Even tho I’ll probably never k swap anything, your the epitome of why I’m a graduate of RUclips university. You’re a badass bro much love
Thanks 🙏🏻 and knowledge is power they say so im just trying to help empower the people in the world.
Its been such a big process! Awesome job man, you never gave up no matter what the build threw at you
It was hard for me to be honest but I came out on top! 😁 never give up 🙏🏻
Man, you've done great job. I have to go back and get caught up with some of the videos i missed.
First off, prayers for Alisha and the sub that reached out to you 🙏 Great video bro going over the process of this amazing build! Love the outcome! You definitely built a beast! Keep up the great work bro and thank you for all your hard work on your videos, God bless.
I absolutely love this truck. It has been an honor to get to watch the build keep up the hard work brother.
this is what i've wanted to see for years. everyone would throw V8s in these trucks and i always knew there were capable 4 cylinders to go the whole turbo route so kudos for that.
I like the truck the idea the uniqueness and the dedication no matter what setbacks u came across you kept going on something that had never been done before. Keep up the good work n keep moving forward
I'm building a k24 ranger right now in Austin tx. Shits not easy
@@bonlafayette6996 if ya got questions James would be the man to ask.
Do they have a forum or a page where I can reach them? Cause I would like to bounce some ideas, I'm new to this so it's tough but I'm making progress. Just finished my drivetrain today so now I gotta fab some motor mounts
@@bonlafayette6996 he has an Instagram I believe same name as this channel and I believe his email is on here too. I know he would reply to emails. He's helped me that way a time or two. I don't have his email anymore or I'd give it to ya but I do believe it may be listed in the about section on his page but Instagram may be best route I'm sure.
@@GlassWerx 1z z d poker I k m
So glad that the truck up and running so good !!! I like how this video came out I really enjoyed this build
Congrats again I know it was so much work and effort that we didn't see
Thanks for all the great content you put out!!
How do you have only 24k subs? You deserve way more bud! Love the content
Thanks 🙏🏻 it’s probably because I put my faith in my videos but it’s okay my mission it to help and show the glory of Jesus at the same time!
Awesome. Wish I still had my old 2000 Ranger now
Wish honda made minitrucks back in the day. They would be so sick!
element pickup would be cool
Not going to lie that one piece of wiring harness has helped me out so much since you gave me where to look for
23:59 thank you. This made me pause the video and reflect on myself and life.
Very good video bro!!! You made it super detail and easy so everyone who watches has the confidence to do it then selfs 🤙🏽
Thanks bro 😎 would have been soooo much easier if I had help but I pulled it off hha
@@TexasHondaChannel ill be done to help eventually bro
@@MidwestCarGuy I know you will
You're a savior, 3.0 just burned out finally, was just going to throw in another Vulcan but now I'm gonna k-swap it.
Consider a early 4.0 ohv or a factory 5.0 out of an explorer with a 5 speed from the same year v6 f150 check motion auto for how he did his turbo ranger 5.0 it was bolt in easy.
Amazing video plain and simple never seen any engine swap of any kind as detailed and entertaining as this
Awesome build! Been daydreaming about this swap and here you are with a how to video.
Great build bro😎
Such an underrated channel, so thorough
I need these videos. My 3.slow is a total pos ! Omg yesssss
The 4 cylinder that was in this truck was so slow only way it did 80mph was with a downhill lol 😂 now it gets to 100mph in 10 seconds
I am beyond impressed there are many high-end lots of flash and glamour automotive tuning shows on RUclips. Your camera angles are solid I understand what you’re doing you make what you’re doing possible to the every day guy. Granted you need to have a little money to burn that’s with any project. Kudos and God bless man love these videos look forward to learning more
This is so bad ass! I have been thinking hard about k swapping my 05 ranger! Then this video popped up in my feed. It’s a sign for sure!
I remember watching you James explain to the haters on your eBay build wayyyyy back in the day this thing is bad ass bro keep it up ! ❤
Sweet ride. Nothing easy about what you have accomplished. Respect
Thank you 🙏🏻 my back hurts lol 😂 I’m only 31 and my back is killing me after all these years of modifying cars 😂
You are doing a great job of explaining what you are doing! Love seeing a ranger with a Honda motor in it 🤟🏼
Thanks and same here! It’s hard to not go out and just stare at it lol 😂 I feel like a real King of the hill moment lol
Brother the beginning of your video I’ve never seen that before ever. I’m TUNNED in from now on!
Good in depth how to!
