As an ancient MCM fan (marty's Mom's driveway days), and a Honda fanboy here in the States, I'm so happy that y'all have finally given Honda a fair shake here (not in a bad way, just without the constant Honda bad jokes). No dream sequences, turbo whistles in exhausts, etc. The B16 was good too but having Brian on and doing a K swap is next level! 🙏
Completely agree with you here. Havent started the video yet, but I was really hoping it wasn't just another Honda bashing video. That got old real quick, probably the worst running gag
@irgv-tec2560 yet people are K swapping NSX's. C series is a cool motor, but nowhere's near the league a 2JZ when it comes to modding it. There's 2500hp 2jz out there churning 6secs in 1/4. An NSX or c32 or even c30 isn't doing either those things. Grannas racing on the other hand..... Love my Hondas but again C series was outclassed by a lot of straight 6s
@@LegerAndCo C-series back in the day, was a hell of a lot more expensive. And more rare. Compared to the 2jz being more numerous compared to C-series. Which is why I believe, it hasn't had a chance to have as much development from the aftermarket sector. compared to the rest of the engines out there. Guarantee the c series it would hold more power than a k series with the standard block. There are more k series out there less expensive and more aftermarket support that's why people go k series. As for what the c-series could achieve, really is unknown as there is not enough examples out there that could define what it could do.
You remember when they were spending $200 on a build, doing fake turbo noises and picking snot out from under seats and filming it lol 😆 those are the videos we all wanted back when they started.
This build might have the highest purity quotient of any build on this channel so far. Big fat NA power, proper handling, light weight. I really want to see them track this.
While forced induction is awesome, there’s something satisfying about a naturally aspirated engine screaming its guts out to make power. Especially when VTEC kicks in!! I used to have a Euro R with H22a. It was so much fun and handled like a go kart. Fond memories. Now I have a Honda CB650R 650cc inline 4 revving to 12,900 rpm pumping out 95hp with a few mods and tune.
Brian is the man! He gave me the prototype mounts WAY BACK for the Bseries to the 84-87 civic/crx to get my car going and from that point on I had been a Hasport fan/dealer and supporter. He really takes care of people and keeps the community going.
Might not be as difficult as the Type R Mini but the amount of planning, sourcing parts, travel from people and other work that has gone in to this video is mad. MCM always sets the bar high for their videos and keeps delivering, even after all these years. Brilliant work both. Massive respect for the effort that goes in to all of your videos.
Only for MCM would people fly around the world to help them for a build. That speaks massively for how genuinely good people you are. Thanks for this VTEC extravaganza. What an epic video. The cinematics in the end is PURE MOVIE.
In high school, I was reading Sport Compact Car (and similar) magazines and day dreaming about Hasport parts before the first Fast and the Furious movie even came out. Having Brian there is absolutely legendary, and an homage to the grassroots of what being a "tuner" car enthusiast is all about. Cheers all around 🍻
@@lexuspod donut has already released one of their crossover videos on their @realmechanicstuff channel. It came out probably the same day this did. I bet there will be more on their main channel.
What an absolutely terrific sound coming out of that set up!! Wow!! For an engine/drivetrain putting down under 200 wheel horsepower and only 2.4 liters, that engine with that specific exhaust matched up delivers a very sweet low tone resonance that rises all the way up to redline even when those ripping tones enter the mix. Absolutely perfect. The beauty on the ears of carrying that low resonance all through the range of acceleration is that it never begins to turn into a painful shrill of all higher engine notes inside the cabin. That perfect.y blended tone ensemble tells you this thing is breathing perfectly for its tune which delivers that hard and smooth acceleration. It’s no wonder why folks are so addicted to that engine series. So cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I don't care what anyone else but the EK is one of the best looking cars in hatch format. The grille/wheels/stance is perfect. And now with the K24 in there, that engine bay looks perfect. An amazing little car. Well done lads!
Just want to point out, I’ve had Brian’s Hasport mounts since 1998/99 and never disappointed with it. It is still currently in my 91 civic stored away. He saved us back then in Canada
@ 44:36, what's up with the engine? It's like very.... stair-steppy? Is that just the exhaust hitting weird harmonics, or is the engine backfiring/hesitating a lot throughout the RPM range? I mean, it sounds like a very rhythmic series of engine misses.
