For a 05-06 rsx the swap isn’t to hard since the vss are the same. 02-04 the case needs to be drilled to fit the vss. You will need a type s shift selector. Also a k tuned shifter cable bracket or drill the case and tap for the type s one. Also need a speed converter. Or change the ratios if you have k-pro.
I started from the ground up. Wheels from TL, rotors/pads, springs, anti rolls, clutch, cai,RH,exhuast,hondata etc. Weight reduced with a lightweight flywheel (rotational mass) beats any kind of interior stripping imo. The most important thing is a Hondata
Exactly my words. Especially that you need to tie all those things and details together, I'm doing it on my car and it works great, it's funny, agile, fast, but cheap and reliable.
I Love that RSX man... I'm thinking of getting coil-overs for my RSX, it's my daily , no track or auto cross or anything like that but it's tuned making 220whp. I've narrowed them down to Tein street advance Z or BC racing. The BC are almost twice the cost of the Teins tho. Which would you recommend ? Are the Teins any good seeing that they are 1/2 price of the BC's?
If you drive your car like a grandma and never speed or drive reckless get the Teins.... If you drive fast and push it and beat on the get the BC racing could or just get some custom coils built for cheaper than the BC's.
the hardest part of my build was tuning my suspension. I was worried about engine and tranny, mean while...…… suspension is laughing at me. "dialing in" would be getting all your parts to work together. which was pretty hard on my ep3.
Question.... I’m in the process of “building” my first ever k car.... 03 base rsx..... why does or did the key on your dash flash..... cause I have to swap my manual trans in.... but I found out I have no ecu so I run into the immobilizer problem.... how do I get around that?
I did a k20a2 head with full bolt ons- gearing isn’t there for 1-2 with the SI 5spd as well- 7800 redline (avoid 8 or above with the a3 block) and I’m putting around 220-230 wheel 93 octane
I mean is there videos of you going through the removal of such things.....for weight reduction? I am getting a rsx possibly as my first car and just curious
Yoo you have and parts just bought a 06 base model and it’s a auto slow af I sold my Subaru Sti so it’s a down grade in speed in fun but I love my Honda’s so I’m back to square 1
Depends on what you're using the car for and your budget. Because for you it might be worth it but for me it maybe a total waste. It's not a yes or no answer.
Tank America litttty post that shit up on insta or something I wanna see that, I just got a rsx type s I love it N/a but I was gonna do a full swap in my em2 but I never noticed how clean the dc5s really are
Im still building my DC4 Integra i have a b18c5 engine i have some coilovers just got it 8 months ago had sone transmission issue's dropped a new 1 in now im. Thinking about a turbo kit.......i was going to keep it N.A. it was rather fast......im just taking it slow so i dont do any unnecessary mods
Thank you for the video! I just struggle with rim and tire sizes. I know that I want some rpf1s that are 17x9, but then I see the rest of the chart and see the offset and such and idk I panic and don't pull the trigger on it. I just don't wish to buy something and have it not fit or buy it and have it fit and then try to upgrade the brakes and it doesn't fit anymore. I think that is the biggest struggle for me. Thank you for the video and tips. Keep them coming!
Thanks for the feedback! I am still looking into everything, but seeing what other people run helps out a lot. It gives much more feed back than looking at the numbers at a chart. As always, thank you man even if your replies are very short they still help out a lot xD
Love the car man and have nothing but respect for hondas, but why do they all sound like beehives. Even the K24 is still really raspy. This is an actual question. Great video man
Poor lil ej20.. Lmao so sad how slow thy really are to a very nicely done a3. Still tryin to get my a3 to perform a lil more. Got a k24a2 jus sittin (06-08 tsx) jus dont wanna give up on tha a3. She runs right with my s atm but still needs more lol
DC502civic629 you should do auto cross or get sponsored.. I'm not sure how all that works but explaining little details on the base and going over things that most people wouldn't know. I'm still getting into cars and I'm struggling lol. Keep it up tho !
I just put a 8th gen civic trans in my base. I recommend a 6 speed swap to any base owners. It Freed up some power.
Nice!!
Gear ratios on the 6 speed👌 worth it
Yo how much are those trans going for and is it a straight swap????
For a 05-06 rsx the swap isn’t to hard since the vss are the same. 02-04 the case needs to be drilled to fit the vss. You will need a type s shift selector. Also a k tuned shifter cable bracket or drill the case and tap for the type s one. Also need a speed converter. Or change the ratios if you have k-pro.
What up! Did it rev higher with a 6speed trans??

