World's Cheapest K-Swap In A Civic

cheapest k-swap in the world. this video was filmed several months ago and some things have been changed since then. I will be posting an update video soon to show the progress.

[@johnathanjps]

My man is high asf or tired lol awesome build though

[@ThatstaticEKHatch]

Fosho

[@MrOscarLong]

Great job! The solution for the passenger side axle i believe is to get an rsx type-S halfshaft.

[@importfanboy7805]

mad props more people need to build cars like this.. seat time over build time for sure

[@WaySydeBeats]

I love this, this is definitely home made

[@WesamSaleem1993]

Doing this ATM but using the accords fuse boxes with the complete cl9 steering column to run the key and imobaliser system

[@Ontheregz]

A conversion harness and immobilizer delete would have made this soo much easier. You need ekk4 mounts for accord trans with eg sub and rsx half shaft.

[@kxmoto29]

It would have made it a lot easier but also more expensive. I was doing it on the cheep 😉

[@Naseemtheking]

Im working on a similar swap. How can I confirm that you're right about the mounts

[@apehouseprezahg6665]

I love how you handled the issues you came across n addressed them later. I'm doing. A similar build in a dc2 rn. Thanks for the help

[@Naseemtheking]

This is interesting. I checked this video out a while back. Now I'm doing a similar swap (I'm going with the type S harness, conversion harness from ebay, and k pro). Everyone else on the internet had me convinced you need an aftermarket shift plate, custom line kits. They said the stock exhaust manifold wouldn't work. I was convinced you needed the $600 swap axles, and I'm assuming you stuck with the stock intermediate shaft since it wasn't mentioned. Thanks for the vid, lets see how this goes. The deadline for this car show is in two weeks.

[@kxmoto29]

The intermediate shaft is from a manual awd crv i think. The details are getting a little foggy its been so long ago. But shes still running great!

[@bbyboyd1046]

thats cool im in the process of doing what but with a whole tsx engine harness and dash harness

[@mangi-iscool]

Dude back there grinding through a bank vault door.

[@bseries8826]

Nicely done

[@kxmoto29]

Thanks for watching!

[@bobbyto18]

Awesome work !

[@wewe000355619]

Great video. Im doing this but using a 8th gen civic si. And I just came across your video.

[@kxmoto29]

Thanks! I would love to see your project!

[@Loustylz203]

so you left the civic fuse box n stuff for just the lights and accessory's?

[@getdinked]

nice work man

[@kxmoto29]

Thanks!

[@budgetbuild914]

Can you make a update video on this civic

[@kxmoto29]

I am working on it. Stay tuned!

[@3030rey]

You are the only person in the planet that buy a eg subframe for 39$ come on keep it real

[@Naseemtheking]

junkyard prices

[@kxmoto29]

Yep i bought everything i could from our local self serve salvage yard.

[@bbyboyd1046]

im planin on ac and power steering as well

[@hondagamer79]

Yeah, this is the cheapest k swap. I have seen it's accord now, not civic bc of everything

[@Leon6D]

Hi informative video! if I do k24a2 swap to my em2, ca I use all same factory stock accesories from k24a2 too? thank a lot?

[@arteTnoeN]

How did you modify the T bracket? I have everything from an accord but don't want to pay $700 for the hasport mounts. The ebay mounts are made for k20 transmissions.

[@hondagamer79]

You have too

[@bbyboyd1046]

how did you put the under dash i know it would have to be alot of plugs not pluged in and did you have to run the vsa switch as well?

[@kxmoto29]

I built my own conversion harness with 2 relays so i could run the accord harness with the accord ecu and the ek cluster. I got rid of the 2 accord fuse boxes and the accord ignition switch

[@bbyboyd1046]

@@kxmoto29 is there anyway you can show me or tell me because i was thinking of doing the same thing i have a whole donor car to do it

[@kxmoto29]

@@bbyboyd1046 send me an email to [e-mail] i can send some pictures and maybe a few diagrams.

