K20 Swap Suzuki Swift Track Test - New Dash, New Tires, More Power!

[@harryazzole7814]

Love watching you guy's videos. I don't have the time or money to live the car enthusiasts lifestyle I want to be living, so I kind of just experience it through you guys. Awesome content every time.

[@paulwade5853]

Wow Brian, you so poor you can't even afford a profile pic! Kidding, I feel you man. Watching this stuff makes me want to pump all the monies into my car, but I ain't got no monies to pump!

[@harryazzole7814]

Paul Wade that's my exact problem. I have the money to pour into my car, but if I do I won't have enough left over for track fees and tires :D I've been looking into team racing where everyone splits the bill to get on track and save a ton of money, time, etc. Road racing is a lot more complex than KZbin makes it seem :/

[@duanebailey6253]

autox is cheap and alot of people do it with stock cars.

[@harryazzole7814]

Duane Bailey sorry, should've specified wheel to wheel racing 😅

[@duanebailey6253]

Try Lemons racin just need a cage with a cheap lexus.

[@mrmooney25]

This is my favorite car you guys feature on your channel.

[@jovannirodriguez4006]

Unpopular opinion, but I think the Swift is the best looking hatchback of the 90's. Love this car

[@joannaatkins822]

Jovanni Rodriguez no dude, I really love the swift styling too! The lines just look aggressive and fast stock, and I would absolutely do this with one if I had the cash

[@jovannirodriguez4006]

Phil Atkins yes, I think it was one of Suzukis best cars. Glad to know other people appreciate this car. I regret selling mine, and would of loved to have done this too if I had the cash.

[@Joe11Blue]

Pulsar GTI-R here.

[@InFamousDmac]

I vote for ef civic hatches but I love most 70s-90s 3 door hatches

[@jakemj03]

Yes! I owned two of them and compared to the boxy looking civics, they looked (and still do IMO) awesome.

[@joannaatkins822]

This is by far and away my favourite Suzuki Swift; it actually goes as fast (and much faster) than I always thought the styling suggested it should! You do petrolheads everywhere proud dude, I think your car is a properly fantastic little beast 10/10 would steal your ideas.

[@kevinatfms]

Best video from Speed Academy I have seen. Great coverage on a really interesting build. Driver did great and owner was awesome at explaining how the mods reacted with the build.

[@jakemj03]

I owned two Swift GTi's in the 90's. Super light and fun cars to drive! 1735 lbs - Not many cars come close to that...

[@izzieb]

This Suzuki is swift! Unlike most Suzuki Swifts.

[@ethownzbh]

It's because, you see, you're not dealing with the average Suzuki Swift anymore. It's risen beyond the limits of a normal Swift and into the realm of legend, the legend that you fear, legend known through out the entire universe as the most powerful Swift to ever exist. It, the K20 Swift, has become A SUPER SWIFT!

[@opeope12]

Ethanmeister Taylor Swift?

[@TheSuaveBOSS]

hehe

[@colinmorand129]

Izzie it should be quick considering the man hours and money pumped Into it..unlike most Swift's.

[@Populiervogel]

Izzie, Have you ever driven a Suzuki Swift GTi? I still own a stock 1995 Swift GTi, it looks like shit, but its a pocket rocket, 101 hp of a 1300cc engine :-)

[@matel9985]

sounds amazing

[@alberto1690]

John is a beast! It would be pretty cool to have Him back

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

This beast is awesome! That much power in such a small platform, damn!

[@tristancarlson4816]

I always get so excited when there is a speed academy vid in my sub box

[@cajunspecial238]

I really hope y'all return to New Foundland and race. That series was awesome and i loved every minute of it.

[@speedacademy]

We really hope to! It's an event we'd do every year if we could. Such an amazing experience and an amazing place. Dave is dreaming of taking his Celica to Targa someday.

