- K23/K20 Turbo Frankenstein Meets Budget EG Civic
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
This is a long time in the making. Finally we choose the car that our K23 turbo head and K20A3 bottom end engine will go into. It is Budget EG. For those that are new to the channel, Budget EG started off with the lowest cost K swap we could do and has grown from there. In this episode we pull the old K24 from our Civic to make way for the boosted hybrid power plant.

I'm glad you guys decided on dropping this swap into the EG and I'm really looking forward to how it turns out.
It’s the next evolution in the Budget EG journey.
This is so good, that center feed adapter could also be good for RWD applications too.
I am happy to see this project swap is back on the channel! I almost thought this was forgotten haha
That center feed adapter looks amazing! Fantastic work
It could be a great piece and option for people. Hopefully it works!
I need one for a rwd project
@@VTECAcademy :Not being one of them people: CAN'T WAIT TO ORDER ONE! Hasport occupies half my K24 Insight engine bay already!
Thank you so much for using RDX head and giving ideas I suggested this a while ago big fan of the channel keep up the great work
Cars gonna be a beast when its up and going! Nice work as always guys
If it works, a K24 bottom end would be next. 🤞🏽
@@VTECAcademy I would think a K24A2 bottom end with the beefy RDX rods (if they fit), RSX-S oil pump, and K23 head would make a great OEM turbo K24 setup. Should make good power with good response and be very reliable as long as it's built right and tuned conservatively 😃
Can't wait for the next video! This is ny favorite combo/build so far
That center feed adapter 🤤🤤🤤
Could be cool. 🤷🏽♂️
@@VTECAcademy why k23 head vs putting the manifold/injectors/etc on a k20z3
@@himynameiztony cheaper this way
@@Fb6.Nan0 ah, so if you have an 8th gen probably just use the head/block you already have...🤔?
@@himynameiztony well I guess you could, I more went to say it’s a cheaper oem easier way to go turbo. I think you could get this head and turbo setup for less than a z3 motor but if you got it already then have at it
Looking forward to seeing this project hit the pavement!
Can’t wait to see how this turns out!
A.Ds the man! Got my del sol b20v on the road!
Thanks my man
Awesome! He knows his way around a Honda for sure.
I can’t wait to see it run too
Yes we need that center feed adapter!! I need 2
Good work on that prototype center piece product I like it
Brian aka Honda Yoda.
We were thinking more like Obi-Wan on account of the hair. Also, wayyyy taller. 😂
Wow sign me up when u get them in production. Definitely would look nice on this spare prb
I need to see this running
Us too!!
Thank you guys for keeping this engine combination going! Hopefully you can fab a 3.5" DP for your application to help the turbo. Stock WG spring is roughly 7lbs... you can use a TurboSmart IG75 WG with custom bracket (I make them) for more spring pressure. RDX guys use same side (driver side FMIC) but maybe you don't have the space on this chassis? The K24 manifold should suit the turbo RPM range good, I thought cutting the RDX Plentem and flipping it could also be done for bottom feed center mount and it will suit the turbo RPM perfectly. The K24z7 manifold would be the best OEM option for power in the turbos RPM range from my research for RDX chassis application, Most RDX FMIC guys go RBC when they are still stuck with a 7k redline because of the transmision. The RSP with your CNC plate would be amazing but they are impossible to get.
ready to learn
Thanks for joining us!
Amazing content guys, curious to know about engine management for this one. What up AD!
Thank you!!!
Keeping Honda dreams alive
Trying! Thanks for watching!
Ad is the man!
I Love that you’re back on this motor. This is what I truly want for my ED9 CRX. I’ve only found the K23 in automatic, does that matter when I have full engine, transmission, shift cables, wire harness from a 2008 manual Accord (A8) & 2005 ECU that I can pick apart to mate to it? And which mounts would I use if I were to use the A8 then eventually do K23, would they be the same mounts?
support your channel
Heck yeah!!!
Going to be a ripper!
Hope so!
Give us more k23! We need it now!
K24A'(2)s or hybrids need a lot of exhaust flow to make 200WHP+ NA. I had to weld in a 3 inch collector and custom build the header to break 200, You can try the PRC intake manifold it's usually good for about 15 up top but you will loose some down low unless you have a very good tuner that can dial in the VTC advance.
Can't wait until I can upgrade from my 09 DX-G R18
Nice
6:57 lmao
Got ‘em!!!
Hold up hold up: did I just experience the Macho Man Randy Savage OoOoh YEE-UH followed in quick succession by the Kip Yusss???? Guys this channel was already amazing but now…I don’t know if I can handle the awesomeness 😎💥
Hell yeah
Thanks for watching! We hope it rips.
Hype hype!!
It’s gonna be. (Hopefully)
Loved the EG it’s worth a read on the South African Honda ballade 180e made by Mercedes Benz and the very rare Honda ballade AMG
I'd love to see the South African only AMG Ballade. I wonder how many are still on the road.
I'm interested in if the K23 turbo and manifold can be used on other K series heads.
"In da bin"
🤣
Love us some MCM!
Is there a hard date for wrapping this one up?
loving the vids! who edits them? sorry if this has been answered before im new.
Aaron. He has the red Civic Si in the Falken Tire Super Saloon Shootout.
Any updates on the L15b7 integra??
