I know how to build the torch you’re using. The cable as well. You did really well man. I got my type r front shipped in a few months ago. On the hunt now for a teggy. Saw one in the Midwest area but we’ll see. Keep it up young man!
Thank you bro! It’s hard to find a clean teggy. I bought one for the sake of the channel only to find the inner door chassis was completely bondo! You wouldn’t tell because it’s hidden.
hahahahaha. I had to look back to see if I lost any 10mm in the process. He has a nice toolbox, but I just got my Harbor Freight mix and Match sockets and hand me downs. lol
@@freemadc2 we used to have an understand in our garage. I had my personal box. And the shared tool box. The first guy that asked where the 10mm was, had to go to the pawn shop and come back with a handful of 10mm sockets haha. Worked out great for years. Keep up the good work brother
@@freemadc2 when I first did my conversion I used the USDM front bumper support. But had to make a bunch of brackets to left the bumper up around the grill. When I replaced the front bumper years later I was able to grab those parts.
These front ends are getting extremely hard to find. 4 years ago when i had my white integra it was easy to get them. Now not soo much. I had the HID black housing front end and the most challenging part for me was wiring up the headlight harness.

Watching these make me nervous because I don't have any of the equipment to do it myself, so I don't know where i would get it done when I get my jdm front end 😭
Thanks for following me man! I think you can do it yourself. If you are mechanically inclined, you should be good. All my tools are from Harbor Freight. When it gets to the welding part, just find a mobile welder and they should weld up the spot welds for you. Hit me up on Facebook and Im glad to help out with any of your questions. I hope I explained thoroughly in the video.
@@freemadc2 Im talking about the JDM one, yea its a little harder to find one. HMO has one popping up like every other month. but some times 2 to 3 months.

What kinda welder do you need for this job? I'm trying to do this myself on a budget, most people wanna charge $900 just to weld in the radiator support which is insane
Wow that price is crazy! Doing the T method will definitely save you time and money and IMO is much cleaner than welding in the whole JDM radiator support. Here is the link to my tig welder. www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powertig-185dv
@@aldolizalde481 Yep Im in socal. I wish I had time to be honest, but got some many personal projects to finish first. Maybe in a couple of months. Follow me on my Facebook @ freemadc2 and message me there.
yooo. Im here in cali. I dont have time to do any projects at all :(. new born baby just came last saturday. More than happy to help if you have questions though :)
could you still use the usdm crash bar once you install the jdm front? or will the jdm front bumper not fit anymore? when i got my jdm front installed they removed my crash bar thing
I recommend using the JDM bash bar. From what Ive read, you can use the USDM, but you will have to modify the front bumper for clearance. Also, the JDM bumper bracket will just rest on top of the USDM crash bar, which is kind of iffy to me.
@@mystic7692 I'll try to find that location. It was in Elmonte California on Rush street. You can also try searching local places that sell jdm front ends or jdm motors on CraigsList or OfferUp. They tend to also do install jobs.
@@Soho-Fart well I'm going to order one from some place that sells them in California, but I'm in Oregon, I need to find someone here that can install it😭 maybe a performance shop
honestly i feel like you can just do the jdm front end without out the front end chassis all you need it the fenders bumper and head lights and just do some cutting and bending and rewelding the hood latch to the right spot and slap every thing on and call it a day
@@freemadc2 i did the whole front frame, btw how did you wire up the headlights, do you know how imma wire my wires up if i dont have the brown adapter on the headlights?
Broooo this video quality is 🔥
The quality it’s dope, I ain’t got an integra yet but I will and I’m doing the jdm swap
Good luck me and my buddy are doing a Type R Conversion And Front Clips Are Out Of Stock Everywhere
Everybody wants an Integra Type R
So hard to find parts nowadays to make it JDM legit :(
Your channel is slept on bro
I also been slacking on videos. More to come!!!! Thank you for the support

Be good to grab the JDM bumper extension and reinforcement bar to easily mount the bumper to.
Yep. 100% agree. Makes the install alot more easier with no modifications needed.

Thank you kindly!
Stayed with usdm bumper support? Love the video man even tho it’s pretty old it’s going to help me install my j front 💪🏾
Previous owner pieced the jdm front end together and unfortunately couldn’t find a jdm bumper support on time.

You should of spray some weld through primer before tig welding it so it won't prevent rust later
100% agree. Will use that next time around, but since the making of this video, the car has been fully repainted.
No lie badass bro 😎
where did he pick up the front end at? Great video! keep it up!

Cali is all good, but now I live in AZ, I had to install a AC in the garage :D
hard working just to get that look.. nice
Took a week to complete, but definitely gotta thank having a tig welder. To be able to handle the amperage helped a lot!
Bro I’ll pay you to do mine 😭idk where to start
This looks alot like Staylitmari's car before it was painted, same exact plastidip front end and everything lol
LOL HI yeah this was my car, these were the previous owners before it was in my hands 😂
Lol yep. Its now @stayliymari and she finished it with her finishing touches. Love the paint job!

I believe you can, but alot of fabrication is needed. Fusing the fenders is probably the hardest part, then mounting.
Question bro what would hold the bunper up isnt there onother piece you need ?
My bro didnt have the bumper support, but basically there's a retainer that goes on top of the JDM bumper support that holds the bumper.
@@freemadc2 i see bro i saw , n i looked up online , where did yall get it from? Ive seen online but im not sure if they trustworthy
@@ARP_king5.56 My friend just searched on Offerup was collected as much as he can. So all parts he bought didn't come from the same jdm front end.
Does the USDM headlights bulbs / harness work with the JDM?

What's the advantage when the headlights have that dark plastic in them?
Not sure, but probably less reflection than the chrome one.
What you use for the hood release cable
DA cable
Which hood latch cable did you use?
noe lora DA hood latch cable
U use ur USDM hood latch for the jfront too?
How about LHD still lol¿
Where can I get the front end
My friend was able to snag this one from a person parting out his car.
Can you still jack the car from the front after this?
Yes sir....are you referring to the tow hooks?
@@freemadc2 the bulge on the radiator support
@@brand2on833 My friend sold the car already so no way to tell. New owner seems happy though and has no issues.
@@freemadc2 ahh ok thanks
Where to you buy the jdm front end?
My friend bought them by pieces from OfferUp, Facebook marketplace and forums.
How long did it take you???
Probably a day max. I did 2 hours a day for a week Right after work.
I need front end usdm?
Hard to find nowadays. Almost as hard as the JDM one.
Looked better before
I need USDM dc2 hood. :D
I think I have a spare. If you in the socal area. Hit me up.
Freemadc2 can you add me on IG or FB? ig: spelkomaksim , fb: maksim spelko. ✌️
Get a bumber and paint the front
Yes. My friend sold it to someone and they painted the whole car teal. Came out awesome.

Yea, I heard you could do that, but most of the time, everyone does the T swap.
Tom made a big mistake ruining an original gsr. Now that it’s 2022 I hope he feels some regret trashing a classic car

Integra front end looks more original and better anyway. The JDM front end looks like every other car of that time, boring
Its the best :)
Ay foo, did u re use the hood latch from the integra? And no im not talking about the hood latch “cable”
my friend couldnt find a DA latch in time so I re-used the original one as a temp fix.
@@freemadc2 gotcha! Thanks!
