Welding time! JDM Mini Truck K24 Swap in Honda Acty - Rare Kei Truck Engine Mod Adventure
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- The K24 motor is in the 1995 Honda Acty! We will start fabricating brackets and get into some welding. By the end of this episode we will have the motor fully supported by its brackets and no longer have a need for the transmission jack stand.
Over several episodes, we are documenting the process so that you can see what it takes to make this motor swap happen. This has been attempted by few and there are not many details out there to help the DIY kei truck k swap enthusiasts. We hope to shed light on the challenges and solutions of this process so that anyone with the desire to take this on has a fighting chance with minimal struggle.
We are also participating in a friendly competition with Josh "The Tuning Wizard" with Driver Motorsports. Be sure to follow their page to see these builds in each perspective. / drivermotorsports
Join our community and ask questions. We are an open book and want to help get more of these motor swapped Kei trucks on the road!

Love the Vageta and Kratos Kirby tats.
Appreciate it! 😁
That's a sick Vegeta tattoo man
Thank you 😁
For a next video, you should consider putting in a Goldwing engine in a Kei truck. The Goldwing engine is flat and could fit better, It is powerful and extremely reliable.
My heart was set on the k swap and I like the challenge 😁
looks good brother sweet build
Appreciate it!
Gr8 info. Nice info for people that don't know what really goes into a project like this!👍
There’s a ton going on! Thanks for following along.
The powder coating is bad ass! Really sets off the whole swap!
Agreed! We have some more powder coated goodies coming up soon!
Damn if only you where closer I'm wanting to k24 swap my acty raccoon and you look like the guy who'd come over with a case of beer and a box of tools and help a brother out haha. Build is looking great!
You know it! 😂
Very cool, fun to follow along. Nice work!
Thank you! We’re really enjoying this build and proud to share the process.
Great work man 🦾 ! Glad you are documenting your project!
Yes, thank you!!
This is awesome, I want to do something similar to this, but in a Kei Van instead. Probably with a B-Series for space, but still, 3+ times the factory power will be wild in a Kei Van.
These things can use the extra hp for sure!
Awesome work! great footage as well. Fun to watch!
Thank you! So glad to know this is entertaining to other people. 😁
Really love how this is coming along! I need to get me a mini truck and do an engine swap like this. Much love from Upstate SC
Glad you’re enjoying! Thank you for following along. Love to hear others inspired to do their own swap.
Keep up the concert Homie!
Thanks, Jeff. Glad you are watching.
These have been great to watch. Keep up the good work.
We're glad you are enjoying it! Thank you :-)
Hey guys great job it’s coming out super nice . I’m a truck guy and I’m thinking on getting a Honda acty and customize it but not at that level to much money for me , keep up with the great work 😎
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it. Definitely picking up and Acty; they’re fun just the way they come. 😁
Very interesting
Yep, that’s for sure 😂
Buy a couple of sets of transfer punches, one imperial and one in metric. It is much more accurate than using sharpies and guessing where to center punch. Starlets cost huge dollars, but the Chiwanese, ones are around $30 per set. Buy a couple of sets, then buy the expensive ones to replace the ones which get dull.
That’s great info. Thank you!
Loving this! 👍😎
👀😜
Desde Colombia, felicitaciones, voy a emprender un proyecto parecido.
¡Gracias! Háganos saber si tiene alguna pregunta en el camino. Feliz de prestar algunos consejos.
Youre cool as hell brother
🇺🇸😁
Love the build, glad I came across you guys channel. Gotta ask what the song in the background is @ 5:00
Thank you! Wish I knew what song that is, but I’m not sure. Our editor added that in. Thank you for watching, and following the build! 😁
LETS GOOOOO!!
Yeah!!! 🙌
I can’t wait till some guy in the year 2084 watches this cause he’s trying to do the same thing. Probably will be a electric motor tho, Yk.
Will def be an electric “motor” 😂
man I wish you numbered these would make it easier to follow
They are numbered in the thumbnail 😁
What are the dimensions between the frame rails? Can’t believe you can stuff everything in that tiny little place 😂
It’s 32” 😁
I think it would have been better to put the engine up partially under the cab seat and such instead of in the middle of the bed. Then put a smaller gas tank under the bed in back. What would be really cool would be to put that Kei Truck on a Subaru WRX chassis (engine, transmission, axels, suspension exhaust, breaks.... I wonder how flat you can really get that engine if you did two separate intakes and throttle bodies on the side and modified the oil pan... You would have to raise the body up a little to give you some leg room, but this would let you put larger tires on it. Think though a 2.4L turbo Boxer engine with all wheel drive...
This is the factory position that the motor is mounted. Keeping it there allows the rear axles to line up to the wheels hubs like all Hondas. That’s part of the reason anyone who has attempted the swap, has put the motor in this location.
The body doesn’t come off the Acty like it does on some of the other Kei trucks. 😁
@@insaneimports_official But I doubt the axels and drive shaft can take this much power and I think this video or another one mentioned you were sending out the rear axel out. And while it would be a pain and likely add more weight, cutting and moving frame parts might be annoying, but not that hard.
I really wish they had a US distribution and left hand driver versions. My nephew is a Subaru nut and owns his own shop and got into racing with a Subaru. I think he is using a modified WRX. Those things have a crazy Boxer engine 2.4L turbo and AWD that is in a crazy cool package.
Check out the latest videos and you can see how the axle was revised.
Damn I’m just just trying to buy a mini truck. I’m here if u donate jk I’ll pay u back lil by lil. Great job
You can do anything you put your mind to 😁
Thank you!

@@insaneimports_official 100% thank you
Anytime!
Content, lol
😁
If the motor were poking up right behind the cab that would be possibly acceptable, but in the middle of the bed? That's just plain stupid! it ceased to be a usable truck at that point!
The original motor is in the same spot so why cut a totally different hole? Also, the motor must sit over the wheelbase so that’s the only choice.
Maybe I didn’t want a usable truck bed anymore 😂
You're taking to much 😮
