subbed. I've got an 08 EX coupe w/ the 1.8 and I used to have a 2nd Gen TL that I swapped a 6spd manual from an Acura CL. I really miss the torque of the J32.
Yeah, no thanks. Servicing that engine requires lowering it. I just spent 2 days doing a water pump on an EP3 with a K24 that was not meant to be there. Pain in the ass.
I recently finished my 8th gen Si swap, it’s got a j35 out of a 2012 accord everything fully functional minus AC. Gauges all work, factory electric power steering, you guys know more then I do but if there’s anything your curious about while doing the swap feel free to ask.

Hi, I did a swap on my 2009 honda pilot from usdm J serie to JDM J serie with usdm ECM when start suv throw code and clear if than the suv run fine. 3 day later I did replace alternator than few hour was driving than I lost acceleration. I switch all sensors the suv still not running right. Suv won't rev over 1500rpm but stay on idle. What can I do to make it run good again. Do I need new ecm or flash it? Or I'm having fuel problems? Please help
you reckon its possible to do a J-swap in EF? asking 'cause I have a second gen GA2 Honda City (has a D13 engine, all stock) and I was planning to do a engine swap that isn't a B/K-swap into it - but I also don't want to have a janky looking hood to fit a taller motor.
Is there any difference between the sedan and coupe engine bays? I have an 06 sedan that I'd be interested in doing this to 🤔 also what about an automatic transmission to go with it yhat has the "manual" mode that some newer vehicles have?
Isnt the v8 Crossroad engine the biggest Honda production engine? I know the Hond Indy NA car is v8 as well. Or did Honda commission that v8 engine out to another company to make? I dont know much about that Crossroad v8 Honda used.
I wanted to do a J swap in my 06 civic and basically everything I found online was people saying the motor would never fit and they were saying stuff like you'd have to extend the dash even further back. What a load of BS the motor fits, its close but it does fit.
So, I blew up my 2007 civic SI, cracked the block. Now I'm lost on how to make her run again, what engine type. Any suggestions on what to look for? I love my civic, it's such a great car.
Hi Brian; I have 2005 J35A7-1025268 Honda engine. It makes a ticking noise. The Honda Dealer has no idea what is the culprit. With a statoscope, i can hear the noise coming from the engine block. i have driven the car from LA to San Diego without any issues. Appreciate if you could share your experiences. Thanks ahead of time
@@VTECAcademy I can hear the ticking when the van is idling on the driveway but the noise is masked out when i rev up the engine or when the engine is cruising on the FWY.
@VTEC Academy Yeah, the 02-06 CRV and the Element chassis. I've seen there are J to K adapter plates out there, just not sure what the mount solution, wiring, etc would be. Would it be better to use the J auto trans with the Pilot, Risgeline, or RL awd system or try to keep the trans and control from the K series. Just lot of questions, but there's no doubt a J in a CRV or Element would make the car so much better!
I really don't see why it wouldn't, I had an EP3, the K20 is a pretty large little chunk, and there's plenty of room left around it without a bunch of the shielding and crap inside the engine bay.....I'd say ask me how I know, but I'll just say, I bought that poor little thing on its last leg from some kid who beat the hell outta it, there was heat still in it and everything still worked, but the bay was gutted from all kinda plastic accessories and shielding, I'd think a J would fit rather easily (still wish I didn't trade that thing away.... damn thing I thought was about to die is still going strong 2+yrs later and I could've K24 Frank'd it by now 😅)

Honestly, any maintenance with this swap would be cumbersome. I totally see what he means.
Really wish you guys could have continued this
No reason to do that. Doing maintenance in the car will be a nightmare and the car will be extremely nose heavy. K20/K24 is the answer these days

Ayyyyy the J series!!!! Let’s go!!!
Would have loved to see y'all continue this, or do a J swap in a RD1 Civic.
I cant wait to see the next part
this is what you call big block swap
All the naturally aspirated torque!
I just bought a 79 CVCC first Gen Civic. Its a HondaMatic (JDM), but planning on putting a SOHC VTec in it.
That and the DOHC ZC are probably the only engines that might fit without hacking up the front end.

That would be awesome!
Any updates?

Hot rodding Hondas since 1998!
well going to have don @ rpm to come up with a wiring answer of this car then as kit will be available

Could you show us k20c swap in the fa1?
If coils is difficult/impossible to change, what about spark plugs, which you have to change frequently?
Iridium plugs should last 100,000 miles.
Drop the engine or take a hack saw to your engine bay lol jk
with the ones on the rear you could probably make an access panel through the firewall
Do any of you guys know whether MT/AT both works with the J35 motor?
In India we only had J35 out of 8th gen Accord AT. MT was not available in India.
If we source a 8th gen Accord MT transmission from overseas, could it be matted with the 8th gen AT Accord engine?
Good show
This swap gives me ideas, the new J series and 10 speed from the redesigned Pilot into an 11 Gen Civic.
I think I'd do the TLX turbo J.
Can we get a j series Honda fit???

Bet it’s gonna have chassis flex

It yet.

What transmission would run with it?
That depends on the block. But assuming you are using a 08-13 Accord Coupe engine then the 08-Accord manual or 08 up TL 6-speed with LSD.
