I’m gonna vote for the J series, the lack of J swaps for EP3/EM2/RSX/FA5 etc, is very surprising, I’d wager the community would very much support a “group buy” of mounts to enable these swaps, k20c and l15b are cool, but not readily accessible as the J’s are
J in an ep3, I'd love to see it. Small turbo on a k20 could come close to the torque feel and be muuuch simpler to get running (and potentially make significantly more power), but the j would be an excellent motor in the ep3.

I think that job is going to go to the k20c4. The L15s are laughably weak when making anything more than 300whp/300wtq. And the cost to make more than 350whp shoots up exponentially as you run into fueling limits
i had one in a 10th gen SI and i absolute loved it, i think this would be a great swap for many Honda's. With the peak torque coming in so low it feels like a mini V8. I know it doesn't have V tech and its a lower rpm motor but they are going to be cheep, plentifully and they love mods with a huge aftermarket support.
j series would be fun i know personally im still waiting till 9th gen mounts start becoming more common place but been debating getting an 8th gen as a fun project soon.
I said J series last time, I'll say it again. As the owner of a manual transmission 2008 EX sedan, I would love to shoehorn a v6 under the hood. I'd also like to see an AWD converted 8th gen 👍🤙
K20C all day. Personally owned the L series motor in my SI and had nothing but issues with it. It’s a shame Honda even released it to replace the previous K series in most civics.
Feel the exact same way. You spend a lot of coin to make a reliable 350whp with the L15 when the k20c4 is within shooting distance of that with flex fuel and tune. Not to mention the way better low-end torque.
@@darkknight097 yup exactly. I sold my si for an accord with the c4. It’s such a good motor with crazy amounts of torque. Plus I don’t have to worry about reliability with it like the L series. I don’t think the L is ever going to catch on for being a go to swap.

I had a J30A4 (3.0L V6 NA) in my 7th Gen Honda Accord. Man that thing could put the power down nicely. Really loved to be revved, but the 5 speed auto didn't do it justice. I would love to see a "J" series stoked and an built with 20 psi of boost in a 11th gen Si.

While the J's are cheap and plentiful.. the 6MT for a J is not easy to come by. For that reason, I'd vote for the L15b7. They can make great numbers with tuning, although they are kind of a boring engine.
As someone who’s been spending over a year trying to get a j-series swap in my Miata, I have to give everyone a fair and advanced warning that it’t not an easy swap at all. I’ve needed a remanufactured intake manifold, an engine rebuild, a new flywheel, and dozens of other parts. I hope to get my car this weekend, but I don’t have my fingers crossed. Not saying not to do it, but there’s no such thing as an “easy swap”. Good luck to all builders out there
You're up against a lot more issues than this swap would be. No matter which generation Miata you have, you're going FWD engine to RWD car. V6 engine to I4 chassis. Even different manufacturers which might have different electrical connections and mean that all your sensor wires need new connectors...if you're even trying to use any of the factory harness at all. It would be nice to have a little more pep in the Miata though!
@@greasebeardsgarage You have no idea how many issues I've had, lol. I'd bought a kit from Minitec thinking that it would be a fairly simple swap, but it's been anything but. Hopefully it will be done soon, however.
@@greasebeardsgarage I saw a sweet GM 3800 power train swap from a Camaro into a Miata . Absolute torque beast . Low RPM Torque and HP . Exhaust note was exquisite.and throaty growl without being being overly loud .
L15 is common in the junkyard and I think its the average garage enthusiast's choice. makes reasonable power and lots of torque while also being pretty economical. not that many downsides to it when you want to keep the power levels relatively low
I speak for us all when I say J series is what we wanna see. Me having an 8th gen sedan, and wanting to see this done would be a huge inspiration and a good foot path to follow.
I’d love to see the k20c1 in the civic. Built engine and a turbo from the factory. Wouldn’t have to do much to it but put it in the car and enjoy it. Also the exhaust note of the c1 is exquisite
The J would be a marvelous pick! I can see why you’ve been wanting to do it, I didn’t think It could work or fit that well but man definitely will hold on to my 8th gen for this one day
J series please. I have J35 swapped Nissan Sentra B17 and I have been gunning this ride daily for over 5 years after the swap, and my friend just did it in his Toyota VIOS too! We need more Js!

