Civic Type R K20C1-swapped AE86: The JDM Fusion of Dai Yoshihara's Dreams
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
@DaiYoshihara has been in and around the tuning scene since the early 2000's and I've been fortunate enough to follow him along his journey, both on and off the track. His latest build with Eimer Engineering is this combination of two things we love: the Toyota AE86 and the Honda K20. This K20 isn't from your mom's Acura TL though. This is a K20C1 from the current generation Civic Type R. Honda sells these as crate motors as well, making sacrilegious swaps like this even easier.

This video had me smiling from ear to ear. Larry driving on the track and Dai just having an awesome build. Love this kind of content!
That's badass. Dai is one of my hero's. The combo of the Honda/Toyota was put together like "No other!" Thank you Dai. Larry, you make me smile with anticipation. Thank you.
LOVE these Corolla chassis 👌🏾 There’s one of these overseas in Japan with a Yaris GR engine swap
I had an ae86 as my first car I bought when I was 15 always has a place in my heart 🥺
You're a legend Larry ! Keep it up
Love that car... and the wheels... bro the wheels are silly cool. Looking at Dai next to this car, like looking at a Samurai and his steed.

Exactly!!
Two similar passionate enthusiasts holding it down. Much respect Larry
My two favorite cars fusion into one what a great day awesome
Cool car, cool swap. Refreshing to see something not a twin turbo LS...
What an awesome treat! Dai is the man, I can tell he’s such a good guy just through these shorter vids! Awesome video as always Larry!
I love when I get your new video notification man. I don't always get to sit down and watch it right away because of work, running my own tree service company, and well, life I guess. But I always look forward to seeing what crazy car(s) you get into, the awesome details of the cars, the stories from the owners.. all the cool people places cars etc you document for us to see. It's appreciated more than you know. Keep doing what you do Larry. Thanks
Amazing ride Dai Yoshihara - I love how clean everything comes together. My kind of build
I love the Hachi! What a cool build! Dai is awesome for letting you drive too!! What a friend 🍻 and returning the favor by just having fun and not dropping the 🔨 100% My first time in a Hachi was unforgettable. We we're drifting some back roads behind businesses off Jurupa Rd in Riverside and the way it was able to whip back and fourth so easily was just amazing. These cars will always be legends in my mind. Thanks for the ride along guys!
Dai is Awsome, so humble TY Larry
Always a pleasure to see Dai in videos thanks Larry
Best engine w best chassis
Two of my favorite cars put to one
Really creative build well thought out! An aspiring example to us in the car culture! Thank you for hard work mate building that really is something else keep it going!
Those BBS rims are beautiful.
I wanna see Keiichi Tsuchiya and Max Orido do one of those touge test drives with this car
Hyped for Jimmy Oakes version of this.
I know this is a “late” comment considering KZread/internet standards a day later doesn’t matter but I really hope you see this(Larry)!! I love your content, especially the still photos you’re able to capture. But I can’t help how happy you look driving this beast. I truly wish/dream I was able to be driving something like this!!
What a beautiful car. Thanks as always Larry
Fricking awesome Larry, good stuff!
Never considered one of these cars but I love this one. Beautiful car.
Yep a real enthusiast to enthusiast respect. Larry is right, you hate as a builder to see some one drive your car, and beat on it in a way the builder, would never do Now I believe a car built by a builder has a soul. And the car is just as connected with the builder, driver. And wears it self into the patterns the builder has used it in Then you let some body drive it that is just horrible with the car. It is painful for the owner and the car. Larry, knows all this too well So respect, to Larry, that respects a builders WORK! Great vid, great content, Larry finds the most REAL enthusiasts on streets and tracks and garages ,EVERY WHERE ! Thank you Larry !
I think this example are 1 of the beautiful Pandem AE86 i've ever seen!🔥❤️ Also diggin the K20C swap, I'm kinda bored with the same old same old 4AGE 16/20 Valve(not that i hate it but it's getting repetitive IMHO 🙏🏼)
This is basically what a 3rd gen Honda Accord hatchback wishes it could have been
Looks like the car came out last year, he def hit the mark with a modern look. Dai has the best taste
I love these Larry, more please!
I saw cool car… tapped on video… not even seeing who made the content… Music on, clean car rollin, cleaner shots to capture… “This feels like a Larry Chen video” Awesome as usual dude! Thanks again 🤙🏾
Two of my favorite Car Guys in one car!! : )
A piece of art ❤️🔥
Amazing work bro
amazing!! incredible build
Damn what a cool swap
What a gorgeous machine 😍
this car deserves an anime unto itself. nice car!
Awesome video
beautiful car. that motor looks so at home in that bay.
What an awesome car, love it! I don't think you could fault the engine choice. Comparing favorite AE86 builds, I would have to say the only thing I like better would be the G16E-GTS in the Daddy Motor Works GR Yaris Swapped AE86, just for a bit more purity of manufacturer.
This makes me reminded of a similar kind of build (AE86 with a Honda engine) on an old Best Motoring episode.
Champ holding up his hood the whole time! Haha
Looks and sounds really nice...
Those wheeels omg bbs hooked dai up with the goodies
love this bild
so fire 🔥 🔥
Dai is such a cool guy!
Boy u are better than the BEST car show
Awesome car!
Dai is a very cool guy… hope to meet him one day
Match made in heaven
You know what they say, K is King. Honda K engines are the best hands down.
Is there honestly anyone cooler than Dai?
I have a Honda too and I want to upgrade like this!
Ready to deliver Tofu?! Lmfao LOVE IT!!! Takumi approved!!!
Nice swap and work, motors sound doesn’t stir the soul like b,k,H series
nice wheel
What a car... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Those Honda Accord touring retrofits really modernize it like Larry said
Oh man.. awesome! What is the outro music on your videos???
Brega todos los carros que tiene 😎💯Un video
I want a Hachi so bad. Dai's is almost perfect with style and fitment.
Would be _awesome_ to see headlights similar to these in H6054 or H5054 form! I've been looking for something that looks more modern, but doesn't look tacky and gross lol
First if all Dai is too cool👍
i like this car verry nice =)
Killer build !! Anyone know what mirrors those are ?!
that R Levin has so much se sense
Hey Larry! Car photo enthusiast here. Would you mind sharing your camera setup (Body, lenses, etc)?
Sick car, that oil pan looks so low!
Does anyone know of gridlife will post photos from this event? Been patiently waiting…
That’s the longest I’ve seen a ae86 run lol 😝

