Budget CRX K-Swap PART 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 12. 2017
- Did you like the Budget EG swap? This time we're swapping a K20 into an EF Chassis. The Budget EG K-swap was built for about $3200. Although the 88-91 Civic and CRX chassis requires a few more parts because of differences like cable operated clutch and mechanical VSS, we're hoping to do the swap for a similar amount.
Helping me is VTEC Academy alum Robert Diaz, who also owns Hush Performance. On this swap so we will be using Hush's EF cable to hydro conversion to convert EF's clutch operation over to work with the K-series transmission.
Along with more parts, the CRX has a limited amount of room in the engine bay making it a little tougher to fit. But follow our build and we'll figure out how to get it all to work.
In the first episode we make a parts list and give a general overview of the parts needed for the swap.

"Welcome to the vtec academy your about to get schooled" love the intro👍
This is the guy who was on two episodes of Pinks Racing vs the VW Beetle. I love what he said about the competition. Yeah, it’s a fast VW but VWs break and that’s exactly what happened.
Lol
4:16 I also cut out those heater hoses the same way. Never had a set that wouldnt come off, with enough patience and persistence. Gotta love how the oem Honda hoses like to melt themselves on. And yea I also learned the hard way the first time myself.
AcuraLvR 82 Ahahahah! Exactly!
Wish this was actually finished would love an update
i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?

Damn, I wish you guys had this project earlier this year, I've already started my k swap crx and it would have been great to see what you guys do with it. But I'll definitely keep following this series
You guys are freaking awesome. Thank you for spreading the helpful knowledge cannot wait to start working on my 89 CRX
Awesome, gonna save this to a K swap playlist for future reference!
Wisom is in short demand on YT, thanks Brian for sharing your knowledge. Much respect and this will be an A+ build.
Very cool, if I ever find a CRX/EF Hatch shell for the right price in decent shape I plan on throwing my spare K20Z1 in it. I'd love to make a light weight high revving EF K20. Glad you guys are working on the CRX, this is great info.
Dash-n-Cars sheap is better lol under $800
If youre in socal check offerup! I always see the same 2 CRX shells for $200 in temecula
Oh man. This is gonna be a an awesome build!
You guys are always doing some good work and good info as well 👍👍👍
im excited for this build!
FIRST TIME ON THIS CHANNEL. VERY GOOD STUFF IS LIKE GETTING SCHOOLED......
I cant wait for the auto to manual harness episode. I'm planning on changing my 07 element over to manual. Your a wealth of knowledge keep up the good work
Bottom line looks kinked in the rubber boot
I drive an FR-S but need a daily! About to pick up a CRX hatch and came across your channel! I’m excited as hell! :D
Love this budget builds!
splitting the heater core hose to get it off.. man i wish i had that knowledge 4 years ago. so much easier than removing the dash to replace the heater core after damaging it with the channel lock method.
There are a lot of good pro tips in here
love all these video's..this crx k-24 swap looks like it will require abit more work then any other honda chassis though.still look forward to watching part 2-3 etc..
Love this videos so much knowledge to be gained!
Love these build videos So much knowledge to be gained..🤘🤘🤘
Keep up the build videos!
Cant wait to see the next video!
Thanks for the great work man I appreciate the channel
Can't wait for more videos to come Vtec academy, I'm doing the exact same build on a 1990 crx but with a K20A2
Isnt the a2 considered the weaker of the k20s

Tim the tool man Taylor here, and today we'll be putting K24 into a lawnmower.
Goodballa on a nice riding mower... 🤔
@@VTECAcademy VTEEEECCCCCC!!!
Great video!
Dam. These guys are upload more videos than I am. Keep them coming
I can watch this guy fix hondas all day, the other VTEC academy hosts sound like they have no idea what they talking about.
Just caught "Super 2NR tv" on motortrend... and guess who I saw, swapping a crx in 3 hours !!! Awesome to see Brian back in the early 2000's
Been at this awhile.
looking forward to part 2

that engine bay is pretty clean....as in free of nastyass grime :)
Impatiently waiting for part 2 😂

