Budget Turbo K Swap Civic EG Goes to the Drag Strip
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
We've come a long way with Budget EG. What started as a $3,000 K24 swap has evolved into a OEM turbo K series road race car. BUT we want to know what that means in terms of performance. Typically we do a short 1/8th mile run near the shop. These runs aren't meant to show absolute speed, but to show improvement in performance. In this video we don't get a re-tune or up the boost, but we do go faster.

I love the fact that someone with so much experience made a mistake and admitted to us of the situation. I respect that kind of honesty. 🤝
POWER TO WEIGHT. A former classmates favorite thing to say when it comes to cars getting faster
THANK YOU! This is gunna be awesome!
Love that you guys took the road race car for a trip to the strip. I do FIRMLY believe youll be in the 12s without any shift issues. Hope to catch this thing out on track one day. 🤙
9.51 in the 1/8th is scary fast 😂 I run that in the 1/4 😂
The track will humble the most experienced of builders. That looked like a lot of fun. Hopefully you can get that sorted out. Maybe a better shifter box would be in order too for crisper shifts. Car looks mean with those big tires
Was fun hanging out with y'all!
Great video!
Our shop makes top hats for eibach and bielstein. I can tell you we make quality parts!
Awesome been waiting to see this thing on the track. I’d bet the 1/8th mile time will drop quite a bit on prepped surface on slicks
Good stuff man
Appreciate the videos. What fenders are those?
That green eg in the back looks clean
I am building a Coupe similar to this using the k24z engine that will be all motor at first but if that's not fast enough i plan on adding a small turbo to it at a later date. Congratulations on your build and progress so far.

I just did this exact thing. The turbo is worth it. It turns it into a completely different monster.

@@grant6985what turbo kit did you go with? Looking for a budget friendly turbo kit for a fun street car. Not looking to win any trophies, haha
great job guys, it looks like youre at the happy limit of a stock k series trans, the 6spd do not hold hold up well to power above 350whp and no amount of driving is getting around that. 5spd is generally swapped in when its more drag focused as its stronger with less separation between the shafts under load, even then youd most likely need to do a full rebuild on it. Think of the k 5spd like a subrau 5spd in terms of strength, its a glass transmission, and the k 5spd is more of a beefed up subaru 5spd but not quite as strong as the subaru 6spd transmission. Good luck out there guys!
Extended wheel studs!!!
Get some slicks on that thang mane!
New camera??? Looks so much better!!!
Cool video! If it was easy everyone would be doing it ! Shake off some of the rust and you’ll get it back !
I SEE THE K23 THIS TIME!
Hey boss, I love your videos and I have a 94 Honda civic eg coupe I was hoping you can make a list of exactly what I will need to do a K swap k24a2 motor manual please 🙏🏾
Sois unos máquinas Saludos desde spain 👍
That is a fast ass "K23" turbo, I need to find a k23 motor now...
taking my crx b20v to the track tonight. hoping to beat my 14.4 pb...
Honda accord factory studs are longer... Fit perfectly
I seen that car in Glendale like a few weeks ago
Just gonna say about the nankangs: I ran nankang ns-20’s on my daily and after 4 years they developed a bunch of small bubbles on the tread surface. I thought my wheel weights had fallen off, it felt unbalanced. If you have them, keep an eye on them if you’re going on road trips, but personally I’ve gone back to hankooks
Is the merch site down? The link isn't working.
Should grab a nice shifter kit for the eg there's several really good set ups out there these days at reasonable prices ktuned just came out with there new version I recently grabbed one myself and it's nice no complaints here million times better then the ol stock setup
What tires are on the white crv in the background?
It’s ok brian just knock the rust off🤙🏽
Check the transmission fluid before you do anything else to transmission, then the clutch & fly wheel.
Not smarting off here, but wouldn't doing it right for clearance be getting wheels with slightly different offset?
14.3? My b16 ran 14.4s stock in an eg
You were dumping the clutch on the track and spinning tires and you were not doing that on the street. That’s the difference I saw. Besides missing some gears lol
I have trouble understanding those 1/8 mile drag times. Those numbers should be better comparing them to some of my own.

His trap speed was a lot higher.
Kind of looked like the same issue the 8th gen civic has with 2nd gear.
My Allmotor car goes 7s in the 1/8th lol
The bad shifts are costing you 4 seconds plus. Also,If the budget allows, sequential is the usual route in the Civic to maximise shifts.
Dude needs a driver mod bad... lol
Go back to the track with a slick tire and should do alot better my prediction maybe 8.8 1/8th
That stock shifter box is not good.
I love Hondas but I hate honda transmissions if it’s stock 300hp will destroy it lol

We haven’t had much trouble with the J manual trans at that power.
Can i have that honda😢
Get a real shift box 😂
She needs some paintless dent removal :)
Unfortunately you need a dog box for the tom foolery. Might need to bleed your clutch too.

@@sskkkkiiiiHave to love the people in these comments that come in here to brag about their 9 second drag civics to compare to a stock BUDGET k swap. They're the new mustang owners of the racing world. "Why don't you have an S1 built awd setup with a sequential dog box and a 90mm turbo going to individual throttle bodies with methanol?" Straight clowns in the comment section. 🤡
Its the clutch you got to bleed it also the factory cables n gear shifter are trash jack spania racing can help you with that. And you have more load on the track also you didnt rev it as high on the street.
My b20v crx runs 9.5 in the 1/8 mile all day .lol and your running a 2.4 liter with a turbo. Man that's a real shitty time. You should be in the high 8s.lmfao .smfh

It's their first time at the track with this setup and engine. You're not going to immediately do low numbers without finding out what is wrong and correcting it

Congrats on spending money to go slower.
Whatever you do , do not curse God ! There are eternal consequences . Please repent.
a 10k swap is not a budget swap! thumbs down
You may have to bleed the clutch slave cylinder. Maybe get a lsd?
