My New Drift Car!
What's up guys it's finally time! I've been hinting at this for at least a month, and I'm excited to say that I've just picked up my first dedicated drift car! With that said, she's not the most perfect cookie in the jar. She needs some work, but VERY soon we're going to be rippin' her on track!

    If this was the kpower kit I was getting that throttle error because on their website they have a basemap that is included on their purchasing page which idk what that is but its wrong. If you go to their resources page it has a completely different base map listed specifically for haltech 1500 k24. Mine wouldn't even turn over on the first map. And instantly started up on the latter after injector size adjustment.

    Do you plan on taking it to the track? I love seeing the swapped brz's and 86's but I don't usually see people drive them much after the build series. Idk if you have any tracks near you but maybe a track series? That would be cool.

    • @BuildingWithSean
      @BuildingWithSean Před 19 dny

      It will see track time eventually, but not yet. This car is my baby, and it took 2.5 years to complete. I’d hate to take it to a track, blow it up, and immediately put it right back on jack stands. I’m building a G35 as a dedicated drift car, so if you want to check that out make sure to stick around!

  • @AttackAssetto

    Great video! Just wanted to chime in for anyone that's thinking of doing this swap but doesn't have 25k to spend. I did a basic NA K24a2 swap, stock trans and clutch, with no AC for $7, 612. This includes the purchase of the complete kpower swap kit, a US k24a2, oem honda timing chain parts and oil pump. I sold my original 2017 FA20 for 4000. If I add in the sale of my OFT, tomei header/OP/front pipe, perrin intake and verus AOS the price comes down into the high 5k range. I've been daily driving my car for over 2.5 years now with the swap and its so worth it. The swap is also super easy and can be done in a weekend by yourself.

    • @BuildingWithSean
      @BuildingWithSean Před 25 dny

      You’re most likely going to need a tune. The reason you get pops on decel is because you’re adding more fuel in the engine than can be combusted, so it ends up igniting in the exhaust. Same with flames tunes. They just dump fuel into the engine and it combusts either while the exhaust valves are open or inside the exhaust itself.

    • @BuildingWithSean
      @BuildingWithSean Před 28 dny

      Most likely it will not pass. Even if you have cats and everything to actually pass the emissions test, the Haltech is not setup to output emissions test data. At least that’s what I’ve read online about it. Definitely do some research though, I could be wrong. I’m currently working on a fix for this as well 😅

One note about welding the pipes aluminum or steel which helped me a lot, you always want to have beveled edges while welding two parts together. It helps a lot with material penetration and the quality of the bead. Anyway I admire you work on this car, keep it up! :D

  • @rs3672

    Been looking at this swap but after reading some post swap reviews, a lot of people complain about drive shaft vibration. Not sure if due to elimination of balance shafts or drive shaft issues, but do you see any issues on a street driven car?

    • @BuildingWithSean
      @BuildingWithSean Před měsícem

      The K-series engine in general has a lot of vibration. Most of the complaints I’ve seen are from folks who modified their stock driveshafts. Since I used a different transmission I got a custom, one-piece, aluminum driveshaft. Also, switching from the stock oil pump with the balance shafts to the Type-S increases NVH. Kpower is working on an update that uses the stock oil pump, so keep an eye out for that.

This is not for everybody and is the most difficult undertaking I've experienced so far. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it a second time? Absolutely not. Lol.

      I’m sorry to hear that man that sucks. Yeah pretty much any engine swap will cost you $10k or more (depending on who you know and how cheap you want it done). What’s the condition of your engine? You said it’s blown, but is it just knocking, is there a hole in the block? If it’s not too bad you might be able to have your engine machined and put back together, but that would probably be similar price to just getting a replacement FA20.
