You just made that car 1000x better
Fantastic job on the build, you basically made a subaru s2000 lol
You said it, I thought it. When Honda doesn't care about the customers anymore and the Honda lovers build their own.
Got about 30 seconds into the video and had to stop watching, going to start with the blown motor video and enjoy the full length build series. I've got a serious K24T+86 addiction and that thing looks good!
anyone whos put T after a engine code to say its turbo charged is an absolute nonce to the car community lmao. go back to VW bro. next thing u know ur ghonna say ur car is STAGE 2 bc of your ignorance
Such a great edit to cap off a wild build. So incredibly proud to follow along with the journey and see this come to life!
The original powerplant is the only deterrent for driving enthusiasts from dubbing this one of the best track/street machines ever. Honda heart with a Toyota soul.
One man build crew damn. Much respect. Sweet build.
Epic!! Such an amazing build! The updates are fire. I'm hoping it will be a good reference when its my turn lol
Great job on the build
damnnnnnn first time on your channel! Props to u man!!! I hope and wish u all the followers to come
Very nice hammer around 0:40
what an upgrade!
VTEC! Awesome build
I want this. Subbed. Keep it up dude! 🔥
Great video and content. You just earned a subscriber.
That's insane! now I need to get me one of these bad boys :D
The engine looked brand new
You got a nice set of tools for such a small space.
this is amazing
More plZ!!!
Congrats
Almost perfect combo!😀drop low gravity, but pick reliable and efficient
It does raise the center of gravity a bit, but because the engine is shifted all the way back to the firewall the front to rear weight balance is actually better! Plus the K is about 150 pounds lighter than the stock FA20.
the neighbour was like "listen, here comes the hon- A BRZ!?"
Holy crap, good job man. I wish I knew how to do all that.
I learned how to do it all along the way. Took two and a half years, and I’ve learned more than I ever could have imagined during that time. If I could do it, then so could you!
@@BuildingWithSeanmy engine just went on my brz and I’m looking at doing the same thing over the next couple of years. Where do you suggest I start to learn? Anything significant that helped you along the way or just trial and error?
@@gerelife I dedicated the last two and a half years to creating this build series. Everything I learned along the way is in there including my mistakes that you should learn from. If you’re looking for where to start learning about this engine swap, then you’re in the right place.
you made the best decision in the world. that original engine is volatile. when and engine is know mostly for one specific type of fail then just walk away
That looked like a piece of cake.
Dude I wish 😅
@@BuildingWithSean lolol.
bro i want to pull the trigger on a new 86. But that dam motor man. I dont have the know how or patience to do a swap if it blows.
I don’t really have anything against the stock FA series motor, but K series is the most pragmatic for an enthusiast on a budget! (and I think it’s an all around superior motor)
some pulls next plz
Non car person: "I don't understand why he cares so much it's just a car!"
Me: "🙄......sigh"
Not everybody is going to get it, but if you know, you know. We’re a different breed, us car guys 😎
I wish you can somehow add Mitsubishi, and Mazda parts in there to make the ultimate JDM car.
Maybe Mitsubishi Evo seats, and stock RX7 wing 😂
What transmission was that?
Sorry if already asked.
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.
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!
1:56 im curious about the jack stand placment lmao
Forget the motor swap, I'm just here to check out his collection of shorts 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve got a whole rotation 🤣
I love honda,but with the new 1.6T from the corolla and yaris gr,going into the 86 and brz.there will be no need to use any swaps.
what year is your brz?
I’ve been thinking about this swap so much. How’s the drivability / vibrations for DD ?
To be honest it’s pretty shaky. I’ve done a couple things for the swap to reduce the NVH such as the ATI Superdamper, but with any engine swap you’re going to reduce the comfortability of the car. The CD009 transmission swap is also contributing to that. Really it’s not all that bad, but it’s certainly more than stock.
Only good memories, right? 😉
the boxter engine is why i dont even look at these cars despite liking them.
And who is that stud around 5:18?