Brian, is a Honda wizard. Great car guys! Brian and I put the same K24, no cams, in my 2038 lb 86 CRX and it made 220hp to the wheels and 200ftlbs. So you guys still have some HP left on the table. Mine hits the track for the first time this weekend! Keep the videos coming!
@@BryceCzirr-jz7juyou think that took a lot of time money and effort? Dude you can do that work in a weekend all in for a few grand. Spend some coin down the road if you choose on real suspension, and whoop a golf R's ass, buddy u got no clue. Not to mention you'll still be all in for well under the half the cost of a golf R....AND everyone will be standing around the crx in the parking lot, not the dime a dozen plain ass golf LMFAO
This is one of my favorite MCM videos in a bit, and it’s not like I’ve disliked any of the other recent videos! Something about seeing a “budget” build with a lot of friends makes this video a lot of fun!
I'm literally not even halfway through, but I already know this is my favorite MCM video. It is so very hard to pick, mind you! But the absolute positivity and community you are showing here, learning from an expert and even publishing mistakes. Speaking so positively of your peers at all times. Truly an inspiration to ME, your channel is part of why I love the car scene and I can only speak positively of the fun, exciting atmosphere you generate. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but It is great to see the hard work that goes into extensively R&D'd parts, that make it so that modding these vehicles is more accessible for more people. Bravo everyone!
Seeing the collaboration of local legends and international brainiacs and superstars, all thrown together in a masterpiece is an absolute treat! MCM has always been about the people and moments shared, the things with wheels, are just a vehicle in which to connect and share the abundance of beautiful moments that take place, thank you guys! ❤
WOW THIS IS A DREAM BUILD- Brian is a legend! and Hasport and Hybrid Racing make the best Kswap Parts In my opinion! This will be your new favorite car I am certain of it
Wow, so many memories. Bought a set of Hasport back in 2008 for an H22 swap. I was broke back then but had to do it properly and put all into these mounts. Best thing I dis and rocked proudly the Skull logo. Great to see the person behind it and his passion still today.
I'm not gonna lie. You get Finnegan & Frieburger onboard.....that's pretty awesome. You get Donut Media to come out. That's pretty awesome. You get Brian from Hasport to come to Australia and help you with a build.....THAT'S LEGIT!!!
Shout out to whomever did the cinematography in the final minute or so of the film. Those shots were BEAUTIFUL. amazing build as well. It’s great to see three of my favorite channels unite for any reason, but for a Kswap? incredible 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
There is no better car show for learning things than MCM. The old Wheeler Dealers shows were great, but you guys are next level. Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration. It just keeps getting better.
I saw you guys on Donut Media, very happy to see them join you guys on this build. This has turned out to be a very fun collab, I hope you guys have more content coming up together. In the future I'd love to see you guys do a build off collab with Speed Academy that would be freaking awesome! Love how surprised Moog looks on the drive after the dyno run.
Build is amazing and most people don't realize how much effort goes into documenting the process and making a film like this. That's why I love your channel. Keep up the good work boys! 💪❤
Also I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you all for the Honda love. I sold my Honda, bought a BMW, and now this is really making me want another DA9 Integra with a K24 swap. I know that Hasport can help me make that dream a reality, but like y'all say, that's a dream for another day. Thank you guys, for that trip down memory lane.
I’m only 15 minutes in and I already love this video. After a real crappy day at work it’s just what I needed. I have a couple of Civics, the EK hatch being my absolute fav and dream car so it’s amazing to see you guys working on one!
Man, you guys are awesome, and I have been loving these last few builds you guys have been doing. Keep up the awesome work, gents. I absolutely love it!!!!! 8000 Rpm sounds so good to the ear. Please will you guys take this to the track and run it, I think we would all love to see what this thing can do.
Just got some of this and was searching for a tutorial. I found this. This is a well-done video! Shows clearly what he's doing without video edits. The only thing was there was no b4 and after.
Brian and mighty car mods together is so epic, my first swap I ever did, the hydro to cable b series trans conversion just came out, early 2000’s been stuck on Honda for life still till this day.
