Hi guys, I would to do a k swap for my Integra dc2. I want to do budget build. Hopefully i can purchase the engine, transmission and other stuff. Lovely videos

[@LordHolley]

Love the video but K24a2 for $400?.....where? What track was that?

[@romper4444]

Man i cant even find an decent original b series to swap anymore. Breaks my damn heart. Really had my heart set on one more gsr ek hatch swap. Maybe a b20vtec is the only way now

[@michaelangelo5783]

They're all over, but they're $3,000 for a swap combo. At that price no reason to not go K since you can get a k24 tsx/6spd for $2600. Or lowball someone who built a car but has a rough/ugly shell and yank the drivetrain.

[@brentbillings1498]

In your fit test drive video I think you mentioned something about only being able to get a few pulls in due to heat soaking. In this video I notice you using the stock radiator, wouldn't that radiator be undersized for the larger engine? Or are Honda radiators interchangeable? Or maybe because this is intended for street use it's no big deal. I'm looking to learn more from professionals like you guys! I love your videos, I've picked up so much already!!!

[@bgee461]

how did i miss this??! 😮

The struggle is real! Working on it today and tomorrow.

[@da1stylz]

Howed that clutch hold up

[@romper4444]

This is so strange with the A4 block and A2 head swaps, ive literally done the same swap and it was close but didnt touch. Ive heard back and forth online of some people having it work and others not. So i wonder what is changing here that allows some to work? Which headgasket did you test with and was the vtc gear unloaded to 0 degrees? Update: ok rewatched, from what i could see you guys didnt use a head gasket, no wonder it touched! This was my conclusion, it wasnt the valves it was the pistons clearance to head and it is below min spec that a builder would want for clearance, BUT.... it works. Its a budget engine, if it runs it runs. I can't believe you guys went thru all that without testing with the headgasket! Lol

I've never written one for that engine. It's pretty similar though. What car?

[@nwhatchgalvin269]

I'd like to swap it into a DC integra

[@bucktownfg]

Needs a bigger header an exhaust an you'll benefit from those mods imo bringing more air in an not getting it out any quicker is most likely why you didn't gain anything from those mods. It's just an air pump, bad ass ride though appreciate the build an all the hard work guys

[@VTECAcademy]

I feel like the major problem was the catalytic converter.

k24a2 i see, why you say 160hp? and on dyno it does 160 at first. But the k24a2 has a vtec head and 190hp correct?

[@VTECAcademy]

200 actually. We had a K24A4 originally. 160HP. Sorry if I misspoke.

[@Almostboosted]

Are you going to paint the lip?

[@VTECAcademy]

Probably going to do a splitter and air dam.

[@rgreerjr]

Where in the world did he get these numbers from? k24a4 for $400, the cheapest Ive seen online is $899, transmissions damn near the same price, and a stock accord ecu around $200-$250. This has got to be a reupload of a video from like 10 years ago when the price of Honda parts was cheap and affordable.

[@VTECAcademy]

We bought it from Pull-n-Save in Phoenix AZ. That’s normal pricing and is still the same here. On a 50% off day I purchased 2009 TSX engine and 6-speed manual transmission for $300. The TSX head I used in the video cost me $60 if I recall.

[@matthewsmid8505]

These are numbers you get at a pick and pull junkyard. I live in SC and I can pull a full TSX K24A2 longblock for $300.

[@The_bigbo55]

Whats fascinating to me is that this well known tuner isnt thinking about the ways to really make HP and TQ numbers with a K24. Granted its a budget build, but dropping a K20 head on it and possibly some higher compression pistons, theres no reason it shouldnt make good numbers NA. Probably end up cheaper than FI as well.

[@jyt3408]

I wiah i could find those prices around me.

[@sr_performance]

VSS will never work because your using a 05-06 PND ECU with a transmission that is not 05-06 but rather 02-04. Its a 5 spd base ecu and should use the trans that have speed sensor in the front of transmission rather than by the differential. Trans with VSS in front of casing those would be considered countershaft driven (2005-06). Not sure in KTUNER. Also, the 05-06 ECUS hardware are different, that's why people use 02-04 then send ecu to hondata to modify to work with 05-06 trans and speed sensor. So basically if you were to get a 05-06 5 spd then you would be in business, but you would still probably need VSS converter for your older cluster.

[@VTECAcademy]

The KTuner has functions that allow it to work with the CSS. It also outputs a correct signal for the cluster.

But you are not recommending the 07 year K series. Any other year is not worth the money.. please do a K series the proper way vs having to rebuy a correct engine to save money vs doing this way that wot cost more down the road

We didn’t recommend one way or the other. Of course there are some engines better than others.
