Getting Your K Swap Done Right!

What K Series Crank Angle Sensors Will Work?
By Brian Gillespie
You finally got your K swap mounted up and you go to connect your harness to find that your crank angle sensor won't hook up. The connector is just different enough to not go on. Have no fear! Brian explains the different crank angle sensors and how to re-wire the plug to work with what you have.

Could you do a video on k-swapping a 1st gen CRV and keeping rt4wd? Discussing similarities and minor differences to the EK chassis? sub-frame swaps, best mounts, etc.

[@VTECAcademy]

Yes

Hi there I’m doing a k24a Ek swap I have a used standard 03 Crv k20a2 37820-pnb-e02 ecu but pump runs but can’t start my swap However a friend ECU start it good so I’m wondering if I have about ECU are it’s just not compatible with the swap.

[@user-hh4hc2lt6e]

Can u do a video for the cam sensors? I’ve read that people with k24, they swap one of the cam sensors to a k20 version because it tucks/ looks nicer

[@Ontheregz]

K24 sensor the connector sticks straight out, k20 sensor connector points down at a 90* angle. I think its only the intake cam… id have to go look at my car lol.

[@user-hh4hc2lt6e]

@@Ontheregz yeah i think it’s the intake one

Hi Brian. I have a 2017 k20c1 turbo engine which I’m going to use for track days in the uk.can you recommend a wired in standalone ECU to run this engine??

[@fuzz.factory]

Motec m143 or m150 work well.

[@jordanjorge959]

Can I just transfer k20a2 sensor in the k24?

[@VTECAcademy]

yes

[@briskxd1093]

Do you have to do the same thing with the 8th gen si wiring harness?

[@VTECAcademy]

If the connector doesn't fit, yes.

[@rubenske091]

👍👍

[@themechanic6117]

instead of changing the connector can you just change the sensor ?

[@punkaddic]

yes you can

[@prcc8793]

[@VTECAcademy]

Yes
