Best and last true Si.........

[@kingsdrumming]

So nice. Literally everything I've wanted to do to my 2010 fg2. 👏 Great build man

[@kingsdrumming]

If you ever wanna sell it please lmk lol

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks man. I was always into the older civics when i was younger, but i couldn't afford to do what i wanted. This is my first k-series

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

This is the last great SI. Very clean.

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks. It's not perfect, but it's in great shape overall

[@Solidongo]

Simple and clean 🔥

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks.. also ... its fun!

[@Solidongo]

​@@hairnbeardhow much inches did you drop the front and back

[@hairnbeard]

Probably 2in. It is d2 coilovers. I adjusted the rear all the way up then measured front to match

[@einzigkeit7216]

Very nice clean Civic and good choice of aftermarket parts. The steering wheel looks very nice . For the caliper I guess you need to add at least 2 X coat of good quality primer before the base coat. What radio model number is it? I would repaint the intake silver and valve cover black. Gloss carbon fiber mirrors would look very nice. Thanks to share it.

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks. Sorry I don't remember model and my son has the car now. I purchased it on crutchfield.com

[@NARRISS]

Very Clean Coupe! 💯

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks so much

[@Josean-st7uo]

Anybody know the offset on the rims ?

[@SantiagoLopez-gf8ep]

What a nice car. Quick question I have a 2009 si k20 and they did an engine swap for a k24. Did you have to change the motor mounts or keep the originals? I'm having problems with mine. The oil pan is hitting the chassis.

[@eldjalfredo1]

Ofc you gotta change the motor mounts

[@hairnbeard]

You need crv passenger mounts and washers on the torque mount

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks so much

[@Kseriesftw]

Red badge? Cmon that’s the sheeet mang 😂

[@joshd8894]

Hey did you need to change anything in the k20z3 head or the k24a block in order to run them together? Someone told me I needed to run a specific shorter rod or piston in order to do it, only reason I haven't done it yet is because idk much about the swap. Thanks

[@crackshotmcgee9588]

Pulling my 07 fa5s k20 that I put a hole in last week a state over from you. Was going to use my head but once I got into it the pistons impacted the valves so I'm going to have to source a different k20z3 head. I got an rbb2 k24a that I'll be using the block from. Quick question. I know I need a crv post mount, but will the same motor mount work with that post mount of do I need a different mount as well? Currently have hasport 70a mounts. I just can't remember lol

[@jackbuercklin]

Just did this with my FA5 😊❤

[@mr.adventure559]

Nice car, but that hideous steering wheel would have to go if it was my car. That would be my change back to the original wheel.

[@hairnbeard]

Great to know

[@jmspnnll122011]

Check your passenger seat connectors I heard they come loose sometimes

[@hairnbeard]

Thanks for the tip

[@jmspnnll122011]

@@hairnbeard No problem man 🙏🏼

[@alfredoventura4727]

Hi, i got 2 questions, 1 the steering wheel adapter for the controls did you have to cut the wires ? And k20z3 head bolt right to the k24 block without any modifications?

[@hairnbeard]

No cutting wires. It unplugs then I rerounted in new wheel. K20 bolts to k24

[@BOYYOUSTOOPID]

Hey man. Just curious did you have a random misfire at idle? Any black soot from your exhaust? Literally have damn near the same set up: k20z3 head k24a2 block, tsx cam, arp head studs,kings main and rod bearings. Trying to figure out my own misfire. Swapped coil pack, new plugs, head was refreshed by a shop….was going to check fuel trim? Maybe see if valve lash was off. Please lend me your advice and thank you

[@BOYYOUSTOOPID]

Also have a type s oil pump as well

[@hairnbeard]

Sorry to hear that, i didnt have any problems. It started right up and has ran great since. Did you set tdc when installing chain? Did you swap all sensors? I did my valve lash also. All intake valves were off a little.. exhaust valves where perfect. Make sure all sensors are plugged in. The black exhaust is hopefully just from condensation building up while not running (hopefully it went away)

[@hairnbeard]

I would Pull spark plugs and look at them. (Check timing?) Do you have any codes? Pull maf sensor while running, if it stalls sensor is good, if it keeps running sensor is bad. Is intake tight? Check for air leaks. How is your idle? Start simple

[@CamiloBarajas-g5b]

@@hairnbeardhow do you mean pull maf Unplug it Or Remove from the intake plenum

[@hairnbeard]

Unplug

[@tigerrider6711]

How’s the vibration is it still a good daily?

[@PandaMan125]

Can you go more into detail about the washers on rear mount. I tried that but my header are still hitting...

[@hairnbeard]

You added 5 washers which would mean you also changed the bolts? Is your header seated properly? You also might need to push heat shield in as much as possible

[@PandaMan125]

@@hairnbeardI think it currently has 4 washers on each bolt. The header is hitting the frame not the heat shield? And pretty sure its seated properly

[@hairnbeard]

I corrected my last comment. You need to add 5 half in washers to each bolt.. that will make the bolts to short. Replace bolts with intake cam bolts from any k series

@@hairnbeard the ones on the gear? Or the caps?

[@TheJkrouse88]

What oil pump do you have?im doing the same swap right now but not sure if I get a type s pump if it will be a deep enough pick up from 24 bock to z3 pan

[@hairnbeard]

Type s. Yes it works with the z3 oilpan. Make sure you get type s windage tray also

[@MikeyFa5]

What dip stick did you end up using? 24 or the 20?

[@glenglene8473]

I wonder the same, if you use K20 dip stick, you need to add additional quart of oil.

[@lazy336]

Did you have to use the crv post mount or Hasport universal post mount?

[@hairnbeard]

I used crv post mount.. you need hardware also

[@brandonazevedo4494]

what is the k20 head code?

[@hairnbeard]

I don't know, it's the stock k20z3 head

[@screwedupcivic2285]

What's the wheel specs??

[@hairnbeard]

Sorry i dont know, they came on the car, but they have stock spec. tires and 17's so i would think 17x7. Tires are 215 45 r17