Thanks man 💪🏻
Super cool. I remember back in the 80's cruising Cooper Street in Arlington, Texas seeing the sea of tuned mini trucks. It was a very cool time. Love seeing mini trucks live on. Cheers!
I have this motor in my shed and just inherited a ranger. K20 swap is my only choice. I have an Si and a few other civics. This is whats going into it. I could do my D series turbo build into there, but nah.
Sup bro 👊cool video
Thanks took 2 days to edit it lol 😂
Very good video love it
And the award for best shifter goes to...👏 👏 👏
I have my K24 RSX and I will definitely be doing an all motor k20a3 setup on my 04 2.3 single cab ranger, thanks to you!
let me know how it goes
Texas Honda just got a Cali Honda follower !! Sick truck 🛻
Hey man, Great build! Mine is a little different, a turbo-diesel swapped ranger... but i have been looking for a video like this forever! the info about the adapter fitting for the clutch master cylinder, the seat brackets, and the intercooler are super helpful and will be used on V2.0 of my ranger! Keep up the good work!!
I just seen a Chevy LUV and it looks like it would be a perfect candidate for a k swap.
This is the best video ice watched in a long time
I’m SO GLAD someone did this. Have a b2200 I have Wanted to k swap
saw this truck pop up on facebook marketplace a while ago, never thought id see it on youtube too lol
Hey brother, I’m so happy to see you working and doing such different things. You’re great and I’m super proud of you!
This is an amazing job! This is exactly who I would want working on my truck!!
Thank you so much for doing this . I’m going to watch the whole series. I’ve been watching you for a long time . Mainly your Moore Motorsports page. Love all your content. And your Texas Honda channel is super underrated and deserves way more subscribers. Keep it up man .
Dude, I knew I recognized you. I've been watching your vids since your "James D Guy" days on the other channel. Looks like you're "James K Guy" now lol.
Nice work on the swap, I've been planning something similar myself and I plan to post it on YT someday. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love ford rangers........hate hate hate Honda..........but between PFI speed and BoostedBoiz I have come to understand why Honda is cool...........damit I wanna hate.......but I just can't anymore!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!! Keep up the good work.
The swap I always wanted to see in a ranger is a SHO v6 motor..can't really find anyone who finished..hell Ford didn't but never produced the ranger gt
@@Lot_Lizard2024 I would like to swap my Ranger's engine out with a Ford 300 inline 6. Those are easy to modify, and they produce lots of torque.
This is one of the best things for budget car guys since sliced bread. 👌
Patiently waiting for the 2.3 in my 09 to die so I can do my own K24 swap. All motor for my taste. 😉
Just get a a2 head and swap it on the a3 it will change the compression and get you intake and exhaust VTech. Heck ya awesome swap been thinking of k20 or (24 (if I can afford one) for my 91 yoda Helix mini truck. Awesome video broski congrats 👏🎉🎉
Watched this to many times , you need to seriously k swap a classic car. I'd play it on repeat
Forgot who it was but there was 1 channel that k swapped a 67 mustang coupe.
@Smokey.07 yeah a 65 mustang and saw a video for a fox body . But id love to learn the process of merging an old body harness with new age harness
@@bushidokori agreed, that would be interesting to know. Can only imagine the projects that would stem from that
Omg that's my dream set up on 84 svo mustang, also thoughts and prayers 🙏
Man this engine bay looks pretty similar to my pickup!🤯 I have 1993 mazda b2600i and I just a purchased a k24a2 and looking for a rx7 turbo 2 transmission
any idea of what this project costed ? just engines parts not the truck . by the way clean build ...
My first car was in 1991, brand new Mazda b2000… slammed on kmc terminator2’s…. Having a kseries in one of those would be a goddamn blast!!!!
The RX8 Transmission is an Aisin AZ6 and can be found in the RX8 and Miatas with 6 speed gearboxes (I think the NC Mazdaspeed and ND models). It is also found in the Silvia S15 and Toyota Altezza/ IS200 for overseas folks.
You're smart but your electrical skills need work. Some of those wire connections made me cringe. Do not ever wrap soldered connections with tape, your project will burn eventually. There is heat shrink tubing that excretes glue or sealant when heated and shrunk, this is a better more permanent protection and it will 100% keep water out. I love the build though I just hope you get all of that wiring fixed up corrwcrly
The amount of times I've stopped projects do to lack of heat shrink is ridiculous. I finally wised up bought a couple of those thousand piece packs
Also soldering wires together isn't a good way to do wire connections. Crimps with heat shrink are superior. Less brittle, less breakable, less damage to the wire.