YOU ARE THE TH-camR IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR! Just got a 06 base rsx tryna build it
Haha well perfect, I hope I can help!!
Me too bro just copped one for 1,000$
5 speed
I'm glad you're still out there bro, like seriously !!!
Haha old head
Can't help but laugh everytime I watch this video, that thing just pulls so hard lol.
Good bolt ons and it's okay, deff not the fastest thing on the streets
that's what internals will do stock internals from a different k series no way its stock a3 pistons and rods

yardman0001 is it a base?
Go with raceland coils
First time on your channel, just subscribed. Good stuff 👌
Thanks bro!
could you elaborate more on the “dial in” part? Wdym by dial in? sorry
Hit up the shop in the description and ask for me, I can go over it 101.
Darehick I think he means that you have to tune it to your car, and break it in like when you get new mounts you have to break them in

Inspired ! always love watching your vids
Thanks shoot some video ideas!!
Bro your car is such an inspiration to what I’m tryna do wit my base, ima noob but ik what I kinda want. I got some questions tho, dm me
Hit up the shop in the description they can give you my contact info.

Also got any parts? Need an ecu 😂😂
Call the shop they can get you what you need. I don't have any spare stuff laying around.
Do you know how to bypass the immobilizer without buying the unit from ktuned?
Shop might I don't
hey bro, I am telling you, you are 100% right... Thank you for the point out... currently still working on my k20a3 rsx 04.
Hope the build goes good for you! Lmk if you need help.
Just got my rsx base not that long ago and the guy before me used it for track and took off the sway bars
Wow crazy
you took out all that plastic trim which weighs little, but you forgot to take out the glove box door.. that thing is so heavy, like 10 lbs..
It's cut though lol it's not 10lbs anymore.
Is this just a base rsx with custom bolt ons and k pro or did you do a head swap or camshaft upgrade?
Stock head and stock cams, unopened A3 with 250k miles lol. Check the other videos.
@@DC502civic629 pretty excited to build a k this year. 🇯🇲 much love bro.
@@RudebwoyRacing good luck!! If you have any questions let me know.
@@corruptonu2934 Type-S parts don't make good power on a base motor because they weren't designed for it. Imma say 150-157whp max.
@@DC502civic629 it has 250k? My base has 246k and I’m scared to push it lol
How much weight difference did it make before and after? Curious
Before and after what?
@@DC502civic629 after you stripped all the stuff off for weight reduction.
The base k20a3 really isn't bad at all .
Yeah its not if you run the right parts....
I did a k20a2 head with full bolt ons- gearing isn’t there for 1-2 with the SI 5spd as well- 7800 redline (avoid 8 or above with the a3 block) and I’m putting around 220-230 wheel 93 octane
Or you could just buy good bolt ons and make that without a head swap lol
You using rbc intake manifold and you fabricated your own exhaust ?
No got everything from the shop in the description.
what was ur experience with skunk2
What about it?
do u think skunk2 full bolt ons on a rsx types can put out 230whp? and is skunk 2 good quality
Nah I wouldn't, custom bolt ons can make 250whp though on a type-s.
In putting a new motor in my rsx base what can i do to it so it can pull like you car and sound like your car when you floor it!
Contact the shop in the description and run the same bolt ons I got from them, it will be identical then lol 😂
I fuck wit it that shit be walkin niggas
It's okay lol
I mean is there videos of you going through the removal of such things.....for weight reduction? I am getting a rsx possibly as my first car and just curious
Yeah look at my entire channel, every video is RSX based.
dont remove shit,this car is loud,hot and not as fast as you think.
Yoo you have and parts just bought a 06 base model and it’s a auto slow af I sold my Subaru Sti so it’s a down grade in speed in fun but I love my Honda’s so I’m back to square 1
Yeah look under my videos for a walk around I go over everything done to the car
why the fuck buy an auto,wtf?
What is a good air fuel ratio on wide open throttle for the K series all motor?
Depends on your setup and fuel
I got a 07 k24a2 in my rsx I had a k20/k24 frank build before , I’m wanting to keep the k24 head but is the k20 head so much better ?
Depends on what you're using the car for and your budget. Because for you it might be worth it but for me it maybe a total waste. It's not a yes or no answer.
Tank America k20a2 better at higher rpms, k24 for bottom end more compression
I just bought a k20a2 head with drag cartel 2.2 cams n super tech valvetrain kit so gonna have a k20/k24 setup once again 🤙

6speed
i know this video old, but dude didnt' want to race you cuz he saw that go pro and stripped interior lmao, he knew what was about to happen

Wait the rsx doesn’t come with lsd?
Nope
Correct
Yeah, only the type s and type r has it
Type-S don't come with LSD either, only the Type-R does.

Carlo Castillo the correct header/ exhaust combo solves that
Because 16 valves + inline 4 cylinder + 2 liters = rasp
Sideways G any suggestion the type of combo?

What is LSD
A drug you take lol
acid bruhhhh
Limited Slip Differential

I thought that was a Ludicrous video lol
Hahaha thanks man!!
FIRST!!! I LOVE THE RSX
Thanks!!
Bro your base is faster than my type s lol
Haha probably is!!
add a header and exhaust,a tune and if you are brave an ebay turbo and intercooler.then enjoy the 300-400 horsepower......
