❤ Honda seriously needs to bring back the k series engines. This little vacuum cleaner sounding 4 cylinders aren't it.

[@OrangeChicken417]

So true, the new K20c motors sound terrible

[@FB6K24Z7]

K20C is nothing as comapred to these older K-series especially when they are boosted

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

100%. And these new honda engines are even blowing head gaskets in STOCK form. I'm from NY where street racers pull 300hp out of them all motor and 500hp boosted all day on the stock engine and never heard of people blowing head gaskets on them. Not saying they won't blow if pushed but these new ones are blowing bone stock in people's dailys.

@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ibthe 1.5L maybe. The k20c1 in the type r has zero problems. There’s one making 712whp on the stock bottom end Hundreds of them are in the 500-600whp range on stock trans, clutch, engine and are dailied with zero problems

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

@@walahmelons5504 They're still ugly, gay & sound like vacuum cleaners.

Thanks Nick, 202 hp with our 9th gen from your tuning Hondata, exhaust/CAI/Downpipe. Next step is head swap RBC manifold and cams.

[@mozzart1ful]

Made some damn good power . Keep them coming . Thanks

[@kole6313]

Glad to see you posting

[@DankieOne101]

very clean car. Im almost done my build nick and i will be contacting you again! thanks for sharing!

[@mattperes3889]

Great video Nick. surprised me how much power this setup could make

[@iVietTEC.k20z1]

My friend in his 9th gen FG4 runs this exact setup making 250whp on E85. Had a pretty good race against my 222whp DC5 RSX.

[@evidentlyfuckingnot]

Awesome video thank you. Super sick setup I would like to make a Frankenstein motor like this one day.

[@frying_Nimbus]

Every pull I wish I had a 8th gen head on my 9th gen 😭

[@joshuawetzbarger6130]

The Honda Civic si sounds good

[@Mansimran24]

my dream build❤ so far i only have short ram intake and invidia exhaust.

[@IsaacPoopsAlot]

bro's editing now 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jlamrycee90]

IKR, made such a big difference to his already good quality videos. Keep on going nick!

[@johnbarr6873]

Luv it

[@chrishenry571]

Porsche! Porsche! Porsche!

[@devindeboer9675]

I’d love to find more info on the Z3 head swap on the 9th Gen. Been looking into swapping mine

[@BulliKid]

Stock fuel pump doing work!

[@islandrebeltuning9038]

All them mods on stock engine mounts is crazy let’s start der lol

[@SlowKey_bubl]

it needs that oil pump man its begging to rev higherrrr i got an rrc oil pump off an fd2 i hope it fits a k24z7 like the type s pumps

[@OGKringles]

I’m basically running this set up with an A2 head but I never got the chance to get it tuned and now I have a supercharger so it’s cool to see what it would’ve made

[@younome1845]

What mods did you need to use the a2 head on the z7?

[@OGKringles]

@@younome1845 use a a2 headgasket and k24 headbolts.

[@FG2-K24A]

It's great to see another tuning video! Seems like a lot of work to get the Z3 head on the Z7 block. It would be easier to swap a K24A engine?

[@georgep.692]

Crank sensors between the RBB motors and the R40 motors are incompatible. It would be alot more work.

[@blackmkiv]

I see you mentioned the DC 2.2 cams, are those worth it over the DC DICs? I browsed through your videos and hadn't really seen you talk about those two at the same time.

[@naailable]

There is no good vid on youtube showing throttle body spacer gains (or lack of) on dyno. If you could share your experience it would be greatly appreciated!

[@SBBUK]

Does anyone know if there any proper guide online about how to make this swap work? I've seen various vague forum posts but no-one really documenting it fully (but maybe i'm looking in the wrong place). I'm very curious for my K24Z3 accord euro, should be possible.

[@alehrims]

Hey nick did you do remote tune ? Doctronic ecu?

[@jonaspareja]

Looking for a MR2 & Porsche shells to send to Nick!!!! For some K SWAPs Wishful thinking! 🤑💫🙌🏽

[@jonj4357]

Is the bigger throttle body really necessary?

[@gangsta_pigeon8023]

how hard was doing the head swap? My 9th gen’s motor blew so i’m thinking about doing something like this.

[@jesusgonzalez7027]

is this on pump gas? what fuel is it tuned on?

[@bhadz100]

Would the k20a2 work?

[@alexjackow2942]

What has to be welded/ground down on the head for the swap?

[@Americium-241]

One of the oil galleries on the block so that it doesn’t leak

[@radisnooker5]

How much would a headswap cost. Thinking of doing this to my fg4 one day with cams. Maybe throw in a small turbo if im dumb enough.

[@kayden.k20]

Probably as much as a turbo kit tbh thats labor parts etc

[@yeetskeet102]

What better headers were you talking about?

[@00dc2]

I want to know too

[@wadestanion4617]

You kept saying "full bolt ons".... Meaning what?

[@turbotom3283]

Are you located anywhere near ohio? I'm looking for a tune on my 8th gen si. It's currently on a base map for th rdx injectors but I'd like it done correctly.

[@HondAcura111]

Toronto Ontario

[@alexandredube8424]

Any one have dyno the skunk2 ultra camshaft k24z7

[@SofaKingNYce]

Nope but I have a built ported head and camshafts if you want to buy them. I decided not to build mine.

[@ricksonconserve9771]
