hell yeah man cool, dude b16's b18's etc.. are so much easyer to drop then a stock d17 lol i had to drop the engine/tranny out of one the other week it wasnt fun lol

good luck on the k swap post pics

[hatchkid91]

nice cant wait to see what it looks like when it is done

[rushbuster70]

sweet...keep posting pics man

[Rufus]

I've been there. TTM Sales (Wade) put my d17 in

[sniperscout]

i am doing all of this in my garage too...ought to be fun

[locash]

Save your old D17 for roofies, he needs a spare or ten.

[sniperscout]

^Ha!
I already have the entire motor, wire harness, subframe,and tranny sold.
I was the one who came into your shop the other day askin about the O2 sensor by the way

[Rufus]

Save your old D17 for roofies, he needs a spare or ten.

Another member on here has a sleeved block, pistons, rods, PNP head with Crower Stage 3 cam and valvetrain for sale... all d17...

[Mr.HondA]

sweet man that will be awesome

[V10KLR]

what mounts r u usin man ? an GL with the swap

[sniperscout]

Hasport mounts
Dont think it will be running until tuesday..figured out i was missing a few parts

[Tru03]

Hasport mounts

That sucks.


Good luck with the the swap

[sniperscout]

just got home with my hoist...d17 should be out in a bit

[bryans_k20]

Nice man, good luck with the swap. Once you got the mounts all on and stuff, it really isn't that hard to just drop the motor in. Only took me about 10mins, once I had all the mounts losely bolted into place.

[sniperscout]

yeah the hardest part for me is figuring out where all the damn hoses go

[bryans_k20]

Lol, yah that was probably the hardest part for me too. It makes it somewhat easier if you find an RSX manual.

[Rufus]

Vacuum FTL

[02BLKCIVIC]

woooot

[sniperscout]

yeah the manual is a pain in the ass cause it doesnt have just a hose connecting section...gotta figure out what each thing is first then go find it

[sniperscout]

d17 is out! :clapper:

time to degrease the fuck outta everything

[sniperscout]

Well i am about done for the day. I got the d17 out and the engine bay cleaned and painted. I still have to some more cleaning tomorrow once i get some light though. I never thought i would see the day that I got new paint in the engine bay. I am absolutely pissed though...my KPro was supposed to be here today! Expedited shipping my ass!

cant wait to see that thing in and running

[LatinEM1]

Nice work man!

[sniperscout]

so yeah today has really pissed me off.
I dont know what is up with the paint but it wont dry. All I have accomplished is installing two motor mounts

[MrRline2010]

maybe you'll get 3 done by this evening?

[sniperscout]

im so pissed right now i feel like selling the whole fucking thing and putting the d17 back in. Nothing is fucking working right

[EkFeen1]

what do you mean nothing is fuckin workin if you want people to help

[sniperscout]

im not asking for help

[bryans_k20]

Haha, don't give up man. Everyone runs into a few problems when doing a swap. Just have patience, you'll see, when its done it will all be worth it.

[JustinD]

im so pissed right now i feel like selling the whole fucking thing and putting the d17 back in. Nothing is fucking working right

thats how motor swaps go usually....quit bitchin and get in running, lol

[Rufus]

so yeah today has really pissed me off.

I can't tell you how many times I've started a side project "while I'm there" working on a main project and it's delayed the whole fucking thing. Add all my turbo woes together and I've been without my car for a 3 week period. Been there holmes. The pay off is worth it though

[sniperscout]

yeah im good now...nothing a good night of drinking doesnt cure.
I was just frustrated as fuck. For $600 mounts i kind of expect the shit to fit right. The holes didnt line up... the spacers welded to the mounts werent welded straight...and the bolts werent fucking long enough...it was just one thing after another and i was pissed. Its little shit...I was just bitching.

[ChrisIsYoung]

relax! take your time git it dunn!!! GL!

[sniperscout]

double post

[sniperscout]

if any of you decide to get hasport mounts...expect to have to buy your own hardware for installation. Overall i am really dissappointed in the kit.
I dont kow if i just got an individual bad kit, but dont be surprised if you get a set and they arent quite right

[MrRline2010]

are your mounts the solid billet mounts?

