That’s because they’re not just doing the “trendy” or cool thing to do atm. They genuinely love cars and it shows and it draws us who have the same genuine love for cars and actually working on our cars . So naturally it brings us car guys who like to get our hands dirty together.
When I watch a RUclips video I find myself double tapping to skip 10 seconds alot... The pace of your videos is perfect, never feel like I'm bored unbelievable work, keep it up!
There's literally not another channel that I watch every single video from, and I've been on RUclips for over a decade. Great work guys, never disappointed.
I'm always impressed how much N/A power these K series motors can make with simple bolt ons and a good tuner on the keyboard. 250whp all motor with stock internals is impressive as hell to me.
Ben's cars every year or two: "Aw shit, here we go again." Amazing content my dude. It's hard to believe videos of this quality are available for free. You could easily be on Netflix.
Duct the intake down to the front bumper for a ram air. Faster you go the more effective and you're definitely going fast enough to see the benefits. The 5.0 f150s age gaining several mph and a couple tenths in the 1/4 doing just that
Yo I have the same exact set up 05 k24a2 im looking to make 265hp i have a little more raceing parts tho bigger fuel system got the stock injectors stroked out but I'm excited to get it to the dyno
cool to see! This is almost exactly what i'm looking for when I k-swap my 94 eg si. Going to go all-motor stock k24a2 looking to reliably put down about 230 whp. Im gonna put an AWD trans on though because eventually I want to make it AWD.
I know you said u can’t swapped the cams but I’m pretty sure u can swap with oem cams if you get 06 to 08 tsx cams you’ll get another 10hp I made 245whp on my stock in my rsx with a 07 k24a2 with no upgrades and with a/c and power steering no ported manifold with your setup just by changing your cams to 06 to 08 tsx it’s 10whp for sure
Your build is by far my favorite on youtube. In fact your guys channel is becoming my favorite as I continue to be hooked on HPDE and one day maybe some TA events :)
Every video y’all take my breath away with the absolute best enthusiast car content on any platform. I love your channel so much, plz never stop making content. You guys are one of my main inspirations that got me into cars. I hope y’all break all the records and get all the podiums at GridLife!
For future reference for people doing K24 swaps and and going with a K20A”x” variant oil pump, you don’t have actually have to notch it like this if you get a JDM Civic K20A FD2 oil pump rather than this and it is botched perfectly from factory.
from watching GnG i've learned that good things must come to an end :( . 18 minutes felt like nothing when you're watching quality content. Good Job team!!!
nice gains on the 'stock' engine over the modded one, haha ...make up a thermal barrier to shroud the Intake Air from the Radiator heat soak, and find away to duct outside air into the Air FIlter location. If you had shut the hood and done a few pulls, you would quickly see the heat soak factor. But all looking great so far Ben & gang! Love these videos BTW!
So can you tell me exactly which websides did you use? I have a K24A3 but can't find any clear instructions on how to make most hp with what bolt ons exactly. And where to buy the parts
I do an engine course as part of my engineering degree and I think the reason you gained power with bellmouth end intake pipe is because of wave dynamics. So when the intake valve opens it produces an expansion wave which gets reflected as a compression wave which acts to supercharge the air going into the engine. More air means more fuel which equals more power! You might also get more or less power depending on the length of that pipe because you can time the wave to arrive at exactly the right point in the cycle. My lecturer talked to us about this, he tuned motorbike engines for our university in Belfast Northern Ireland and we were able to beat industry manufacturers at races
The reflection at the bellmouth end produces the opposite wave which is why you get the compression wave and more power. The no intake you ran has a plain end which produces an reflected expansion wave which reduces the density of the air going into the engine which is why you made less power with it
Love the video. I was at NCM for the season opener of grid life in bowling Green, Kentucky. It was so cool to meet Andy and see tall Ben's evo run. Keep up the great work.
Idk how time attack class regulations work so work with me here I’m genuinely curious. How would they know if you had a ported head without tearing down the engine? Obviously there are power thresholds that can only be achieved after porting and other head upgrades but is that the only way to tell?
For the most part they just have to trust that people are following the regulations, however if they notice that one car is easily beating all the others they can investigate by asking to see the engine without the intake manifold to prove it's not ported for example or even without the valve cover to see if the valvetrain has been modified. At least that's how I understand it, I don't have personal experience with this stuff
What all did u have to get usdm for the engine I recently purchase a k24a rbb2 from a importer and I'm getting ready to start on it what all would I need to change I have a rbc manifold so far to change
PSA - when filling gas cans, place them on the ground and ensure the metal fuel nozzle is always in contact with the container to ensure a proper (closed) electrical ground to equalize electrical charges. Go the extra step and make sure you're also in contact with any metal on the handle or metal hose connections with bare skin. The flowing fuel alone generates static, and if those charges need to arch to balance out you're gonna have a bad day m'kay?
You should always use the “SAE corrected” Hp figure (SAE J1349). This way, you eliminate the “well, it was this hot in the dyno room...blah, blah, blah”
Exactly why random chassis dyno numbers just only be used to compare before and after tunes/mods on the same car and day. Or between two cars on the same day.
@@mattdwyer1761 always use the same dyno for baseline and post mods runs. Mustang, DynoJet, etc synod all have their own characteristics, that can result in variations in output readings if you jump between them.
Why tune to hit peak at 6800 and have the power fall off for 1500 rpm afterward? Im running stock k24 I make peak torque at 4500rpm and Mine while im make 228 at 6800, im still rising in HP to 8000rpm at 238whp. Is that due to the 50 degree vtc? Im running a custom 40 degree VTC from Drag Cartel. My Redline is also only 8100. The Torque also seems to really fall off as well whereas mine seems to stay pretty consistent until redline only slightly falling off by redline by 10wtq. You seem to be making under 150wtq at 7800 rpm.
The aero for some reasons r good stuff..downforce etc..some times not. In this case u guys did an upgrade to the engine..buuuuttt..typeR's came with k20 engines...not k24, one of the best motors(k20) honda built. About the mods, no internal mods..thats fine, vtc actuator on the intake cam..fine too. But its a k24, those engines weren't made to be Oem(regulations, i know)..as the k20. Btw..that k24 engine came from wich car? European ou usdm? Following from the beginning
Idk if the class allows for it, but why not just put a lancer or ecoboost engine inside, from factory they are boosted and will make more power than what you're allowed to do with a k24.
“You just gotta do the driving part now” 😎 -Andy
the ending 100% gangsta
It's the most important part!
Andy should change his last name to Savage lmao
Especially because ben talked shit on the car multiple times in a youtube videos that over 100k people have seen, even though it was Ben's fault
What is the song?

