Watching this episode now…. And he stated he loves that engine feel……… I think it’s because new cars you don’t get that feeling of being one, rolling through the gears and hearing the motor and intake not piped in…… it’s a visceral feeling a intertwining of human and machine singing together to the melody of high revs
YESSSS! Honda content! Wondering about using / partnering with an auction site when you sell your projects as a way to bring publicity to the channel as well as getting the fans into a bidding war lol. That civic really feels like hot rodding in that everything has been modified in some way.
k series 90's civics and integras are so much worth the fun! Yes, you hear everything, rattles, squeeks, feeling the road, it's very engaging and an experience. When it revs to the moon pulling all the way on a stock engine in a cheap car. Beat the crap out of it all day and she'll keep rippin! Also, my double wide aluminum radiator would never let the car get over 145 degrees. Very not good for the engine on the street to run that cold, the tune was a pain when it doesn't warm up all the way. I switched back to stock style radiator. Feeling like that car is worth $10k. Labor time doesn't really transfer into the sale price.
Wow 15,000 for that that is a bargain! I think it would be worth 15,000 just for the nostalgia. You guys definitely put more than $15,000 of parts and labour into that build.
I have a jdm k20a and 6spd lsd in my ‘00 em1. The sound and driving experience is amazing. VTEC through ktuned 4-1 and no cat is pure ear joy. Mine pulls hard in 3rd, I have dc5 type r trans and the gear ratios are super close, but it’s perfect it in the canyons… my build aside from interior is almost identical, ktuned everything with hasport mounts.
Yesss HONDA CONTENT!! I currently have an RSX Type S 2003 with 97k miles on it! All white! Stock! (I'm a girl) 💙 So K20 series is MY JAM! Love this!! Can't wait to see what you guys bring!! Amazing! Keep it up guys!
After you talked about how soft the engine is, you go into talking about the single stage thermostat in a large radiator and how it never gets up the operating temperature... If the motors never gettin warm than the ECU is probably pulling timing, running rich, and that's why you're down on power.
Finally! Been subscribed to you guys for years and haven’t clicked on a video in a loooong time. This is the type of build/car that is exciting to watch!!
I just inherited a 96 Civic that only had 25,000 miles on it. I can't WAIT to K swap this thing, it's already a blast with it's sub 100 horsepower. LOL
When Nick tuned it he did open header on his last run and produced 218 to the wheels. Maybe it needed a refresh on the valvetrain or valve lash. Idk but 218 and 144 tq is perfect for that light chasis.
@@MustangManV8 its not that much anymore. Motor mounts and kpro. And the swap. Dont go over board with the build just keep it simple. A stock k20 or k24 even the ones out of a crv with no vtec will be better than that shitty d lol. I kno some people love the d series but i think they are lawn mower motors lol
@@MustangManV8 labor aint bad just take your time and label everything. Its just a honda. Lol i have an 03 honda crv 5speed i swapped in a k24a2 out of a acura tsx and it wasnt that bad. Granted it alread had a k24 in it.
the leak at the end showed to much for honda people! I've seen other comments guess it already. 100% DC2 Type R. hands down one of my all time favorites. cant wait for the upcoming JDM content you guys. the supra, the r34, and the dc2 will be epic.
For similar quality stock/bolt on builds that I've seen on/around market place id say 9-11k Canadian, 7500-8500 usd is a fair price if it had built motor rods/pistons and or sleeves etc..13-15k+ Canadian all day
maybe the engine needs it's cams degree'd?😕 i have no experience with building a Honda yet and I'm curious to do one. looking forward to that DC2 build💪
Peter and DP, which car do you enjoy driving more, this Civic or the abandoned STI? Not as a daily, as something to enjoy driving. I’m very curious. Thanks
Man, tough call. Both super fun but in different ways. As much as I've enjoyed the STI, I have to go with the Civic because there's just something special to me (an old Honda kid) about a 90s Civic with a K20 in it. Takes me back to my roots in all the right ways.
K series oil filters make such a mess when changing them. If you use a Starbucks venti cup(iced) it fits over the filter and little oil cooler and will catch all the oil when changing it. You gotta try it.
I remember my civic coupe with a B18c and greddy kit.. I do t miss it at all.. I found this thing called RWD and 600+ wheel oh and V8s, great handling and no torque steer.. I'm 45 now no kiddy cars for me
Hey guys, great video. I have a 2015 civic ex sedan. what engine swap is common for my car? Most of the k20 swaps I see are for 7th and 8th gen civics.
Exhaust and Intake is why it’s soft. 3” exhaust, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and a 3” intake. 3.5” intake is too big for a stock K20. It barely made a difference on my build K24.
Funny, I watched a bunch of videos that said the exact opposite about the filters, basically Wix was the best but K&N performed the slightest bit better but basically didn't filter at all while Wix filtered incredibly and almost flowed as well as the K&N. Funny how that always happens. Now I'm questioning everything in my life. haha
Love this car. What kind of lower radiator hose it that? We are using the same K Tuned housing and the same radiator and ended up with a hose from 2005ish Chevy Malibu.

That was a nice 2-3-4 shift during that second pull! Effortlessly smooth!
No matter how far I go. Ill always remember the one that started it all for me. Hondas and Acura’s. Especially Civics and Integras.
I bought a 98 Honda Civic that I plan on k swapping. So watching videos like this has me so excited

Those faces after Vtec kicked in yo 🤣, your sales pitches are flawless!! Love you guys 🙏🏻
Y'all sound happier in this video, the energy is noticeably up! Looking forward to more Honda content!
Hondas = happiness when built right (which these 2 definitely know how to do, as evidenced in this video). Lol.
YESSSS! Honda content! Wondering about using / partnering with an auction site when you sell your projects as a way to bring publicity to the channel as well as getting the fans into a bidding war lol. That civic really feels like hot rodding in that everything has been modified in some way.
When I'm back from the navy I want to do something like this for my 95 accord. I want my Honda to last forever. Great video guys.
