You've got to be careful with that kind of power I put on a "Chopped' sticker... and threw my timing belt the very next drive. No worries, non-interference. I suppose I could use another 5hp :-D
I could be wrong but he mentioned that they usually don't do installs, so it might just be a bunch of engineers who don't install unless its for a promo
Love those old Civics, last gen of proper toy cars. So fun and revvy. My friend tried and I tried to make an rwd crx but the project just stopped. sad :(
The quality of harness you got because you had AIM do it is amazing. Must feel good having extra peace of mind. Seen so many videos of builds making a harness then going back in to fix some bad wiring or lack of grommets cutting wires through firewalls.. ie fasterproms, boostedbois, cleetusmcfarland, motionautotv, bisforbuild, grindhardplumbingcompany, mightycarmods (when they attempt a haltech on their own), etc. etc...
I bought a 96 DX hatch (ek) For my first project car (20yo) It's B18 swapped now. :) Thank you Ben for inspiring me to pursue my dream of owning and working on an old Civic.
What impressed me was the custom harness. That was amazing work. Now to be real I was disappointed by your teaser about racing but you are a T.V. show. Thus you have to let us know what is coming. ;)
That's one heck of an upgrade and definitely a helpful tool when it comes to dialing in the driver mod! ;) After this year is done, looking forward to a running total of costs video ;)
God you're lucky not having to deal with emissions down in that part of VA. Its easily one of the crappy things of having to worry about up here in NOVA. Awesome to see this car get built like this and along the way! Looking forward to future vids!
That's next level stuff can't wait to see you put it into use temperature sensors on the tires is brilliant the GPS is good I wonder if they could actually track the lines you followed on the track to see if you can improve your position of the car with suspension monitoring also?
This is pretty high on the list of places I did not expect to see my lap data, lol. It looks like you're picking up the software pretty quickly though, good to see!
Bryc Talley? Sorry The Anchorman references won't be shared but they are going through my head right now...I'm sure you're a highly intelligent and nice person so please don't take that personally. Damn, I love this build and where you are taking your Type R with track GT racing. Much luck to you and your success at racing.
Short Ben: "I won't get a nice bezel cause I'm cheap" Also Short Ben: "You could've gotten 90% of the performance on this swap for 50% of the price." yes I know it was for a reason
Yum yum, a well fitted gadgeted civic?? A hatchback JDM??? Sounds fun!! But i would have went with beauty which is G35 and make it super gadgeted just like this civic!! Also i would have went with AEM CD7..a big screen so that i dont have to peep in small screen..
I remembered the episode when this guy wanted to restore this car and just wanted it to be a proper looking EK9 type r, he also mentioned that he wanted to do a 5 lug and that's about it. Now, assuming everyone told him "Go faster, you'll be quicker at the lap they said".. Now with all these mods and custom fabrications that Ek9 with B16B OEM looking civic project is thrown out the Window.. Sad really..
for a double wishbone setup for both front and back, it's weird that you're on two wheels around the turn. it's not getting enough suspension travel and I'm not seeing the wheels toeing-in and maintain contact when one side is lifting up. I think a progressive setup is the best...but need some good shocks to take care of the soft part of the compression. If done right, you're barely going to need those LSD to power out of the turn.
I’m kinda getting lost on the build here, don’t get me wrong I love the channel and the builds. But who’s being marketed to? Lol the digital dash is $2300! That’s 2-3 civics maybe more, for that you can just go wirewhere for a 4th that cost and still be extremely satisfied.
sheet metal is fine...shiny surfaces howerver, are no fun. Should at least paint it to keep reflections out of your eyes if the sun or light source is behind/to the side. Personally, I love the look of simple analog gauges...Id have the AIM elsewhere and have most of the added sensors in a cluster of analog gauges (with digital signals obviously). Still, this Civic is a pristine example of how to build one..even without a K swap, the styling is simple but effective and the cars performance oriented. All its goodies are mostly unseen by the public, which is how i build most of my car! Caint wait to see this thing on the track!
Save your time with iPad dash command. Don’t need a cluster anymore, and had everything you need to know about your car for free. Just plug into the OBD port
Everyone: does RGB and stickers make you faster ?
Short Ben : Absolutely
I heard Ben really likes stickers.
5 hp per sticker!! ... science :p
Lol the gridlife stickers are all required for the time attack class
You've got to be careful with that kind of power I put on a "Chopped' sticker... and threw my timing belt the very next drive. No worries, non-interference. I suppose I could use another 5hp :-D
This has to be one of the cleanest and well moded civics on TH-cam
Zosh integra is cleaner than this..check him out
No, its the most clean civic.
RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom damn why you gotta do me like that. 🤣🤣
A well polished turd
@@frank12777 that's rude
Cameron’s mustache is what secured my already confirmed like on this video. Good stuff
Ben is losing hella weight. You look good man!
he says it's for his health, but we all know it's weight reduction (bro!) for better track times.
@@esh92 "Side effects of weight loss may include: Faster lap times"
@@GearsandGasoline lol
Weight reduction 💀
He can’t afford food after doing the K-Swap
Drilling the hole to make it larger, no worries. But he hits the boot lid and strips the paint, that's the cringe part.
track car. who gives a shit
@@VS666 still, not really professional.
100% agree 🤣🤣
I could be wrong but he mentioned that they usually don't do installs, so it might just be a bunch of engineers who don't install unless its for a promo
Stepdrill anyone?
Doing such things on camera while working for a named company, very unprofessional i think.
Short Ben has an advantage... he is more lightweighter than Tall Ben
Short Ben is the superleggera of Bens.
lol
And has a lower center of gravity 😂👍
No necessarily lol
Lightweighter? Lol I guess you’re right.
Love those old Civics, last gen of proper toy cars. So fun and revvy. My friend tried and I tried to make an rwd crx but the project just stopped. sad :(
I always wondered if these things could read from the factory ECU! That's awesome! I'm surprised more people don't do this.

