Most guys (myself included) will want the manual. I would focus more time on that until the rest of the swap kit is sorted. The DSG option would be cool later down the road, IMO.
I am so stoked. I’m literally going along with you to track my status for my cayman. I’m finishing up a few other projects along side, but keep up the amazing work.
As someone who daily drives a golf with the DQ250 and a big porsche fan I cant wait to see this thing completed..... and just to be curious...... Are you alluding to eventually K swapping a 4S??? AWD porsche swapped with a DQ250 and im sold!!!!!..... what a Bullet proof beast it would be!!
I look forward to seeing this completed. The old open block deck is a huge failure point on some Porches. I have a good friend who’s an engine builder, with that issue. I’m love him to do a full built 2.7L Honda.😂
How much does this trans weigh? Theres a couple potential donor options for a DCT, they make a massive difference on shift times but the exyra weight can be a complication since most K platforms are on fwd chassis... The dct from Mitsubishi is very capable, compact, yet finnicky, coming in at 99 kilos and AWD capable. Built by the right shop, they can support 600 wtq, but at that point its no longer a budget option.
I’ve been wondering about this swap for decades. I always wanted to use the stock 986 transaxle but there’s no way there’s enough room for the engine. Never thought about just turning it 90 degrees 😂. I assume you’re going to design mounts for a stock Honda 5 speed as well? I have no desire to use a DSG
I'm 6'2 on the dot you'll fit good in the Cayman don't worry. I think you would have to be maybe 6'5+ and wearing a helmet (for track days) to have some issues with headroom
Love the video bro been trying to search kswap motors with vw gti trans I hav 06 gti and wanna to swap it to kseries is there a way u can let me kno info in where u got adapted plate name of company if possibletganks..keep up the work look forward on more content
I think after about 350 foot lbs the DSG FACTORY computer locks you out… you could probably go higher on stock clutch and internals but I’d imagine 450 torque would REALLY be pushing it…
It’s AMAZING what technology has allowed to be possible!!! This guy is making a K swap easier to do to a Porsche…. Another dude just fabricated up a hand build S550 AWD Mustang…. There’s another guy mating up BMW DCTs to LS motors that should be able to function with any sports car with a LS motor.
The K24 to DQ250 together finally has me looking forward the next steps and the dynamics they will bring during operation!

That's whats happening, don't worry.
Well I want the DSG option - don’t know what you mean “most”
"Most" people prefer the performance of the DSG, that's why most cars aren't sold with a manual. If i want to drive a manual, i'd drive my sportsbike.
Emphasis on "most". DSG/PDK is wonderful!
I'd rather have a manual car

OMG ! Coming from a dude bound to a Wheelchair (Para). This is like a dream come true. I will be swapping this into my Integra RS in the Future.
Ho yes, DSG with awd k24 is our next built
DSGs are amazing transmissions, really glad to see them getting used in swaps! Subscribed!
what mounts were you gonna use for the EG?? i have a del sol and im going forward with this swap

Super cool stuff! Looking forward to seeing how all this develops.
How've the coil overs been? I decided against and am going to try Koni special active with stock springs but eibach swaybars.

I would love to see this in the civic as well

Which wire harness is best to use
Thanks for the adapter kit info and checking it!
Would it be possible with the right adapters bolt on a modern pdk to a k engine inside a Porsche ?
Need that C4S vid asap

Loving this dsg to k20/24 would this work in an 8th gen civic sedan
Sickkk so does the adapter kit with the vw dsg larger in size compared to an 8th gen si trans?
Congrats this its a perfect combo!
What ecu will you run the dsg with?
very cool vid! any idea if a 6'2" dude can fit ok in the Cayman?
I'm 6'2 on the dot you'll fit good in the Cayman don't worry. I think you would have to be maybe 6'5+ and wearing a helmet (for track days) to have some issues with headroom
do they make this for j series ?
how you gettign on with it?

Love the content and can't wait to get my car re tuned in the spring #winterbuild
How much power can that trans hold? Are there upgrades to run more power or get different gearing? Would save money over quaiffe

Awesome combo!!! Good work!
Very nice. Wish you also had 996 there as it is the most affordable 911 😂