[sniperscout]

yes they are
i cant even put the motor in yet because i cant find any bolts the right length for the passenger side mount. the ones hasport provided are too short and dont even thread, and home depot doesn't carry metric bolts in the length i need. Hopefully ace has longer metric bolts. i had to go buy bolts for the rear mount that goes on the subframe too.
the motor mounts have probably pushed back my project by about 4 days. which sucks cause now i cant get to class.

[MrRline2010]

I think lowes carries metric. I know I remember stocking them a few times years ago. They carry clips too o.O

[sniperscout]

clips? like wiring clips?
home depot carries metric just nothing longer than 80mm
i need probably 100mm
I bought the k24 mounting kit. the only thing k24 about the kit is one mount is lower since the motor is taller. well what also goes with the k24 is the passenger side crv mounting bracket. the thickness of the bracket causes the bolts meant for the K20 kit not to thread. If i were to ever buy mounts again for this project i wouldnt buy them from hasport. the mounts themselves look great, and i am sure they will work great... its just all the headaches they have caused due to little details. Which in my opinion shouldnt happen for $600. These are the types of problems i would expect from ebay knockoff mounts if they existed.

[MrRline2010]

hey I dug up this link on civicforums don't know if it will be of any help, but rather let you take a look just to see if it would.

[bryans_k20]

Sorry to hear the trouble with the mounts man. Mine couldn't have worked better, they seriously went in perfect the first time, never gave me any problems and all the bolts were the perfect length. I even have the k20 mounts but am running the k24 bottom end. Maybe its just b/c of the different chassis or something, but my mounts were perfect.

Maybe i just was unlucky and got a bad kit. I am calling them today so we'll see what happens

[sniperscout]

so finally after being a week late i got my kpro
motor is being mounted tonight...hopefully running friday

[taggart_lumpy]

do you have a sticker on your a pillar?

[sniperscout]

yeah it says 7thgencivic
its the only sticker on my car besides a Fraternal Order of Police sticker on my plate

why do you ask?

[sniperscout]

I swear I cant fucking win with this swap...i just got my shifter cables...they guy sent me two of the same shifter cable

[LatinEM1]

Damn dude that sucks! But don't give up.

[sniperscout]

nope...can't give up...spent too much damn money to give up
I hate having to order new parts....sucks...at least they will be in by friday so i can still meet my goal

[sniperscout]

If I havent seen pictures of this motor in an em2...I would have to conclude that there is no fucking way this motor fits. I tried for over 2 hours to get this motor into the engine bay and just could not get it to fit.

So maybe ill have it running by the end of the year...that seems to be more of a realistic goal.

[Rufus]

haha ummm PM hondaluver on civicforums. His name is Temo

So when you going to let me drive it :P

[sniperscout]

come finish hooking everything up for me and ill let you take it around the block a few times

I have to fab up some custom brackets to move the radiator still. I kept the civic radiator. Seemed like a waste of money to buy another one. Oh and for the record...We dont need the passenger side crv mount. that mother fucker was the root to almost all my mounting problems.

[sniperscout]

hey if you want to...cause i have no clue where all the crap goes
It seems like i have a bunch of extra sensor connectors on my harness

[Rufus]

Don't you need an adapter harness?

[sniperscout]

now it seems that i do not have enough connectors...it seems that my rsx harness doesnt have the connector for the speed sendor wired into it. I have taken it apart and the wires just arent there. how does that happen?
why does it seem that car projects never go remotely as planned. nothing can ever be smooth.

[sniperscout]

that goes by the ecu...and i have one

That's why the "vets" say to spend a LONG time planning. I was down for 2 weeks for the turbo and thought I toasted another headgasket again today. These are the pains of the game but they're also the shit you look back on a year from now. Welcome to tuning and the everpressing knowledge that tuning with your daily driver IS A BITCH!

[sniperscout]

i just figured it out...the 02-04 wire harness i bought is actually an 05-06. well the speed sensor plug on the 05-06 harness is different than the 02-04. On top of that...honda changed the colors of a lot of wires and possibly the pin outs too. I cant seem to make any steady progress. I get one thing done then on the next step there is another problem. looks like i will be out of a car for quite some time...again. Next time, I am buying everything new.