I absolutely love seeing the stories on ig about the builds and what’s going on in real time
The fact that you can customize where the icons are and how they look on the digital dash is super dope. Just like a video game.
We use an AiM display just like that one in our formula student and we are pretty happy with it.
I swear the first TH-camr that didn't go haltech
Cool stuff. Im from Blacksburg. Neat to see people local in the tube.
What impressed me was the custom harness. That was amazing work. Now to be real I was disappointed by your teaser about racing but you are a T.V. show. Thus you have to let us know what is coming. ;)
Perfect! This was super well done and very informative, especially as I have been looking at going digital dash and start doing time attack myself.
You could make a video titled “Filling my Window Wiper Fluid” and I would click just a fast because I know you always make great content
Accurate
Lmfaoo
Simp
That's one heck of an upgrade and definitely a helpful tool when it comes to dialing in the driver mod! ;) After this year is done, looking forward to a running total of costs video ;)
That dash monitor is pretty sweet! All the info you ever need!
"Bryc" from Stuck in the Middle?😆 When was the last time I heard that name😄
Did he just drill into the paint??!
Ouch. Ikr?
Yes...
Oof.. Unprofessional job there..
Lots of people are hating on the set up but i think it looks great. Its a clean track car 👍
Never clicked on a video so fast. I always loved this mod!
Man I always love how cinematic your videos are I've gotta watch on the big screen every time like a movie
wow, i want this cool looking digital dash, check ebay.
okay im still fine with my analog old style dash. .
Price ?
@@danlewis3185 $2.3k. He posted a link to it in the description.
That blue line on the graph was tall Ben.
Lol it was not.
Best under the radar advertising in TH-cam's history.
You so you never see them manscaped ads ?
@@marquisethomas5611 no
@@pavelk554 of course not
Ben is going to destroy the trackdays after this as he got better and better. Keep it up man!!

