Duuuuuude.. this is a hell of a video. I can't wait for the next one. Your attention to detail is insane. Keep up the killer work. I'll be waiting for the next video.
Nice video! I've just done a k swap on my EG civic which i bought during lockdown here in Australia. Never been into Hondas but they are are so easy to work on and with the K24 it actually goes like a cut snake! Cant wait to see how the vtec killer setup goes. I was recently reading up on it and am considering it for a future project.
Thanks! I’m excited to see how it performs. Next video will be up in a couple days, it’s nearing completion but I’m slow only working on it in my spare time. I know I need to pick up the pace :)
Yea I regret going with red on the calipers. I do like the badges :) I actually rebuilt the stock calipers and painted them black but the piston cylinders we were just too pitted so I didn’t use them. I agree I should have gone with black or silver on the replacements. Thanks for checking it out! 👊
Bless the algorithm! Your channel got suggested to me on my feed and I’m always looking for new Honda content! New subscriber here from the UK! It’s so crazy to see a civic over 300k that isn’t rusting to pieces. Over here in the UK you’ve got low mileage examples that are in terrible condition because of the months of salt we get and rain! Loving your content and awesome to see the episode end with the k swap news. I’m currently k swapping my civic too and documenting it! Love your cat aha. Keep up the good work and I’ll check out the next episodes on this!
Super good video, something about oem wheels is so nice it’s almost like they were meant to be 🤣 This video just popped up in my recommended and I see you haven’t uploaded in a while, but I’m really looking forward for the next video on this one
Very cool VX. The original D15Z1 is a great little engine for efficiency if that's your thing. People drive them 600K miles. My son has a 94 and with commuting we could go 10K miles between oil changes because it doesn't get dirty very quickly. It's not slow because it had a lot of miles, that's just how they are. :-) But 45 - 50 mpg on the freeway.
Thanks for checking out the video! It was painfully slow before the swap but with these gas prices it’d probably be worth more with the D15 still in it! :)
Dude!!! Nice fucking work. You went ape shit on that clean EG. Definitely my favorite civic. Had a 1994 Si. Loved that car. Go B series swap. K series is nice but B is period correct and tons of huge builds on that older motor!!!
Thanks a lot! I think I may have went a bit overboard on this one. Same here, EG has a special place in my heart, hatch, couple, sedan, all of them. I strongly considered going B series but the deal I got on the 02’ complete RSX I couldn’t pass it up.
That car reminds me of the 96 hatch i had with a d16y7... which was my second civic with that motor. I could barely get up steep hills with that car. Anyone who knows that hill up to yucca valley ca knows what im talking about. I had to downshift a couple gears and cross my fingers lol
Great job! I just looked at your post. Q&A what was the paint you used again on the hardware the color and brand? Thanks in advance for your input. I have a up coming front and rear up grade myself on EG9 26yrs old :(:::
Thanks for checking it out! The grey color that I used on the trailing arms, brake backing plate, knuckles, etc. was Rustoleum (metallic charcoal) which is almost a perfect match to the Ktuned grey. The black that I used on the brake booster and a few other random parts was VHT (flame proof - flat black sp102). For the wheels I used VHT (wheel paint - ford argent silver sp188). Hope that helps. 👊
It was just under 4k but that was before the used market went crazy..I’ve been seeing them for crazy prices like that too (6k +) when they’re clean...IMO if they’re rusty just wait for the next one
swapped my stock wheels for another set, so much regret makes me stomach turn how young and dumb I was. thinking of working on that stupid car again just pains me that cali's smog law is so strict ugh
I said VHT satin black but it was actually the VHT “Fire Proof” black header paint that they say is flat finish but it ended up with that satin looking finish.
Hopefully someone will chime in cuz I don’t have any info on K swapping a first gen CRV. I think Hasport makes a B series mount kit for you but I don’t know about a K series mount kit.
I could see this channel blowing up soon enough 👍
I'm over here taking notes. The attention to detail is amazing 👏🏽
Duuuuuude.. this is a hell of a video. I can't wait for the next one. Your attention to detail is insane. Keep up the killer work. I'll be waiting for the next video.
Thanks a bunch bro! 👊 I really appreciate the support. The next video should be a good one.
Man that bubble clean !!!!!!
Starting a similar build on my own VX, but coming from no experience. This video is a great start! Hope I can do something half as nice as yours!
your paint is so good for those miles... good for you
Can't wait to see the Ep2
I’m workin on it..the K series is bolted into the hatch, several things left to do but it’s coming along!
Great video. Enjoyed watching it.
Nice video keep up the good work Can't wait for the next video

