Thank you
Thanks I’m about to do this backwards
4 years later back here with a bearing failure, doing this 1 more time for a kswap
I love how the S2000 community is full of gearheads so we can have videos like this. Thanks!
Holy shit. Lol he did it all by himself. While filming. You deserve a beer. Or 4.
Hahahaha Thanks bro
This has been the most helpful video I have found hands down. I also like that you’re not adding a bunch of lame commentary which makes it even more helpful. I just can’t watch the “what’s up TH-cam, welcome back to my channel, been a while since I posted a VLOG, be sure to like comment and subscribe” blah blah blah.... thx! Going to pull my blown motor this weekend - fingers crossed!
this video is 6 years old but god damn I cant thank you enough for it ! going to pull the motor and transmission this weekend !
Oh man thanks so much! I just found this. I'm taking my motor/gearbox out of the car this weekend! Huge props for helping all of us home wrenchers!
Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. 3 thumbs up.
This is going to help me a HELL of a lot!!! Props brotha and THANK YOU!
Thank you glad its helping people! I will have more dyi's coming soon and part reviews!!!
STARTED MINE YESTERDAY and am up to the dismounting transmission brace step.. Only got about 3 1/2 hrs in but looks like a walk in the park! I'll also take your advice for the reverse steps.. Thanks again
I'm Glad I could help you!!
I am so mad that I didn’t see this before I pulled my engine. THIS IS SO EASY thanks dude haha
Sorry for the spam, but man I can't thank you enough! There are so many ways to yank the motor and gearbox; this made mine a breeze! I dropped them from the bottom but this was completely idiot-proof. I hope you get a ton more views and subscribers for how much help you give.
K enough of me ;). I wish you well bud!
Thanks for showing how to pull the engine harness through the firewall. I need to solder some wires back together after removing some crappy alarm hack job.
great job dude. taking engine and trany out even without a lift!
Thank you! I want to show anyone can do these jobs with simple tools in your own driveway!
first of all...WOW...I applaud you making a video for the enthusiasts...but I am absolutely impressed with how you were able to do that rapidly with your advanced knowledge whilst retaining simplicity for us viewers. Surely you have done this before?? if not, you are most certainly a true professional in this art.
Honestly I have never touched a s2000 before I bought this car. but I have been a car enthusiast all my life and have been a mechanic/fabricator/machinist for years now. I have owned Hondas for the past several years and have done many swaps before. thank you for your input. I really wanted to show how easy it is to perform this kind of job and that you don't need really any special tools.
10/10
If there is anything you want to see let me know I can try my best to make videos people request!
thanks! i just installed my exhaust...About to install some shock and arm braces on my S this weekend...
Nice man what kind of exhaust did you put on?
Great tutorial! Good job!
Thank you!
Great video!!!
Nice bro! I'm going to attempt this on my ap2. You made it look so easy lol
Thank you man! Good luck!! i hope this helped out a bit
Gsonperformance when u put it back in did you just do everything in the opposite order? I already got mine out thanks to your video! Just waiting on my engine to get here
I did everything in opposite order but to make things easier I took off the shifter I also recommend taking the one cam sensor that's on the top rear of your valve cover. I also popped the clips to take the cowl cover off. I hope this helps!!
Thank you. Great video...
Well done solo...and filming. Taking a Merlin 1650 out of a P 51 or Honda S2000 engine... take your time, note where things came off and again take your time. Again I say well Done Mate.
Nice vid bro
Thank you I have more coming!!
awesome video!
Thank you! more to come! :)
Love the wheels!
Can you remove the AC compressor and set it off to the side so you don’t have to evacuate the system or will it be in the way?
What’s parts did you need to remove from the USDM f20c motor for it to work on the JDM motor? Did you use the JDM ecu or just your stock ecu. I’m about to do the same in my S2K and wanna make sure I have everything connected properly
is it easy to remove whole thing just to replace clutch or its better to stick with manual to remove it other way around.
I don't know how you did it with the transmission attached. I've been wiggling mine for hours and it's stuck. I'll have to remove the transmission
@18:30 I’m curious to why you don’t remove the fuel lines from the intake manifold
You're so good at this! Very informative. Do you have to drain the engine and trans oil?
Thank you! i guess you really dont have to drain them but i like to just incase the engine tilts to much when pulling it could run out the pcv.
