Brooo, amazing! I'm building a D17Z3 with a R4449 turbo. Here in Brazil, this things like engine swap or even a little high Horse Power numbers, it still Hard to do because The price of car Parts... Can you mind spend around US$3.000 on a D17 to reach dyno numbers like 230hp with STOCK INTERNALS? Its ridiculous! When i see how cheap car Parts are in your country, i feel disgusted with mine. Keep up with the good content, i knew this channel today an im enjoying... Your "clean speach" helps strangers to understand easily The words. Congrats from Brazil, mate!

PND= Base rsx, PPA= CRV, and you could have programmed the immobilizer at the dealership. And the accord harness wont be compatible with the ecu your going to use

Was just considering this after learning I have a 02 Civic coming next week. Its D17 has a possible head gasket woe, and since a repair and restore is nearly what your discussing for the cost of a K24, I can't imagine not just going for the greater cubes. Thanks.

@@thetreblerebel Seems to me like you're just ignorant(no insult intended) to automotive engineering and the work behind engine swaps. The reason why automatic swaps aren't ever done is because of the legwork you add to the job to keep it auto. If you were doing a b series swap itd be easy, but swapping to an entirely different family of engine you would need to do so much more to get the auto to function. With a manual swap it's as easy as a harness, kpro, some pedals, a shifter and ur nearly good to go. To remain auto you're talking a full ecu swap, probably going to need to swap the cluster and a lot of wiring behind the dash. Might need to mess with the fuse box and the ignition, so, so, so much more to the point where it shouldn't even be a thought process. With the amount of time and money you'd spend you may as well go buy a brand new 2021 civic.