Useful information.

super awesome! i have an identical VX and ill be following your steps real soon!!!
Very clean and great work! I'm not a big fan of the red calipers and the red badge though but love everything else!
Yea I regret going with red on the calipers. I do like the badges :) I actually rebuilt the stock calipers and painted them black but the piston cylinders we were just too pitted so I didn’t use them. I agree I should have gone with black or silver on the replacements. Thanks for checking it out! 👊

So awesome! Had to sub to see the rest of the build! I’m jealous man I can’t wait to see the final results!!

Let’s see it go from D to K🦾🤪!!
Dude!!! Nice fucking work. You went ape shit on that clean EG. Definitely my favorite civic. Had a 1994 Si. Loved that car. Go B series swap. K series is nice but B is period correct and tons of huge builds on that older motor!!!

Old school.. just say nice job and keep it moving LOL
Keep this one a VX. Find a non VX for the K-Swap. These are rare as they are the super efficient version.
Make a playlist for the eg bro
That car reminds me of the 96 hatch i had with a d16y7... which was my second civic with that motor. I could barely get up steep hills with that car. Anyone who knows that hill up to yucca valley ca knows what im talking about. I had to downshift a couple gears and cross my fingers lol
Exactly! There aren’t a lot of hills in Texas but a simple freeway overpass would show me how little torque this thing had!

Nice , can I ask how much did it cost ? I have seen some in my area but people are asking 6k or more and some are covered in rust .
It was just under 4k but that was before the used market went crazy..I’ve been seeing them for crazy prices like that too (6k +) when they’re clean...IMO if they’re rusty just wait for the next one
@@RatherBeRestoring yes sometimes we get anxious about it , I guess we have to learn to wait so we don’t do a dumb purchase

Thanks for subscribing!
swapped my stock wheels for another set, so much regret makes me stomach turn how young and dumb I was. thinking of working on that stupid car again just pains me that cali's smog law is so strict ugh
Do you still have the Honda? You did a awesome job
I do still have it. Thank you!
Part 2?
Thanks for checking it out! If you look at my other videos there are actually 2 more on the hatch and I’m working on a new one. 👊
What the number of one paint he used
The grey I used on the suspension components was Rustoleum and I think it was metallic charcoal. The wheel paint was VHT Ford Argent Silver
Which vht satin black was it? Was it the wheel paint?
I said VHT satin black but it was actually the VHT “Fire Proof” black header paint that they say is flat finish but it ended up with that satin looking finish.
Do you still have the Honda?
Do you have any of the d15z1 parts left!?
I don’t, sorry. I sold the D15 swap complete.
Is that Tahitian green?
Yup..bg-28p-4
Nice avatar 👍
Whats slicktop? just no sunroof?
Yup
@@RatherBeRestoring I didn’t know vx came with a sunroof option because of weight
@@jeedwards1981maybe they never offered it with the VX, that would make sense with it being the eco model. I’m just glad mine doesn’t have one :)
I want to do this for my 98 CRV, anyone got recommendations?
Hopefully someone will chime in cuz I don’t have any info on K swapping a first gen CRV. I think Hasport makes a B series mount kit for you but I don’t know about a K series mount kit.
