Glad Brian was there to show em how it's done. Excited for more budget k23 content

This channel Is soooooo under rated. Like frfr I’m sick of it. Why no one wanna give these people Their respect. Wake Up. I’ve learned more Here than any school

[@Mr.SeanCombs]

What? Plenty of people respect them. I don’t think anyone is actively campaigning against him

[@VTECAcademy]

That’s why we’re here. To educate.

[@n00blike]

I was sad they didn't include you more on the video. You guys have a lot of great info.

[@VTECAcademy]

Appreciate your support! Thank you for watching. We were there to offer our experience to help out, so to even be in their video at all was just icing on the cake. Maybe we should challenge their EG with one of ours?

[@mf1ve]

@@VTECAcademy Absolutely you should.

[@cararule9258]

Yes

[@accoRding2Joel]

When I saw you pop in the video I may or may not have jumped and cheered like a little girl!

[@VTECAcademy]

LOL

[@aaronphx420]

I was so excited to see Brian come and school the boys at Donut…he’s a pure Honda veteran :-) I remember seeing him at speedworld (99-2000ish) with his Blue Honda Insight that said Hasport on the sides. It was awesome.

[@VTECAcademy]

Hahaha! Wish speedworld was still open!

[@ProjectCarJunkie]

Super cool when we saw you in their video. Great video, Great colab 👍🏽

[@desperado165]

I was siked to see you on there. Legend!!

[@alomechanthasinh4079]

Team Hasport is the GOAT

[@twitchykun]

Brian, I'm glad you're showing us your POV. We know those Donut guys can be a bit loud and such, so seeing things from your perspective is nice. And I'm still mulling over your suggestion to make my RSX an AWD monster.

[@VTECAcademy]

I need to start converting ours to AWD.

Had one of the earliest K swapped cars as my first car.. Bought it back in 05/06 w. Full roll cage, Aem ems ecu, type r spindles/koni yellow suspension etc... For $6800!! Not sure when it was built exactly, but i believe there is a write up on hondatech somewhere. Engine only had like 20k original miles. (Built by Cody at Lovefab) I wish i had video of the reactions it got at meets, it was crazy. To put it into perspective, I debated trading it for a clean mk4 Supra, but declined. At the time, you could get one for $11,000, but finding a K swapped car in general (Especially under 11k) was slim to none.

[@DustyLouis-le8kj]

I k20/24 swapped my ej1 all off VA info I love their channel, as for being for the tuner enthusiast, no channel competes! Thanks for everything VA!

[@VTECAcademy]

That’s awesome! That’s why we do it. Thank you for watching.

[@MarkMyWordsXx]

I believe you can make any exhaust "fully customizable," as you said. You can cut or weld anything you like

[@bobski3333]

Brian, you have your radiator fan switch thought process backwards. If coolant is coming back from the radiator cool, then the radiator is doing its job adequately and no additional air flow is needed. If it's coming back hot, then the radiator is heat-soaked and either doesn't have enough air flow (car stopped or moving very slow) or is under-sized for the heat load (which the fan can't fix). To detect heat-soak, the switch needs to be on the cold side of the radiator. BTW, radiator fans are a fart in a hurricane compared to the air coming through the grille at anything above 15mph or so. That's why the A/C suddenly works so much better when the car starts rolling, even though the fans are running. If you think it's compressor speed, try pushing the idle up to ~2k rpm next time you're stopped at a light.

[@VTECAcademy]

If that is the case, then why does Honda put the radiator fan switches in their cars either at the lower hose or at the bottom of the radiator. Honda is looking to see if the car needs air to cool the radiator. If the car is moving, then the switch isn't likely to turn the fans on.

[@bobski3333]

@@VTECAcademy Most of the time, the lower hose is the cold return. I'll admit, I'm a CRX and 4/5/6G Civic guy, some light work on a few L15s, never touched a K. All the B, D, H, F I've looked at have that hard pipe across the back of the engine block. That's the water pump suction tube. The other end has the thermostat housing, so everything that connects to the thermostat housing is a suction/return port.

[@manlb9254]

How did the Ridgeline perform towing that civic? Do you have a large atf cooler?

[@VTECAcademy]

No issues. If we do it a lot I may add a bigger cooler.

[@ammonhansen6459]

I have ran a normal cold air intake in my k swap and my intake temps get really high in the 160s while my hybrid racing one they are 115s. Definitely keeps the temps down.

[@DustyNutz516]

ive always had this question. cant you just splice the body harness to work with a stock k20 or k24 harness and ecu? without using hondata or k-pro or k-tuner? there has to be a way right?

[@VTECAcademy]

Yes, but that is beyond most people's skill set. You can especially do it with the JDM Type R ECU. It is much easier.

[@DustyNutz516]

i mean it should be simple right? the only thing you’d have to mess with is the outside fuse box wiring and the engine harness plug to the fuse box wiring. and whatever you gotta do with the immobilizer. i can also assume its much cheaper then getting a tune and k-tuner

[@VTECAcademy]

@@DustyNutz516 It is much cheaper. Most people don't have the necessary skills or information to do the work.
