Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 05. 2024
- The K Swap has always stood as the holy grail of engine conversions in front wheel drive Honda fashion. With an abundance of K-Series engines produced across Honda’s line up, the motor has become an absolute no brainer for performance transplant options. People are flocking to these very affordable yet, highly potent naturally aspirated VTEC engines. The growing popularity of it all has now seen these engines span into the world of rear wheel drive and today we see how it performs at its finest in this beautifully built K20/K24 Swapped AP1 Honda S2000.

NEVER F20C stays in my S2000 for good 😎 just sounds unique unlike any other Honda motor..
Amen brother
Agree 👍
Love the F20C but it’s very cool to see something different and unique being done!☺️
if i owned a s2k I would preserve the engine in the garage and keep blowing up k20 engines lol then finnaly when I garage queen the car Put back the F20C if I was in your guys path .
@@soloacabrera2583 blow up a k20? I have tried. Lol. Not actually easy to do.
So many people saying K swapping was a bad idea... literally almost every race team Ive seen that uses s2k have moved to K series motors... F series engines are great but they are expensive and not highly avaliable... K series are literally everywhere, and their after market support is only growing.
And that is why the f20 is better, it’s obviously really expensive for a reason ...
K truly is the future! People are going to look back at this in five years and realise they missed the very affordable K-Series boat.
@@bige7186 uhh, it's actually because they only ever came out in the s2000. The K series has higher power potential especially when you consider k24 stroker kits can reach 2.7l of displacement, in a 4 cylinder. I know of a K tech stroker kit for the F20C which brings the motor to 2.4l... otherwise a stock K24. Without opening up the engine, and using only bolt ons and e85, the k24a2 can reach 240 hp, but the F22C usually can get to around 220-230
@@inaNis_ higher potential or not, just face it the mighty f20c is the superior motor all around 👍🏼 CONVERSATION OVER.
@@bige7186 Dude. If the K24 has higher potential, it's a better motor. That's what it means to be better.
Damn that s2k’s paint looks brand new! 🔥
So clean!
Love the K series, but I would only do the swap if I blew the f20/22. The F is KINDA like a built K from factory. its just special.
@@Ahsangill19 no it isn’t. Spend 10k on upgrades to either motor. Better yet 15k. Who makes more and better power.
@@mugengt142 first off every dyno is different and sea level is different. It’s common knowledge that you can’t get more power out of a f20/22c motor as easily as you can from a k series. And let’s not talk about each engines max power. Cause obviously more cc will give you more power. If the s2000 had a choice between k20a2 and f20c. Then I know which motor I’m going with. K20 will make more torque just because ivtec. Better powerband. It would respond better to bolt ons. And surpassing a f20c with bolt ons. Then once you get into building the engine. The k will blow away the f.
@@mugengt142 It has nothing to do with being broke or not. You have millionaires that spend money on everything and there are millionaires that always count their pennies. And you got broke people doing the same thing.
@@youtubecomments5951 you're missing the fact that stock for stock they're not that different. Most people will only ever do bolt-on's and a tune at most and be completely content, let alone dump 15k into one or want to swap an entire engine. You'd have to offset the cost, time and complication of swapping a K series before you can even start comparing the two engines, and at that point most people find the cost per performance hard to justify, even when the K series is undoubtedly superior as an engine. None of this stops the F series from still being a damn good engine. The k swap is really only for people who are serious about peak performance.
@@NitroNuggetTV ok I’ll say this then. The k20 is a better platform to start out with and I’ll say again. If the s2000 had a choice of a f20/22 k20/24. I’d go k series all day. So bottom line. The k is a better motor
awesome video bro - first video I've seen from you in a while and I'm so proud of how far you've come in terms of video quality, content, presentation and overall presence. well done bro
Can't wait to see you explode even more bros
This is by far one of the best builds I've seen.
the production quality of this video was incredible
Feeling proud of my 2001 Stream with k20a under the bonnet and happy as hell 4 years now. The best family guy's car possible. I call it Shinkansen ;-P Funny, spacious, reliable, trouble-free, stands out in the crowd.
I am still in love with the F20C. 9000rpm is intoxicating and visceral. TBC still gives me a much more connected feel than the later F22 DBW. I regret the day I sold my 02 AP1. I kept track of it and one of the new owners totalled it :(
Built k24s spin to 10k no problem
@@lazybullitz3821 i doubt it, a k24 7k rpm has piston speed higher than k20 8k rpm, unless destroked even if built that k24 is not going to last that long
@@ulisesavila2879 you must not know much bruh tbh. There is a whole class of cars doing that in the 7's. I think some guys are spinning them to 11k with all billet motors
Spoon F20C‘s rev to 11k rpm
That's exactly how I want my s2k to look like. Can't wait to get started on mine.
Nice job describing this stunning build. You earned a subscriber.
