K24a2 EP3 swap - Double the Power !

[@B95_P]

Honda really should have given this car a better drivetrain from the factory but, at least LHT can fix that problem (albeit 20 years later).

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s great with the K24. Jeff’s car rips through the mountains

[@ryancaminiti2133]

After seeing these guys at The Dragon, LHT does it right. Beautiful cars & craftsmanship. Super nice people as well!

[@daneaustin2468]

Sounds amazing. No rasp at all. Another quality build.

[@davidwhittaker9511]

Love the exhaust system build, "Art Show Craftmanship". The sound is beyond pleasing to the ear. George, the Twin Tips look awesome! Made my day!

[@LHTPerformance]

We’re so happy your happy. Such a great car. If Honda had them in stock they would sell like crazy.

[@dancarlos1216]

Almost bought a blue EP3 many moons ago, underrated hatchbacks for sure.

[@MyBrothersKeeper101]

Easily one of the best exhaust notes I've heard on a k24... Nice deep performance tone without a single hint of rasp. Nice work again gents!

[@davidwhittaker9511]

MBK, well said.....can't agree more!

[@theunknownone5663]

I absolutely love this car. Had to let it go because i had no time or to get it running. You don't know what your dream car is until you let go a piece of memory.

[@HondaStreetGarage]

love ep3's!

[@josephkaszycki251]

Exhaust sounds great! Love the Zo6 tips---they fit perfectly in that opening

[@251_Performance]

I need that exhaust for my K24A2 EP3 swap

[@jahbrake9791]

Love the build and the EP3 so much!! It was always the "ugly duckling" but I've always loved it!

[@callum4035]

I do feel sorry for you Americans not getting the ep3 type r as we got them in the uk and they are screamers 200 bhp stock

[@shadf7902]

We just swap and turbo, all.problems solved.

[@fewhavestrength]

thanks guys please do more on ep3 👍🏻

[@jahbrake9791]

Amen

[@251_Performance]

I concur!

[@Ultrarmx]

I still have my Borla exhaust when it first came out. With the twin tips. Has a nice low end sound.

[@M.TTT.]

Have a mostly stock 2005 ep3, so much to learn engine wise on them. That exhaust sounds great.

[@Leakyyy-]

Same I got an 03 my brother has an 05

[@M.TTT.]

@@Leakyyy- niiiccccee man, I welded in a x-force twin loop S10, 2.5" onto the invidia catback from previous owner. It was too loud before for such stock car and being considerate to my housemates, now its a tiny bit louder than stock I'd guess, at idle, and kinda opens up under throttle. Not too bad.

[@Leakyyy-]

@@M.TTT. haha yeah my car is tuned idk nothing much about it since my uncles did all the work themselves but it hit 13 seconds on the quarter mile pretty good for it being my daily. Exhaust is super loud and I can’t wait to change that.

[@M.TTT.]

@@Leakyyy- ah nice, I've debated getting a tuner, but eh yea being a daily I kinda want the mpg's. Seems dual resonator and custom twin-loop does decent, guessing you'd need 3" if your exhaust is already that size.

[@jimmyyking]

You guys always knock it out of the park. The detail is always top notch.

[@findtherightbeat]

The exhaust is note on the black EP3 is nice!!

[@codereddew1539]

I need this setup on my 04 EP3! Love that it has absolutely no rasp to it.

[@europhobia3306]

Me too I went from a k20z3 in my 08 si....now I have a 04 ep3 didn't realize this engine was so different....

[@samhendren1171]

Awesome you guys got rid of the Honda rasp.

[@aronfriesen2362]

K24 ep3 is a fun car to drive

[@robertjordan9075]

You have inspired me again. Thanks for sharing that beautiful workmanship.👍🏽👍🏽😎👌🏾

[@LHTPerformance]

Thanks ! I like to hear that.

[@rohanovegeway8627]

LHT performance at it again....keep up the good work, love you're videos.

[@lltysonll]

That storage unit looks familiar. Love the ep3.

[@woodensauce1063]

I have a full k20a2+6 spd trans swap in my ep3 and lately I have been wanting to go k24 bottom end. This video may have just sold me. The k20's lack of low end torque, especially in uphill cornering is like trying to climb a wall vertically lol.

[@LHTPerformance]

The 24 is a great engine for this car. I drove my friends we built up at the Dragon and loved it. Lots of usable power.

[@sask949]

I live in Canada and If one day I run into some extra money. I’ll definitely like to use you guys!!

[@bvward]

John & George, nice result. Does it connect to OBDII? That's how NJ does it's vehicle inspections (24 years or newer only)...

[@timscheuermann2554]

just got my swap done. k20/24 makes 257 at the wheels on e85 its beyond fun.

[@LHTPerformance]

Good stuff! That’s certainly going to be a blast

[@JamesJonahJameson-MM]

I traded my 2000 Si for the 2005 in 05. I quickly released I made a huge mistake.