[@s2000101]

Love looking over the car every year at gridlife

[@precariousbyte]

Crash helmet, racing suit, racing gloves, New Balance trainers. "One of these things is not like the other... one of these things doesn't belong!"

[@ejaokay]

Awesome car. Glad to see to all fixed up!

[@MrVincentHan]

The transition from casually talking to ripping the shit out of that swift was great lmao

[@thenewnormal8853]

Like the custom fab work on the rad support to clear the TPS

[@lamesingram5280]

was just thinking that. looks like they used a fucking can opener.

[@jonyrho]

That swift is so sweet! Never thought I would say that about a Suzuki...

[@HeadShotPR]

That shit has to be a blast to drive for what it is

[@spencergrundy6798]

I'm glad that I found U guys!! I'm working on rebuilding my very first car ever, it's a 1978 1st gen Honda Civic Cvcc hatchback. I'm thinking on putting a K20a Si swap in it!

[@speedacademy]

it's going to be a very tight fit, I think a B-series fits much better in the first gen.

[@scubasteve9715]

I cannot like this enough! So sick!

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Looks like it's a blast to drive !

[@javiermaeda4855]

Awesome Videos!!!

[@masked4794]

the swiftest swift this side of the town

[@blacksupra001]

im falling more and more and more in love with these compact 2 door hatchbacks, you can turn them into race cars hahaha

[@Dogzstud04]

I had one in 2008 the little pocket rocket 1.3 to a lot power nice car

[@khesesian]

Yesss! That little death box is mean. Can't wait for more videos on it. Also. what is the weight to hp on this thing?

[@brockwalls1413]

Adam Papp Should be about 6.9lbs per HP.

[@khesesian]

Yes, by the time i wrote this comment i noticed the thumbnail. In metric it's 4,37 kg/kw, or 3,26 kg/hp. Which is quite a lot... :D

[@slowkidsatplay8703]

love this thing

[@bray6510]

That e28 holy frick

[@speedacademydave]

lol Pete's daily driver

[@bray6510]

We need a video Pete! Nice M Systems too

[@danielcgomez]

thanks for the info about the SX4 Front Knuckle conversion ;)

[@KapiteinKrentebol]

Pretty cool, but isn't that long throw shifter a liability? At least I think it would make me missshift lots of times.

[@jestah7251]

Damn...... pocket rocket!

[@JLUKable]

You guys should sell a k series swap kit for the Swift 👍🏻

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!

[@DK101GT]

7:20 You were heeling & toeing way too early there. Even before you moved the gearleaver :)

[@ayrtongoat92]

Awesome

[@ReubenHorner]

Any chance of just getting some straight track footage uploaded without edits? Love that footage and need MOAR

[@speedacademy]

We'll be shooting another track update on this car soon and we'll try to do that for you.

[@ReubenHorner]

Awesome! Thanks guys

[@brandonblair6868]

Sir, bravo! Commence slow clap.

[@BlackPenquinn]

How fast? I heard you think you can take a few seconds off it. What was the time?

[@STLproject]

Why these wheels? Aren't there lighter choices available? Rpf1, motegi traklite.

[@NCLme]

Faster faster faster....push it til it hurls

[@PaulCuenin]

Did you guys say a lap time?

[@coldvaper]

I love all of this and want to be inside it...

[@blairo15]

G'day mate. I was just wondering if you could tell me where I can buy a set of those flares for my gti project race car? Regards Blair Fraser

[@Shredder656]

wanna know the setup to get 238 on stock internals

[@adriannagraf6551]

What cams? I'm running prayoonto stage 3 cams and I'm making 250 to the wheels.

[@Moutarde_Chou]

238 whp on stock internal!! How you did that? Would like to know what is the cam and what kind of gas it run on.

[@duanebailey6253]

Ks make power easy. Its got custom intake and a 72mm tb,. Header and exhaust i see an easy 230whp

[@speedacademy]

Eric from Lavigne Motorsports also did some porting of the cylinder head, which really helped a lot vs the setup last year. It's still on stock cams, but we are planning to use some Drag Cartel cams on a K24 build Eric and Kevin have in the works. 300whp goal.