What transmission are you using for that setup
How to mod my base rsx auto harness for a manual swap
Did the centerfeed adapter ever make it to production? If not would it be possible to acquire the cad files or purchase the prototype pieces.
Not yet.
What engine is that intake manifold from
Ever thought of putting a r18 or k20c2 in to a eg/ek platform
Not once. They may be good as replacements but not for performance, especially for the cost.
I really love your videos all are interesting, but it misses continuity and we are always waiting the next episode but never shows up :(
Can I use a K20 type S block from the RSX, and use the 5AT from the TSX and then the K23 head? Or just use the TSX block and 5AT with the K23 head. This would fit in a Del Sol?
I think you'd be better off using a K24 block. I used the K20 block because I had one sitting around. All my K24s were complete with TSX heads.
@@VTECAcademy again, I really do appreciate the quick responses to my questions over the last 2 days sir.
how about this head/turbo /intercooler swap onto the K24A8 in my Element?
It would bolt up, but you’d have to check the head clearance.
The turbo would likely interfere with steering rack. They already tested the rsx, which has the same steering rack location as the element.
Rotate the tb plate 180 and you should have more clearance
Did that eg have the converter on it still lol
Marty scared me when he popped outta nowhere
Just making sure you are awake! 😝
👏👏👏
🤙🏽🤙🏽 thanks for the watching!
@@VTECAcademy thank you for the awesome content!!! We're getting schooled!!! 😁
I want that plate lol
I have a question..
Does a k20 or k24 fit in a 1996 Mitsubishi eclipse without gapping the hood?
I haven't done that swap, but it should.
@@VTECAcademy
Thank you! I’m just askin but when I do this swap can you all make me some motor mounts for it ? And if you can what would it cost me?
What kind of axul should I use for a Civic 1997 swap k24a4
That depends on the intermediate shaft. Hasport, Driveshaft Shop and Insane Shafts all make axles for those cars.
I would like to see a k swap in a 1999 era Prelude
Could theoretically a similar Frankenstein be performed with say the J30AC heads and turbo on a J35Y6 for a turbo Ridgeline/Pilot/Passport? Honda Raptor anyone?
Possibly. I don’t have one of those engines yet, but am looking.
The first thing I would do to figure that out is buy a head gasket from each of those engines and compare them.
Can a K24V7 be swapped as "normally" as a K24A2? Looks different but maybe you guys know.
No, it’s different with the direct injection. For that effort might as well go with a turbo engine instead and make better power.
@VTEC Academy yeah you're right. Would it be a bad move to remove the a2 head for a z7 head? I'm trying to fit this in a crx while maintaining ac. I think the collector is easier for turbo, win for space and simplicity? Or is that head a total loss.
The k24v7 was not a great motor, it was the economy version of the ILX. The k27z7 on the other hand was the crv/si/ilx 6 speed motor. Great choice to build
@Samuel Wurgler My CRX weighs about 1200 lbs and is an 88 hf. I just figured the z7 head would allow for turbo because it has that collector style exhaust port taking less space. The A2 manifolds are a bit bulky. Thanks for the info. It was much appreciated.
@@astutenomad2879 you might have accidentally typed “v7” instead of “z7” at first. That might be what confused me lol
This head work on a jdm k24a block too?
Yup, we just had a K20A3 block easily available. If it works, the K24 will be next.
crazy i got my k24a2 from ad 😂
Honda needs to hire you as their GM
Super curious what intake manifold that is from?
RSX type S
Hi. I am Chris from Coverado, an online store that sells seat covers. Is there any chance to work with you? Thank you!
I wanna drop this in a tsx
Egs are so hard to find now
What turbo exhaust manifold is that?
OEM K23
@@VTECAcademy ahh right ok. I see you talk about having the throttle body on the centre of the inlet manifold to help with pipe routing. I know it's not the same but my UK Honda Civic 2.2 iCTDi diesel has the turbo intercooler in front of the left hand wheel arch ducted from the front bumper. The turbo is mounted at the rear of the engine and the charge piping runs underneath the gearbox. The layout is as per K series with the inlet manifold at the front of the motor and the exhaust manifold to the rear.
what's gonna happen with the j35 swap we all voted for?
It gonna happen
K24 bottom with a TSX head classifies as a Frankenstein? You mean K20/K24
#CrimpinAintEasy
You know!!
put tsx 2009+ pistons on the motor you removed....
Maybe, we’ll see what it does in the new setup.
just here to make a comment on the $uicideboyz hoodie
Whats a k23?
Rdx motor
Next: swap to the tsx head
1:43-1:47 men dat joke is old as walt Disney's farts. Even tho some smokes them others eat it 😂
But how is he farting postmortem? Also, would that be vegan?
They canned some before death 😁
It depends sir, it could be if he was into the raisin bran cereal; otherwise isn't consumibles 👹
@@VTECAcademy canned Walt Disney's fart from living times could stink like cheese spread of mre in vietnam opened these days 😂
No shade but i dont think a k24 block with a k24head is a frank motor
👋🤓🤚
🤙🏽🤙🏽🥂
Vulture Mitsubishi Hankenstein mean chola in a batmobiile
Seniors.. haha If you dye your hair, you will look younger.. How are you.. 😁👍
😂 It’s branding now as the swap guru.
Wobble cam rig ghetto hater rigs
Why don’t u turn the throttlebody backwards..put the spring face in towards the exhaust
