HOW MUCH DOEST IT COST TO GO K

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

One of the MOST frequently asked questions that I'm asked is how much it costs to do a K swap. I go over a few random details that make this an extremely hard question to give generic responses to.
Be sure to let me know any other questions or topics you'd like me to go over for you and I'll try to bring you a video on that subject. Be sure to subscribe for more!

    Lol preach!! You been at this one car for a while and the history says it all man. The real question those cats are asking is "how do I get what you have without spending what you did or working as long/hard as you worked?" The answer: fast, cheap, reliable - you can only have 2 lol.

    Well I make about 80k a year... I’m looking for a civic now for around 609 to 1k. I’d love to get a K series reliable and within my budget. Kinda starting over in life so I don’t have a ton saved.

    A K itself is already reliable. Reliability outside of that comes with the quality of the build and and the parts chosen. Simple maintenance should be enough

    @@ksisjdm great build, very clean and one of a kind. I went the same way with my Integra, but only b-series. I invested about $15k over 3 years, and it was well spent cash. I wanted to see just how much hp a b18b could make reliably. It's just as you said some of my parts are inexpensive ($150-$350) and some are very expensive ($900-$1300).when building a car it's like you said, take your time, don't rush it, and don't go super cheap because it won't be reliable. My b18b makes 468hp on E85 and I haven't had any problems with it for 2 years. Alot of the guys out there have to realise if your going to build a high hp and reliable car, you MUST! take your time, do extensive research on your build, and do general maintenance consistently. As far as racing is concerned, might run my Integra once a month, my favorite is taking freeway on ramps at 3rd gear at 9200rpm🤗😎😏. So to reinforce what you were saying in the video, take your time, save your money, do some research, and build your car right the first time, and you won't have a blown engine, and you will be able to enjoy your build for years.🤔🤔😁🤗

    Why didnt u just buy a acura rsx type s or acura tsx. They are both better looking cars and if the car and swap costs 3000-4000 you can just buy the rsx type s or tsx and get a k20 with the rsx type s or k24 with tsx. I dont understand when people swap civics when you can just buy these better cars with k engines already in them and not have to do all the labor just for a k engine.

    Lol because the car wouldnt perform anywhere how the civic performs. I guess you have no understanding of the difference the chassis makes. There's a reason you dont see a rsx or tsx setting records like you see a civic doing. I didnt buy one because I prefer the civic chassis with the powerplant from a bigger chassis.

    Great video! You really took the time to explained it well. Like you said, you really don't need to do everything you have planned for your project at once. I had that mentality with my first Honda (ep3) and I ended up owning it for 2 years and not doing anything with it. Buying your bolt ons, harness, ecu, ems, cables, shifter box, etc used can definitely help cut costs. I was one of the lucky ones and bought my k swap unfinished in a rusty gutted hatch shell. Now it's in a coupe. Anyone can do it. Most of you fellers from the states have a great used market for Honda parts. Take advantage of it!!(If you want to do it on a budget) Btw I see you got that ram header installed! Looks badass!!

    I agree about the quiet exhaust part. I know my motor is down peak HP compared to other comparable B series builds due to me keeping the cat, ac, and power steering and using a smaller ITR catback. But the performance is good enough for me and its nice to have it quiet unless Im revving to 8k on the street. On the K swap part, every time I look into it, I won't be happy with a budget build and would end up doing something similar, but not that crazy, my costs would probably be on trying to make it look like it came from the factory with AC PS, etc still on it. I kinda did fall down that path on my b18b1 to b18c1 swap, and even then Im still not happy with things that I keep changing around.

If it's not then those ppl should take Heed and just buy a built one already and spend 7-10K. If they are able to find one done already and they are willing to part ways with the Honda .

    Yup, some of us like to go overboard with it and rack up a bill like this. Notice how almost nobody approaches a K swap like the old school B swap. B series people will use all OEM used junkyard pieces, rig up things to work, massacre OEM wiring and so on. Most K swaps are done with much more attention to detail which is costly. It would be expensive to do a B swap with all the details attended to. But most dont do that because then they would be dumping K series amounts of money and ending up with much less power

    Tbh I like to build my RSX type S how I like it, i race friends here and there but I like to make it my engine bay look nice for my pleasure lol if there something I want I’ll save for it but if it works then I’m ok with it until I find a better way to do it. Buuuut if I were to lose my rsx it’ll be time to swap it in into an older car 😎 But your car is such a huge inspiration to me, it’s not as nice but I like to see how and what I could do in my own way 👍

    I went with a b18c type R swap in the CRX just for simplicity reasons. K is definitely better in pretty much every way compared to a B, but EF style chassis is just too much work. I’m lazy, so I went with the next best thing 😂 awesome setup in your car!

Heck, there's a running 03 type s with cosmetic issues right now in my area for $1500. Deals are ALL over if you're willing to put in the time and effort.