Bulkhead, not firewall! Lol keep it up guys great content. Knowledgeable guys here!
Yep! First time I pulled my GSR engine I crushed the heater core pipes. So then I had the lovely task of pulling my dashboard and AC evaporator in order to replace my heater core. Also I think they're brass, not copper. At least it is on 3rd gen Integras.
I got an EF Civic Hatch 1990 Si with a 5 speed transmission with only 135k original miles on the stock D16 engine.
I got it from my best friend that unfortunately commit suicide back in March of 2017. I got the car from his family
after he passed away. He always loved the older Hatchbacks and wanted to swap a K20 into his hatch but never
got around to making it happen. Now that he's no longer alive and I own his car I feel obligated to swap a K20 into
it eventually. I feel like it'll help me find some closure with his passing back in 2017. The bad news is I don't have
much skill/knowledge with working on cars. Huge computer nerd but kind of a weenie when it comes to working
on cars. I can fork out the money to make it happen, but I'm looking for someone who's done this before that could
make it happen for me so long as I bought all the parts and paid the labor for the swap.
If anyone reads this comment and has a shop where they work on Hondas, or have swapped a K-Series engine into
an EF hatch before and you're looking to take on this job and make some $$$ all the while helping me out with my
friends dream of a K20 Civic Hatch.. please reach out to me and drop me your email and I'll get in touch. I live in a
small town in Northern Idaho (about 30 minutes from Spokane Washington) but I'd be willing to travel of course to
make this happen. Much love!

Ready for part 2
Justin Brown Totally!
VTEC Academy any updates?
Nah. czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
Two years ago I left a comment on this video that I also own an EF. I got it from my best friend who died back in 2017.
At the time, I mentioned how at some point I'd love to swap a K engine into it, but I'm not exactly a mechanic nor am I
experienced at all with swaps etc. I just know he bought the car anticipating to one day swap a K20 into it, and now I
feel almost obligated to have that done at some point in his memory. With that said, these days I'm doing much better
off financially. To the point where, I could afford a K20 engine, as well as everything needed to swap this engine into
my EF, but completely CLUELESS on how to do the work myself, or WHO to even reach out to that I could pay to do the
work for me? If anyone has any information on who I can see or where I can go to get this work done, I would be super
thankful! I live in the Pacific Northwest in a small town of Northern Idaho. I'm about 30 minutes away from Spokane
Washington. I'd be willing to drive the car up to 500 - 1000 miles roughly if need be in order to get the work done!
Of course I'd prefer to stay closer to my location if possible, but I'm open to practically ANYTHING to make this happen.
making me want to kswap my crx.
Great video doing a similar swap in my 88 crx but I got a k24a2
I need episode 2!
Gabriel J I know right?!? czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
Fantastic!
When for The Next part? 😍😍😍
Loris Verde 🤷🏽♂️ czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
That's cool using a wood drill bit to cut out the spot welds!
Bullet point bits are actually good for metal as well as wood. They can even be purchased with titanium coating. You may be thinking of brad point bits, those are for cutting wood.
i need to see part 2
Zainul-Arifin Zainuddin did you see it?
HEY BRYAN Gillespie big fan if your channel and your product.....m
Good info. FYI, someone may have used that cutoff wheel on aluminum.
Waiting on that parts 2 🤔
Steven Fernandez czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
Do a Da do a Da do a Da plzzzzzzzzz love you guys amazing work keep it up best channel on youtube :)
Love the vid. Is there anyway you can do a 4th gen Prelude build. I have seen them on magazines but not a single one on CZcams. Greatly appreciate the content.
Part 2! part 2!!

best honda ever!
3200$ is not bad... But you forgot the 2000$ worth of bong hits that is required for the process.
Sweet I was wondering what it takes to do it in a ef chassis. I wanna k swap my sedan on a budget. Already have a boosted crx. I just need a good daily
I have a '90 Honda CRX base model with a K24A1 out of a '04 CRV with a K20A2 stock head and oil pump. Do you think that I will be able to use the same mounts to fit this engine or will I have to go about other means? I'm unfortunately stuck in a time limit to make this happen as it needs to be done by November. Thank you so much.
so if you kswap a crx you wont have heat? or is there some ktuned kit? same with AC, is it possible or do you have to bend custom lines?
Hearing all this makes me wish I didn't sell my old 90 hatch... Oh well it got me my foxbody and I still have my 94 hatch
Isn't the k24 way too tall for the CRX? Is the valve cover going to be sticking out of the hood?
Take the hood off, finally…yay
I got a 02 base rsx swap with every thing for my crx..but i want to use a jdm k24a can I use the base RSX harness with the ECU..
How to you keep the mechanical speedo cable thing bolted in? Or you just pop it in there?
I'd love to know witch harness are usable I have 02 rsx auto harness and a 06 accord auto harness could go grab a crv auto harness no manual harness around here
What is the possibility that I could get a K24 to fit inside the engine bay of an 88 CRX HF?
Great series btw
What happened to part 4 of the EG K-Swap dyno? LOL, I'm curious to see, like others, the power it makes with proper bolt-ons.
I'm in the middle of a budget ef 4 door k swap with the k20a3 running on the stock ecu but can't get it running right
What size and brand pilot point dill bit do you use for the spot welds?
*grabs popcorn and several adult beverages*
And also is there a lsd you can get to eliminate wheel hop and reduce torque steer
There is an LSD available for K series transmissions. We haven’t got one yet.
I wish i still had my CRX :(
Do Boy's Garage same
a d16z6 e85 turbo with working ac
This wouldnt be a bad lil setup with an em2.
So does the mechanical vss sensor not work in the 03 si trans??
What kind of fuel injected engine will fit in a stock 1987 honda civic crx dx
Do a budget k series da9 integra build
do a dc2 budget k swap guys