Oh cool. Just wondering. So does every wiring harness in the engine bay go back to the ECU including the battery terminals?
RolanTHUNDER the main harness gets pulled through the firewall and goes to the ecu. The battery terminals don't come out when you pull the engine. They stay in the car.
Ah I see. Pretty straightforward then. By the way, I subbed to your channel ;) Keep up the good work, you're really good at this and its good to see another hands on S2K owner caring for his S like I do for mine :D
Thank you!! let me know if you want and how to videos. I'm all ears for new ideas
have you run into an issues with running less than 93 octane?
Great video. Thank you so much!!!
armando armenta thank you man means a lot. Glad it can help some people
I need to do this on my AP1, was the engine harness intact and usable on the JDM swap?
TheFastAndy it's was cut in 3 from the importing place so I reused my factory harness
You don't think it be better to drop the transmission and take out the engine from the top with a hoist? It looks like it was a really tight fit
Its I very tight to get the upper bell housing bolts out. to get them out you have to remove the exhaust manifold plus drop the whole front subframe just to get access to the bolts. check out my clutch install video I show how to gain access to those upper bell housing bolts.
Did you hammer the cross beam at the front of the engine to get clearance
No I did not but its was a REALLY tight fit
Hi bro, recently I just got my engine failure, I need to swap in a new F20C to my S2K. My car is an USDM s2k, so if I swap in a JDM f20c, do you think I also need to swap the ECU? Because I know that the JDM F20C compression ratio is 11.7:1, but the USDM compression ratio is 11.0:1, since the difference of the compression ratio, is the ECU tuning also different? Is it possible to use JDM ECU along with the JDM F20C?
chenyu gan I am still using my usdm ecu on my Jdm swap it works great
sounds wonderful, do I need to do any other changes besides the oil pressure sensor on the VTEC solenoid?
chenyu gan that’s all I did and it runs 110% and no check engine lights
That is very good.
So I'm current pulling my F20C. So there is a 4th 10mm bolt for the heat shield for the battery(at least on ap1s) that is a bitch to get....anyone else have this problem? And the clip for the ground cable that he forgot to unbolt near the end of the video that's under a metal box is also in a terrible location....anyone gotta any tips for that? And if you dont have the coupler he has when he unbolted his driveshaft it'll be fun.....
hope you figured it out by now, but the heat shield bolt would need to be removed from the bottom. the ground cable needs some snaking but itll come out.
You do know that you can, make your hood stand 90 degrees right? You should check that out, its made for when you work on your engine like that you are doing
My Allen bolts are sezie. So I gave up
For those having issues with the driveshaft Allen bolts... I heated them up with a small torch for about 20 seconds and they broke loose right away. I used an L shape Allen key cause my ratchet Allen would not fit.
@@godfather1317 Thank you for the tip! I'm going through hell to get those damn bolts out. I will try this!
I'm not sure how many times you filmed this to make it look easy. It is not. I spent two days pulling hoses, harnesses, and unbolting components along with the driveshaft. The most difficult parts of getting the complete engine/transmission out of the vehicle (which needs the most explanation) just so happens to be where you didn't realize the camera was off.
I only had to film this once. lol I had the whole swap out and in and running in 2 days. I explained what I did when the camera was off. all I did was take the engine mounts and brackets off. to get the engine out you need to have the transmission tilted way down to get a hard enough angle. I hope this helps
Interesting. The engine would not tilt enough to have it slide out as described. The engine mounts were removed to make room but our issue was in space front to back. The rear rocker cover and the front oil pan were wedged between the firewall and the brace in the front. We ended up pulling the entire oil pan off to make room and damaging the oil sump in getting the old engine out (not that it mattered as it was toast anyways). We tried pitching and rolling the engine every way we could think of without having the room to slide out.
hmm that's weird did you used the mounting points that I did in the video to hook your chain up?
We actually tried multiple. We tried a level kit at first, pulled that off and went to a chain front and aft. Then tried something similar to yours. When pitching the engine the diagonal length from rocker cover (aft) to oil pan (front) was too large to go through the space available. Ended up denting the firewall slightly and smashing some stuff on the support brace. Did you originally drop the engine down before pitching?
1tdiaudi well that seems like that was your problem. The chain mounting points didn't let you get the angle that I was able to get with my mounting points.
