    There’s no way a build that clean costs 4-5k today. The swap alone would be $2-3k, kpro $1k, HR shifter/cables $700, EKK2 $600, radiator $400. Nope that’s an $8-12k build.

    Great content as always. Starting my EK kswap soon once I get the garage situation figured out. Big concern to me doing the swap, was the vibration I was going to see. On my buddys kswap, we did a test using a stock RSX rear tranny mount and fill the voids in the mount with 45a poly. Almost no vibration and no wheel hop at all. Just a tip if looking to cut down on vibration!

    It’s easy
    I just got into Hondas like 2 years and I got a ek hatch automatic for like $300 with a blown engine I found a guy on offer up parting out a 08 civic si and he sold me the engine and transmission for $2000 with extra things I got kpro it was like $1500 $700 for ecu and another $800 to send to Hondata I got a rywire harness $800 and I skimped out on the motor mounts and intake I got those on ebay both for like $150 and I skimped out on the exhaust I got a “18 cherry bomb 3” exhaust from trubendz and a Ktuned turn down muffler I found on offer up for $120 I think it everything cost me $5000 and I’ve been daily driving my civic for 2 months on a base map I did all my research on TH-cam and Google putting the engine and transmission in a civic is easy you don’t have to drop the subframe look at my shorts ima try to upload more

I just didn't wanna lose AC and PS, and none of the mechanics I know knows how to make everything work just fine. beyond that, doing the sawp, will the check engine light ever go away? or do we need to live with it for the rest of our lives? take care of this jewel man and vtec the sh* out of it haha

    A “budget” K Swap does not mean “cheap” swap people. A budget is a budget. If you have a budget of $5k, then the max you spend is $5k. Cheap and expensive is subjective. To you, $5k might be cheap or it might be expensive. To me, it’s neither because $5k is within my budget.
