Cheapest K Swap Civic to K23 Turbo Power: MEGA EPISODE
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
This is the Budget EG movie. Everything we have done with the budget K24 Civic hatchback in one place. We're so close to getting our K23/K20 OEM turbo hybrid engine started, but first take a look at the journey that led us here from the past few years in our very first mega episode.

Hi guys, I would to do a k swap for my Integra dc2. I want to do budget build. Hopefully i can purchase the engine, transmission and other stuff. Lovely videos
Needs a bigger header an exhaust an you'll benefit from those mods imo bringing more air in an not getting it out any quicker is most likely why you didn't gain anything from those mods. It's just an air pump, bad ass ride though appreciate the build an all the hard work guys

In your fit test drive video I think you mentioned something about only being able to get a few pulls in due to heat soaking. In this video I notice you using the stock radiator, wouldn't that radiator be undersized for the larger engine? Or are Honda radiators interchangeable? Or maybe because this is intended for street use it's no big deal. I'm looking to learn more from professionals like you guys! I love your videos, I've picked up so much already!!!
Yall want me to bring my EF out there? Would love to get it swapped by the people who know it best, But I probably am one of many in line... Either way, love the content been watching since I got my first Fit!

Love the video but K24a2 for $400?.....where? What track was that?
Where in the world did he get these numbers from? k24a4 for $400, the cheapest Ive seen online is $899, transmissions damn near the same price, and a stock accord ecu around $200-$250. This has got to be a reupload of a video from like 10 years ago when the price of Honda parts was cheap and affordable.

We bought it from Pull-n-Save in Phoenix AZ. That’s normal pricing and is still the same here. On a 50% off day I purchased 2009 TSX engine and 6-speed manual transmission for $300. The TSX head I used in the video cost me $60 if I recall.

We have a video on that.
VSS will never work because your using a 05-06 PND ECU with a transmission that is not 05-06 but rather 02-04. Its a 5 spd base ecu and should use the trans that have speed sensor in the front of transmission rather than by the differential. Trans with VSS in front of casing those would be considered countershaft driven (2005-06). Not sure in KTUNER. Also, the 05-06 ECUS hardware are different, that's why people use 02-04 then send ecu to hondata to modify to work with 05-06 trans and speed sensor. So basically if you were to get a 05-06 5 spd then you would be in business, but you would still probably need VSS converter for your older cluster.

The KTuner has functions that allow it to work with the CSS. It also outputs a correct signal for the cluster.

It's not good to cut corners. Put the motor together with new parts not used. Your reusing fly wheel bolts which isn't a good idea. This could've been avoidable If your mechanics knew better...

This build is all about cutting corners. Doing it as cheaply as possible. Using parts gathered from cars and engines in the salvage yard. We reused the head bolts the cam chain, the chain guides etc. It is a budget build to the max.