Is that what u needed?

[sniperscout]

awesome....i also need the c101 clip

[sniperscout]

well that doesnt look good. the 05-06 doesnt have a few wires

well it seems i get to go to my favorite place in the world...the acura stealership!!!

[02BLKCIVIC]

who sold you an 05-06 and said it was a 02-04?

[GunnRulF]

motor looks fuckin sick.. cant wait to see it done and runnin

a junkyard's ebay store
i just ordered a new one today from acura for 235...gonna resell the 05-06 one since i still need parts of the charge harness off of it

[02BLKCIVIC]

ah egay

[sniperscout]

anyone interested in buying the k24? I am pulling it out this weekend.

[Rufus]

anyone interested in buying the k24? I am pulling it out this weekend.

Why not just pay someone to finish it?

[sniperscout]

i refuse to pay anyone for car work

[Rufus]

Well you're about to pay yourself double because you weren't qualified in the first place. Just be patient and/or pay someone. It's just a learning lesson man.

[sniperscout]

i am fully qualified to do this.
you have no clue why i am pulling it out

[Rufus]

You need a ride to work or something? I'll give you a ride man. lol

[sniperscout]

how about to kentucky?

[Rufus]

There better be 40 virgins waiting for me when we get there.

[Rufus]

Female ones

[sniperscout]

circumstances are causing me to have to pull it out

i will probably be selling the car shortly here too

[Rufus]

i am fully qualified to do this.
you have no clue why i am pulling it out

Then say that rather than "I refuse to pay someone"

[sniperscout]

but i do refuse to pay anyone for car work

i wouldnt just quit when the motor would be running tomorrow if i didnt have a good reason. ..well actually its a shitty reason...but thats life

[Rufus]

Well best of luck to you man. Need help putting the d17 back in?

[sniperscout]

im still trying to work things out so i can keep the motor not 100% sure its coming out

[Rufus]

You can use mine as a reference too

[p-townHONDA]

dam bro it was looking like it was going good sucks u have to pull it

[josh]

damn man your so close..

how much do you want for the k24

[bryans_k20]

Damn don't quit. If you need an extra hand or two I'll help you out. Just order a whole new harness and sell the one you got.

[p-townHONDA]

Damn don't quit. If you need an extra hand or two I'll help you out. Just order a whole new harness and sell the one you got.

x2 u need help lmk

[sniperscout]

i already have a brand new harness. its not money or not able to do it. circumstances in my life need money

it would be in the ballpark of 4-5k....i completely rebuilt it with tsx pistons/rods, k20 head, and has all parts necessary for an em2 swap...including kpro

[rushbuster70]

buy it rufus!!!!

[locash]

Give him 2k, Rufus, and show him how its done! :)

[crxhfb16]

I dont have an em2 but i would by it all for around 4-5k paypall..

[Rufus]

Give him 2k, Rufus, and show him how its done! :)

Well I do have $2k just sitting here right now......

..and I do know how to put that d17 back in....

[Stealthy]

uh oh

[sniperscout]

I decided to sell my extra porsche motor instead of the k24...so it is not coming out now

[The God Damn Batman]

good I wanted to see the progress on this. hope your situation gets better soon man! when you think you can get working on this again?

[MrRline2010]

I got it snipe you can ride to the meet with jason and then we can all give you a ride back to your house and give you a hand :D

[sniperscout]

it should be done this weekend. just got little stuff left...i had a lot of school work this week so i had to do that. but sine today was my last day of classes i have time. I will hopefully have everything except the ac lines done tonight. Anyone have experience running custom ac lines? or where to buy just the tubing?

I got it snipe you can ride to the meet with jason and then we can all give you a ride back to your house and give you a hand :D

im down for that

[The God Damn Batman]

i probably have asked you before, and if so soory but how mush was this set up so far?

[sniperscout]

i voluntarily stopped counting at about 4500....little over 5k would be my guess.
I have had to buy 2 throttle bodies, 8 pistons, 2 sets of shifter cables, and 2 wire harnesses though. so it should have been a lot less.

