K swap and get it mot’d and then then it can be used whenever. Nice Sunday afternoon blast, track day, car meet. Perfect for everything. Plus would make for a great series for yt
I think it would be fun for sure, i wonder if i could get a few other Honda youtubers to give me a hand in doing it down the unit if i get the parts together
This is going to sound wild. If you have an IACV on that motor after sitting for a very long time the coolant can slowly recede and cause an air pocket to form around the IACV. This can cause a high idle and or, an inconsistent idle. What I've had luck with on these older hondas is to take a small hammer and tap it around on the IACV to sort of dislodge the air pocket. After a little while of tapping while its warming up you should notice the idle dip back down to where its supposed to be. I hope this may help you resolve the idle issue before pulling out the engine lol. P.S. Love to see the Honda Diaries intro again after so long. I missed this car soooooo much
It is impossible to hear the old channel intro without singing along! So many memories of back in the day. Great to see the old girl back out and on the channel though.
You need to give this car a refresh maybe even go fully built with the engine and turbo it that would be the best content you could do a lot of people would love that as that’s why a lot of us come hear to the channel I have been watching on and off since this car 😊
I bought a EG4 after all yhe years of seing your car and k swapped it over winter love all of your videos but the eg holds a very special place in my heart
3 years ago I was 19 and had just bought an eg to restore and it’s what made me find this channel. I ended up watching every video on the car and I’m so glad to see this video on it. Had to sell my eg due to it being a bit of a big taking on with my experience at the time. Just bought an ep3 to get back to Hondas the other week, we need all the og Honda RUclipsrs to get back to it.
the yard and she are crying out for a good clean :) eg is amazing would be amazing to see it with a full interior again and fresh black dash oem+ always
Also, I’m in a similar boat with my EP3, I’ve had a daily Accord for 3 years now so the civic just sits, obviously an EP3 isn’t as desirable as an EG but I could never sell it, more of an ornament now days 😂
Feel like this is a car that could really get traction for your channel . Watched most of your videos over the years and didn’t even realise you had that gem. Surely you could do something with it to fund its own repairs. Im sure the views will speak for themselves 🤞🏽
Unfortunately mate 2000 views a video ain’t going fund anything except maybe a Nandos at the end of the month, I wish it would I promise but k swaps arnt new and so many done on RUclips it wouldnt pick up either, just reality, I would love to do it but it just has to wait until I can fund it personally and want to do it instead of just doing it for “content” I’m not as lucky view wise/ algorithm wise and scale of reach as others, but I appreciate everyone who watches now would love it and I would too, but this channel just won’t fund it, my biggest views come from car features, not builds unfortunately
problem with 2 seats is so many people used to ask for passo laps at track days and it drove me nuts, ima. bit of a loaner sometimes & like it that way haha we will see
Hi Adam, loved the intro! I honestly feel like you have mentioned the thought of Kswap a few times over the years in video's. My opinion is go for it! Plan and budget it out in a time frame that suits you. Like you said, "You never selling her". Take your time and source all the parts you need. I just want to also say Thank You for all the great content over the many years you have been on RUclips. Been watching your channel from the Honda Diariessss days and seeing that intro brought back great memories of that time of my life. (South Africa living in Ireland) Cheers and hopefully met you at a future event.
It wouldn’t be a Honda diaries with out you saying the brakes need doing on the eg 🤣😂😂 buzzing to see that back at the start and the end been a long time 🤣🤣
Life again can move forward, the dust atop the books are blown away, the spring vtec hath arrived and life emerges from the ashes - this is Honda Diaries bawananonwanano by 6 two 1.
You may have already gone down this route, but have you looked at the IAVC? The issues you're having with idle and hunting sounds similar to what my friend had on his EP3, good clean up of the IACV sorted it. VTEC, maybe the solenoid? Both easy things to try!
Once the s15 is done and if I have the money I would love too but I’ve. A couple of bikes to buy still, let’s hope the algorithm will be kind and show me to a few more people and the channel can help it happen
Damn I missed the 6TWO1 intros, always cracked me up. I think the EG looks sick, even to this day. The weird Idle problem could be the IACV, or it could be the water hose that goes into the Throttle body (I've had this problem on an EG6 before) The VTEC not engaging could be the ECU, sometimes this ECUs fry the VTEC part of the system (It happens on flashed ECUs more often, but still happens on stock ones), try another ECU that has VTEC (P30 or P28) that you know it works and test it out. If you have low level of oil in the engine it also can desengage the VTEC.
Man…just came from a recent drift masters video and had to come back to my boii Adam Ivell/6two1 🙌🏾 miss the Honda stuff…I still love the DC5 with a js racing exhaust video. Please don’t get rid of the Honda stuff! Do the b18! K is dope but B was meant to be in this chassis!
Adam that type of small dent can be taken out by a good PDR guy. Wont be too much. A small touch up of paint will take your eye off that rear chip. Ive dropped you a DM on Insta ❤
The honda diaries intro gave me a semi
😂😂

Naa b series is way cooler!
@@BenExell ive done b series for 14 years man, i really want to try a K swap, plus pricing dictates it really
@@6TWO1 b18c like you mentioned would be the cheaper option. More power and still have the better sound imo 😊
@@BenExell but way older and more likely to go wrong, harder to source parts and costs more for them, I’m going k if we do swap
Hearing " Honda diaries... " oh the nostalgia!! 😍 Man the EG looks so sick.
Awesome video man where Tom peck 🧐

This car is one of the reason i got myself an EG.
“Alexa, play the most iconic RUclips intro”
Nice to see the civic back out again. Sad to hear it is suffering 😢 but that car needs to be out on display as proof for all your hard work!

