- Nolan Drives Our 3 K Swapped Cars: Do they suck?
By Aaron Gaghagen
In July we visited our friends at Donut to help them out with a K swap into their Civic hatchback. It was such a good time to hang and work on a project together. Our friend and Donut hot boi, Nolan Sykes, wanted to do some more Honda things so he came to our garage to work on a Honda of his own. That video is coming soon. While we were waiting for some parts to arrive Aaron had Nolan try out some of our project cars. We get Nolan's hot takes on our K24 swapped GE Fit, HPD built K24 swapped Civic EK and K23/K20 turbo hybrid swapped Civic EG. Will our projects impress someone that has driven many more expensive sports cars?

"Honda fit owners don't need to worry about temperature"
9th gen civic si the same.
What did he mean by that or was it just a joke?
@@sheldonlamey7010Both. 1) They're reliable. 2) Typical drivers don't care or notice the temp gauge anyway. 3) The ECU will shut down the engine if needed.
@@althejazzman Thanks I like the fact that the little engines in the FIT are have a Timing chain that's different from the older Honda models and possibly better.
Or shoulder room either 😂😂😂
The random lambo driving by 😂
They didn't want that smoke!🤣
I was out driving my K24A2 CRX for the past week. It's soooo much fun!! 3.5 year project. Big thanks to Brian and all of Vtec Academy for the help along the way.
just love to see the smiles
Good video! Just gonna get it out there, my FK8 in the rainy NW has just as much bounce on the front wheels with new tires. When it’s wet here (now) it’s a constant traction battle, until you encounter corners. Then it’s no competition.
Nolan needs to drive a Jswap next
a j and an h both the most underrated honda engines
I have a 2015 Fit and I've been wanting to K24 swap it since day 1. This video just makes me want to do it more. Honda really should have made the Fit Si with a K series.
They wouldn't sell enough of them to warrant producing it me thinks.
that's probably true, but a man can dream.
I never noticed Nolan's head to body ratio before
I thought the same thing 🤣🤣 they might've edited it bigger, needs decompression by having vtec hits 🤣
He started losing weight this past year, he used to be bigger early 2023
bros got a noggin
Size 8 ¼
It’s just the thumbnail 😅 you guys can’t be serious 🤣
My two favorite channels together at last hell yeah
Thank you for your support!! We love hanging with our friends from Donut.
Awesome Nolan out here at AZ 👍🏽
That k24z3 is a beast. I love it in my stock ass 09 tsx 🤘🏻
great video
that little blue honda element in the intro, lol.
Can't say I've done anything with it, but I have an k24a8, I hear people still like the K20s more but its a fun little engine
I love this channel 😁
would love a k fit
Let's go!!
super cool seeing Nolan on a VTEC Academy video, plus I'm always down for some k swapped fit footage
It really pays off to fine tune these engines and chassis, it's very time consuming but it's definitely worth it. My buddy's turbo Civic doesn't come on as violently but it puts down all the power it makes even with an open dif.
Cars setup like that are the most fun
@@skeylnge For sure. It allows for better throttle modulation, but can still rip the tires off if you really want to.
DAMN BOI !!!
Fast and good on gas...damn good fit!!
I knew Nolan was gonna like the boosted K
who doesn’t like BOOST?
“I’m about to get schooled” 💯
Imagine selling the fit back to the dealer and the guy appraising the car is like wtf did they really make this in a k24? hahah
found out the other day i work like 2 miles from these guys.
Nolan!!
Need a driver mod . He seems like a guy who should be daily driving the flinstone car
I’d like to see a Tsx wagon, K20c swap.
When Nolan drove passed the Mustang that’s just a Honda thing..
Track battle!
It’d be interesting to match it up against a Type R or the Donut EG.
should build one of the honda 5 cyls
I never noticed… but Noland sounds like Sam Sulek 😂
No VTEC crossover on the fit🤔
great video guys, nolans great.
Great vid guys!! Happy 2024!!! More EF chassis if you can
What mods did you guys do to the head to fit the a3 block?
Water lines for the turbo cooling. I used an RSX water pump an housing for the water source.
Did the A/C Get worked out in the Fit or no???
does the k24 GE mounts work on a GD?
3secs in... fkn mustangs! Hell yea nolan😅
Noland pretty much admitted to wanting to take on carrot top.
The Fit Si should have had a K20 with 8400RPM redline
how much did it cost to swap in the k24?
I have a 2012 fit SI
I would have killed for a Fit Si from the factory. Can't believe its Ford's fault that we never got one 😢
Does a 1999 civic SI em1 subframe work for a k swap? or should I find a Integra/EG subframe?
Yes, it does. But the EG subframe places it in a better position.
@@VTECAcademy Thanks for the fast answer.
Every day god is tempting me to sin and k swap my perfectly working honda fit gd.
K swapped GDs are heaven sent!
Honda's have a temp gauge. Blue light is too cold. Red light is too hot. Everything in-between, you're *good. (*According to Honda)
I wouldn’t call that a gauge, since those tend to be graduated.
I need me one of those K24 swapped Fits!
What shifter is in the red hatch that nolan likes so much
Probably Acuity, I think Hasport is affiliated with them.
Acuity is correct.@@BMXsXeCRX
This video is dope 😂😂😂
put him in the k swapped 1st gen crx pleaaaaase
We couldn’t get it there that day.
You drove the eg better than the fit
ROWDY
So in the uk the Honda fit is called the jazz and we got a jazz si and it has a 1.4 hahah I does have a nice body kit
I know there is a guy that’s a DJ that has a nasty jazz. (Honda FIT)
here in the US they come with 1.5 base
what cams does the ek have?
Stock 2012 Civic Si.
Am I the only one who thought this was awkward? Cool seeing the collab but😐😐
WTF does Ford canceling their Shat Box ST have to do with us not getting a sweet Fit Si?
If the competition doesn't sell, then why would yours sell? That's basically their thinking.
Damn yall let him drive the eg before me thats mean
Come on over @adieselcotton!
HONDA GANG 4 LIFE
I got myself a second fit just so i can do this swap (when the stock motor stops working)🙃
Hell yeah!
That's my plan too
That's IF the stock motor stops working
Why wait for the motor to stop working? Nothing better than a 2400lb honda with 220hp.
Nice to see a honda fit having a k24 in it. Those cars are really fun to drive even with stock power
My guy can’t even recognize k serie engin
No doubt he broke one of their cars
ask them about ther 50,000 dollar civic that definitely did not cost that much to build as its not even boosted or itb
I mean, I'm not really even a donut fan, but their Civic definitely has ITBs dude. There's a whole video about it 😂
250 hp, 250 tq, 250th like lol, coincidence? These things happen in 3’s which will be the HP numbers in my k23/24 when I’m done building it
Out of everyone at Donut I absolutely fucking hate Nolan.
nolan has an EF?? :o
Electric power steering? 😂
At some point.
i wish i had the opportunity to k swap my fit
I came here to watch the K swap Fit
Nolan we can tell alot from how you drive my grandma drove her crown vic with more balls 🤣 😒 😂 🙄 😤 😑 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whats going on with the thumbnail? He has a tiny body and massive head!
those shifts 😂😂😂 my grandma can shift better than him
damn production sucks compared to donut videos
Yeah, we don't have 30 people working for us.
R u dumb?
