Honda k24 SWAP Review so far!

[@dailycivicsi9295]

Yes sir

[@evoiv98]

whats up! anyone with a 8th gen civic with k24a2 that passes smog in CA? i want to swap my fa5 but want to make sure it will pass smog. It will be all stock with 50degree vtc. what will need to be done to get it smog besides all the sensors. what about ecu does it need to be flashed? or can i run stock thanks.

[@vonstrong92]

K20 makes all its power up top more for top end high rev k24 u get instant torque and mid range power but don’t get the excitement both still good can’t go wrong with either

[@averyalexander2303]

Awesome build, thanks for sharing! I'm going to be K swapping my ES1 as soon as I save up enough money to buy the rest of the stuff I need. Just curious if there is anything you don't like about the K24 compared to the K20?

[@TheGerbsteve]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. I have an es2 that i should swap a k into haha. The only two main things that I like k20>k24 for are the vtec sound of the k20 and the high revs.

[@averyalexander2303]

@@TheGerbsteve Cool, thank you! Yeah the K20 does sound cool at 8K+ RPM lol, but I think the K24's extra torque would be more fun than the K20's higher redline for daily driving. Hopefully my 08 JDM K24A with the RBB2 head doesn't disappoint LOL

[@FA5Abe]

My z3 just crapped out on me yesterday so will definitely be going K24 now 😈 thanks Gerb

[@halezz5807]

Whatsup Gerb! Just wanna thank you for helping me convincing myself owning a civic is alright. People often see a Honda and instantly brand it a ricer without even trying to look at the mods we've done to them. I honestly right now would prefer to have a E46 M3 or a WRX STI but I can't afford that maintenance on a college student budget, which is where Hondas shine affordable maintenance and fun to drive! I'm a proud owner of a 06 Civic SI FG1 thanks to you and the civic community on youtube. Have a good one!

[@ricogatdula5113]

I think the si is an fg2, I also have an fg2. Welcome to the Honda community!!

Swapped my motors out 2 weeks ago, best thing I've done to it since I first went bolt on, been watching your videos bro. Thanks for the specific details when you did yours, luckily all I did was disconnect hoses, and sensors, and steering and dropped the subframe slid Z3 out, slid 24A2 ride under haha same way from the front on the ground, no machine Lyft, just floor jacks and stands.

[@youngb1ood]

You know what? For $650. It was well worth it for the swap, even if you paid someone extra for installation. I personally wouldn’t have fiddled with it and just paid the higher cost of the 2012-2015 civic Si which already comes with the K24.....

[@TheGerbsteve]

It was, but honestly, I do love the 9th gens. And yes, the 9th gen comes with the k24z7, but my k24a has the “true” I vtec head. Doesn’t really matter too much, but the top end is sweet and I can make about 240hp with full bolt ons, dyno tune. 9th gens only seem to make it to 220hp max. Just didn’t really want a car payment and restart on another si project right now.

[@youngb1ood]

@@TheGerbsteve I’m not sure if I saw it in your previous videos, but, how did you fix that electric power steering issue on your car? And how much money did you invest on that fix? My car has heavy steering turning right, but very light steering turning left.

Is this the jdm engine that comes in the tsx also? K24a2 in the US I think it is. Gonna buy another engine for my fg2 soon looking into going with another stock k20 or a k24. Heard if you go k24 the tsx motor is the way to go.

is the jdm k24a good for a high rev k20/k24 build?

Depends on ur idea of high rev. Stock k24 block 8000rpm is still alot but you can get away with it for a while

@@lollol-xp4mc I like how my k20z1 revs rn at 8100 but more power and torque from a k24a. I think 8000 on stock block with RSX-S parts is reliable but I would want to build it so I can see 8800-9000.
