be too much fun
@@chrismartin1506 Gosh I know. I’ve got all sorts of engines, transmissions, ECU, mounts, all laying around. Just can’t make the time to work on it. It will happen eventually. LOL
A friend has a Honda Beat with a junked engine that’s not rebuildable, he’s thinking of either a B16 or k20 swap
Is he in Atlanta? I talked with someone in Atlanta with a blown Engine in a Beat recently.
@@rhd_ron nope he’s in the great white north/Canada
k20 all day!
I don't know, I'm liking this 2.4 liters of fury option......lol
I'm following this build
Oh yeah. Hang in there. Its going to be wild! Gathering parts to build the engine now.😈
Dope i can’t how you do it i need to get mine bswap
Maybe this will shed some light on the B Series swap too.👍
Any update on this?
Nothing yet, it’ll be a series of videos when it lands!
Can't wait my friend!!
@@BigAl22 me either, life has been busy busy

I agree, I'd love to go to coil over strut and get rid of these leaf springs but what a chore that would be. Maybe one day....
@@rhd_ron ive been daydreaming about doing this swap for years now. Personally id try and use some sort of self contained assembly like in some ford focus.
Why didnt you do the k20/k24 hybrid? Is it because of the additional work required for the k24a2 block or what?
Eh, had to buy both engines as the guy wouldn't break up the set. I sold the K20 to a friend. So, building the K24 with an OEM refresh. 220+ whp will be plenty in the aKty! LOL
What size were the VX wheels?
13”.
Wheres the update??
Sadly, there are none. Been crazy busy, still slowly accumulating parts. Thanks for
Hanging in there.
If you can find a way to fit a K series, D series, or B series in a Honda Beat, you can take all of my
Money
These Beats, if they even had a D series would be wild. Once this Akty Truck Kswap is done, we will have to see if the Beat is capable of holding a K20.😍
If you have a motor for the truck I would like to buy it ASAP

Bro this is what I wanted to see. I thought a rotary swap would be amazing but k swap way more reliable and just as fun
Ks are my specialty too. If we can get this puppy fitted, its all down hill from there. Going to be a blast.
@@rhd_ron I would love to do this. Especially since I daily my acty 40 miles a day
Hoonigan did a rotary swap awhile ago.
@RHD_Ron
Any updates?
Not at this time. Id like to build a little content up so I can release steady weekly
Videos. Its been busy!😀
@@rhd_ron Completely understand that. Keeping my eyes glued to your channel for updates.
@@darryllfisher6203 Thanks Darryll!
I’m gonna put a Bugatti engine in my kei van
Very nice! Sounds expensive though!
