More content please! Good info on the swap, you should write it up when you are done so there's one place for info!

[@pop_pops_garage]

ill be posting more for sure!

[@pop_pops_garage]

Just posted another video!

[@natejones8508]

@12:59 my em2 isnt even k swapped and you have helped me. on my em2 where the hood latch bolts to the core support, the bolt holes are cracking. so im thinking this little t bracket mod is better than welding some brittle metal or getting whole ass new core support put in. you used the one right of the ep3 and it worked great? imma do this immediately to mine cause my hood latch is about to come off.

[@pop_pops_garage]

Yessir! I just added a riv nut at the bottom So i could bolt The bottom of the t bracket down

[@oriontapia9108]

i got an em2 as well, im trynna kswap it too!! id love to see more content on this project!! 👌🏼

I know this is an older video but man I’m having an issue with my 02 K24 swap. I’m trying to convert to 36mm insane shafts axles but i’m not sure the interchangeability on the steering knuckle or if I can just change the hub from 32mm to 36mm. I’m Lost

[@pop_pops_garage]

im not 100% sure. im not sure what would fit. we just use the ep3 axles

[@tripstomexico9770]

RSX Type S are 36mm Base model RSX/EP3 are 32mm Front and rear spindles are interchangeable between RSX/EP3/EM2

[@smokesall]

If it was me I would use the electric rack out of the EP3 for the em2 So she can steer the car better and your girls a champ for wearing flip-flops working on cars

[@pop_pops_garage]

She didn’t want the electric rack, idk if you’ve ever seen one lock up before but you can’t move the wheel at all haha

[@brendanr8795]

@@pop_pops_garagei know im late but if you ever want you put hydraulic power steering in it you can use the type s pump and lines you just have to either cut some skeleton out of the hood or get risers

@@pop_pops_garage sweet stuff im gearing up for that pretty soon here myself, i picked up a salvage type s to finally do a k swap in it

[@pop_pops_garage]

@@brendanr8795 that's legit best case scenario!

[@garyreinke4741]

So all you needed was new motor and trans mounts? Everything from the newer civic bolted up?

[@pop_pops_garage]

check out some of the other videos i covered everything i think. most 90% of the stuff you need you can get out of a ep3 or rsx

[@8.ms.9]

Yes more videos, I’ll definitely watch

[@pop_pops_garage]

Next video is boring but edited! Maybe 2 posts this week? 😬

[@8.ms.9]

@@pop_pops_garage i doubt it’s boring, two this week I’m down 😂

@3:33 Sydney's face whenever I'm hooning in the R or drifting the Miata. ZERO emotion hah!

[@pop_pops_garage]

not a single care could be found

[@iloveasmartgirl]

What did you do for wiring and ecu ? Maybe I missed it in the video when I was watching , did you use the original wiring harness from the em2

[@pop_pops_garage]

we used the ep3 harness and got a jumper harness for inside the car. we also used hondata for the ECu to bypass the imobilizer

[@cilli5866]

sick, you make it look easy! part 2 would be rad

[@pop_pops_garage]

Thanks! pt2 coming soon! just edited it

[@esaiejoseph2105]

Did you install the stock o2 sensor?

[@pop_pops_garage]

Yes but we have hondata

[@powerwam024]

which subframe did you use

[@pop_pops_garage]

Ep3 there’s a whole build series on my channel

[@gregautomotivation]

Did you have to do any wiring or change the ecu?

[@pop_pops_garage]

we used the k tuned jumper harness

[@thomassandoval1103]

What intermediate shaft did u use

[@pop_pops_garage]

It’s all ep3 stuff

[@danielthornburg5661]

Do you still have the eps system from the ep3?

[@pop_pops_garage]

We sold it

[@blairwilliams136]

Can you not use the em2 heater hoses ?

[@pop_pops_garage]

We still have heat in it, i think we used the ep3 heater hoses if i remember right

[@robertlambert7906]

So the k24 will mount right into the em2?

[@pop_pops_garage]

nah you need other stuff. watch the build series

[@GravyBuilt]

You should put the eps rack in the em2

[@pop_pops_garage]

we thought about it but we decided against it!

[@giorgitsintsadze9919]

can you do swap with auto em2 ?

[@pop_pops_garage]

Yes but you’d need to swap to manual

[@uveradandiaz917]

What did you end up doing with the AC lines ?

[@pop_pops_garage]

we ended up running the rsx lines!

[@uveradandiaz917]

Awesome ❤️

[@Temppy1]

what the fitting size for the rack

[@pop_pops_garage]

I don’t remember off the top of my head. I took the lines to a local an fitting place and we made it work. I want to say it’s the same as a eg or ek

[@TheJNALife747]

LETS GO BRO‼️🔥🫡LOVE IT..Got yourself a new subscriber bro

[@pop_pops_garage]

Let’s goooo

[@itzpookieyo668]

Quick question. You’re using axles, harness, and subframe, well everything from the ep3? And if so what year is that ep3?

[@pop_pops_garage]

yes we just used hasport motor mounts and a k tuned jumper harness for the wring. everything else was out of a ep3

[@Rj-uj1pd]

How’d you do the fan switch and primary o2

[@pop_pops_garage]

we ran a jumper harness and it does it automatically. the primary o2 is bypassed with hondata

[@frias2287]

Nice one bro🔥👍🤝💯

[@pop_pops_garage]

thanks!

[@jovanimicheo]

There’s a whole build series on my channel about it! We actually picked up some more goodies for it today!

nah. the gf can drive it jsut fine. its not a 60s domestic car these dont weigh much so its not really noticable after you get moving

@@pop_pops_garage yeah I know I have three personally I think it's pretty god-awful under low speed turning in the manual when you have a power steering leak did you find it improved at all when you looped it or do we just have a difference of opinions

[@altaccount3760]

@@pop_pops_garage the way the Honda power steering works is it effectively cuts off above a certain speed anyway that's why you have no problem at higher speeds by the way

[@pop_pops_garage]

@@altaccount3760 ive always driven efs and stuff that came factory with no power steering, my ek was looped and so was my integra. i guess im just use to it.