Are they known for being sketchy because of their swaps? I never heard that about them.
Daijirou!
👍
What tha Fuca is , aahhhh, thats a nice 1, ggz
To have Dai set you in the car, check the neutral position, fans, fuel, start-up, and instruct you. Doing all that is the grown-up equivalent of being tucked into bed and told a bedtime story. I'm kind of jealous!
00:45 im not sure if im looking 2 dais or two larrys hahaha Dai chen or Larry Yoshihara?
Wish it sounded good ugghhh. Needs some Skunk2 maybe hehe
Is that the gran turismo track with the balloons
did the engine bay had to modified or cut to fit the engine?
👍🏿
All those shots for some reason remind me of RC cars.
Now he can do the GR Corolla engine swap
Honda needs a straight 6 even if it’s just a crate motor if they don’t have one ??
Kinda looks like the VW Corrado 👍🏾
Do you know what helmet dai is wearing?
can we have the opening image pretty please?
Sounds like a turbo rotary
Now is a "Civicroku"
10:35 uh hello, Because Racecar...
Thanks Larry Chin for all your dope content 👌....this is that REAL GRAN TURISMO stuff we all love
Ok Honda. Now build a new-gen S2000 with the Type R motor and rev's a little higher.
If it has a K series engine then it's not an AE86. Since the engine code is K not A it would then be a KE86, right?

Frankenstein ae86 lol
Okay cool...but can it deliver tofu?
But does it Drift?
Sick af. I quit man.
Hilarious to see Dai try to get you to drive faster.
You realize how much car tuning has changed when people are making excuses NOT to boost their original motor, Lol.