    Holy shit dude, that engine bay is gorgeous. I have a 2005 Civic EX and a 2003 Honda CR-V (K24 engine) sitting in my driveway, and I want to swap them, drive train, knuckles, all that. Rebuild the engine, probably with some forged components, h-beam rods, crank, etc. and get the head from a TSX, ported and polished. I'd like to stay N/A, as much as I love to have a turbo, I just don't care to deal with it. The little Civic would be more than fast enough with just a built engine in it. I want it to be bulletproof. But for now, I'm mostly focusing on tightening up the suspension in it with bracing throughout, adjustable camber, aftermarket control arms, and polyurethane/delrin bushings throughout, and like you, keep the outside of the car looking completely stock other than it being lowered a bit and some aftermarket wheels.

    keeping it real,love it nice video man.yeah swaps are expesive .got a s3 engine swap in my 2005 audi a3 200hp quattro.its got i.e. forged connection rods and upgraded bearings,stage 1 loba(germany) head with supertech valvetrain,FMIC,full 3" exhaust,ic piping,hybrid tte420 turbo,hpa intake mani,ttrs low pressure fuel pump,upgraded loba high pressure fuel pump,loba flywheel and clutch kit,okada coils,upgraded spark plugs,Bov,recaro pole position seats with removed backseat and airbag delete.better engine and gearbox mounts,short shifter and probably some other stuff i'm forgetting but it makes 414ps(420hp) and 545 nm(401 ftlb)of torque,it's like you say it's how far do you want to go with a engine swap,i have put roughly about 25k in the swap could be more but definatly 25k and now i'm broke lol.thats the reality of things,decent swaps take years to build up it has taken me about 6 years of saving every penny i earned to get to this point with my car,but i could have done it the cheaper way just put in the stock s3 engine,hybrid turbo,ic,bov,hpfp,exhaust and make 380-400hp with only 10k of an investment,the difference in hp is small but if i upgrade my current turbo(with the reinforced engine)just need to turn in my tte420 and put down about 1k on top of that to get a tte480 turbo,tune it,maybe some injectors(rs4 or ttrs) i can get 450-465hp(realisticly speaking).it's just what you want and how good(strong) the engine is that you are swapping and what hp and torque goals you set for yourself.i wanted 400+hp without bending my stock rods and needed the torque because my car is 4wd so i saved up and first searched for a decent almost new engine and started from there.my advice don't get carried away if don't want to invest alot of money.or just buy a project car from somebody else which has all the work allready done,like said in the video,just try to get a list of all the moddifications done to it.again nice video man i just subed,if you want to check out my car theres a dyno video with the results on my profile page along with a friend of mine's ex mk6 gti(got himself an rs3 now don't know the current specs of that one but was planning turbo upgrade so i guess if he did by now it will be making around 500hp;-))

    Hey thanks for making this video man. I have always wanted to work on a Honda tuner but was caught up with muscle. This video was perfect for what I'm trying to figure out right now except one thing. I want to know if I can build a fresh k series motor from scratch in my spare time before buying the car itself as I do not have the space for it yet other than possibly building the motor. I am going to get a 6th gen Honda civic coupe regardless of model and basically clean it up, have it painted, and drop a engine I build or rebuild in it. Thing is I'm a body work guy mostly and the extent of my engine experience is pulling a 68 mustang 302 by myself, tearing it down, and then selling the car and pieces when I moved. Then I did a clutch switch on a 2002 mustang GT, but other than rebuilding a carb and painting and restoring some engine parts I'm still learning. But I have to plan the vision out so its realistic as a spare time hobby for me. I am already planning to take apart and rebuild smaller engines before tackling this one and studying more but do you know a k series that fits all those models or one that fits most so I can at least widen the spread a bit and build an engine in the meantime once I learn more? Or another engine that's fairly universal and similar? Any guidance and sources are much appreciated.

    Yes you can definitely build an engine on the side and then use it to put in a chassis you eventually get. I basically pieced my engine together like that when I first started. I would recommend doing it that way so you can take your time and build it to your specs!

This was the only video I could find that gave me a really good insight on what i should do. And of course im not going for engine looks, just fast and reliable. Also im not sure what a good motor is to start out with on a budget. I was think J series or D series but im unsure what will give me the most power on a budget. I’ll take any help just so i can understand it all lol.

    You mention budget and then mention 2 engine series that are VASTLY different. There's nothing cheap about building a civic with a J series V6....and a D series isnt fast and reliable without putting a lot of money into it. First off, figure out what your actual "budget" is, then you can make a list of optional routes to take. Always keep this statement in mind: You can only choose 2 of these three options... fast...reliable...cheap. Which ever 2 you choose, the 3rd option doesnt exist. So you want a fast and reliable car, it's not going to be cheap, period. So establishing a budget is critical for you before moving forward.