Is there a part 2 ...in the works???????
DirtyCoTex czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
i would love for you guys to do a swap in a 2nd generation Honda Accord hatch. Im in the UK and want to know if a H22a will fit in the engine bay but cantafford to have my car off road while i check what will fit.
SimbaSoundPower the dohc ZC barely fits
a lot of work for 160-200ish HP and limited tq
what's wrong with a good old fashioned b18b1 and a small well designed turbo kit like a Greddy 18g
200 hp easy on pump
installs in 1 weekend including the swap
This looks really cool. Is there a way to make something like this smog legal in California?
Lack of Focus you can get your swap BAR’d. It’s a process that we haven’t done before though.
We’re is you shop at ? Am interested in the same swap. I have a 89 crx and I want a K24A4 Complete. Am really interested
I’ve been looking around and thinking about a K24 swap in my 92 accord i see some parts here and there and a lot of it looks like plug and play but I can’t seem to find a good instructional video or anything of that sort
I haven’t seen much on cb7s is there anyway you guys could help out the many many accord guys and gals out here looking to go k series
I'm thinking these build details could apply to a DA9 swap as well??
Mostly. We’re going to do one of those soon too.
Can you do a DC2 swap list next?!?
It’s mostly the same as the EG one we did a few months ago.
Lol is it just me, or does this older fella look like Tim Allen? Like a lot.
Great video btw.
Wonder where he's located i live fairly close to him!!
What's the background music name! We love you from MANCHESTER UK,
Still making part 2?
Dave Merkley nope czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
So what did you guys do about the hood clearance
We’ll show you in a future video.
Where's part2
🤷🏽♂️ czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
What kind of mounts did you guys use? I’m planning on doing a budget k series but on da
edgar zepeda 🤣🤣🤣 probably innovative mounts 🤣🤣🤣
part 2 swap crx?? where is :D Greetings from Poland
Piotr Kowalczyk shoutout to Poland! We have part 2 done as well as parts 2, 3, and possibly 4. We’ve just misplaced part 2 at the moment. It’s coming soon!
czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
Super thanks guys
Is part 2 coming?
Dave Merkley Yup, czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
Hi How many days finished K20 swap ??
I’m considering doing K swap as well in my rex. Would love to have these guys do it.
Where are these guys located?
I’m in SoCal....
We are in Phoenix AZ.
VTEC Academy nice u guys tune custumer cars? Degree cams etc?
VTEC Academy im in Tucson! Still working on part 2?
Awesome! You still doing the J swap?
Yes.
Can you make a video showing the headache to actually have a k swapped crx and have it done legally in the state of CA?
Abel guy I’m pretty sure you need to have a best friend who’s in the system to get a k20 88-91 crx bar’d... that engine is too new for that chassis and here in Cali it’s been hell for some people I know. Your best bet would be a built h-series and swap it every 2yrs when smog comes around. H is a drop in swap, where once you go k, no coming back.
Move.
At some point we will try to do a CARB legal build. I need to figure out some thing and find a connection over there as well.
part 2???

Hello I have a 1986 Honda Civic that went threw a 1.5 year to restore it ...is it possible to put a k20 motor in my car ? I was wanting to put a type r with a Lsd but the k20 is a nice set up .I am just not sure
The K20 engine will fit in the 1984-1987 Civic Look for a future project car with that engine.
@@VTECAcademy thanks for the reply as I wasn't sure if the k20 set up would fit .
I will be on the lookout for up coming videos on this set up in my 86 Civic .. thanks again for the reply
Man this channel likes to make videos and never finish. Waiting on part two of this car and the pikes peak build.....
Carlos Garcia The Pikes Peak build is our project, we were just featuring it. Budget EF K Swap is all us tho! czcams.com/video/T56oTPKZf-M/video.html
