- In this HUGE episode we are K-swapping a super clean (and somewhat expensive) EK Honda Civic we got off a granny and dropping in a K24 we got out of a cheap and grotty Honda Accord Euro we got off a mate called Sprongle. Will it transform our grocery getting slow hatchback into an epic performance vehicle? Let's find out!

As much as we all love to hate on the d series, a d16y6 with a gt35r it ridiculously fun and bullet proof.
Back in the day my buddies and I could do a d to b swap in 45 mins 😂
What an excellent video, the story, the adventure, the people and the build were the best use of the interballs I've seen in a while, thank you guys
wish you guys did a full build on a civic including turning it into fulltime 4WD
Buff the tail lights of the car, you will be shocked how amazing they turn out :)
As an old guy myself it's awesome to see Brian at the top of his game. Age doesn't dampen the enthusiasm for custom machinery.
experts who are generous with their skill and knowledge are the best people. What a legend
Brian never misses a beat, besides that one spring haha
With age comes experience and knowledge that is priceless
From what I've seen age doesn't dampen the enthusiasm and the years of experience add so much quality and professionalism it's amazing, big respect
Brain is a guru for sure much appreciated to all his research and development with motor swaps and motor mounts
These two stayed relevant for so many years. And still delivers.. thats a rare thing..
Not to take anything away from them but there is always new generation of car lovers.
Not only stayed relevant but just keep getting better every year
@@ruzkak.gamingIt’s more that they’re able to appeal to these new generations, quite growing with the older ones.
You remember when they were spending $200 on a build, doing fake turbo noises and picking snot out from under seats and filming it lol 😆 those are the videos we all wanted back when they started.
Only for MCM would people fly around the world to help them for a build. That speaks massively for how genuinely good people you are. Thanks for this VTEC extravaganza. What an epic video. The cinematics in the end is PURE MOVIE.
Brian seems like an amazing dude. Mad respect, that's not an owner just in it for the money he's in it for the passion and excitement
shout out to hasport for offering a lifetime warranty on their items...such a smart move to take the failures back in and learn from them to offer a better product to everyone
A 46 minute MCM Monday notification brightens anyone’s Monday!
I wish it wasnt 11pm.. just gonna watch it as breakfast tv ❤
Especially a bit of nomda action ❤
But it’s Tuesday in Australia hmm..
its tuesday mornin in aus
Tuesday morning in NZ 😁😁
I can tell Mr. Hasport genuinely had a great time with the mighty boys 🤙🏽
Brian seems like an absolute gentleman, you guys are indeed fortunate to work with people like him.
Honestly I cannot believe it’s been over 10 years that I’ve been hooked on MCM, they are the epitome of what a car enthusiast is! 🤙🏻
they still need to do a 2jz aswell, they've done Rb26, K24, B16,SR20, EJ's now they need the real holy grail of jdm motors. a freakin 2JZ-GTE
@@LegerAndCoThe holy grail in my opinion, is the C32B.
@irgv-tec2560 yet people are K swapping NSX's. C series is a cool motor, but nowhere's near the league a 2JZ when it comes to modding it. There's 2500hp 2jz out there churning 6secs in 1/4. An NSX or c32 or even c30 isn't doing either those things.
Grannas racing on the other hand.....
Love my Hondas but again C series was outclassed by a lot of straight 6s
@@LegerAndCo C-series back in the day, was a hell of a lot more expensive. And more rare. Compared to the 2jz being more numerous compared to C-series. Which is why I believe, it hasn't had a chance to have as much development from the aftermarket sector. compared to the rest of the engines out there. Guarantee the c series it would hold more power than a k series with the standard block. There are more k series out there less expensive and more aftermarket support that's why people go k series. As for what the c-series could achieve, really is unknown as there is not enough examples out there that could define what it could do.
As an ancient MCM fan (marty's Mom's driveway days), and a Honda fanboy here in the States, I'm so happy that y'all have finally given Honda a fair shake here (not in a bad way, just without the constant Honda bad jokes). No dream sequences, turbo whistles in exhausts, etc. The B16 was good too but having Brian on and doing a K swap is next level! 🙏
It was a D16 I think
i remember the driveway days :D
Completely agree with you here. Havent started the video yet, but I was really hoping it wasn't just another Honda bashing video. That got old real quick, probably the worst running gag
No glue on Brembo caliper covers this time.
Honda Gang
The fact you specifically looked for a shifter that wouldn't change the interior is mad respect
I’m only 15 minutes in and I already love this video. After a real crappy day at work it’s just what I needed.
I have a couple of Civics, the EK hatch being my absolute fav and dream car so it’s amazing to see you guys working on one!
Big dad energy from Brian. Seems like a kind, genuine as well as expert in his field!
