I was lucky enough to find out my in-law had a mugen si he was the second owner and sold it to me. I’m the 3rd owner 96k miles on it, all original so it’s nice to see they’re still some out there.
lol just found ya tonight! im re building my 08 civic 4door ex.. bout to slam it on ground after winter after seeing this im like WTF lol.. i got twins so broke build hope some get's it!!
dont worry about the condenser ive opened ac systems and had them open for 2 days as long as you pull a VERY good vacuum you ac will work better then before i usually add the max amount of freon the car says it can take and 1oz of dye and usually pull vacuum for 10 mins
Josh, trust me on this one, get a hybrid racing master cylinder and slave cylinder for the clutch, to avoid all of the grinding and lockout problems with K series trans and the factory delay valves. 218 k on my fg2, and I can flat shift it all day.
Dude your amazing, I just bought an 8th gen si (came from evos) and there isn’t any info about awd swapping these cars, I plan on doing an awd swap so I’m hoping your videos relieve some stress😅
I missed a lot. Josh disappeared long enough to have a baby and comes back and all I see is an Audi and Lambo. Then he's doing an entire swap and build into a Civic.
8th gen sedans give me the same vibe as the narrow body WRX. It's the odd one out of the group and disliked for the aesthetics. A base 08 wrx, and 08 Civic SI are both fun budget cars.
Hey Bader I always enjoy the Honda content! I have the 9th gen accord with CVT but do you know if that can be swapped for a normal auto to bolt up to my stock K24?
Sick build 👀 the ej25 is a really a terrible motor for high hp. I guess if you're into dumping $30K just into your motor, turbo setup, and fuel system for about 500 hp then do you. Turned in the Sti for a bmw M4 competition 450hp stock, not disappointed.
The EJ25 is a great engine, it’ll be hard to convince me otherwise seeing we have the more records than any else in that platform. 1000+whp on a 100% factory engine at 60psi of boost is impressive regardless.
If I showed up to a shop with all the parts(including fuel tank and fuel system), how much are shops charging these days for labor to install an AWD kit? For comparison, I paid $1800 in 2017 for labor to fully AWD my Dc5, and it took them 3 days(not sure how many hours they spent exactly over those 3 days). It kinda scares me to think how much motorsports shops are charging these days... I just got another dc5 rolling shell and I want to AWD swap it, but Im not trying to pay $5,000 in labor. I have such a small, crap garage for working on my car, but I may have to bite the bullet and do it myself if labor costs are too high.
1800 sounds super cheap even back in 2017 . That was a great deal. Hoping to awd my 8th gen coupe one of these days the same path you are heading. Good luck man and would appreciate some updates on your build bro!
@@oleyeller3256 Believe it or not, $1500-2000 was pretty much the standard rate back then. Obviously, it was $1800 just for labor. I paid for all the parts. AWDing these cars is pretty Straight forward. When it came to the Dc5, the toughest part was getting the rear hubs and suspension lined up and seated properly. I had a very early S1 Kit back then and used CRV hubs. Luckily for me, the shop I took it to had already AWD swapped 2 DC5's before me so they knew what they were doing. Only took them 3 days to have the kit installed and operational. I also got lucky looking back, because the old AWD Civics(like 2001-2002) from Japan and Europe still had fuel tanks available, and they were a direct bolt-on to the RSX. That probably saved a ton of time, as I was able to use an OEM tank and didnt really have to mess with the fuel system much(the car in Japan and Europe is the AWD Honda Ferio which was our 7th Gen Civic in the US). You can still find these gas tanks, but most of them are coming out of Russia or China now, so shipping it here is a pain.
@@oleyeller3256 The part # for the AWD gas tank is 17500-SR7-J31 if you can find one. They will likely fit an 8th gen as well. They are like $30 from Russia now, but again, good luck getting it shipped... lol
He only needs sleeves if he is going above 800whp realistically. K24's dont need as much boost, and K's rarely have cylinder wall failures. K's are not like B series. Very strong engines. K's are much more known for their cylinder head(valvetrain) issues at higher powers.
I am sooo fhuking sick of this Wagovan Shit! The Honda CR-V came K24, AWD with Manual transmission in the 2nd Gen! Why cannot all the parts from that model be used for these conversions? I mean how many late 80’s Civic do muthafukahs actually think are left in the scrap yards 😤
@@divinedriftofficial Its a civic bro... What do you expect.. WRX's are all pretty ugly too.. That is the reason I have dc5 and s2000... Best looking Honda cars. The JDM dc2-4 Type R is nice too. NSX is the best looking, but thats not exactly a normal Honda..
Devin has the world first AWD type R. And you will have the worlds first AWD mugen Si. Dope dude.
Not 1st awd 8th gen
First mugen is what he said. Regardless only a couple out there right now. No information on it.
@@BaderBuiltRacing i think your thong is too tight.... Loosen that bad boy!
@ that’s right. Well you got a lot of support. We all can’t wait to watch this series dude! Glad you’re back on!
Mugens are super cool, I always felt special to do the oil changes on them when they came through the Honda dealer.
If you are ever in Honshu, we can have you do one on a Mugen RR.
8th gen si’s getting the recognition it deserves W cars man 👑
Omg yes!! I never expected to see 8th gen civic content on here! And awd conversion of all things 😱
Hell yeah
2 videos in a week 👀
We’re so back
I was lucky enough to find out my in-law had a mugen si he was the second owner and sold it to me. I’m the 3rd owner 96k miles on it, all original so it’s nice to see they’re still some out there.
Been searching for 8th gen awd sedan content - very cool project!
Cant keep anything stock lol cant wait to see this project!
One day I’m gonna get my boy up here so we can go do Mexico 🇲🇽 shit lol
lol just found ya tonight! im re building my 08 civic 4door ex.. bout to slam it on ground after winter after seeing this im like WTF lol.. i got twins so broke build hope some get's it!!

