Building The Perfect EK9: Part 1

[@ericg1149]

Nice, I purchase quite a few parts from you guys when I swapped a k20a2 into my 2000 white coupe. Keep it coming and PS still waiting for my power steering cooler...

[@hybridracing]

Nice! Shoot us a message if you haven’t already about that cooler!

[@HondaStreetGarage]

Nice! Can’t wait for this build!

[@NoComp600]

Man this things already looks perfect so I can’t wait for the final result!

[@spencersgarage]

I remember seeing this Civic in TDIB video... An EK Type R (K swapped) is basically my dream Honda. Will be watching this build.

[@hybridracing]

Yep! I drove around with David after we got his car done!

[@Beezy_Builds]

Stoked yall finally have a channel, looking forward to working with Hybrid when i start my eg build

[@hybridracing]

Thanks!!

[@Beezy_Builds]

@@hybridracing Make sure you guys reach out to Zosh & Honda street garage to shout out your channel! Needs more subs asap. I will be reaching some time next year with a partnership proposal. Give my channel a look when you get a chance, stay awesome 👍🏾

[@scottcraft7690]

That’s a nice car. I can’t wait to see the progress. And that engine.... wow!!🙌

[@guhwayro]

So beautiful, Amazing build brother

[@Rhdgerm]

New motor !!!! Off the assembly line!! That’s gonna be awesome. Well deserved chassis to put that motor in.

[@hybridracing]

Can't beat brand new! I'm ready to hear it scream!

[@Piercemxpx]

Great quality videos, you deserve a lot more subs. & I loved what you wrote in the description; you’re a true lover of Honda’s.

[@brysonhatake1643]

Bro it's already perfect in my eyes

[@kawasabi1]

Great video! I hope some day you guys can offer a exhaust kit for the Kswap ek, I did the swap a year ago and that's the only thing that I wish I could clean up. My stainless welds are just ok.

[@hybridracing]

We agree, customers need better solutions than what is available now. We’re on it!

[@MrRevto9k]

Ya need to bring back that 70mm throttle body.

[@ReidEvers]

This. Please

[@hybridracing]

We hear you! ^_^

[@triplerotor]

This channel deserves more subscribers

[@Ek9luis]

So happy you doing this since I want to learn more on this swap to do my ek hatch thanks

[@Nicatlotus]

Looks gently used and amazing, but i appreciate the OCD point of view. Currently shopping for an EK9 now!

[@balancemode4112]

I’ve just purchased your fuel rail and its awesomee

[@jasonharadon]

All. of. those. painted. parts had my stomach turning and then you guys killed with the New In Box Crate CTR....Yes!!!

[@hybridracing]

Jason Haradon We both know there is ground between custom and OEM. That’s where I want this car to live.

[@jasonharadon]

@@hybridracing I understand and I respect what it is you folks do for a living and and I love the excitement to do something "over" with a lesson learned the 2nd time. This will be a fun follow for sure; Subscribed!

[@hybridracing]

@@jasonharadon It should have been done from the start, but that's ok. I'll handle it.

[@dillonrio7330]

I read the description and I couldn't have said it better. Subscribed for the EM1 and definitely staying for the EK9. On another note, what's the song called from 1:25-3:25. The first song when it pans to the EK9. Thanks!

[@ashb3276]

Man the EK just looks so good !!!!!

[@kouki_integra]

On a side note I would love to have a hybrid racing face mask!! Make em Dave 🙏🏾

[@nonameneededsailing]

Hey, Maybe do a video of the history of Hybrid , is will still with y’all? I remember his EG hatch . Ran it with a C5 and he was right next to us. Y’all have always been the best around. Lol you raced me on my bike on the interstate, I even had a passenger on my bike. That was a sweet car .

[@hybridracing]

Yep, Will is still around! We did some videos with @zosh about this history of HR.

[@machocvcprable]

Can't wait for more videos. Miss the EG6. Would you build another one? I have one coming next month from Japan!

[@robertsothmann8110]

Key to building the perfect EK...is start with the perfect EK!!! Siiiiick

[@haloreach7]

Following this build

[@luisfigueroa8149]

Great project. Looking forward to your videos. 👍

[@biancothequeenbeethompson]

Are you guys doing work on anybody’s car now, or still only y’all’s??? I’m born and raised in Baton Rouge and would love to have you guys jump on my k20z3!!! I have been watching you from the start!!!