Brian is awesome, he helped me with the mounts on my k20 swap in my em1.
This build might have the highest purity quotient of any build on this channel so far. Big fat NA power, proper handling, light weight. I really want to see them track this.
200 hp "big" ?
its purity cus k swapping is always a good choice
@@ZulousOGwould’ve rather seen a j honestly. These k swaps are so overdone it’s the only thing that’s NOT interesting about the video.
Love Bryan. Idk how many k swaps ive dine at this point and watch at this point but it never gets old. Just something so good about it
Dude this has been needed for years brian from hasport is a absolute legend this collaboration along with hybrid racing is so amazing
Scotty's little wink lmao he's the man, always loved MCM content, been watching you guys since you started in the driveway
Lol yeah if i had to guess it because he knows the motor should put down around 230whp and they weren't there yet
We were going to like your comment, but it's at 69 right now. So you get this comment instead. Scotty is rad!
haha let's go!!!!@@VTECAcademy
SO sick to see Hybrid Racing showing up on MCM. They're a fantastic company and make insanely good parts for Hondas!
MCM!! The channel that made me follow a degree in automotive engineering, specifically that honda swapped mini, epic built. And here I am, after several years, watching again a honda built on MCM 3 days before the graduation 💨. You guys influenced big time!!!
Wise choice getting V-tec Academy to work on this build. These are the guys you want on your tech team for sure.
Brian seems like an absolute legend!
He is...
First it’s Scott and Benny on Stanceworks. Now it’s Jerry & Jobe on MCM. Still find these crossovers to be surreal.
@@ropegiveragreed legend.
It's Brian! I remember the Hasport Hondas performed very well in the Hot Version Touge USA episodes
Seeing MCM, Donut and V-Tec Academy all in one video was heart warming.
As a regular of both channels, this crossover of MCM and Donut really feels like Christmas.
VTEC-Academy* lol Brian isnt from Donut
my bad... kept watching lmao
@@lexuspod donut has already released one of their crossover videos on their @realmechanicstuff channel. It came out probably the same day this did. I bet there will be more on their main channel.
I'm glad it was very short. They tend to ruin any video
@@mediocreman2who tends to ruin any video???
I'm not gonna lie. You get Finnegan & Frieburger onboard.....that's pretty awesome. You get Donut Media to come out. That's pretty awesome. You get Brian from Hasport to come to Australia and help you with a build.....THAT'S LEGIT!!!
The smile as Marty does the pull up the hill says it all! Cars, no matter what your into, should make you smile!
Hands down this video is one of the best I've watches on ur channel, soo good! Hit all the right points, the car, the people in the industry and good mates surrounding the shop walls. Thank you! Long time subscriber from the other side of the Mississippi, throttle down from Chicago dudes. ✌️
Brian is the man! He gave me the prototype mounts WAY BACK for the Bseries to the 84-87 civic/crx to get my car going and from that point on I had been a Hasport fan/dealer and supporter. He really takes care of people and keeps the community going.
Tuned in for MCM, and I got Brian from Hasport/VTEC Academy! That's a win.
Appreciate that! We've been MCM fans for like 14-15 years. (How is that possible?)
I love it! Love it all! Grew up watching all MCM and saw Donut grow, for them to be collaborating is amazing!!!
So stoked to see you guys working with Brian! What a legend!
Love how this wasn't split across 4-5 episodes. Now let's see it at the strip and the track to see how it works in real-life.
Might not be as difficult as the Type R Mini but the amount of planning, sourcing parts, travel from people and other work that has gone in to this video is mad. MCM always sets the bar high for their videos and keeps delivering, even after all these years. Brilliant work both. Massive respect for the effort that goes in to all of your videos.
Thanks, it was a lot of work but stoked with the result!
Such a lovely episode, so much detail, teamwork, positivity and general awesomeness! And what a cool result too
Almost 100 years old and Brian is still traveling half away across the world to do engine swaps. Legend.
The smile on Moogs face at the end was priceless!
His eyes just got wider and wider, brilliant. He really does love a sonic experience with their cars and the high revs really delivered
I don't care what anyone else but the EK is one of the best looking cars in hatch format. The grille/wheels/stance is perfect. And now with the K24 in there, that engine bay looks perfect. An amazing little car. Well done lads!
Completely agree!! I have a yellow one and I think it’s one of the best looking cars ever made.
One of the best? It iis in my opinion the greatest hatch ever made, more so when you drop a K-series in it!
This was a brilliant video just for the smiles on your faces on your road test
Bloody fantastic
Both of you where smiling from ear to ear
That makes the whole thing worth
Nice work
Wow, so many memories. Bought a set of Hasport back in 2008 for an H22 swap. I was broke back then but had to do it properly and put all into these mounts. Best thing I dis and rocked proudly the Skull logo. Great to see the person behind it and his passion still today.