I have learned a big lesson when it comes to buying motor parts through forums....always get lots of detailed photos that you can prove are recent photos by having the date somewhere in them.

[02BLKCIVIC]

ouch^

[The God Damn Batman]

actually not as bad as I was expecting since everone says the swap is 10-12k

[sniperscout]

10-12k would be just about everything new from acura

[The God Damn Batman]

10-12k would be just about everything new from acura

what is a clutch cable. ?

the em2 is a hydro clutch vehicle....you shouldnt have any clutch cables.

actually not as bad as I was expecting since everone says the swap is 10-12k

when people say that, they are talking about a older car with a kswap (eg, dc2 etc)...an em2 is alot like a ep3 civic si and it doesnt require as many custom parts to do the swap.

ah gotcha. thats cool.

I think people also say 10k when they are gonna have a shop do all the work. Because mine didn't cost anywhere near that, but I did it myself. So hows the swap coming?

[sniperscout]

running tomorrow if all goes as planned

[sniperscout]

well as of now I need exhaust and an upper radiator hose. so monday or tuesday I will be having some exhaust done.

gangster huh...wtf does that mean

nice

[sniperscout]

figured... I am just not privy to all the new lingo

[sniperscout]

i got all of everything hooked up except the power steering resevior and exhaust. i put all the fluids in today. i also set up the kpro....well at least i think i did. I loaded up a tsx base map since that is what joe at locash said to do until i get it tuned. which will probably be in august. i didnt crank it over though cause i was short a quart of oil.

anybody know of a local place where i can get that header wrap/tape?

[Stealthy]

Lookin cool..

[gcboy90]

holy hoses batman

[MrRline2010]

Something I just noticed and was curious about why is the intake filter pointed down instead of rotating the pipe about 90 degrees and having the filter towards the rear like on rsx's is the k24 different?

[sniperscout]

^cause that is where i decided to put it. i didnt want it in the back cause of the exhaust manifold It was originally back there then i decided to cut it and put it where it is. the positioning doesnt matter. im just keeping it closer to the cooler air

Yeah I am definitely not liking all those hoses. I have to figure out a way to hide all that crap.

new mexico and nebraska are boring to drive through...texas is pretty bad too

[MrRline2010]

lexington is alright but not really that great. I don't believe i've ever been through louisville, but i'm not much for baseball gear :d. I can't remember where it is isn't the corvette factory somewhere there.

oh yeah and the national 7thgen meet in nashville

[MrRline2010]

[Jason.AZ1]

[EkFeen1]

[MrRline2010]

lol the type s :d haven't seen it at all lately.

[Jason.AZ1]

nope i dont know them but how could a 1.7 single cam beat a 1.8 DOHC ive raced em2 before but im not going to fight cause your car wont keep up with what i drive now

but just wondering what type of car do you drive?

im gonna drop it but how can a 4 banger beat a v8???

[2.0eg-si]

i watched them race and jason and the 00 si were dead even! and i watched the da race him and the single slammer won..believe it or not

[EkFeen1]

lol the type s :d haven't seen it at all lately.


yes the type S yeah you probably wont see it that often i got a cheap daily roller now

[EkFeen1]

i watched them race and jason and the 00 si were dead even! and i watched the da race him and the single slammer won..believe it or not

cool man your car came a long way i remember seeing it at your house a long time ago an it was like gutted completely well gj on building that thins

[sniperscout]

well i just got the exhaust done got a small leak somewhere...gonna fix that tomorrow

when i give it gas it dies sometimes when the rpms are coming back down. is that a symptom of injectors being too small? I had already planned on modifying them so they put out more gas but am curious if that is the problem or if there is something else wrong

i still have to bleed the clutch and re-assemble my interior

it could be injectors,fuel pump maybe or if it sputters maybe sparkplugs??

[sniperscout]

could be the basemap in kpro too...dont know why that didnt occur to me

no CELs so thats a good thing

[Rufus]

You can have my basemap just put a turbo on there and bigger injectors

[sniperscout]

rufus you are using the hx o2 sensor right? any idea if that will work for me too with kpro?

