The fact that nobody in this comment section has mentioned that you’re the OG owner! I’m 27 and ive owned my red FA5 for 3 years now and it breaks necks regularly whenever it’s not in storage. Keep up the good work brotha! Our cars are the last true k20’s🔥 💯 💔

ran r888’s on my turbo fg2, they hooked from 60 but anything under they needed to be warmed up beforehand in my experience

Yeah im thinking thats the next tire i go with, these federal 595 RsRR are okay but spin bad on a 60 roll warmed up in the middle of summer. Thanks for commenting! What are you driving now?

Lets see more pulls

Nice car! I use RE-71R for tires and they hook really good! Mine is supercharged tho so less power than you so i dont know how well your car would hook!

@@LouieLouGarage88 thanks man i appreciate it! Quick question if you have the time, i plan on turboing it in the next year or two, you clearly know more than i do, do you think i can just swap the supercharger with a turbo with all the mods i have, get a good tune and im good or i need supporting mods? Theres a video on my channel « supercharged k20 » where all my mods are listed! Maybe you can help me if you have the time! Thanks

Yes im always willing to lend a hand. Its a little more involved then just swapping them but assuming you have hondata, injectors, fuel pump and clutch your close. I will check out your video where you list what you have.I did look at a few quick videos and your car sounds awesome!@@SuperchargedFG2

Do you like the current si? I’m looking at a used 23 but it’s at a ford dealership and they overpriced it since I can buy a 24 with zero miles for less than they are asking.

@LouieLouGarage88

5 ай бұрын

The new Si looks to be a great car! For me personally I like the K series motors. The K series is very easy to work on and can hold a lot of power. I will say the new 11th gen civic looks really nice compared to the 10th gen.

Pulling the whole engine out is not faster than just dropping the subframe cradle! None the less, love my FA5 too.

@LouieLouGarage88

4 ай бұрын

Yeah FA5 are nice! I would like one in the future, easier with kids... When i blew 4th gear and knew i had to do a rebuild on the trans i decided to pull it with the engine knowing i wanted to do a few things with it all out. Your rite just the trans is prolly quicker on its own out the bottom. Thanks for commenting. Nice CRX!!

Hey man nice vid, Im going to need to rebuild my tranny soon on my fg2 i was wondering if it’s challenging at all rebuilding or is it straight forward

@LouieLouGarage88

Thanks man! Appreciate that! It depends on how mechanically inclined you are. I did buy a shop press to help me because some of the gears need to be pressed on and off. You can get away without using a press but its sketchy. I would say its more on the challenging side cause of everything involved and the amount of steps but not crazy difficult.

Depends on what your replacing. if your replacing the mainshaft you should measure your thrust clearance with the new main shaft. You would need a Dial indicator and a mainshaft thrust block tool in order to do that. @@fg2lou278