Brian is an absolute legend…. He has been an inspiration of mine for almost 20 years
he was down for WTAC nice bumping into him.
Just want to point out, I’ve had Brian’s Hasport mounts since 1998/99 and never disappointed with it. It is still currently in my 91 civic stored away. He saved us back then in Canada
Hasport Brian is a legend. I love that guy.
There is no better car show for learning things than MCM. The old Wheeler Dealers shows were great, but you guys are next level. Thanks for all the knowledge and inspiration. It just keeps getting better.
Donut Media and MCM together is almost too powerful. They had to limit their time together in the video so that they didn't break the internet tubes.
MCM and roadkill was a good one too
@@TheNilla2020sadly they took the free episodes away😢
Don't ever put donut shmedia and these two gods in the same sentence pls
More like because of how annoying donut is and that's the opposite style of MCM
Maybe a few years ago. Now donut is clickbait tiktok bullshit.
Brian, is a Honda wizard. Great car guys! Brian and I put the same K24, no cams, in my 2038 lb 86 CRX and it made 220hp to the wheels and 200ftlbs. So you guys still have some HP left on the table. Mine hits the track for the first time this weekend! Keep the videos coming!
All that time work money and effort just to get whooped by a Golf R with a tune only.
Not a Civic or Honda fan, but this blew me through a wormhole into another dimension. This is an awesome build and every one involved are MVPs. The power it made on the dyno was nuts and the way it just rockets away when you put your foot down is insane...but do I see more potential for this build a level up...Absolutely
Finally a k swap civic ! Yes yes yes ! Keep it up boys this content is GOLD.
Love the reverse donut media title haha. Always like an epic civic build!
Brian is the MAN! He was the first person I talked to about my turbo K Series build. Now its almost done, and he helped point me in the right direction.
What an absolutely terrific sound coming out of that set up!! Wow!! For an engine/drivetrain putting down under 200 wheel horsepower and only 2.4 liters, that engine with that specific exhaust matched up delivers a very sweet low tone resonance that rises all the way up to redline even when those ripping tones enter the mix. Absolutely perfect. The beauty on the ears of carrying that low resonance all through the range of acceleration is that it never begins to turn into a painful shrill of all higher engine notes inside the cabin. That perfect.y blended tone ensemble tells you this thing is breathing perfectly for its tune which delivers that hard and smooth acceleration. It’s no wonder why folks are so addicted to that engine series. So cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Crazy to see the guy who probably designed the mount for my K-swap! Almost done an EM2 sleeper, these Hasport mounts were seriously a life saver.
This is one of my favorite MCM videos in a bit, and it’s not like I’ve disliked any of the other recent videos! Something about seeing a “budget” build with a lot of friends makes this video a lot of fun!
Huge fan of this project and how the video came out. Great watch, loved all the characters and the Civic looks incredible by the end. Job well done boys!
Very solid built... decent power and reliable power! Good job guys!
WOW THIS IS A DREAM BUILD- Brian is a legend! and Hasport and Hybrid Racing make the best Kswap Parts In my opinion! This will be your new favorite car I am certain of it
Can't believe Marty was thinking of stopping it at 195whp.
It’s always starts like that…. Next you know you have a 300whp car lol
Next video : I'VE TURBOED MY K24 CIVIC
you can do some headwork and rods and a k24 will do 300hp n/a all day
Absolutely Amazing!!!! this has to be one of the best civics ive seen ((my opinion) i love how marty and moog have evolved! one of my fav yt channels out there. cant wait to see this civic ripping past other cars!!
Shout out to whomever did the cinematography in the final minute or so of the film. Those shots were BEAUTIFUL. amazing build as well. It’s great to see three of my favorite channels unite for any reason, but for a Kswap? incredible 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Scotty's face when Marrty said, "We done?"
Really want to see the boys do a vehicle with a turbo doing 1k HP. . .
Seeing the collaboration of local legends and international brainiacs and superstars, all thrown together in a masterpiece is an absolute treat! MCM has always been about the people and moments shared, the things with wheels, are just a vehicle in which to connect and share the abundance of beautiful moments that take place, thank you guys! ❤
I must say, it's been a wild ride seeing you guys from the beginning, but really appreciate the journey. Much love guys.
Brian Gillespie aka Mr Hasport is the man! He is super down to earth and knowledgeable. I've met him at Speedworld here in Phoenix, AZ USA back in the day when he had his blue Honda Insight.
Staggering how far you guys have come. From installing an iPad dash to full engine swap, now in one ep, increadible.
These are the builds that keep me coming back to this channel. Amazing build and what a beautiful example of a civic to K swap.
