Engine swapping in a weekend. K24 EP3

[@DimZin]

It took forever to bleed the coolant system because the front was on jack stands and the radiator's neck was no longer the highest point

[@AdamB12]

Nice. Giving the EP3 the engine it deserves.

[@jackyyeung7903]

Thank you for making some EP3 content! We need more!!!!

[@ShotByDale]

Working on it! if nick stops buying new projects maybe we can race it.

[@jtorres2365]

Awesome video 💯💯

[@pepperinyoureye]

Crazy good weekend, can't wait to get this thing rippin' around the track 🏁

[@joshsoberanis6310]

I got one of these with a k20a2/6mt fun daily. K24 seems like a good next upgrade

[@mazdafy1428]

I wouldn’t swap if I had the K20a2, that’s already a solid engine, this is the us model si with the k20a3

[@kseries20-24only]

@DZ Media this is sweeeeet! I'm doing the same thing right now for an RSX, were you able to run the 50 degree VTC OK on the stock ECU?

[@pepperinyoureye]

ECU we used is Kpro, and we got it running using the TSX basemap. The 50 deg VTC is pinned to 40 degrees using a TracTuff limiter pin.

[@Gillette511]

160 hp k20a3 - but yes still not good for a track car. Nice work!

[@pepperinyoureye]

Yes, it rips real good on track now!

[@TheCtrfn2]

K24 a2 a3?

[@pepperinyoureye]

JDM K24A doesn't have the same designation as the USDM motors, but it's the equivalent of a K24A2 from the TSX.

[@TheCtrfn2]

Tank you ☺

[@crazyhead285]

Hey you installed the valve tube seal on backwards.

[@ShotByDale]

haha good catch. Nick went ahead and fixed that. thank you.

[@TheMrmagic101]

What throttle body did you use with the Swap?

[@pepperinyoureye]

Stock EP3 throttle body and TSX manifold.

[@Hondaflip]

What parts you need to go from k20 to k24 on EP3?

[@tonycowham801]

a k24

[@pepperinyoureye]

Kpro, CRV mount post, and a couple sensors swapped from the old K20. We did a ton more like upgrading to the 36mm axles, but the bare minimum is listed above.

[@alomechanthasinh4079]

Need more ep-3 content

[@ShotByDale]

We made a track video with the ep3. Currently waiting on parts for it!

[@boxnshocks6238]

What K24 engine was this you guys used? K24a1? 4?

[@ShotByDale]

JDM K24A equivalent to K24A2

[@julianperez1270]

You did a k20a3 swap on a weekend?? Only takes about 4hrs to do engine and transmission.

[@ShotByDale]

K24 with new oil pump, all new accessories, cam timing gear. Then we did a 5 lug swap and some other bushings. So no. Not just a k20 swap

[@julianperez1270]

@@ShotByDale That's about 6 to 7 hours of labor..Took me a full day to take engine out put Wiseco Pistons stage4 cams Type S oil pump and RBC 50° Cam gear and rebuilt a 6speed transmission on a 8th Gen SI with k24A swap..when you do it on a daily basis you get then hang of it..Them 8th gen transmission are no joke dropping it by your self. Me and my cousin installed a Rev9 Turbo kit in a 9hrs and got the car running same day well same night. Lol....the Jon gets easier every time you do it.wjen I first started with Bseries 20yrs ago I used to Ziplock bag every bolts and mark them where they go,NO I can do it with my Eyes closed..Good Job I want to sell how much power it makes whencyou done.

[@pepperinyoureye]

@@julianperez1270 yeah this was our first time, and definitely wanted to take our time and make no mistakes.

@@pepperinyoureye yea bro I know that feeling. I was doing a Timing Chain on a 07 Ford F550 Turbo Diesel and I was going to cry after a realize what I was getting my self into.Took me 4 1/2 Days to get it running. But us kinda like a Honda Kseries Timing chain job but parts are bigger and heavier.

[@swagapinopakboi]

nice i got one too

[@mazdafy1428]

What transmission?

[@pepperinyoureye]

Y2M3 from a DC5-R

[@mazdafy1428]

@@pepperinyoureye thanks

[@RandomDude320]

What header did u use??

[@pepperinyoureye]

It's a DC race header from a RSX. Fits great, but had to swap the front sway bar to the CRV bar.

[@andrewwhittaker2582]

About to do my own K24A swap into my EP3, why did you use the RBC cam gear? I haven't seen anyone have to do that in my research

[@ShotByDale]

There are a million videos out there about it. It helps with mid range power.

[@hoopla1414]

Info on the SPRAYER you are using please!

How did you know that that the coolant system was completely blood

[@ShotByDale]

we bled it until their were no more bubbles coming out. it took over an hour. I think if you can get access to vacuum system, it would be worth it.

[@Jr-ef9ny]

Which Transmission and clutch did you use

[@pepperinyoureye]

Y2M3 from a JDM DC5-R for trans. Clutch is a Comp stage 2 with 11lb flywheel.

[@Jr-ef9ny]

What about harness I need a good one for my swap almost done 👍
