Tearing Down My K20A for Epic Engine Swap Status! How Does This All Work?!

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Thanks so much for all the support these recent videos! It means so much to me. 2019 is our year boys. Have you ever swapped a car?

[@creepystank420]

This is the best oldspice ad I've ever seen.

My eg has a k20a

[@ammarskyline7075]

No I didn't, cause I don't have one :(

[@quintonpickrell8897]

Me and my dad engine swapped our 67' Volkswagen bug from a single carb 1500cc to a duel carb 1800cc

[@rafaelkyriakou8241]

I spend so much money but I was worth it and David if you wondering I make 305HP that ITB life....

[@FOREVERHUNGRYXGAIJINTHEARTIST]

Really appreciate the detail and breakdown of the K20A, You don't see this much info in other swap vids.

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

watch Boosted boiz

[@TrichbeeT]

Love how your explaining everything going into the build and telling us what we'll need for it! So much less research to do

[@steveafanador6441]

That guy needs his own channel. He's pretty damn good👍👍

[@Love4boost]

Stuff like this is why I loved working in a shop that builds Honda’s. They’re so simple and pretty much everything from factory is better than the aftermarket so even if you don’t know much about building cars. If you got someone with that much experience just watching them and asking questions, occasionally getting hands on. Before you know it you’re pretty comfortable to do a lot of the work on your own. Also just having that knowledge handed to you from one of the og’s you can help others put together their builds based off what you learned.

You should buy a classic Mustang in Grabber Blue and name it Papa Smurf.

Wisest thing I was taught about doing an engine swap is getting a new harness. It will save you so many problems

[@Rskip27]

Keep these videos coming. Favorite youtuber ever.

[@wagendad319]

Great to see an investment in a Honda, apart from Honda specific youtubers, most of them disregard Hondas, for boosted, rwd/4wd platforms. Having owned a dc2 98 spec JDM type r, and a lot of various ek civics, they don't get the credit they deserve. The reliability and how easy they are to work on really makes them the ideal entry to car modifying 😎 You dont need huge bhp to have fun on some b roads, just a well set up fwd Honda 😁

[@SharinganSora95]

Keep the info coming. Currently have a K24 thats gonna go into an integra and these videos give so much info thats super useful.

[@The1995]

Congrats David! I owned several Hondas back in the day and it was always my dream to K swap them. I ended up going German (lol) so it never happened. Now I want a K swapped Honda again haha. Keep it coming man!

[@miguelalvarado8120]

Can't wait for the next part(s) in this series! This is the first K-swap I've seen using a JDM K20A with the red Honda valve cover (other people might have done it, but I haven't seen it lol). So cool! All the other ones that I've seen are either K20 or K24 from a USDM Acura RSX (20) or TSX (24). Also I love the detail that David (HR David, not TDIB David, lol) goes into with this process. He's like a human Honda encyclopedia lol. Learning something new every video. Keep up the great work! :)

I did this 10 years ago on my 97 Del Sol. : Google K20a del sol! That's me ^__^! You'll love it David, it burns oil, and that's okay. just watch and change your oil religiously! I cant even begin to describe the abuse i've given this motor, and it hasn't had an issue in the 10 years of ownership.

[@SleeperHonda]

be careful High RPM powershifting 3-4, dont accidentally go into 2nd! OK, have fun be safe!

No blue loctite on fly wheel bolts and also why wait until you had you motor back together with trans to clean it?

[@ripperhigh8001]

loctite on the flywheel bolts is a debated issue, the factory service manual doesn't tell you to put any, and some clutch manufacturers dont recommend it either. Proper torque method is key

[@israelcardona5170]

@@ripperhigh8001 they also don't recommend you going to 9000+ rpm but that's what's going happen and unless that motor is built and had been harmonically balanced (which it hasn't) the thing can shake with can cause everything to get lose. Loctite doesn't hurt and save you a lot of time a worry.

[@dschybrid1470]

Israel Cardona I’ve done probably 100 clutch jobs on these engines and have never used any thread lock on flywheel bolts. Honda does not call for it, we don’t use it. No issues.