You guys build some of the best cars in the world,not just because of the power or sound, sometimes the way you build a car and the style of the car is just amazing,not too flashy,not too over the top...just perfect.Saludos from Spain
Honestly this is extremely awesome.
Great job guys!
I have been watching you since I was a little bugger.
Nothing brings the lads together quite like a K swap. Good on you boys, K series the world!
I saw you guys on Donut Media, very happy to see them join you guys on this build. This has turned out to be a very fun collab, I hope you guys have more content coming up together. In the future I'd love to see you guys do a build off collab with Speed Academy that would be freaking awesome! Love how surprised Moog looks on the drive after the dyno run.
Which donut episode?
We've collabed with all 3. 😉 Not a flex! We are just psyched to work with such good people.
Marty, Moog, the whole team at MCM, you're international treasures, thanks for keeping my motivation up. ✌
44:43 that's the look of happiness from a k swap! Great to see the top bloke happy an in good form!
Bryan is a Honda legend. He is the reason the Honda race scene is still so hot
That smile on Moog’s face at the end said it all. He loves it 😃🤟🏼 Nice work guys!
Sheesh!! So incredible fellas and you brought in the legendary Vtec Academy's very own Brian!!
Even the Donut' crew showed up to the party also insane collabo🔥🤜🏽🔒🤛🏽🔥
Yessir!! MCM you guys always build the best whips
Mesa/Gilbert AZ in the house fellas LET'S GOOOO !!!
LFG!!! Can you believe Donut followed us to Australia?
That last pull was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, absolutely beautiful car. There's something about Hondas and you guys have shown it beautifully from the backyard fun of D series to the entry level street car Bseries and what might be the pinnacle K series
Build is amazing and most people don't realize how much effort goes into documenting the process and making a film like this. That's why I love your channel. Keep up the good work boys!
💪❤
That stationary rolling shotnin the tunnel was so beautifully framed
.just wow to that and the ceazy K swap with mates
I love the K swap, everything about the entire thing is amazing. I would love to have this for a daily driven ride. Cheers 🍻 gentlemen, love the videos!
Great video, awesome build! Thanks guys, keep up the good work
Such a great chasis for the k series ❤ owning an ep3 type r myself I'd suggest keeping the k24 block and swapping a k20 head which is way better 💪
How awesome is Brian! what an inspiration and absolute legend to come all the way to Australia to help out with the build. Way to go!
What a great project.....and what a team effort. Awesome result!
I'm literally not even halfway through, but I already know this is my favorite MCM video. It is so very hard to pick, mind you! But the absolute positivity and community you are showing here, learning from an expert and even publishing mistakes. Speaking so positively of your peers at all times. Truly an inspiration to ME, your channel is part of why I love the car scene and I can only speak positively of the fun, exciting atmosphere you generate. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but It is great to see the hard work that goes into extensively R&D'd parts, that make it so that modding these vehicles is more accessible for more people. Bravo everyone!
Brain is cool af and so chill and natural on the camera
Edit: that quadlock bipod/selfie stick looms perfect to watch more mcm while I'm cooking 😅
Brians a legend!!! Awesome work!!
I remember using hasport 20yrs ago to do the same swap in my K series. The plethora of information available now compared to 20yrs ago is phenomenal
MCM= mighty civic mods 😂😂😂
Man, you guys are awesome, and I have been loving these last few builds you guys have been doing. Keep up the awesome work, gents. I absolutely love it!!!!! 8000 Rpm sounds so good to the ear. Please will you guys take this to the track and run it, I think we would all love to see what this thing can do.
Wow, what a throwback. I was doing 90's Honda swaps and Brain was an 'OG with HASPort / LoCash.
Brilliant built guys well done!!you reminded me my old car project!EG3 with a b18c forged fully build from scratch high comp civic with the limiter at 10,000 rpm and 240 something horses build tran with lsd and all the goodies!!epic!!!it was exactly like that!!food beers and a banch of homies all day and all night!!
Brian is a legend, he was competing with hondas all the way back in that drag racing reality tv show where they raced for slips 😁
I think the show was actually called Pinks.
So cool to see Brian from Hasport - he's an encyclopedia of Honda info! was wondering why they all had MCM shirts on in their last live stream.
What a surprise to see Brian appear! Absolute legend! 😂 I’ve always used Hasport mounts over the years.
From the states this is one of the best yt channels! thank you!
Brian and mighty car mods together is so epic, my first swap I ever did, the hydro to cable b series trans conversion just came out, early 2000’s been stuck on Honda for life still till this day.
This is such a beautiful build. Clean, powerful, sounds and looks amazing, and brings a smile to everyone's faces. Just perfect. Well done, guys.
Fantastic, and that outro melody was awesome! Keep killin' it!
That was great well paced video good work guys
Thats awesome! HASport and Donut joining you guys. Very nice.