That car looks killer, paint is ultra glossy and sounds amazing :)
I think for most people remaining F is the way. I'm at 189k miles *knock on wood* no issues. 04/05 F22 FBO w/ greddy EMU. between me and previous owners over 60+ track days and countless touge time. If you need to get competitive, blew your motor etc. that is a whole nother thing though.
I'm going to love mine since it's built, forged, cammed and built by 4 Pistons. The engine cost more than the s2000 R title shell, then there's turbo parts on top of that cost. Woo! It's going to be a good summer!
damn where can i follow you on ig to get updates on your build ?
F20C Still legendary, but ain’t nothing wrong with being different 🤙
I think alot of S owners will be switching to K series. I think I will be once my engine goes out. I am at 208k miles but I keep it back in my mind so when it does go out.
Im building an LS turbo mustang currently but the next project I do will most likely be a k series swap. Such a clean and compact motor with great potential. This s2k looks phenomenal, great build 👍🏻
I have always wanted a s2000 Honda.
Great looking car.
Amazing content as always, love your show Clay. ❤️
Beautiful build, I love it.
I would personally go the FI route with supercharger instead of k swapping. F series seems such a good match to the s2000 chassis. An engine that only came on a specific car says a lot. And really you can't beat the OEM plus look. Good build though
Love all the different styles of modifications for these S2000’s!👌🏻
Perfectly said 👏👍🏼
Well F series isn't specific to S2K , it's a derivative of the fwd prelude and accord engines...
@@ArtVandelayOfficial different kinds bro
@@ArtVandelayOfficial only thing the same is the letter.
Never seen something like this it’s mad beautiful
What an absolutely stunning looking car. Wouldn't change a thing.
So glad I got myself a Acura TSX 2004 k24
I LoVE driving it!
Excellent video!
Really good. I hope one day I get an S2000 and enjoy the F20C first, probably with the AP2 transmission. If the F20C gets blown, I'd definitely swap with a K24.
I got a few things this past year from elusive racing for my EG sedan Civic b18c2 build.
😎👍
What's your fb or Instagram would like to see your build
Beautiful!!
I've driven a tuned k24 s2k and driven a lot of stock S2k's. doesn't beat the F series.
I smell ssss
I smell 🧢🧢
BEAUTIFUL CAR!
Good lord that thing is Gorgeous
One of my favorite things about the s2000 is the awesome seats that it has that this owner decided to get rid of..
But those seats can‘t really hold you in place, i throw them out at swell lol
S2000 seats gots to go
What an absolute beauty .
The F series is superior to the K in stock form in every way. I feel like swapping it out kinda takes away from what the s2000 is and was intended for. The fastest s2000 in the entire world is an f series engine. And there’s so much support for rebuilds of the f series now, there’s literally no reason to go to a k series. Plus, here in Cali we have to stay smog legal so a f series engine swap won’t work. But cool video ✌🏻✌🏻 we will keep our f series alive! We’re a die hard bunch of gear heads that own the s2000.
Really plays it up. No cost estimate on the change over.
WOW that thing is beautiful
I’ve never seen someone soooo excited to drive a k-series 😵💫
That crank start sounds just like my k24z crv hahaha btw nice build man love it 😀
Such a great engine the k series is especially when turbocharged or ITB, the F series is impressive as well I read somewhere you can get 600-700 hp out of it with stock internals. I don’t know what I would do if I had a s2k keep the F series or go for the K 🤔.
i made 600hp on stock unopened engine with e85 an a precision 6262...only payed 12k for the s2k with a metal widebody
Ye i took a interest in the F20C cause wanted to place it in a DC2 and ye their internals come forged from factory so you can run 30psi on a stock F20C block if i'm not mistaken and that's pretty cool
I made 615whp on c16 and 515whp everything stock besides injectors, clutch, and a full race kit. Made it 4 years of abuse without issue then a head gasket went.
There's guys pushing 950whp with just valve springs and head studs on f22c1 stock block. You definitely need to have a good tuner.
Love it, just what it needed.
You had me at Air conditioning 🤣 AC is must for me.
What a beauty 😍
Red Hondas always look the biz. Love it.

Niceeee feature
maybe for racing k series is a must, but the uniqueness of the s2k is the f20c/f22c , the agressive vtec crossover is part of the car personality
Beautiful S2000 so much attention to detail .
I know the intake from the F20 is a bolt on to the K20/24 . Is they exhaust manifold the same ??
Impressive camera work in the intro.
I had the option of k swap or F24 motor from inline pro… chose inline pro stroker sleeved 2.4 L
Just curious, what is your camera setup? awesome vids btw!
Love the car BUT what camera was used for the B Roll during that first minute???? Sooo good!
Great Vid! Love S2K’s!
Top 3 best looking s2k
Sick video. Next time can give us some time with the car sounds only. Would have liked to hear that thing through a few gears by itself.