One thing to touch on when doing a swap like this is, I had to purchase a 2006 civic Si Brake bias valve, With the gearbox being on now the other side to stock in my Aerodeck, the ABS unit would not clear the downpipes (4 Branch) Thus doing this is also an abs delete so what ever you do please do Not take the bulb out of the dash when it shows up as a fault ;)! Great video guys My has sport mounts were beautiful too.
Drive shafts were also an annoying issue I had, I put the ends from my MB shafts on to the K20 shafts, and because of the position of the engine in the car and the wheelbase of the MB / EK I got binding issues and a bad rumbling noise when going over bumps. I eventually bought some Correct length custom shafts, Not cheap but seriously worth it. Making sure you have the correct Loom for the engine bay is also important as some d16's dont have the wiring for the v-tec solenoid. Luckily my car did, I got my Loom for all of this stock ecu adjustments from a company called Boost works and it was spot on, Probably the hardest part of the build though by far figuring out how to adapt the k20 ecu to to the car. Sorry for the rambling, Just here to try and help best I can! Share the love
Braaahhh member the civic with caliper covers on the rear drums and the... the PVC roll cage 😂😂😂 brahhh when I saw that it made me litteraly laught to death
Every time I’ve had mates come to my place to work on my project, it’s been a disaster. I’m super jealous of the camaraderie you have with friends and people. Much love to you guys for this project and look fwd to seeing more.
I'm a Honda fanboy cos my first car was an EJ Civic. Always loved them and it makes me so happy, but jealous, to see them still being built. This looks incredible and the support you've had is absolutely top tier. Also love seeing Moog get thrown back into his seat with a smile on his face after all his little jabs at Hondas 😂
Brian is the MAN! He was the first person I talked to about my turbo K Series build. Now its almost done, and he helped point me in the right direction.
MCM!! The channel that made me follow a degree in automotive engineering, specifically that honda swapped mini, epic built. And here I am, after several years, watching again a honda built on MCM 3 days before the graduation 💨. You guys influenced big time!!!
What an awesome episode! This reminds me so much of the grass roots that started MCM, only turned up to 11. This is a fantastic build into an awesome little car, its hard to put into words but i had so much fun watching this episode, keep up the good work. Also, Moog, the music for this episode is nothing but pure bliss *chef kiss*.
You guys build some of the best cars in the world,not just because of the power or sound, sometimes the way you build a car and the style of the car is just amazing,not too flashy,not too over the top...just perfect.Saludos from Spain
Okay, it's actually pretty awesome that they have Brian from Hasport. As someone who has bought parts from him, I love that he makes an appearance in this video.
It’s awesome to see Brian from Hasport come out to lend a hand and you got the Donut Media crew too! Tbh, I love to see your Honda builds. During your drive way days, S2000 and MX5 days, Super gramps days were my high prime time to your channel. I didnt know Scotty is a Honda fan! LOL. Love to see more Honda contents and collaboration with other TH-camrs.
I honestly prefer K series over B series now. I used to Stan B series in the early 2000s. I'd honestly go K20A in this though if anyone intends to do this swap, but I understand why they did K24. Salvaged car.
@@tinystar3010 Having driven both and currently driving a K24, it depends on the purpose. For a street car, 100% prefer the punchier K24. For a track car though, screaming K20 all the way.
Finally!! I've been waiting for MCM to do a k-sawp for years, and I'm not disappointed at all. Great job guys. Hopefully the Honda bug has bitten you and we'll get to see more from the Honda brand ;)
One epic episode from start to finish. All the dimensions that make MCM worth supporting. Moog sometimes you really do trot out those crazy superlatives.