That'd be dope as hell I'd love to see them around town
Driver to driver with Ben???
This would be a colab I’d watch
Make it happen STAT. Featuring on Hoonigan's autofocus and now on FI?!
yes.
You guys are going places! I feel like I’m watching a short film every week! Keep up the great work! 🔥
That's exactly how I feel the quality is top notch.

You’re so right man I feel like it
“You just gotta do the driving part now” Savage
I sat on my back laughing after that one. Awesome footage as always
You could tell that Ben got nervous when Andy said "Why isn't it starting" LMAO
i am speed
Anybody else completely in love with both builds and all the track stuff they do? Honestly not just any other YT build/channel
Justa6 is all talking not enough driving
This is a very unique channel and it’s rare to come by.
A polished, track focused mighty car mods lol 😁 both channels are top notch imo.

The road trip videos are what got my attention. Good work guys. Wish you the best and great success.
The background music / song at the beginning is BRASKO - Yo Quiero Sol. Would love to see you guys mentioned the music details.
"you gotta do the driving part now." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’ve not seen a beatdown like that since Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of Hell in a Cell in 1998
Andy is a genius and I’m amazed by his work and knowledge.
Oh god! Send me your last engine 😱 It was such a nice build!
Had to see when the caption said K-swapping your civic again lol. Enjoy all the content
Fancy running into you here
Meep
The production and edit is amazing

Technically, turbos are “bolt-ons”.
lol i guess but it’ll run like ass with no tune so not really a bolt on
Hope you get some frequent flier cheese, being in Wisconsin so often.

How does gridlife inspect cars to determine if they are class legal? Especially when part of the class rules are about the internals of the engine
Andy with no chill at the end. Classic.
Well done with the progress on the cars this off-season. Hope to join you guys next year with my build.
I love the way you share so much progress in each video rather than dragging things on over dozens of videos
The welds on that oil pan got me a little tingly inside 😈

P2R also sells green 3.5 inch cone filters n I have personally dyno tested those filters against k & n and I have always made more power

Thanks for sharing! I have always wanted to see how much more power a ported RBC makes on a K24. The ending was great 😎😆👍
Elvis Lee makes the best hand ported intake on the market.
man is blasting his civic with money :))
Just finished this exact engine/trans swap in my ef. Test drove it for the first time yesterday. This video has me even more excited!
8:48 I love that edit.
This so awesome! I got my Vstack running through my headlight for my b series hatch.
You two boys have gone alllll the way down the "Project car" rabbit hole for sure! Keep diggin boys!
Sbs is the best! I have a ported RRC that was done by him and made 13 more horsepower over the nonported RRC.
Beautiful welds on the new manifold
Great Video Guys,,
Velocity Stack and Run Out by Headlight Seeing that this is a Track car to soak all that cold air in 😁🙌🏻
Amazing production quality and great to see progress with your cars. Awesome work as always. Thank you for the videos.
Only thing i could see from here is milling the head/block a bit to raise compression. Good work boys.

How many WHP will you lose when you close the hood and it becomes a hot air intake?
Those shades at the end cracked me up. Great video, guys.
What about a fan like the Brabham car? Have some ducting to push it to the intake.
1:39 ow. so your telling that your wing can hold a lot of downforce ha.
ok ok . so cool 😁
The all-important *DRIVER MOD*
That's a sick setup! Good luck with it this year!
Why not go with the rrc manifold, and espescially if you port that. Probably another 10whp peak gain
Hello!
What fluid did you use when you switched to that electric power steering pump????
Loving that EK hatch. Makes it worthwhile to see another Virginian building a Honda!!!
The quality of your content is hands down some of the best out there looking forward to seeing how this season goes 👍🏼
i wonder if individual throttle bodies would make more power over a standard style intake