[@bbyboyd1046]

cool i will now

[@ceonwright8330]

Bigest budget swap I see with the kseries this is budget

[@oneday3857]

My cheapest was when I found myself in someone’s else’s 😐🤫

[@kxmoto29]

🤣🤣

[@MegaHomieJ]

Did you also use the accord transmission? I bought the hasport mounts to use the accord transmission and it set me back $620 after shipping and taxes.

[@kxmoto29]

Its an '08 accord transmission and we had to modify the rear t bracket. The hasport mounts are a good option if you dont want to do any fabrication.

[@WesamSaleem1993]

Can you please send me pics of how U modded the trans bracket from these mounts

[@kxmoto29]

Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@chrisstratton3430]

I know this is an old post - I did THE EXACT same thing with an 04 accord parts car into an EF. I needed the EK4 mounts and a custom shaft on the drivers side - the passenger was a RSX base shaft. What did you use?

[@kxmoto29]

I used stock left and right RSX axles, ebay ek k swap mounts, modified the T bracket to work with the 08 accord trans.

[@chrisstratton3430]

He brother - thanks for responding! I should have mentioned mine is an EF (CRX)... I'm a bit confused by your use of the in take regulator - since I can't see your rail in this video I am assuming that it is not the stock rail, that you in fact have an aftermarket rail with a supply in and a supply out type setupp? Thanks again brother.. !!! Really grateful for you for taking the time to respond. I absolutely love the torque that kicks in right before 3000 RPM when VTEC engages. Spins 2nd and 3rd instantly on the stock rims and tires.

[@kxmoto29]

Yes i am using a stock unmodified rail. I have an ebay fuel pressure regulator set up in line just before the rail.

[@arteTnoeN]

Your transmission is from a civic or rsx… that driver side mount doesn’t fit on the accord transmission

[@kxmoto29]

The trans is from a newer accord '08+ which the drivers side mount fits but the rear t bracket mount does not. Had to heavily modify the rear mount to make it work.

[@arteTnoeN]

@@kxmoto29 this video is kinda misleading... the transmission... I respect the fact that you did the 4 fuse boxes and wiring, but you should have mentioned the newer trans. Only the expensive hasport mounts will work with the older accord k24 transmission

[@kxmoto29]

It was an empty case we had laying around. We used all the guts from the older '04 transmission. At the time i bought the mounts i didnt realize they werent compatible with the accord transmissions. Luckily we had that trans case laying around..

[@kevinflores903]

How did you use your accord trans? Did you get a specific mount for the trans?

[@kxmoto29]

I modified the rear torque mount to work and the left side mount bolted right up perfectly

[@Van_frederick]

interesting

[@erikthehondaguy7766]

How about the PS pump? Any issues closing the hood?

[@kxmoto29]

No. It closes just fine and i am not using any hood risers/spacers

[@bbyboyd1046]

how did u bolt up the ekk2 transmission mount for some reason mine is different

[@kxmoto29]

I had to fabricate the rear mount. And i used a transmission from a 08 Accord

[@jaziah2times]

What throttle cable u using?

[@kxmoto29]

The stock ek throttle cable and i made a custom bracket for it to fit.

[@BruceLee-xp5fc]

Are those base rsx axles ?

[@kxmoto29]

Yes they are. They are a little shorter than would be ideal but i havent had a problem yet.

[@7eis]

I hope you don't have a fuse blown lol

[@kxmoto29]

Lol

[@jaziah2times]

What cold air intake?

[@kxmoto29]

I pieced somthing together from leftover intercooler piping

[@Yellowteethbite]

Hey man how have the axles been holding up ?

[@kxmoto29]

Actually they are working great! Definitely will be using those for our next K swap project😉

[@aliniksejel6943]

Jesus what kind of crap is this? 😂🤣

[@kxmoto29]

Lol yeah it was a little janky but it worked. It has been changed quite a bit since this video. I need to make a new video on it