This was a brilliant video just for the smiles on your faces on your road test Bloody fantastic Both of you where smiling from ear to ear That makes the whole thing worth Nice work
Before the crap talking begins, I had an EJ8 Civic coupe that I swapped in a fully built LSVTEC (1.85L DOHC VTEC) with fully forged internals (CP .030" over pistons and Eagle rods) micropolished, balanced, and knifedged crank, and I swapped on a PR3 B16B (Civic Type-R) head, Skunk2 Stage 3 cams, 3 angle valve job, Skunk2 dual valve springs with titanium retainers, and Skunk2 Lost Motion Assemblies. It had WAY too many mods to list in a TH-cam comment, but with a Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo on 34 psi it made 709 whp. Even a stock K24 with supporting mods like ARP head studs and a MLS head gasket) can make 550 whp with good tuning. Brian Gilespie is a legend and his crew make some AMAZING products for our cars. Hell, back in the very early 00s I built a 1992 Acura Integra hatch with a stock B18A1 with a 5 speed with a junkyard sourced turbo kit and it went on to make 257 whp at 15 psi on an old worn out 1.8L DOHC non-VTEC and it still had ice cold AC and was able to make 28 mpg with the bigger injectors. Hondas are SO easy to make a fun daily driver.

As much as we all love to hate on the d series, a d16y6 with a gt35r it ridiculously fun and bullet proof.
Back in the day my buddies and I could do a d to b swap in 45 mins 😂
What an excellent video, the story, the adventure, the people and the build were the best use of the interballs I've seen in a while, thank you guys
wish you guys did a full build on a civic including turning it into fulltime 4WD
Buff the tail lights of the car, you will be shocked how amazing they turn out :)
As an old guy myself it's awesome to see Brian at the top of his game. Age doesn't dampen the enthusiasm for custom machinery.
experts who are generous with their skill and knowledge are the best people. What a legend
Brian never misses a beat, besides that one spring haha
With age comes experience and knowledge that is priceless
From what I've seen age doesn't dampen the enthusiasm and the years of experience add so much quality and professionalism it's amazing, big respect
Brain is a guru for sure much appreciated to all his research and development with motor swaps and motor mounts
shout out to hasport for offering a lifetime warranty on their items...such a smart move to take the failures back in and learn from them to offer a better product to everyone
That was a brilliant idea 💡. @brianhasport, awesome job.
what honda has good?
detonated engines
Brian seems like an amazing dude. Mad respect, that's not an owner just in it for the money he's in it for the passion and excitement
As an ancient MCM fan (marty's Mom's driveway days), and a Honda fanboy here in the States, I'm so happy that y'all have finally given Honda a fair shake here (not in a bad way, just without the constant Honda bad jokes). No dream sequences, turbo whistles in exhausts, etc. The B16 was good too but having Brian on and doing a K swap is next level! 🙏
It was a D16 I think
i remember the driveway days :D
Completely agree with you here. Havent started the video yet, but I was really hoping it wasn't just another Honda bashing video. That got old real quick, probably the worst running gag
No glue on Brembo caliper covers this time.
Honda Gang
Honestly I cannot believe it’s been over 10 years that I’ve been hooked on MCM, they are the epitome of what a car enthusiast is! 🤙🏻
they still need to do a 2jz aswell, they've done Rb26, K24, B16,SR20, EJ's now they need the real holy grail of jdm motors. a freakin 2JZ-GTE

Big dad energy from Brian. Seems like a kind, genuine as well as expert in his field!
Brian is awesome, he helped me with the mounts on my k20 swap in my em1.
The fact you specifically looked for a shifter that wouldn't change the interior is mad respect

200 hp "big" ?
its purity cus k swapping is always a good choice

Appreciate that! We've been MCM fans for like 14-15 years. (How is that possible?)
Brian is an absolute legend…. He has been an inspiration of mine for almost 20 years
he was down for WTAC nice bumping into him.
Brian & Hasport changed the trajectory of the Honda engine swap game and the import motorsport, and enthusiast world spheres almost single handedly.
The smile on Moogs face at the end was priceless!
His eyes just got wider and wider, brilliant. He really does love a sonic experience with their cars and the high revs really delivered

We've collabed with all 3. 😉 Not a flex! We are just psyched to work with such good people.
That stationary rolling shotnin the tunnel was so beautifully framed
.just wow to that and the ceazy K swap with mates
I met Brian twice, many many years ago, at events. He seemed like the nicest guy who just loves cars and Hondas!
The smile as Marty does the pull up the hill says it all! Cars, no matter what your into, should make you smile!
Build is amazing and most people don't realize how much effort goes into documenting the process and making a film like this. That's why I love your channel. Keep up the good work boys!
