I had traction issues like that.....then I got slicks ..my god what a difference. Really think its a great investment. Only my opinion.....I'm digging the 1-2 burnout.
Bro, it's called a google search. Lol. Whatever you do don't go to the Honda forms and ask this question, they'll roast you!! I used an 08 TSX k24a2 motor in mine and kept the ep3 5 speed, cr-v passenger motor mount, use the ep3 sensors and harness, karcepts throttle body adaptor, if you're trying to use the factory TSX exhaust manifold that's going to hit the sway bar(some just run without it, I've read that a em2 front sway bar, tho smaller diameter will work), you're going to need the ep3 upper idler pulley to go in place of the TSX power steering pump, and you're going to need k-pro. This is probably one of the easiest k-swaps you can do.
+peladetoparati So its the front sway bar that makes the front jump hard like that? I heard some company used to make a type of under body brace to help out with that but they are long gone apparently. I hate how my car does what this guys does in this video...
+name less Don't believe everything you read online. I don't think it has to do with sway bar. "sway" is for left and right. Although it is tied to the left and right wheels hopping. It's most likely wheel hop from motor mounts or clutch not grabbing. You have to find the sweet spot to launch the car. I've never had that problem. You need a steady foot. You have to feel the car to see if you need to use less or more throttle.
Im brand new to cars and customizing them but I'm eager to learn. I want to start by swapping the k20a3 out of my 05 EP3 but I'm not sure whether I should go with the K20A2 or the K24A2. I want to build one of those up for drag and to put a turbo system in.
Omg I really want a 07 K24a2 in my EP3. Is the 08 Si MT a good choice for the swap? And is there more work to be done for it to fit? My synchros are all fucked up on my EP3 right now.
+Giuseppe Gagliardo just try to feather the gas pedal off the launch, your losing a lot of time there, .1 in the 60 foot will give you .2-.3 in the quarter, also try shifting without letting off the gas
+Bruce Bruce thanks for tge advice. This vid was taken less than a week after the swap. The reason for the exaggerated burnout was my buddie was taking picts so I wanted some smoke in the pics. lol
+crazyfool4578 you've been sterotyped and mythalized. If you've played racing games with the steering wheel, this car should be natural. I played a lot of Gran Turismo and Initial D when i was young so this shifter was natural.
I wonder, If I get the k24A2 its a direct Bolt in on my 04 Si EP3? the engine comes from a 2006 TSX, Like I can use all the parts? ECU, Trans, Mounts, Only changing the Bare Engines using my k20A3 Admision and sensors?
@crazy, The swap prob ran me about 2000 all together. I ran a 15.1 with this run, im sure with better tires/slicks the time wouldve been about a 1/2 sec to a seconnd better.. The car was also untuned.
You can't run good times at Island lol...what did you trap? I currently have a h22a prelude that has 320k miles so I'm considering getting an ep3 however it would have to be swapped like this. I'm still not sold on the k-series for n/a power though, I trap around 100 consistently with a completely stock untuned h22 in a heavy lude. I do like how short these gears are though, seems like a lot of fun if not particularly quick
I was using an Hybrid racing speed converter. Didn't work very well, if I were to do it again id modify the transmission to accept the oem style speed sensor.
+Giuseppe Gagliardo man i want a k24a2 swap soooo bad!!! but it would be irresponsible of me if i did so, and thats the only thing holding me back...i got my hands dipped in too much other shit..
@@ggphotographyny Algood man haha, you were literally having to move your hand to see ya revs xD its cool dw, such a nice OEM wheel with perfect 3-9 thumb notches.