Just ordered my merch. Have to support my tuner 😂. Now go finish my e tune so i can order my whp bbr stickers to match lmao.
We going to party! 🥳🥳
@BaderBuiltRacing lmao 🤣 moon tune
Civic awd content. 👌 . 8th gen love too is a bonus. I don't like the subframe design on the newer hondas but they are nice.
Josh, trust me on this one, get a hybrid racing master cylinder and slave cylinder for the clutch, to avoid all of the grinding and lockout problems with K series trans and the factory delay valves. 218 k on my fg2, and I can flat shift it all day.

Miss my 8th gen! Best year of the civic imo
My favorite part is getting a notification of your video I enjoy your content 👍
LFG the legend is BACK 🤑
Do k20head and k24 block
That’s what’s on the white ek.
Welcome back to TH-cam!
Probably the best merch design drop so far ✌️
Beyond psyched to see this project come together!
I see civic awd I click like
Glad to see you back. So you’re kind of doing what Devon did with his civic, correct?
Yes sir very similar tbh
Yes! I got you'll hoody. Much appreciated it from Texas.
AWD build is going to be sick
Finally bro!! Been gone for a min an left us all in the bleachers
Finally a video on the 8th gen civic Awd😂🎉
Love the Honda build
I would die for those mugen GP wheels. Do a simple wheel giveaway bro ;)
feels good to have a refreshing thing that no one did before... cant wait to see what's next!
Stoked about this build more than STI 😂😂😂❤
This is exactly what Josh needs another project LO.L can't wait to see it
Literally! Lol
You're ACTUALLY back!!
Keep em coming!
Pretty cool standard seats in it to
Yes. A Honda build 💪
Dude can't leave nothing alone. 😂
I have an addiction lol
Good color on that car.
Lmao I wish I had money like this
this is awesome !! giving me motivation for my 8th gen
were all glad ur back
Keep the greatness coming 🔥
this is absolutely huge! imagine a kraftwekrs supercharged AWD civic si🤔
Beautiful Si.
I missed a lot. Josh disappeared long enough to have a baby and comes back and all I see is an Audi and Lambo. Then he's doing an entire swap and build into a Civic.
I heard the AWD Crv subframe would work on it not sure
Stock sleeve k24 will hold 1k plus range I have 2 and been together years now simple block guard besides that sleeves untouched 🤙
8th gen sedans give me the same vibe as the narrow body WRX.
It's the odd one out of the group and disliked for the aesthetics.
A base 08 wrx, and 08 Civic SI are both fun budget cars.
Nah man ppl love the 8th gen sedans. Its the coupes majority of ppl dont like. Love my coupe tho even if its the ugly stepchild haha
He’s alive.
havent even watched the video yet. THIS is what i wanna see
ok now i want one
Finally videos. And I ordered one of them hoodies 🙌🏼
Hey Bader I always enjoy the Honda content! I have the 9th gen accord with CVT but do you know if that can be swapped for a normal auto to bolt up to my stock K24?
That I’m not sure of but seeing how often the k series engine is swapped it’s very possible someone make an adapter plate or can make one for you.
@ what is the adapter plate for
Hell yeah sick build can’t wait
I think I'll just keep my 10 FXT for the AWD duty. It would be fun though.
I own an 8th gen Si and this makes me think about what i could do to it.
This build will be fireeee
Yess keep it up
I have been watching your videos for awhile. I always wondered what size is the shop?
30x50 sir, thank you for the support!
I’m not sure on the year but the next car I will get will be a civic. I love my bug eye but it’s for play

YAY uploads!
Cmon Josh you know you’re gonna sleeve it, just do it for reliability purposes and be at peace of mind

Part out!
Price ?
Can't you use a Crv 2007-2011 sub frame?
I really want to see someone convert a FK8
devins done it
Devin already did....
@@insamniac7051 How the heck do people Follow Bader and not know Devin Niemela and his AWD, K24 Fk8?