💪❤
Also I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you all for the Honda love. I sold my Honda, bought a BMW, and now this is really making me want another DA9 Integra with a K24 swap. I know that Hasport can help me make that dream a reality, but like y'all say, that's a dream for another day. Thank you guys, for that trip down memory lane.
I’m only 15 minutes in and I already love this video. After a real crappy day at work it’s just what I needed.
I have a couple of Civics, the EK hatch being my absolute fav and dream car so it’s amazing to see you guys working on one!
Man, you guys are awesome, and I have been loving these last few builds you guys have been doing. Keep up the awesome work, gents. I absolutely love it!!!!! 8000 Rpm sounds so good to the ear. Please will you guys take this to the track and run it, I think we would all love to see what this thing can do.
Just got some of this and was searching for a tutorial. I found this. This is a well-done video! Shows clearly what he's doing without video edits. The only thing was there was no b4 and after.
Brian and mighty car mods together is so epic, my first swap I ever did, the hydro to cable b series trans conversion just came out, early 2000’s been stuck on Honda for life still till this day.
This is such a beautiful build. Clean, powerful, sounds and looks amazing, and brings a smile to everyone's faces. Just perfect. Well done, guys.
One thing to touch on when doing a swap like this is, I had to purchase a 2006 civic Si Brake bias valve, With the gearbox being on now the other side to stock in my Aerodeck, the ABS unit would not clear the downpipes (4 Branch) Thus doing this is also an abs delete so what ever you do please do Not take the bulb out of the dash when it shows up as a fault ;)! Great video guys My has sport mounts were beautiful too.
Drive shafts were also an annoying issue I had, I put the ends from my MB shafts on to the K20 shafts, and because of the position of the engine in the car and the wheelbase of the MB / EK I got binding issues and a bad rumbling noise when going over bumps. I eventually bought some Correct length custom shafts, Not cheap but seriously worth it.
Making sure you have the correct Loom for the engine bay is also important as some d16's dont have the wiring for the v-tec solenoid. Luckily my car did, I got my Loom for all of this stock ecu adjustments from a company called Boost works and it was spot on, Probably the hardest part of the build though by far figuring out how to adapt the k20 ecu to to the car.
Sorry for the rambling, Just here to try and help best I can! Share the love
How awesome is Brian! what an inspiration and absolute legend to come all the way to Australia to help out with the build. Way to go!
That smile on Moog’s face at the end said it all. He loves it 😃🤟🏼 Nice work guys!
Braaahhh member the civic with caliper covers on the rear drums and the... the PVC roll cage 😂😂😂 brahhh when I saw that it made me litteraly laught to death
Every time I’ve had mates come to my place to work on my project, it’s been a disaster. I’m super jealous of the camaraderie you have with friends and people. Much love to you guys for this project and look fwd to seeing more.
I'm a Honda fanboy cos my first car was an EJ Civic. Always loved them and it makes me so happy, but jealous, to see them still being built. This looks incredible and the support you've had is absolutely top tier.
Also love seeing Moog get thrown back into his seat with a smile on his face after all his little jabs at Hondas 😂
Wow, what a throwback. I was doing 90's Honda swaps and Brain was an 'OG with HASPort / LoCash.
Can't believe Marty was thinking of stopping it at 195whp.
It’s always starts like that…. Next you know you have a 300whp car lol
Next video : I'VE TURBOED MY K24 CIVIC
you can do some headwork and rods and a k24 will do 300hp n/a all day
Brian is the MAN! He was the first person I talked to about my turbo K Series build. Now its almost done, and he helped point me in the right direction.
MCM!! The channel that made me follow a degree in automotive engineering, specifically that honda swapped mini, epic built. And here I am, after several years, watching again a honda built on MCM 3 days before the graduation 💨. You guys influenced big time!!!
What an awesome episode! This reminds me so much of the grass roots that started MCM, only turned up to 11. This is a fantastic build into an awesome little car, its hard to put into words but i had so much fun watching this episode, keep up the good work. Also, Moog, the music for this episode is nothing but pure bliss *chef kiss*.