Same color as mine! Never seen another gold EP3
Damn I love the sound
can you post up everything needed for this swap plz, harness mounts exhaust manifold etc thanks

can you solve world hunger and fix America’s debt plz etc thanks
Im using an Ep3 Dc Race header. My redline is at 7600. Car will be tuned very soon at Xenocron
I recommend taking off the front sway bar for better 0to60 times so it wont jump as much

Got the same set up k24a2 in an ep3 makes 240 hp on stock k24 rbc mani 3 inch exhaust.
Next i wanna do the type s oil pump 50 degree vtc 410cc injectors maybe lsd 6spd down line.
I used a Hybrid racing speed converter. Works perfect
Wheel fucking hop!
Took care of it now with some LCA bushings.
Are u running poly bushings or spherical bearings?
RSXEEaznPEELOUT I'm running Energy Suspension Poly Bushings.
How do you like 'em?
They help alot. I'd recommend getting them if yours are worn.
any pro driver would have a tidfit over how he drives. :/
Really laid into the throttle.
K24 swap is the best swap you can do all around, more torque than any k20 could ever produce
K32a1 is better too!!!
yeah I don't think that exists
Tony D he probably talks out of his ass, or he means the k23a1 from a RDX
Tony D he probably talks out of his ass, or he means the k23a1 from a RDX
that's the turbo one, i'm sure you already know but if would be fun to drive something swapped with it in it. that would be sick to drive one!
this is my dream engine
I have a Buddy Club short shifter, maybe that's why.
Yeah bolts right up!
Bro that black ep3 looks exactly like mine besides the wheels and tires.
That wheel hop will blow the ever living piss out of the transmission if you keep doing it.
AcuraLvR 82 Wheel hop was fixed with stiffer mounts and better suspension.
Thanks in advance
looks like fun. I need to swap mine
what was your time slip?
nice
Love it
Pure fucking RICE lolol
...
Nice pull

K24a2 is definitely the way to go.
+camas77721 yea and make sure its 06-08 k24a2...
Many thank yous for all of the helpful comments everyone.
camas77721 k20a2 i have 02 ep3 swapped, its perfect!
Fellas are we looking at the jdm k20a2 or the regular one?
sick ep3. Just don't like how you're holding that steering wheel. safety first.
Driving technique has improved since this video.
MONICA !!!
You didnt win nigga!
Driver mod needed desperately
LSX KING Thanks for the advise, but at this point you’re 7 years late.
Omg I really want a 07 K24a2 in my EP3. Is the 08 Si MT a good choice for the swap? And is there more work to be done for it to fit? My synchros are all fucked up on my EP3 right now.
Wow did you do the work yourself and how much was the parts?
Way yo bang of the rev limit, crappy take off also
Thanks for the advice.
Np just keeping it real.
+Deiby Lopez what the fuck does that even mean? do you usually have trouble keeping it real and you have to say it?
Nice run ! Do you have the rbc IM and 50vtc on this swap ?
1CG Frank Yes, on this run I had both.
Exactly what do you mean by "style"? Are you referring to the shifter, if so its actually very comfortable
nice 2002 civic si ep3
So much wheel hop
I use to smoke every Honda with a 95 Saab 9000aero.but yeah spinning ain't winning
do you have solid mounts in that?
yeah bolted right up
Why are using the e brake to launch? Is this normal I've never used it to launch
lol you need a driver mod
Thanks for the advice.
I agree
This year I'll post a redemption video for you guys.
+Giuseppe Gagliardo just try to feather the gas pedal off the launch, your losing a lot of time there, .1 in the 60 foot will give you .2-.3 in the quarter, also try shifting without letting off the gas
+Bruce Bruce thanks for tge advice. This vid was taken less than a week after the swap. The reason for the exaggerated burnout was my buddie was taking picts so I wanted some smoke in the pics. lol
Wheel hop. Need traction or launch a lower than that
First few weeks of this having this car did the shifter feel weird at all? Just curious cause I'm thinking of getting one
I love the shifter position, it's very close to the steering wheel.
+crazyfool4578 you've been sterotyped and mythalized. If you've played racing games with the steering wheel, this car should be natural. I played a lot of Gran Turismo and Initial D when i was young so this shifter was natural.
bro yu should deff get a traction bar to prevent the wheel hop
I wonder, If I get the k24A2 its a direct Bolt in on my 04 Si EP3? the engine comes from a 2006 TSX, Like I can use all the parts? ECU, Trans, Mounts, Only changing the Bare Engines using my k20A3 Admision and sensors?
No you’ll need Kpro, and a Crv post mount. Check out the ephatch.com forum for more information.
why does the shifter look lower than stock? in 1st gear it looks like its in 2nd gear
How much did u spent on the whole swap ??
I have Avid 75a mounts.
so did the k24 bolt on good on the trans?
Was that swap hard to do?
Which gopro mount are you using?
It's a suction mount from GoPro.
Did you have the modify the wire harness when u did the swap???
Ronald Brooks nope. Use the ep3 harness and transfer some sensors over. There's a write up on Ephatch.com.
Giuseppe Gagliardo thanks man. I'm looking into getting a k24a2 but the kpro is going to be my downfall for now until I can afford it.
Ronald Brooks check out the Ephatch.com or Ep3 Buy/Sell/Trade pages on Facebook.
i'm actually on both the ephatch.com and buy/sell xD
Its a night and day diffrence
did you turbo it stock?
What shifter box and cables u used
Buddy Club Short Shifter, factory cables.
@crazy, The swap prob ran me about 2000 all together. I ran a 15.1 with this run, im sure with better tires/slicks the time wouldve been about a 1/2 sec to a seconnd better.. The car was also untuned.
what were the numbers?
What was your time ?
Bravo. Però tieni le mani sul volante
thanks bud
Holy hell man.fix that wheel hop.
scooter boy30 Was fixed with stiffer mounts after this video. Roughly 6 years ago.
@@ggphotographyny is the k24a2 a drop in thing.outher than the ecu
scooter boy30 Needs a Crv motor mount bracket, but other than that it’s bolt it. Check out ephatch.com for some swap info threads.
what was the time?
You can't run good times at Island lol...what did you trap? I currently have a h22a prelude that has 320k miles so I'm considering getting an ep3 however it would have to be swapped like this.