@@NathanaelNaused solder is fine. It’s just harder to do a proper solder than it is to do a proper crimp. So most people mess it up
Let’s see your builds? I wanna see some tight wire looms and proper crimp connections with as much jazz you’re talking.
@@jamescameron6819i got over 200 all different sizes pieces for 1$ on temu
I love how clearly you explain everything. Subbed.
How can I get a/c to work with this setup?
Haven’t gotten that far yet
Loved this video learnt lots what a great mechanic you are...beautiful conversion thankyou for sharing
Made it look too easy, fit like it was always there, nice, great job.
That’s a killer truck. Soooo much fun I imagine. Dig the spray bomb paint job too looks good 🤘🏻
I love this guy 🙏🏾
Much love bro 💪🏻
As much as Christian kindness attracts me i find it wierd idk why but i appreciate u keep up good work
thats epic. i am going to start my 94 rebuild soon and im looking into what others have done for engine options. love the K20 non turbo as a choice. seems doable for something tame as a weekend toy.
Love this build, god bless everyone ❤🛠🙏
Your love of God, Honda and Ford Rangers you got my sub.
Kinda want to do this to my 94 explorer but it's 4wd. So might need to find another one to do swap.
Thank you for that it was very informative you knocked it out of the park
Would this be really similar to do in a 1990 ranger? I thought it would be really cool to swap one into it. But this is the closest guide I’ve found. Keep up the great videos! God bless!
(My ranger has the 2.3)
All rangers from 87-11 are the same
@@godsgaming9009 no they're not. 2004+ has more electrical
Dude this is awesome you make me want to engine swap my 2.3 1997 ranger 😅
Very nice man, that looks super clean.. looks fun.
Thanks it’s super fun!
Gonna be doing this to my 96 b2300 soon
Awesome work, we have a v6 Ford ranger I'm hoping I can do d same swap so many problems with the original computer n engine.
Have a k24a1 sitting and a 66 mustang, by chance could you tell me the distance from the blocks transmission mounting surface to the shifter? Thanks either way
Nice video! Cool truck! Well done!
Thank you 🙏🏻
A build no one asked for in a truck and engine no one wants. The epitome of RUclips. I commend you sir.
What I wanna know is why? The Mazda duratec 2.3, and especially the 2.5 are great engines with solid potential and are basically a Mazda K series only without vtec. One version of the 2.3 comes from the mazdaspeed 3, which has been built out to as high as 800hp and even has direct injection. If you're going to swap, why not swap something in that'll work with the factory ECU and retain all accessories, gauge functionality, and creature comforts? Still appreciate the vid as a K24 is on my list of potential swaps.
Honestly from what I’ve noticed it’s just lake of knowledge.
Most people don’t realize the ranger duratec is a Mazda engine and keep confusing it with the old Lima stuff
@@majorburns3680 Hell, even the Lima wasn't that bad!
Same reason people used to put chevy 350s in everything
@@dosstheboss100 Yeah, but... Like I said, the Mazda Duratec (found in 03+ 4-cyl rangers) is basically Mazda's K-series but with no VVT or Vtech. If you keep that engine you keep the factory everything else, including ECU, Power steering, and A/C. All you gotta do is either remote mount or semi-remote mount the turbo so it doesn't interfere with the A/C location, or relocate the A/C stuff.
The bone stock Ranger Duratec is good for like 350 wheel, as is everything else on the truck except the fuel pump (good for 240-ish wheel) and the rear axle (does better when it's welded like the OP, but still weak and no aftermarket). Which, c'mon, fuel pumps aren't that bad, and you can easily swap in a Ford Explorer (95-01) axle that's stronger and can also possibly come with shorter gears and a limited slip.
Hell, the springs are even mounted under the axle compared to the Ranger's over, giving you 3" of lowering right off the bat (assuming you use the Explorer leaf springs, which are more arched than the ranger ones). Couple that with flipping your shackles and you're on your way to a 4/5 drop and all you gotta do is order arms and springs for the front. Slammed, fast, durable, SIMPLE mini truck. Because bro, even the factory Mazdaspeed 3 turbo manifold fits on the Ranger engine.
Hey bro.... I love your channel and all the builds and painting you do!
I do like how you compiled this video.
I don't know if this is brought up in the comments but I'll come you didn't just go ahead and take the front bumper AKA clip off? It makes everything so so much easier especially when I have really custom build like this.
I have an 03 Ranger and honestly that was the first thing I did 😂! I was replacing the original blown 3.0 with a 3.0 out of a Taurus with 7,800 mi. Of course it was a front wheel drive and I did the necessary checklist of items to go to rear wheel drive. You end up with practically a brand new engine especially with miles this low.