Bryan is a Honda legend. He is the reason the Honda race scene is still so hot
You guys build some of the best cars in the world,not just because of the power or sound, sometimes the way you build a car and the style of the car is just amazing,not too flashy,not too over the top...just perfect.Saludos from Spain
Okay, it's actually pretty awesome that they have Brian from Hasport.
As someone who has bought parts from him, I love that he makes an appearance in this video.
It’s awesome to see Brian from Hasport come out to lend a hand and you got the Donut Media crew too! Tbh, I love to see your Honda builds. During your drive way days, S2000 and MX5 days, Super gramps days were my high prime time to your channel. I didnt know Scotty is a Honda fan! LOL. Love to see more Honda contents and collaboration with other TH-camrs.
they were down for WTAC...
the sound of the VTEC kicking in at 39:51 is the first time ive ever heard a difference and man it sounded great.
I honestly prefer K series over B series now. I used to Stan B series in the early 2000s. I'd honestly go K20A in this though if anyone intends to do this swap, but I understand why they did K24. Salvaged car.
For petrol i think K24 is unbeatable in value, you can get them for less than it costs to get an OEM headgasket for an N54
I daily drive a K24 now already. Would much rather have the K20 and plan to swap mine out one day.
lol put a k20 head on it , go look up k24 frank engines @@tinystar3010
Where I'm at between Malaysia/Thailand ... b16/18, H22, K20/24, F20/22 been swap from EF till CRZ, Jazz/Fit since I can remember.
@@tinystar3010 Having driven both and currently driving a K24, it depends on the purpose. For a street car, 100% prefer the punchier K24. For a track car though, screaming K20 all the way.
Finally!! I've been waiting for MCM to do a k-sawp for years, and I'm not disappointed at all. Great job guys. Hopefully the Honda bug has bitten you and we'll get to see more from the Honda brand ;)
Finally a k swap civic ! Yes yes yes ! Keep it up boys this content is GOLD.
This episode was a blast! 😍 Great to see fellow car enthusiasts and enthusiast TH-camrs joining you with the build. Every video is worth the wait.
One epic episode from start to finish. All the dimensions that make MCM worth supporting. Moog sometimes you really do trot out those crazy superlatives.
Such a lovely episode, so much detail, teamwork, positivity and general awesomeness! And what a cool result too
That car looks and sounds like it's just ready to go have a good time at any speed. Brian G is a legend in the Honda world....
It’s great to see how other TH-cam channels coming together to do projects 😊😊
This was a brilliant video just for the smiles on your faces on your road test
Bloody fantastic
Both of you where smiling from ear to ear
That makes the whole thing worth
Nice work
So stoked to see you guys working with Brian! What a legend!
Brian is a real legend in the Honda World. Awesome build!
27:02 looks like he using his head to bang in that hub, hilarious.
😂😂😂😂
Brian is a legend, he was competing with hondas all the way back in that drag racing reality tv show where they raced for slips 😁
I think the show was actually called Pinks.
You know it's amazing how international you guys are getting 😊 you have friends all over the world!
Before the crap talking begins, I had an EJ8 Civic coupe that I swapped in a fully built LSVTEC (1.85L DOHC VTEC) with fully forged internals (CP .030" over pistons and Eagle rods) micropolished, balanced, and knifedged crank, and I swapped on a PR3 B16B (Civic Type-R) head, Skunk2 Stage 3 cams, 3 angle valve job, Skunk2 dual valve springs with titanium retainers, and Skunk2 Lost Motion Assemblies. It had WAY too many mods to list in a TH-cam comment, but with a Garrett GTS3582 dual ball bearing turbo on 34 psi it made 709 whp. Even a stock K24 with supporting mods like ARP head studs and a MLS head gasket) can make 550 whp with good tuning. Brian Gilespie is a legend and his crew make some AMAZING products for our cars. Hell, back in the very early 00s I built a 1992 Acura Integra hatch with a stock B18A1 with a 5 speed with a junkyard sourced turbo kit and it went on to make 257 whp at 15 psi on an old worn out 1.8L DOHC non-VTEC and it still had ice cold AC and was able to make 28 mpg with the bigger injectors. Hondas are SO easy to make a fun daily driver.
Hasport Brian is a legend. I love that guy.
Great episode, felt more like the old days of MCM, very refreshing