And man that S2K
bruh this video is so damn beautiful
What a car.
Oh SHt that was westall road... cool. My neck of the woods. Just got to keep an eye out for HWP at the top hehehe
I like to think the S2000 is more than just a faster MX-5. The glorious 9,000 rpm redline is what makes this car special, and you can drive it that way any day of the week. The F20 (F22 in some markets) defines this car more than any other component. Yes, the K series is powerful, reliable, available everywhere and has tons of aftermarket support, but that will pretty much just turn your S2K into a RWD convertible Civic or Accord. It can also lower its resale. You may as well get a much cheaper random Mazda roadster if you’re gonna do the swap. There’s also a folding hardtop option from the third gen onwards.
been trying to get my hands on one, and I'm sure it was in the video and I just didn't hear it, but where can I get a k24a3 engine? I live in Michigan so not a lot of car enthusiast here so i cant just go into a shop and there it is.
I think the f series is right at home, I’d k swap an NA, NB Miata though!
Been trying to decide if I want a k24 NB or a k24 ft86
Same
@@anon136 I think you just need both. I'll borrow the one you're not driving. Lol.
This is why I’m here as I was going to ls1 swap my nb, but I think I’m sold on this
@@anon136 that I swapped 86 would be so fire and unique!
K20 might be a better engine and produce way more power with mods specially in a NA set up where the f20 is pretty much maxed out. But I still love the f20/f22 it has its own sound that I love, unless it blows maybe I’ll consider a k20/24.
I'm keeping my 9k rpm redline. I bought an S2K that had the engine pulled apart and out of the car, and I still paid to fix it and put it back in rather than k swap it.
Are the over fenders put on with double sided tape? Really interested in them
What engine mounts did u use? Looking to kswap it into a toyota celica
Hello, great video. I have a 2008 Honda Accord coupe 2.4l that I need to do a stock rebuild on. Can you please recommend a brand and/or parts store where I can buy high quality engines parts like pistons, rings and bearings.
This is so clean. MY04 is still mint but I'm terrified of boosting it.... but this is some cool shit.
This is just a nice and beautiful S2000…
Not here for the K swap, I am here to for the cosmetic goods on the S2k. Looks pretty clean and aggressive 😏
Hi Sir i do have an honda cu2 accord 2011 is it good to do stagge1?
Nah my homie had a spoon f22 all motor. Fastest car Ive ever been in. Sounded so good.
What body kit is that those front fenders seem wider
id say k swap if u plan on racing just cuz there cheaper but i made 600hp on my stock unopened f22 with just e85 an a 6262 precision turbo...it was insane an sounded like an f1 car
Nice, my next build but with a turbo!
This guy reviewed this car perfectly.
For a street car that you just cruise with keep the F series. For track use highly recommend going k series. Its alot cheaper to buy a $1000 long block than it is to chase down another F series for a reasonable price.
By far the cleanest S2000 I've ever seen.
Beautiful car
S2K pure sport car,the master piece。
those fender vents... what kind? where to get one?
I love tuning culture.
Miss my little s2k. 2001 brand new Grand Prix white.
Install looks super clean. Is all that aero on the front street legal?
looked so good
What product is the front & rear fender?
Front: J's Racing

Sir it’s half way over already lol
im good. ill keep my F20C :) best engine ever
what a car!
That S2k is literally perfect.
If only it had an f series in it☹️
@@bige7186 you are delusional
@@tomydespins2315 u sound like a K-fanboy
@@0mniVerse777 simply realistic if F series was that superior it is them you will in awd swap civic and in world time attack championship … wide power band it better than peak power
what type of fenders and front bumper does this thing have??
Good lord Im in love with the aesthetics of that car.
Car still runs ac is a major flex
The K series is the best mass produced 4 cylinder ever made.
Thank you for this video Clay!
Makes me want to trade my 07 STi for an S2 T.T
What side view mirrors are those?
I love German metal… but this is just 💥🔥
Ap2 here! Yellow rio
Look man... awesome. compliments to you and owner of the k2000. And effort into the k ENGINE... huge thumbs up to you guys !!! But. Just slap a turbo on your f engine. And there is your torque and kw, UP. K is cool... but no 4cyl touches the Legendary F20c. So uh... yeah, Lemme find an f20c and slap it into my '10 r171 slk. Search it in a few !! 😎
What are the legalities around running that Personal steering wheel?
Whats bodykit is that? Amazing...
Fucking Mint S2K.
I once heard the F20C is essentially a FWD motor that was made RWD using an adapter plate.
The more I see video's like this I sit back on the fence about selling my AP1.
Great video Clay!
BTW I've had my S2K since 2011 still has under 200K on the clock ;)
The F20C was a purpose built motor specifically for the S2000 and nothing else. It was always a rear wheel drive motor
