The right way to bleed the coolant system on a K is with a coolant vacuum purge and refill kit. First attach the kit to the radiator and it sucks all the air out of the system. Then 3-4 gallons of coolant in a bucket w/the vacuum refill hose in it. Turn the valve and it will suck up all the coolant from the bucket, done.
I got a 2004 ex coupe, and the head gasket just blew. Any recommendations for an engine swap? I've read that any K series would work but I'm trying to get more information. This video was super helpful, thanks to anyone that responds!
recently bought a used EM2 119k miles as my first car i plan on enjoying it as it is and doing some small upgrades (coilovers, wheels, seats, etc) but once the mileage gets to high forsure plan on k swapping and will be going to the junkyard with my buddies for some parts of the build.
I would love to have a K24Z3 with a turbo in my caged RX8 track toy. Collins happens to make an adapter but the issue would be keeping CAN conversion for the RX8 body module.
@13 HSG 13 Took me yeah half to get parts for my k-swap. 96 teg k20a2 5 speed. just got some stuff to tidy up but it runs and stuff I need a Type R Front end and I want get some ARC goods
@@divindeep you want it to be like 190 normal temps. I used a Koyo K swap radiator some ktuned hoses and I have swivel thermostat housing. I wouldn't be too concerned if it hit 205, but I would start worrying if it was getting in the 2-teens or 220. My biggest issue was bleeding the system trying to get air out took a little bit.
How to run PS and AC in EG Kswap? I have been searching top and bottom on forums, FB, personal contacts, TH-cam etc. to figure this out. I am ordering my entire parts list this week to complete my car. This is the final detail I need to work out. I want to run the DC5 AC tuck kit running with KTuned EP3 pulley. Would the hybrid racing PS conversion kit work with DC5 tuck & KTuned EP3 Pulley?
Big ass noob The civic I'm buying is an automatic I want a standard but I can't find one forsale within 400 miles of me. Is this going to be a big problem with anything? It's 1990 civic almost everything is stock rn and it has close to 300,000 miles on it I'm buying it for 200$ figured this would be a perfect way to learn a thing or too about cars low risk and low cost becuse I have 2 main vehicles anyways. Really appreciate the information in your video :)
I’m thinking about taking a integra shell and a 2015 Honda Civic si or a rsx type s and swap it in there. I want a k series engine that revs the highest. Can I use that ecu, and shifter clearance be a issue?
Jezz is really worth it ? I have a DC2 a EG6 and a Accord that swap head has a lot of fun in the Kworld but I keep mines B series having fun with big boy B20 Seems that I’d have about 10 k it would be a fun swap for sure
@@frostyflowers4207 its so hard to diag because its a different engine and harness and engine conversion harness into a 99 civic ex. ill swap my bros known good charge harness and pray it fixes it.

I recently did a k swap in my em1 . Everything worked fine until I pulled my intake mani . I put everything back together and now my rpms don’t work . Any idea ?
Why Not megasquirt the engine? Honda guys always doing the craziest mixing and matching of parts... and i feel like they always stay in the bounds of using OEM or modified oem stuff. Id rather use Holley efi or Haltech... or even megasquirt... than honda ecus
Question…. On my k-24A2 swap the engine sits low as you may know, so without even lowering the car, the cv axles are already at an angle and I feel that they might be causing some kind of vibrations or just funny business with driving characteristics. Almost every suspension component is new and 90% of the bushings are newly replaced so there is little discrepancy when filtering out what is making what vibration. The steering wheel feedback is very minimal and almost no feedback at all which odds are good thing. Is there anything that swappers do to help get the cv axles as close to 180° as possible? That’s for response in advance.
neighbor k24 swapped eg but bogs out when you rev up.any common issues you seen?its a tsx k24/kpro harness and i think hondata kpro ecu i think he said from 02-04 rsx base model. after scanning it had o2 codes/coolant temp and i think it said "communication network" as another code
Moral of the story: K swaps are overrated and aren't worth the time, effort, money and confusion for what you are getting. I slapped a supercharger on my H22A with port-matched everything and wild cams. No engine swaps for me. Work with the engine that you have, you'll be happier in the end. I went down the K-swap rabbit hole three different times, its not worth it. I'd rather live with a weak F22 motor than to do another K-swap. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY! I can't stress that enough.
I have a very stock 2017 Accord LX Automatic.. I need help 😂. I’m looking for a total engine swap, transmission the whole shabang bang bang I’m no car guru but I would get an idea where to start. I know it’s going to be pricey and will take time.
I keep hearing over and over again on the web about using parts from an RSX type S. Where in the world are you gonna find them because I believe those cars are pretty rare? Are there a lot of aftermarket parts being used or what?
So in my case I already have a fa5 but also picking up a Teggy I would love to slap on the k20z3 motor and kz3 trans would I need anything different or Can it all just be direct fit
Seems like it's really expensive..I wanted to convert my cg6 but now I'm thinking H series as parts and swap may just be cheaper ..not sure as it may now be harder to find and I want more top speed
i dont know much about engine swaps and this may be a stupid question. here it goes if i wanted to put a k24a2 into a ef 1988 civic thats carbureted not fuel injection does that complicate the wiring harness? since im removing the engine i would assume not but when it comes to wiring i have no idea if the ef civic being carbed will affect anything. please feel free to explain yourself on every lil detail. ( i have no idea what im talking about or doing i just know i have a strong urge to put a k24a2 into my lil civic :)
What if I picked up a free k24A4 and I’m planning on swapping the head doing a k20 head what trans and ecu would I use there also would you recommend me to build it ?
anyone got any good links on how much HP/WHP a k20a2 can make and still be reliable with stock internals???? I have heard different things. When i first got my car i swear i found a link saying guys were pushing 390 on stock internals. Im assuming its whp on the dyno. now i see some shit saying 320.......if 320 is the max im question if i would be better off just getting stage 2 or stage 3 cams instead of a turbo.......a supercharger would be cool but i think i would be better off building the engine first...
Doing lots and lots research before I make my final decision. I just wanted to know is the K24A JDM with the 3 Lobe 200HP good for Cali legality and is it just as difficult/easy to install
I wanna do a kswap, but I'm trying to figure out who's money to use. 🤣🤣
Best response I’ve ever heard! Lol
If I could sell this damn 98spec TypeR swap I could damn near get everything I need. Lol

you can use a PRD ecu as well
So when you're getting a transmission it has to be a manual transmission when you're k swapping?? Cause my car is an automatic.
Great information great video 👌🏽

Me gusto mucho tu informacion esta muy completa 👌
Cant you use a aftermarket ecu
I noticed you didnt mention the TSX 6 Speed ASU5 Transmission
this might be stupid but can you do a k swap with an automatic transmission?
very informative video but can you tell how much would be the swap the cheap way?
I can go get a full running accord with a 5 speed running k24a for $600😮 it don’t have a title but I’m thinking about throwing it in a 92!!??
Where can I find that dc2 integra picture... I want it as a screensaver
My k24 doesn't start , it has KTune harness , Kpro ECU all connected but not wants start , what you recomment ? My car its an Accord 96
If I’m using a K20A6 Engine is it okay to use PRC 013 ECU without immobilizer?