[@michaellemos2477]

Do you by chance have the part numbers for the motor mounts? And do I need a crv mount? For the ep3? Doing the same engine as well. Keep the videos coming I love seeing them! Thanks

[@snidewhips]

Canada gets pretty hot in the summer boys just a heads up

[@TheMrmagic101]

Did you go 6 speed or stay with the ep3 5 speed tranmission

[@salimsopari]

This is great, i just picked up a high mileage 2002 civic SiR hatchback (sir because i am in canada) and was thinking of doing the k24a2 swap. Could you tell me what this would cost?

[@LHTPerformance]

Are you going to be building it yourself?

[@salimsopari]

@@LHTPerformance id ideally source the motor and other parts needed and look for a shop to install everything.. But if you were to do it all,what do you charge for this motor installed?

[@seanpowell69]

Hey great job guys! Did you have a catalytic converter with that exhaust?

[@LHTPerformance]

Yep.

[@musskeeterbump]

I'm still thinking of 24ing my ep

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s definitely worth it. I drive Jeff’s last year through the mountains and absolutely loved it. His is the black one we did the build on with the 5 lug. It was 2-3 years ago

[@musskeeterbump]

@@LHTPerformance definitely going to plan it out

[@n1eg695]

Is that an RRC or RBC manifold? Sorry i must of missed it. Perfext exhaust tone, reminds me of the old Apexi N1!!! There is definitely a reason you guys have been around for so long!

[@alex13238712]

Where can i find that muffler

[@camlobesvtec]

Where are you plugging that hose into for coolant bleeding?

[@LHTPerformance]

We taped into the factory coolant hose with a T

[@TheAgentAssassin]

oh that engine sound is nice

[@PeanutEOD]

I love that exhaust.

[@yaggs8941]

Curious if you did the 50 deg VTC and type s pump? Sounds great btw! Really wanted to meet at the Dragon but had to work... Keep up the great content!

[@LHTPerformance]

The motor was stock. Hence why we only rev’d it to 7300rpms

[@chrismoreno922]

What muffler did you guys use

[@punkrockmaniac21]

What resonator and muffler did you guys use??

[@M.TTT.]

Was it the x-force twin loop that was used? Edit: its a custom built twin loop

[@ivtec4fun55]

12.0:1 A/F for an N/A? Seems rich, but maybe I'm risky. I tune mine at 12.8, without a dyno, so who really knows!

[@LHTPerformance]

There’s so little difference between 13 to 1 and 12 to 1 power wise, but much safer to run a little fatter. Especially on 91 in a very cold climate.

[@ivtec4fun55]

@@LHTPerformance Very nice! Good to know. Thanks for the reply, I'm in the Pacific NorthWest so it's cold often here as well. I enjoy knowing my car can be driven with spirit and be totally fine, so it makes sense that yall tune to safe numbers. Cheers!

[@CL9k24a3]

@@ivtec4fun55 from factory they run 11s afr.

[@CL9k24a3]

@@LHTPerformance how much ignition timing do you run on this?

[@flaxNWax]

Awesome build! Thinking of doin the same swap on my EP3. Does the passenger mount need to be swapped with a CRV one in order to fit the k24a2?

[@ElBigWeeWee]

im building my ep3 i had a question what resonator did you go with for the back and did you need to change the mounts on the passenger side at all? and how did the radiator hoses mount up?

[@LHTPerformance]

Back resonator is a magnaflow 14” body. Radiator hoses ordered for an ep3 and the mount are Hasport for an ep3

[@onelowvdub]

Omg what a nice ep3...what part of Canada? Wonder if I can snag it hahaha 😜

[@samhendren1171]

You guys end up going dual resonators?

[@LHTPerformance]

Just one

[@bluespinningdotinspace]

You guys still do k swaps? If so how much

[@homehome-rc1db]

how much to do a k24a2 swap on this EP3?

[@TshuajCL9]

u guys keep the stock ep3 5 spd in there?

[@LHTPerformance]

Yes.

[@sr20geek]

I need an ep3 in my life! Curious what transmission did you guys use ? The stock 5spd ? Or did you swap it for a 6spd?

[@LHTPerformance]

We kept the customers 5speed trans

[@TheMrmagic101]

​@LHTPerformance the ep3 transmission with 4.7 fd gearing is almost identical to the 6 speed transmissions. The rsx base transmission comes with a shorter 1st and 2nd as well as a 4.3 fd

[@natemeanor4247]

i love that sound. Perfect amount of everything honda. is there anyway to make my K24w sound like that Haha

[@thisguy092]

Will these k swaps on the ep3 pass emissions? I’ve been wanting to replace my a3 with either a 24 or an A2

[@carlosguerrero5533]

Beautiful

[@SanchezMotorsportsLLC]

Hey LHT do you sell your maps? I am k24 swapping my EP3 and would love a well vetted map as a baseline!

[@LHTPerformance]

I don’t. Sorry buddy.

[@slowcar828]

How can I buy this

[@LHTPerformance]

The owner found the car and sent it to LHT for the conversion. I doubt it’s for sale.

[@DOOMLORDHOKAGE]

I have a question I bought an EP3. Does Ktuner not work on these cars?

I’m couldn’t say for sure, you may want to check with a dealer