[The God Damn Batman]

nope i dont know them but how could a 1.7 single cam beat a 1.8 DOHC ive raced em2 before but im not going to fight cause your car wont keep up with what i drive now


a better driver

It requires rewiring on a D17 harness and mine still isn't complete. I'm not sure what you'd need. Contact Weeman, he's put in the time on mine so far, but yes, the newer 05+ (I think) used a wideband and thats what I bought. I don't think it's that big a deal for you since you can run closed loop. I just want it because KPro has a feature called lean protection, which is great for the turbo setup.

Kpro is fucking awsome cant wait to get it and boost mine

[jus-lookn03]

loads of with a k24 , i have k24a2 w6spd in my ep3

yeah i knew about the lean protection. but if i want to use datalogging i need the o2 sensor. I would like to learn a little bit about how to tune kpro and i know i need the o2 sensor for me to really be able to do anything

[Rufus]

I datalog all the time without an o2. Still measures fuel duty cycle, ign, MAP sensor, rpm, vss, temp, etc

[sniperscout]

ahh...shows what i know

if there is anyone that is knowledgeable with kpro that can get me running correctly so i can drive to joe i am willing to pay you for your time

[Rufus]

I can give you my original base map for my d17 with RSX injectors if you want. I just need to look for it.


EDIT* I found it, you can just try changing the Injector CC to 310 (or whatever injector you're using). I can do it before I send it to you as well or I'm sure there are basemaps you can dl on forums as well.

i know how to change the injector settings....how will a d17 basemap work for the k24?
i loaded up a tsx base map and changed my injector size per joe's advice but it isnt running very smoothly so he said not to drive on it

[Agent Smith]

do you have stock tsx injectors avlb? if so use those for now & just run the stock tsx base map in kpro until you can have it tuned.

don't run a d17 basemap for your k24....

[sniperscout]

i actually only have stock accord injectors. i was gonna modify the screens though so they put out 490cc

is the radiator overflow resevoir and absolutely necessary part? can i just plug that nozzle? I can not find anywhere in the bay to put that ugly ass thing.

you need one yes, but you can use a water bottle, empty oil bottle, coke bottle or whatever else you want though....

[sniperscout]

new issue..the car doesnt go anywhere. It feel like it is going into gear but when i let off of the pedal it doesnt move. i can put it in gear without even pushing the pedal down also.

[Agent Smith]

clutch not engaging at all? any weird noises when pressing the clutch petal? did you bleed the clutch properly?

[jus-lookn03]

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z294/kuchy1/CIMG0038.jpg

[sniperscout]

i bled the clutch correctly. im adjusting the pedal height right now but i dont really think it is off at all. when i put it in gear then let out on the pedal it makes a whirring noise. not loud though...you have to listen for it

[Agent Smith]

did you replace the clutch throwout bearing? sounds like that might be the problem...

[sniperscout]

yeah i did.
it is as if the clutch pedal is down even though it isnt.

[Jason.AZ1]

yeah i did.
it is as if the clutch pedal is down even though it isnt.

I had that problem in my integra
with my integra it was all the hydros of the clutch that went out

also that sound like grinding when you push in the clutch or let off is a throw out bearing

[gcboy90]

the only time i had this problem was when i blew an axle... i dont think thats what it is, but i do remember putting my car in gear letting off the clutch, and my car going no where

[sniperscout]

its not a grinding sound...and i assumed it was the throwout
can you be more specific than all the hydros? that doesnt make a lot of sense

[2.0eg-si]

cool man your car came a long way i remember seeing it at your house a long time ago an it was like gutted completely well gj on building that thins
thanks man now tell your friends how clean it is and that its well worth 4000 OBO :thumbsup:

[sniperscout]

well the tranny is coming out...fuckin shit
it would be nice for something to just go as planned

[Agent Smith]

G/L dude, I hate when stupid shit like that happens...

[sniperscout]

lol your telling me that
i am going to attempt to pull the tranny without pulling the motor...we'll see if i am able to

[Rufus]

I know it's possible with the d17 but damn are those engines crammed in there.

