Making the World’s FIRST ever longitudinally mounted K-Series EK Civic!?

[@Jeremeytickle27]

I’m doing a RWD conversion on my 3rd Gen Prelude! This is gonna be a sick build. All the builds you guys do are top notch!

[@Jeremeytickle27]

That’s awesome. I’m putting a F20 out of a S2000 into mine.

[@Nova_Ways]

Just a recommendation on the backside of the motor mount fish mouth piece drill a hole a bit bigger hole than the socket that fits the nut on the motor mount that slips in so you can tighten them up easier.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Cali Ways - the nuts are plenty easy to access.

[@sykko.exit2348]

That's what I call BUILD. It's not just putting on blings str8 out of the box. Hell of a good job!

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

fabbing out mounts can be a pain but when you get them the way you want them to be man it makes you smile since you done it yourself.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

pat finstad - Glad you understand.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Nice work Mickey/Ricky. Good stuff as usual. Fabrication is fun.

[@jtyoung706]

I freaking love this build so much!

[@blakeschmid]

You guys should get check out steel-it ! Or really any weld through galvanizing spray for all the fab your doing, especially if you want it to last a while.

[@mickeyandrade3435]

blakeschmid - Thanks for the tip

[@blakeschmid]

Mickey Andrade yea man of course! It’s a super sick coating, literally ground up stainless steel. Love the build! Makes me want to try and rwd swap my 1st gen civic wagon.

[@aidanaltimas2576]

Sort of see the stress on a str8 mount, but your second attempt, even made it look far sexier ✋ keep her lit boys 🇮🇪🍀

[@PlzTouchSomeGrass]

Aidan Altimas I see a fellow Irish fan, from the land of shitty ecoboxes 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@slothgarage4846]

Forget my comment on a previous video about the traction rods 😅 what is interesting with your EK is it appears to have EG/DC lower control arms, all the EKs I have seen have a one piece lower control arm and compliance arm, the EG/DC compliance arm being in 2 pieces allows you to run shims between them to get up to 3 degrees of extra caster, and EF/DAs run a traction bar and rods like you now have on the EK, which you qill be able to use to change the caster which is cool. One thing I am wondering is how you are going to change the rear toe settings now that you have custom trailing arms that have deleted the factory rear toe arms

[@dontelatimore5587]

Mickey here's a tech tip...you want to know what the best template material is? the cardboard from your cereal box, Eggos box, Rice-a-Roni box or anything similar. it's thinner and easier to cut than that stuff you were using. happy New year guys💪

[@hannabishi0]

Such strong yet creative hands.

[@wldwst22]

I love watching your skill in fabbing up solutions to the issues you run in to. Keep up the good work.

[@chezrayrodney1480]

Use the k-tuned thermostat swivel for the water neck it can be angled in multiple ways

[@sanjuan240]

Was thinking the same thing about your first mount setup. Your build is kinda making me want to do the same thing one day but I’m thinking more of a rwd integra.

[@melbgrk6725]

awesome unique build and love the fab work guys :) Can't wait to see the finished product and see this car rip :)

[@MeSessum]

You sure the engine will slide out of the mounts now that there’s so much angle? Seems like it’s going to be stuck down in the narrower portion of the opening of both sides are in.

[@megans6935]

Paint match and wheel match with your other civic they would look amazing together

[@CraigBrosRacing]

Hoonigan has 2 different k series mount that way in a s14 and 370z so in theory just watch how they did it and you can do the civic similarly. .

[@mickeyandrade3435]

CRAIG BROS RACING - With all due respect, I don’t need to watch them or anyone else to learn how to do this.

[@CraigBrosRacing]

@@mickeyandrade3435 true..but all great engineers share there ideas so just figured you would like to see how someothers address certain problems when doing this swap not to "learn" how to do it...but to each his own ...bro your work is usually impressive so im sure this one will be the same..

[@darylricamora1054]

Shout out to throtl. Nice built.

[@Jcosta7286]

How are the mounts going to slide in and out with that much angle? I don’t get it.

"...and girls". Thanks Mickey! Any other girls fascinated by this build? I'd love to do the same with my lil red EK, but with a Volvo T5 motor ;-) I love those things!

[@BangBelt]

I'm not an expert, but the ears you cut off that tensioner are for an idler pulley you will need to run without the power steering pump. Might have to go center feed on the manifold.

[@dutchnova3468]

BANGwich electric steering

[@BangBelt]

@@dutchnova3468 if you remove the power steering pump from a k series you have to run an idler pulley that attaches to the ears they cut off of the tensioner

[@RunningSolo]

@@BangBelt I'm sure this is not going to stop us one bit .. we will figure something out if that is the case 🤷‍♂️

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Or, you run a shorter belt......... As I mentioned in the video.

[@BangBelt]

@@mickeyandrade3435 it's not a length issue, it's a tension issue.

[@t1mblumer]

So how is it supposed to slide in and out with both mounts canted back in opposite directions???

[@abdulmuqsithassan3049]

Make custom interior also for this build. Cant wait to see final result

[@ShredGarage]

Now with the engine mounts at that angle, the whole easy slide in feature isn’t going to work.

[@tbg4ming126]

Yeah like why wouldnt the mounts be good just standing straight? 🤔

[@ShredGarage]

TBG4ming12 I get that part of it. Cause the other way puts the stress on the bolt, and not the rubber mount. But you could actually side the engine straight up. Now that the mounts are so vertical, you would have to slide left or right, and because they’re opposite, you just can’t slide them in, or out. So pointless.

[@byrdb90]

My thoughts exactly. Though, It’s a lot easier to criticize from the outside looking in. I will say, I appreciate all the hard work they’re putting in though and hopefully they’ll address this in a future episode.

[@chickenfordinner2093]

they should of went solid mount if they wanted the slide in brackets to work, lol they will figure it out next time they take engine out!

[@tbg4ming126]

Yeah why didnt i thought of that.. It must have a meaning some how, i hope they address us

[@natc5382]

Nice build! Quick question, if your fish mouth engine mounts are at an angle on both sides, how will you be able to slide in or slide out the engine?

[@RunningSolo]

So our first design worked that way .. but it wasn't functional... the motor mount will be working overtime to hold the engine up ... and also .. if the motor mounts brake or go bad there will be nothing holding the motor in place other than the subframe.... so by us changing the mounts to a 30deg not only will the supports will help the motor mounts but if they ever go out at least the mount holders will hold the engine in place .... as your question about sliding them in ... yes ... we have to slide them in first to the mount and then the engine block 🤷‍♂️ not the best results but is a better solution.

[@natc5382]

@@RunningSolo I got a response from Rickie!!! Nice work!

[@stupringle3338]

Loving this series, great build Do you have to get this set up certified to roll on the public roads over there or can you just modify as much as you want with not cert needed?

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Stu Pringle - No certs or warrant of fitness needed.

[@ROthiporos]

nicely done guys.Although getting the motor out and not the transmition is probably impossible due to the design of the mounts ?

[@mickeyandrade3435]