K swap the world😮💨👌🏻
How much psi boost was the fa20 running when it blew? I was aiming for 260hp on gas and 290-300hp on e85 to keep it “safe” but now I’m having second thoughts lol
It was making 8psi and around 250hp at the wheels. I’m pretty sure the oil pressure dropped and that’s what caused it to spin a bearing. So make sure to run a thicker oil if you go turbo. Something like 10W-30 or 10W-40, and you should be fine. E85 will help keep the engine healthy if you have access to it.
So what trans are you using to mate to the k24 ? Dope Timelapse btw too
CD009 from the 350z
@@BuildingWithSean said you have to program the key for the ignition? Or straight up swap just harness and ecu ? Lol my bad for prying but this is dope
@@waynejordan7473 Didn’t have to do any additional programming for the push-button start. It’s a Haltech Elite 1500 stand-alone ECU and a pre-built wiring harness from KPower.
@@BuildingWithSean thank you . That’s what I was asking
What clutch option did you go with for the Collins adapter?
Can’t remember the exact spec off the top of my head, but it’s the 500ft-lbs rated, 6-puck, street clutch. It has pretty good feel to it, and not overly difficult to press to actuate.
@@BuildingWithSean Blinding, cheers mate. Glad to see it's all done
Anywhere you can fully enjoy driving with that amount of horsepower?
I live in Germany and +60% of our freeway has no speed limit.
Yeah there are 70-80mph freeway speed limits in the US but you just speed and risk it. I hit 120 on the highway like daily.
isn’t the k swap conversion kit like $10k? Anyway I think the frs/brz/86 is the new 240sx
KPower offers a full kit around that price, but that includes pretty much everything except for the K24 engine. Engine/trans mounts, driveshaft, complete wiring harness, Haltech Elite 1500 standalone ECU, all new engine timing components, etc. Fully comprehensive.
what is the white thing you took out at 0:55?
Fuel pump
inspired by who uses the K24 engine in the BRZ
How many miles was it on the engine I thought you were going to change the guts out
It was a “Low-Mile” JDM engine that I got from an importer. Estimated 50,000ish miles. The K24 can handle 450-500 hp pretty easily, so for my goals I didn’t feel the need to go fully built internals. If the goal was 600+ I definitely would.
Everyone really needs to stop using subaru boxer engines, especially Subaru! LOL
I see blown engine 86s all over for so cheap. How expensive is a swap like this?
If you swap a naturally aspirated K24 and use the stock transmission, it can be done for around $14k-$15k. Mine is turbo, uses a CD transmission out of a 350Z/G35, and a lot of other aftermarket parts, so if you wanted to replicate the build it would be closer to $25k. I’m about to put out a full video explaining how much the whole swap cost, so stick around for that.
no way he only has 1k subs
Yep. 3 years and 1,000 subs. We’re blowing up right now though! Stick around for Phase 2 of the build!
What transmission did you use?
And driveshaft?
CD009 out of an ‘08 350Z and the drift shaft is a custom, one-piece, aluminum that I had fab’d at a local shop.
Subaru needs to get away from the boxer platform. I understand it's their thing and I've loved many of their vehicles, but they're just ass compared to other Japanese engines, particularly Honda and Toyota. K24 was absolutely the best choice too, I love those engines. I had an all motor K24 that dyno'd around 250HP, my next one will be turbo, but the NA was so fun and responsive.
yk the brz is bad when u gotta honda swap it lol
If only it had at least 500 horses...
A couple of fuel mods, and a few more pounds of boost, and it’ll be right there. It’s built to be able to handle that much power, but we had boost issues on the dyno.
Beauty of the K24 is that it could have 500 hp.
Good for you getting rid of that trash Subaru engine
This is an insult to Subaru, and a disrespect to Toyota. Never put a Honda engine in a Toyota, that's a big NO in the Toyota community.
I think it’s pretty cool
🤓
This car was already an insult to Toyota, at least he can remedy some of the damage 😂😂
You know how many MR2s are Honda powered? Tons😂
Toyota doesn't make anything remotely even close to what the K can do, with the aftermarket availability. Got a K24 on the stand waiting to go in my MR2 now