[@hybridracing]

At this time, no, we don't take on customer jobs. I started doing the channel for fun, so we will see where it goes.

[@scglobetrouter85]

Hey david! , i know its already k swapped... , but could you also go into a little bit of detail on how to the k swap & what your going to need?

[@hybridracing]

Sure! I plan on talking more about the swap since the FD2 K20A motor is a bit different and will require different things. Almost all of our K-swap parts have changed in some way since this car was built so we will be using all of our new stuff.

[@scglobetrouter85]

hey i was rewatching the video again and honestly "rebuilding the engine bay harness" sounds like something id love to watch you do and learn something from that , if you can show us that process that would be really cool 💪🏽 thanks a ton

[@hybridracing]

SC globetrouter sure! Once I get there I will definitely show that!

[@jodiehodgkiss8062]

I can't wait for the results

[@3DR87]

Beautiful build ❤

[@Edge5055]

Do you think Brembos from an FD2 can fit in there with brackets? Or go with AP? I can get you some from Upgarage. I see MandM really loves your short throw too. I live in Japan’s and own an FD2. I’m super excited for the build.

[@hybridracing]

Edge5055 FD2 Brembos on the EK9? Not likely with the 16 inch wheel... would probably have to run 17s minimum. We already have a big brake kit with two piece rotors for it. And M&M are our guys! Much love to them! 🙏🏼

[@ilusq]

Sweet car, the music is a tad loud compared to your voice sometimes tho

[@tdoteva4973]

Love ek9 my ej9 1.4 really nice n fast imagine how this ek9 most feel😍

[@mondecruel1866]

Kswap your ej9 i did on mine 😎

[@benyaaqub7984]

Wow...brand new zero milage k20a type r...very perfect..❤❤

[@AustinSmith-sx4uk]

Willing to sell the old trans? Great video!!!

[@hybridracing]

Ah, the swap is already going into another project. :-)

[@maxboost4250]

Where did you get the clear disposable car cover???? :)

[@mastermind5692]

@Hybrid Racing, i need vented and slotted rear disc rotor which ones are you using?

[@OliviaCampbell-ym9du]

[@Version38]

Nice work david

[@jclc4201]

Hey man. new sub here. Can I ask where you get parts for this build? You have a link or FB. Thank you.

[@hybridracing]

Which parts specifically?

[@jclc4201]

@@hybridracing Like basic JDM and bolt ons. lights, bumpers, LCA, steering wheel, interior.

[@michaelpotts3685]

Hybrid Racing I still rock my shirts all the time and no one knows what they are haha. The Canibeat forum days were awesome.

[@hybridracing]

Whoa Mikey I have about 200 OG stickers in all colors in a box in my office haha

[@michaelpotts3685]

Hybrid Racing that’s awesome man keep it alive!

[@wickedsatan1]

Wow.. is Honda still manufacturing those FD type R engines?

[@hybridracing]

No, they went out of production in 2011.

[@onetrackmind2907]

Perfect seems to be a bit of a stretch. Perfect in my opinion would be looking as though it just came off the show room yesterday. There are a lot of little dents, scratches, flaws, rust and imperfections.

[@gerardstefanelli1618]

Is the old engine up for grabs?

[@hybridracing]

gerard stefanelli we are going to use it for another project!

[@cnrdlynch]

No Type R front control arms or sway bar?

[@hybridracing]

I was as surprised as you! No sway bar in sight! Since it was K-swapped, it has a DC2 subframe but yea... no sway bars and that is certainly something we are going to change. haha.

[@rafaelcosta6329]

What year is it?

[@ohcaptainmycaptain9513]

99‐00

[@mrb6144]

I wanna buy from you bro? Can I call you about it?

[@Ekk24_Cali]

Is the HR no cut shifter?

[@hybridracing]

This car currently has our K-swap shifter in it from 2014. We will be updating all of it soon.

[@Ekk24_Cali]

Thanks! Just wanted to know since the console was retained. Assuming the Kwap shifter was mounted in the tunnel?

[@Ekk24_Cali]

Can’t wait to see part 2!

[@hybridracing]

Anthony Vo yes of course. Our K-Swap shifter bolts in through the bottom and only a small part of the mechanism sticks up through the stock hole. The cables remain outside of the car. You can keep the stock console and boot, etc.

[@mrb6144]

You guys still building he ek?

[@hybridracing]

Currently sitting on a dolly with no suspension. We’ve had to press pause on it while we finish our FK8. We will have new videos of this car up soon. 😎