any new updates to your EP3?
it's supercharged on 12psi now. Still haven't made it back to track since this vid.
Awsome setup,but that driving "style" looked annoying
I got an 06 rsx type s now. soso k20z1
Some poly mounts would have done you right when you swapped it...best 25 dollar while your in there mods the is
Jaayraaay This was on Avid 75a mounts.
How u get the trans to work. Like the wire and vtec
I was using an Hybrid racing speed converter. Didn't work very well, if I were to do it again id modify the transmission to accept the oem style speed sensor.
Why is that. The vtec not working ?
I want told to use the k tune one.
so you can pretty much swap any k series into this model civic si?
honda = honda no matter what
pretty much anything on the K series family.
Yup Avid 75a
do it bro
What was your 2 step set as?
6500
You can take the racer out of the street, but you can't take the street out of this racer
lol.
+Giuseppe Gagliardo man i want a k24a2 swap soooo bad!!! but it would be irresponsible of me if i did so, and thats the only thing holding me back...i got my hands dipped in too much other shit..
fuck priorities
Try and see if you can get 1 made bro
Did u ever get tuned? Hp?
Liorsx Car was never tuned all motor.
Maybe if you didn't jam second like you're driving an LS 2nd wouldn't spin.
... then says k series transmissions are weak.
motor mounts....
Or it’s a drop in and go
might be the worst launch I have ever seen
ummm cool swap but that wheel hop was brutallll...
I have it under control now, Avid 75a mounts and poly front Lca bushings did wonders.
+Giuseppe Gagliardo supposedly the torque damper eliminates wheel hop and spin...look it up..its an aftermarket part made for hondas with K series
They dont make one for my car :(
Nahhhh
17 secs smh
This was the first pass on the car. I will post an updated video of my current setup soon.
to much hop
jesus CHRIST learn proper hand placement!! that is horrible!
Thank you, I could’ve used this advice 8 years ago.
@@ggphotographyny Algood man haha, you were literally having to move your hand to see ya revs xD its cool dw, such a nice OEM wheel with perfect 3-9 thumb notches.
Slow asf car
Still just as slow today.
