JDM Mini Truck K24 Swap in Honda Acty - Rare Kei Truck Engine Mod Adventure
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Ever seen a Honda Acty Kei truck with a 200 horsepower motor swap? We are removing the 3 cylinder motor from a 1995 Honda Acty and swapping it with a Honda K24. Over several episodes, we are documenting the process so that you can see what it takes to make it happen. This has been attempted by few and there are not many details out there to help the DIY kei truck k swap enthusiasts. We hope to shed light on the challenges and solutions of this process so that anyone with the desire to take this on has a fighting chance with minimal struggle.
We are also participating in a friendly competition with Josh "The Tuning Wizard" with Driver Motorsports. Be sure to follow their page to see these builds in each perspective. kzread.infofeatured
Join our community and ask questions. We are an open book and want to help get more of these motor swapped Kei trucks on the road!

Im starting to think there is an underground community of Acty owners in NC. Most of the videos I see are from NC. Can’t wait to get one myself!

Just stumbled upon your channel, as I'm a fan of kei trucks. I was just checking out what others have done, and see you're working on a K-swapped Kei 😎😁 Big ups for being a local. I'm near Shelby, NC. Best of luck as this project continues

You see Lots of Hayabusa swaps on KZread but not one in the style of Tractor Pull builds imagine 4 or 5 Suzuki Hayabusa engines on One Kei Truck i am not certain but i think they use V-Drives to achieve multi engine power there is a lotta details i don't understand on how they get power to the drive axles with 4 to 5 or even 6 to 8 engines even

Was there any consideration for a smaller swap before just jumping to k24? The E07zt for example.
@insaneimports_official
Жыл бұрын
Nope! When the stock motor blew a head gasket it was either fix that or do the swap. I always wanted to do the k swap in the Acty and it seemed like a good opportunity to go for it.
One of the biggest things I hate about 1990's cars is the plastic dashes. Not so much the style but the poor quality of plastic. During that era they are hard to find in good shape and need special attention to keep them in good shape. If you are lucky enough to have a good one try to maintain it because some brands you cant buy anymore like the Subaru BRAT I used to have. The engine had a whopping 60 hp and 2000lb and I thought that was low hp. I think the Kei trucks are around 1600 to 1800 lbs and my old VW beetle was 1800 40 hp some are 2000lbs I put a 160 hp engine in the beetle and 300 hp 2.0 turbo engine and full drive train. in the Subaru. Both cars were absolutely amazing sleeper cars that car take out most any car stop light to stop light. My next project is the same as yours. I will keep in touch looking at V-TEC engines and transmission set ups.

The strange muffler system looks like heater ducts that dont communicate with the exhaust. It's a separate chamber. You will have to get heat to keep you warm from another source off the new engine once you trash those. Hold on to them and try to sell them 1st.

Why did you not start by removing the bed? it seems to me, that would be the first thing to do, then you could measure things up, and figure how to fit the larger engine.
