Whatsup Gerb! Just wanna thank you for helping me convincing myself owning a civic is alright. People often see a Honda and instantly brand it a ricer without even trying to look at the mods we've done to them. I honestly right now would prefer to have a E46 M3 or a WRX STI but I can't afford that maintenance on a college student budget, which is where Hondas shine affordable maintenance and fun to drive! I'm a proud owner of a 06 Civic SI FG1 thanks to you and the civic community on youtube. Have a good one!
Swapped my motors out 2 weeks ago, best thing I've done to it since I first went bolt on, been watching your videos bro. Thanks for the specific details when you did yours, luckily all I did was disconnect hoses, and sensors, and steering and dropped the subframe slid Z3 out, slid 24A2 ride under haha same way from the front on the ground, no machine Lyft, just floor jacks and stands.
K20 makes all its power up top more for top end high rev k24 u get instant torque and mid range power but don’t get the excitement both still good can’t go wrong with either
As far as oil goes I just topped her off with a quart of Quaker state premo oil and he instantly came back to life and keeps on gunning, next oil change is gonna be QS oil no cap 💯🤟👌💞
I get the same "jerky" when in second or going down into second. I try to NOT do this a lot but I sometimes ride the clutch just a touch longer and that seems to help
Awesome build, thanks for sharing! I'm going to be K swapping my ES1 as soon as I save up enough money to buy the rest of the stuff I need. Just curious if there is anything you don't like about the K24 compared to the K20?
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. I have an es2 that i should swap a k into haha. The only two main things that I like k20>k24 for are the vtec sound of the k20 and the high revs.
@@TheGerbsteve Cool, thank you! Yeah the K20 does sound cool at 8K+ RPM lol, but I think the K24's extra torque would be more fun than the K20's higher redline for daily driving. Hopefully my 08 JDM K24A with the RBB2 head doesn't disappoint LOL
Hi bro, I am doing the same k24a swap on my fg2. Some friends said that I have to put 2002 crv distribution bracket because the k24 bracket does not fit on fg2. Cheers from Costa Rica
whats up! anyone with a 8th gen civic with k24a2 that passes smog in CA? i want to swap my fa5 but want to make sure it will pass smog. It will be all stock with 50degree vtc. what will need to be done to get it smog besides all the sensors. what about ecu does it need to be flashed? or can i run stock thanks.
Love the build bro. But the k20 is still just as powerful with the right tuner and parts. I have exhaust cat delete intake and mounts and a hella tune and it pulls on 4.6 stangs and beat an Acura TL 3.7 the other night.
You know what? For $650. It was well worth it for the swap, even if you paid someone extra for installation. I personally wouldn’t have fiddled with it and just paid the higher cost of the 2012-2015 civic Si which already comes with the K24.....
It was, but honestly, I do love the 9th gens. And yes, the 9th gen comes with the k24z7, but my k24a has the “true” I vtec head. Doesn’t really matter too much, but the top end is sweet and I can make about 240hp with full bolt ons, dyno tune. 9th gens only seem to make it to 220hp max. Just didn’t really want a car payment and restart on another si project right now.
@@TheGerbsteve I’m not sure if I saw it in your previous videos, but, how did you fix that electric power steering issue on your car? And how much money did you invest on that fix? My car has heavy steering turning right, but very light steering turning left.
I just got a8th gen si that has just had a k24a put in at 140k an cars at 149k now. It has a few lights on that I seen in the 1 video u had a solution for. If you see this an dont mind given a guy some helpful advice, hit me up man.
Hey Gerb if it burns oil you might want to temporarily go with 10w-40 to reduce the burn rate until you can find the cause of the oil consumption. If you want to keep Amsoil they have the XL and Premium Protection lines in that weight. If it is not burning oil too fast maybe don’t bother though.
Ay bro i have a question on the hasport motor mounts k20z3 for 8th gen civic si they do fit on k24a2 07 swapped with k24 cvr post mount bracket or k20z3 post mount bracket
@@TheGerbsteve It looks like I had carbon on the piston rings so it started consuming oil then I lost compression on cylinder 2 . I kept on driving it to work for 2weeks🤦🏿♂️. Yeah I’m keep it for now . Going with a sleeve build or oversized pistons . Gathering parts for a my turbo build
Is this the jdm engine that comes in the tsx also? K24a2 in the US I think it is. Gonna buy another engine for my fg2 soon looking into going with another stock k20 or a k24. Heard if you go k24 the tsx motor is the way to go.
@gerb I did my swap followed all the instructions however I feel like I’m not getting enough fuel through the car going at 5krpm and above , and can hear small popping or a vacuum sound
Is that reverse sound normal?, i been experiencing that similar skipping sound when reversing but i wasn’t sure if it was normal cause i just got the si.
@@TheGerbsteve thanks man, I got myself a fa5 that has relatively low km but I've seen some people with blown motors so I was just kinda scared of how these motors break especially with the r18 having a block crack recall
@@lollol-xp4mc I like how my k20z1 revs rn at 8100 but more power and torque from a k24a. I think 8000 on stock block with RSX-S parts is reliable but I would want to build it so I can see 8800-9000.
@@TheGerbsteve I've been running the k24/k20 setup for two years redline around 8300. Doesn't burn oil, no issues at all. I am running the k20 oil pump though. I rev my k24 same as my k20. Just no issues at all. Hope that helps. Good luck.
k20/k24 is going to make more power. Full k24 will keep same compression. It all really comes down to budget and preference. Frank build is probably the best route you can go in terms of n/a
Hey gerb my car has a start problem about once every 2 or 3 weeks, then when i tap the starter itl start and wont give me any problems for another few weeks . have you had any starter issues?
@@TheGerbsteve when mounting the trans to the engine did you use the bottom brace/fly wheel cover? From the k24 or did you use the thin stamped steel from k20 style?
Maybe because the rev hang is gone? If you’re used to the rev hang and you don’t shift fast enough on a solid tune it will jerk because the rpms dropped too low. That would be my guess

I love the k24 and k20 engines. I personally like the K24, but cant go wrong with either one. Great swap man keep up the good work. 🤙🏽

Tps problem?
@@adanmccloskey3149 car has 40k on it
That could be a possibility, especially with added vibration from stiff engine mounts..

Comes from the odyssey absolute & accord type s. K24a or k24a2 is the wayyy. Have great torque.