Gosh, it is so good to hear Honda Diaries 621 intro 🎵
Love this car and your story with it, dude! Keen for those shirts 👀
Look into the idle control valve could be your idling issue/hunting/check valve cover Breathers
Hell yeah Honda Diaries is why I'm here
Man what a throwback at the start, brings back a lot of memories that Honda Diaries intro 😂 love it
Also, I’m in a similar boat with my EP3, I’ve had a daily Accord for 3 years now so the civic just sits, obviously an EP3 isn’t as desirable as an EG but I could never sell it, more of an ornament now days 😂
I'm just so happy it had the original intro. I was signing along to it with the mrs giving me the strangest look
hah it had to be done, get her singing for the come back as ill use it on the whole series
Idle control valve and check vtec solenoid
Man you've been making good content for years now! Keep up the good work
Thanks for the kind words man, youtube doesnt think so but ill keep at it

Yes the throwback intro!!!!
Just here for the intro
This car is awesome, it'll be cool to see a K swap in it, hopefully we see it back on the road soon!
one day for sure man
And some matching seats would look good to
problem with 2 seats is so many people used to ask for passo laps at track days and it drove me nuts, ima. bit of a loaner sometimes & like it that way haha we will see
But I love this car has to be my favourite out of all the cars you own it’s a beast 😊
I been watching you since you started. Bring back the eg.
Awesome Adam 👌😍
Hey, the idle problem could be the idle valve, its only 2 12mm bolts on the back of the IM

i think so too man, thank you for tuning back in!
Yes Adam!!!
Instantly starting singing along to the intro 😂
I own the b18c4 swapped EG that you done a video on years ago! (Kanjo style)
Legend!!!
miss you bro!!
Sounds like fast idle valve under throttle body the unscrew over time and causes idle reving and looking. K24 swap and and type r transmission
Matching Passanger seat get it running nice 👌🏻 k20 build ?🤔 😜
The Honda diary’s intro gave me tingles 😂 b18 🤝🏻
man, I miss the Honda Diaries!
Restore back to full interior and enjoy it on b roads to cars and coffee
No chance I’m paying the price for an interior ahhaha I’ll make something instead, prices are a joke now a days. Rather buy another motorbike 😂
I have one too same color eg ive had it over ten year its my og wip 👍🏻✌🏼
🤝
Best car on the channel 👌 K swap would be worth it especially if it’s back on the road
civic looking awesome mate
To forget this car would be like to forget this channel
K Swap is the way forward!
i drove DannyDc2's when he had his red kswap and fuck me it was fun! I think i gotta go that route
Honda Diaries 🫶🏼

VTEC, maybe the solenoid?
Both easy things to try!
Yeh man we had it to bits and cleaned it, no fix :-(
I would keep the B series because of nostalgia. Try to find a used transmission and replace it, if you don’t want to rebuild it.
Tidy yoke, k swap it for sure, great vid
New Honda dairies series of you doing a K swap on the EG! 😁
Once the s15 is done and if I have the money I would love too but I’ve. A couple of bikes to buy still, let’s hope the algorithm will be kind and show me to a few more people and the channel can help it happen

we tried them man we changed so much off camera too, its so irritating but i will thnik of something in the future. S15 first, then this
Another Great Vlogs ever 👌

B18 is just so expensive now man, can do a full kswap just for the cost of an engine!
If you do a motor do a k series
Let's be honest we're here for the civic.
And or the silva.
So content wise worth sorting the civic and getting rid of the rest
I refuse to live by “make content to be popular” I just film what I’m doing, people can stick or leave, but I live for myself my friend
If you buy a b18 you will always want the extra torque of the k20
yeah this is my worry
😊
K swap it yesterday. Speak to Danny dc2.
He’s off travelling the world man I don’t wana bother him
Bruhhh..... just slap on an eBay turbo and hold on tight!! You'll be grinning from ear to ear!
missed that intro 😅😂
Definitely k swap
Didn't see this car like 70 pounds ago
Grow up
Yeah nb
k swap it yourself 😁Hate it when people say there going to build a car and then just pay folk to do it !
We defo will do it here, I’ll get a few of the Honda lads down for a weekend if we do it
@@6TWO1 Dude that would be epic 🤘🏻🤘🏻
k swap 👍
Honda eg6 idle issues is common, just Google lad
honestly we have tried everything. Its been driving me nuts
@@6TWO1 so annoying and frustrating, we all been there