It's been said before but J Series all the way. I personally love the torque on these motors. I had them both J and K series currently have a 05 RSX-S and taking delivery of my brand new 23 Si next month.
I will admit the J series would be a really cool wild swap but I'm really digging the L15. How nice would it be to have a later gen motor in an 8th gen body? Def a head turner.
Big engine in a little car is the original formula of hot-rodding. IMO it hits stronger visually then swapping in another 4pot with a turbo on it. Plus the J is a bulletproof engine with a glorious soundtrack. And who doesn't love all motor!
My vote is for the J swap, I really like the simplicity and reliability of those engines compared to the newer ones and I think it will probably be the quickest and most fun to drive since it has so much torque available instantly with no turbo lag. No replacement for displacement. And obviously a J series will be way easier to find and cheaper.

We're a little biased being we specialize in the J...but a J32A3 in that little car would book. We made 320whp/265wtq with ours, our PnP intake system, our HLP stage 2 cams, stock heads, FBO basically with small 2.5" dual mufflers dual resonators CBE and street tuned on Hondata. We easily walked Tuned bolt on 10th Gen Accord Turbos and that was in our 3400lb 7th Gen Accord. Like I said, were a little biased here LOL
As an owner of a j35 accord coupe with a manual I can say that you will not regret the decision on this drivetrain. Solid power all throughout the rpm range. My only qualm with my car is you can definitely feel the weight of the J series on the corners but it’s a strait line beast.
J series. That opens new possibilities. I agree that it's smart to make mounts for all the options as they are the future. J series excites me the most though.
I like the L15 & the K20C1 swap 4my 2008 Honda Element SC. I plan on upgrading to an EPS rack& pinion 2clear the engine bay of hydraulics. I plan on electrifying the HVAC to a heat pump. I didn't c u discuss locating the A/C compressor on either unit.
J mounts for 5th gen accord please 😭 I’d love to do a k20c1 but it would be a stretch for a company to make mounts for an accord since the market isn’t all that big compared to civics
I have an AWD Saturn with the 3.5 in it, and it's got an impressive power band going for it. Plenty of power to tow trailers and even vehicles over the pass in my case.

We made 320whp/265wtq with ours, our PnP intake system, our HLP stage 2 cams, stock heads, FBO basically with small 2.5" dual mufflers dual resonators CBE and street tuned on Hondata. We easily walked Tuned bolt on 10th Gen Accord Turbos and that was in our 3400lb 7th Gen Accord. Like I said, were a little biased here LOL

Jswap in this would be super neat. I'd even find myself and old 8th gen if I could get a clean Jswap in it with manual and LSD.
I vote for the k20c that always intrigues me. I think it would fit but it would turn the car into an absolute unit.
As an owner of a j35 accord coupe with a manual I can say that you will not regret the decision on this drivetrain. Solid power all throughout the rpm range. My only qualm with my car is you can definitely feel the weight of the J series on the corners but it’s a strait line beast.
Totally do the s-swap and mounts. Definitely would be interested in j swapping a 8th gen sedan.
J series
J series. That opens new possibilities. I agree that it's smart to make mounts for all the options as they are the future. J series excites me the most though.
Swap the j series.
It looks like the one here that we gotta do next.
I like the L15 & the K20C1 swap 4my 2008 Honda Element SC. I plan on upgrading to an EPS rack& pinion 2clear the engine bay of hydraulics. I plan on electrifying the HVAC to a heat pump.
I didn't c u discuss locating the A/C compressor on either unit.
The j
We agree!
J mounts for 5th gen accord please 😭 I’d love to do a k20c1 but it would be a stretch for a company to make mounts for an accord since the market isn’t all that big compared to civics
Greetings from Aruba, just bought a Ex coupe friday last…..
Love your page, really awesome ideas for engine swaps.
🤘🏼😁have a great new week head
I have an AWD Saturn with the 3.5 in it, and it's got an impressive power band going for it. Plenty of power to tow trailers and even vehicles over the pass in my case.
I really could use a video breaking down a k24a2 swap into 9th gen si keep up the quality work, guys
Don’t we have that? th-cam.com/play/PL9Qq92QbHKkjP9m4L0dpSoGMjadLldUeB.html
The fact these fit is incredible
I've been wanting to do a J series swap into an 8th gen civic ever since me and my wife owned one. It would surprise so many people
I vote K series but THIS IS AWESOME I OWN AN 8th GEN AND I'VE WONDERED ABOUT MOTOR SWAPS THIS VIDEO IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TY TY TY TY TY TY TY!!!
Appreciate all your hard work over the yrs with Hondas