[@telemarkski2010]

Any idea how much torque thi made?

[@TheAussiefrog]

I spy Pete's E28 any updates on that?

[@speedacademy]

He's just daily driving it, but he would like to swap in a more powerful engine at a some point, freshen up the interior and paint etc.

[@car.gems.]

any updates?

[@craiglang6607]

That e28 in the background though. When are you going to mess with a BMW?

[@speedacademy]

We have two new series planned with BMWs in them. And Pete is dreaming of engine swapping his e28 daily driver too, so that may be something you see on the channel eventually.

[@MrPeteRR299]

Tire with ?

[@Danilove19]

Make it do a spit turbo

[@leslie7872]

5:30 what the dog doing?

[@terrancegrant1664]

She is a screamer!!!!

[@elliotjharris9908]

The throw on the shifter looks crazy long! Can anyone tell me why? :)

[@speedacademy]

We can tell you it doesn't feel long when driving it, so probably just the angle of the camera. But the K-tuned shifter box is fully adjustable, so we could shorten the throws if we wanted to. Or we should say if Kevin the owner or John the driver wanted to :D

[@elliotjharris9908]

Speed Academy oh okay! That is so awesome! Thanks for the reply! :)

[@zuluagaco]

time???

[@158158cow]

Steering looks loose, eh?

[@smartfeller1495]

I have a honda civic that sounds like a subaru on my channel if anyone is interested. it also has been turned into a truck.

[@Ceyx1265]

celica

[@speedacademydave]

All of August is Celica content.

[@tsaltsirf2219]

Damn near a go kart

[@szouftz]

k swap the world :)

[@zer0ne83]

At what point does it cease to be a Suzuki Swift, though. The moment that K20 went in it became a Honda if you ask me :(

[@tdawg719]

same power as a stock evo, half the weight

[@Burden-THE]

I would daily that as is. Every day.

[@butters_]

238 at the wheels from a k20 hahaha

[@Wreckedekcoupe]

MrKp0w what?

[@butters_]

Mika Allard the dyno is obviously generous

[@cranky1812]

Next logical step - turbo? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelwoodsdale460]

It sounds so angry...like some kind of rabid minion

[@martinramirez6050]

angry NA K20

[@MrCanyons]

I hate when people dont rev match...

[@240ztoronto]

there was a dog in the background

[@leewalker4314]

dont want you crashing again more like

[@michaeldegen8917]

Cayuga

[@Danilove19]

Suzuki swift gti turbo charge it

[@Danilove19]

Dyno the car

[@mrbigdaddycool]

Booooa :O

[@AllTheBestNames]

:-/ To be honest I couldn't care less about this car.. I really tuned in for the hosts not the "fast guy".

[@speedacademy]

Haha, thanks for the love. Dave will be driving it in the next video, we just wanted to conserve the car since it was on experimental axles. New bulletproof DSS axles are going in this week, so we'll rip some serious tec in this thing soon.

[@SoulEnlightt]

The fast guy? Whats up with those cringy downshifts... Doesnt sound like a "fast guy" to me....

[@diarmuidmarsden7752]

Luis González He was driving a car hard that he wasn't used to. Stop talking crap.

[@oskarskates]

yeah man my boy Luis Gonzalez would have smashed everyone out there. Luis Gonzalez is faster than any driver i have ever met the boy has a mean heal toe that is everything BUT cringy! but you all knew this based on Luis's expert downshift comments. Luis=theSTIG

[@SoulEnlightt]

wow thanks man you see my point ;D email me for driving lessons :) I would help you get rid of any cringy things you may do

[@oskarskates]

thanks Luis, such a gentleman. ily and ill keep you updated on my cringy driving habits.

[@Ran-dom1]

toasted

[@hybridEP3]

Sg auto tuned 🤢