YES the GPS will do just that. Speed, lap times, recorded driven line, 3axis G force calculations
You didn't pull off the protective sticker off the dash screen... shame.
He must be Chinese. Same shit my girl does.
Such a badass dash! Love that you are tracking the EK civic on a road course!
Wow. Awesome display and software
Had an awesome time chasing you in my c5! Can believe how fast that ek is in the straights!!!
I have definitely seen your k swap civic video 👍😄
Ive been want for more on this civic, ive watch the build for 3 times already
Is it me or did these guys have 50k subscribers like last week... proper channel!
Yeassss the aim strada street dash is the shit
I want the ka sensors dual temp/pressure for my Subaru. Would clean up my bay.
Nice addition
Digital dash looks good.
This is pretty high on the list of places I did not expect to see my lap data, lol. It looks like you're picking up the software pretty quickly though, good to see!
Probably going to add this to my '16 Fiesta ST
Ben lost weight . Good shit man 🤟

Been watching the k swap build over 4 months. Be nice to see it drive
The music is way too loud in all your videos. Besides that I love everything about your videos
Advice for people that want a digital dash: get a fueltech: it is a dash, standalone ECU and its super modular
People with Honda’s don’t use fueltech Generally.
Been a while dude. Nice work and keep them coming.
Wicked build man. Came out great
Let’s see some street runs against other cars.
Haven’t watched these guy in a year and holy shit, my nigga got skinnier. Good job pal!
Should of went to Mako Performance in Australia for aftermarket dash inserts which can be recessed so the digital displays sit flush 👌
That’s awesome.. reminds me of the s2k cluster. Nice!
That's super cool! But all I was looking for is a simple digital upgrade to my analog instrument cluster ha
Mount front tire temp above tire so there is consistent amount of tire in sensor view if you can
0:35 A K-TUNED STICKER! FRIGGIN FINALLY
Dude AIM is like 10min from my house. Had no clue till now. Lol
That is some very cool tech!
Nooooiice work Ben! That was a fun day at the office!
I wish companies would make a non-branded varient for DIY and restomod/restoration builds
Ayyyyy Roanoke gang
Ah yes I was looking for a digital dash for my 95 civic I've also heard that a S2K dash works too
It works, but can it track your lap data?
@@GearsandGasoline nah 😂 all I've heard is that it looks cool
Did Ben lose weight himself to make his Honda go faster? Looking great man!
Short Ben: "I won't get a nice bezel cause I'm cheap"
Also Short Ben: "You could've gotten 90% of the performance on this swap for 50% of the price."
yes I know it was for a reason
Function over form!
was just in roanoke... grew up there

I see Ben has also been unable to get a haircut recently. I feel ya bro.
It's more about a lack of time to get a haircut than the ability to get one haha
Gears and Gasoline not going to lie the longer hair suits you more imo
I think you could have did the integra type r gauge cluster modern look but still classic
This is SO cool !!

They should make EZ Swap Packages for Toyotas too.
ngl I want that for a daily just because you can customize to look however you want. thats fuckin dope
Dude, Ben not letting Covid-19 stopping him from working out 💪
an s2k steering wheel would look perfect
I love the old Type R speedo though...

run a resonator or 2 an remove the muffler ......great sound
Looking healthy, Ben!
I know that it's not,but that looks like a really well made advertisement for Aim
wouldn't it have made more sense to mount the gps sensor where the antenna hole is?
I think i'd skip the GPS sensor thing, and get a speed signal from the gearbox instead.
The GPS sensor is for track positioning and lap times
@@GearsandGasoline And it was abselutely impossible for it to work from inside the car? :/
Love these kinds of videos
Now I want one!
hi nice dash install
Me: I want it!
Also me: *looks at price* nvm.
Why don't they make bigger displays? Or even odd shape displays for specific vehicles?
sheet metal is fine...shiny surfaces howerver, are no fun. Should at least paint it to keep reflections out of your eyes if the sun or light source is behind/to the side.

hah! i literally paused to comment..should have finished watching. 10 seconds later he's painting it flat black! hahaha...
Love your channel. Keep it up
Ben, you could honestly sell this civic for 20k. I would buy it.
That's a sweet dash!
love this series
need a magnifying glass to read that lol
shoulda went with AP1 dash and just used a phone app
Are you doing a fun street car or a straight up race car, I swear the next video is gonna be you cutting up the interior with a angle grinder.
Can you set up a warning light that says DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!! When your going to fast
That's only in evos
Loving this video