Well the truck now has another decade on it since that swap / replacement and done ready to bring it into the 2020s.
I have a 2.3 EcoBoost with the 10 speed automatic (I've had five spine surgeries so no manual transmissions for me) and I'm looking to start on it in November as it will be a winter project.
It's kind of neat because I bought the EcoBoost as a complete unit on a pallet with starter and everything lol just add an aftermarket fuel pump and tank and coolant if you want but it's not going to run that long, and you can started and check everything out before you buy it !
The K series are cool and it's a neat swap (please don't take that I'm bashing your choice at all that's that's the last thing I'm implying!) but this was $4,500.
That's turbo and all and will pretty much fall into place except for some work for the transmission tunnel and drive shaft. Especially since the block is the same as the Duratec NA version that are offered in the Rangers.
In stock form with no tuning they make around 260-70 HP at the wheels. With a couple of clickety clacks with a keyboard, you can easily be putting down in the high 300hp area code.
It shows you the ignorance of the internet Google degree winners because they'll say that putting a Honda in is blasphemy since it's a Asian swap into a American vehicle but the 2.3 Ford is actually a Mazda engine lol😂.
Then I'll just keep continuing to pray for their ignorance to be washed away permanently with power steering fluid!
Thank you for these videos and wonderful attitude for our DIY community!
God bless you and your channel sir!
Why did you choose the rx8 transmission out of curiosity? Honda's manual transmissions are fantastic
would be a pain to adapt a Honda trans to RWD, unless it's an S2K trans which are pricy
Pretty wicked, gotta join the k20 club on the track like that white hatch swap that made the rounds
This is so awesome man, I want to do this swap in my ranger now
What year f150 for the hub adapter ?
Link in the description for it. I don’t remember to be honest lol
You should do a complete coil over suspension and sway bar kit and a lsd diff would put that power to the ground
You had me subscribed at "trust in God"
I have been tossing around with the idea of one of these trucks
Just found this channel and love anything ford rangers. Sick build man. Hoping to have a 5.3 or 4.8 ls swap In my 98 ranger.
This was badass man ! Wonder if I could do this to my 95 f150 🤓
What other options are there anhave to use a 1200$ adapter. Looking to do this on a budget.
Fabricate your own 🤷♂️👍
cast the adapter lmao
Awesome job dude seriously my dream truck . Sounds so good
What about honda fit k swap for next project
I can’t take on requests for next projects I don’t make enough money or views for that but eventually would be cool
Sick swap. Absolutely love it.
Wow awesome, God bless!!
Thank you God bless!
Where are you finding these prices!!?
Cool truck. I have an eg civic and a mazda b2300 but never even thought of doing this haha
My man that’s a cool built thanks for the information
Nice DIY build. Mad props.
You have any idea what rear end gearing you have? Planning on doing the same swap on my ranger and i have a 8.8 lying around with 4.10 gears
I recommend the 8.8 because I’m running a stock welded diff and I love how it moves but even with welded diff it still don’t wanna hook up especially now that it’s been Dyno tuned.
I'm going to take EcoBoost 2.3 l and max out the boost with a bigger turbo... Then put all that in my 1985 Ford ranger
I want to do this for my 2008!
I'm in the process of actually doing a EcoBoost swap out of a 16 Mustang.
No reason to max out the turbo and put anything else on it lol.
I have an extended cab two-wheel drive Edge and drove a swap identical to what I'm doing with the 10 speed automatic full interior and everything. With large tires and the rear and added weight in the bed, no traction bars yet though, it was almost impossible to hook up and felt like a freaking base shuttle being launched off the pad! A little bit of tuning on the entire stock system and you can easily 400 wheel horsepower and low 20s miles per gallon.
And have a fun drivable sports truck that can slay the Dragon (Google The Dragon Tail North Carolina) and then head to the drag strip for some fun!
Can I do this with a 1995 mightymax
If there was a way to do this and keep the A/C I'd be all about it.
There are options like vintage air
As long as you could make the lines, it wouldn't be too hard to use the stock honda pump and the ranger system.
I don’t know If you fixed the factory dash coolant temp yet but you have to get the factory ford one. Other then that that sick bro love to see different builds.
I got a 2000 ranger would thus work on it? I have to pull the engine and transmission because both are shot. Also Iit would nice for a price estimate
I just got a 99 for a Isle with a tired engine and transmission so I would just wanna swap everything but I don’t know what to put in
I subscribe because I love those motors and I'm always wanted a pickup. I just want all wheel drive so based on cost it determines whether in the future I would like to do this or not