[sniperscout]

yeah i did it like 5 times with the d17..swappin clutches and trannies but i think i might just be able to do it with the k24

[Rufus]

A better choice than dropping that subframe I'm sure..

[sniperscout]

i have to drop the subframe gonna hold the motor up with a hoist

[sniperscout]

well i got the tranny out...one of the arms that hold the throwout bearing onto the shift fork broke off. That explains why the car drove once

i think i broke my big toe kicking the car... i got pissed cause my wrench slipped of a bolt and cut my finger open

i have a bit of an anger problem when it comes to car stuff. everything else though i keep my cool

[bryans_k20]

At least thats a cheap fix as far as tranny problems go. Shouldn't be hard to replace, and you'll be back on the road in no time.

[sniperscout]

back on the road? never made it out of my driveway:rflmao:

i am ordering the part from acura tomorrow so if the bearing is on this side of the country it will be here on sat and then i will be venturing off my driveway
$28 from acura isnt bad though...checker wanted $56 and it wouldnt be here for a week

[Agent Smith]

i figured it was the throw out bearing, that sucks... let me know when she's running good :)

[gcboy90]

just think... when its all done, it will all be worth it

[sniperscout]

the tranny was actually easier to pull on the k24 than the d17. I had the tranny off in like 45 minutes

[sniperscout]

all right after all the bitching and moaning I think I am finally done...mostly...still have a few things left like race header and exhaust which are coming next week. I plan on buying all new bolts and hose clamps too to make it all cleaner and shiny. I need to figure out what I am going to do about that ugly fucking overflow reservoir. But here are some pics...tomorrow is bath day so the car is still filthy...i mean like dirtiest it has ever been.

[p-townHONDA]

looking good bro

[sniperscout]

it works again im a moron

[sniperscout]

so my 15 minute trip to checker to get a CEL checked ended up being a 4hour ordeal. I have discovered that I have an overheating problem. So there I was waiting for my motor to cool down...listening to some music....once It gets cool enough for me to make it back home I go to start it and low and behold my battery was dead. At that point I realized I forgot my phone :idiot: . So in the end I had to walk about a mile to a pay phone to get picked up.

[Agent Smith]

that blows... why is she overheating?

[rudsone]

motor looks real nice in there d00d.

nice!

[Fish]

That's an awesome build, hopefully all the problems stop and you can enjoy it.


Have you gotten on it yet? i bet it moves.

[rushbuster70]

well at least the swap is done...now just time to get the little things taken care of.

[JustinD]

k24's are a BITCH to bleed all of the air out the cooling system. almost all the k24 swaps i have done took a long ass time to do this. try jacking up the front end of the car VERY HIGH and running the engine with the radiator cap off...this will let the air escape and it will bubble out. squeeze the radiator hoses too while its running....when the radiator fans start coming on and going back off by them selves it isnt running hot any longer.

[sniperscout]

^ yeah once i got it home i let it run for like 25 minutes with the cap off and it was still bubbling like crazy. That was my problem though...i forgot to bleed the cooling sytem before i drove it....at least thats what i hope is my problem.

I dont really want to get on her just yet. She still needs to be tuned. She is running pretty rough right now. With my small exhaust leak and the rough idle she sounds like a hot rod with cams kind of...sounds cool

[Rufus]

My d17 was the same way. Takes some time to get those bubbles out. Joe has a cool little tool for getting them out.

[JustinD]

Joe has a cool little tool for getting them out.

yes he does...it was so cool in fact that i had to order one after seeing joe's...i use it every time i install a motor

[sniperscout]

ummm do tell what this tool is

[JustinD]

ummm do tell what this tool is

it is a funnel that attaches to the radiator...it is pretty tall and raises the coolant level above the motor so that the bubbles come out easier.

[sniperscout]

think i could get a picture of this contraption?

[Rufus]

ummm it's a yellow thing that looks like a bucket. It seals around the radiator cap so that when it fills with water, it doesn't leak out of the cap area.

[sniperscout]

^gotcha

[Rufus]

Here you go bud.... $25....
