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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.
