Viewer Questions: K Swap Harness, K Swap mount options

By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

We asked viewers if they needed help with their Honda and Acura projects and they have replied! Even though we’re replying to specific questions and issues, hopefully we answer questions that you may have about how things work. You can always hit us up on email at askvtecacademy@gmail.com if you have a problem with your project or just a question bugging the hell out of you.

We show the questions as they are sent to us, not to shame anyone for misspellings or grammar, but to show you exactly what is asked of us. Here are the questions from today’s video:

Hey guys! I’m currently sourcing parts for my 2000 Honda Civic, which I will be swapping with the current gen L15B7. I know this has been done once before in an ek with your mounts/axles. I am trying to figure out wiring, and if I can use the factory engine harness with the swap. I will be running the factory ecu with the ktuner v2. Any advice on getting the factory harness to work in the ek chassis?

Thank you!

Hi!
I have a ‘00 em1 with a jdm k20a and 6 speed swap using EKK1 kit. I now have a subframe from a dc2 I want to install… do I just need the brackets from the EKK4 kit to do the conversion? Thanks!

Hey (I’m assuming) Brian,

I was saving this for the live feed but it’s too long for that format as is. Short question is what would be required to install a K24Z3 or equivalent (say, from an ’08+ Accord or ’09+ TSX) into a chassis that already has an ’04 K24a2 swapped in? Looking for ease of transition over outright power if there are better choices.

’00 Insight
’04 TSX K24a2
Hasport mounts and axles
’05 Accord 5-speed + shifter box + cables, eventually Euro Accord 6-speed planned
’02-04 RSX base harness modified to fit K24
Kpro V4
CJ’s conversion harness

Everything has been running well for the last 1000 miles but older engines have all but dried up or are high mileage. Snagging a newer Z3 would be my only reliable source in the future should calamity strike. I’m aware of the crank angle sensor that KMiata has made a $300 cover for. Was curious about other changes besides header/exhaust changes from the integrated exhaust port. One final note, my a2 has been tuned to run on 87 and doesn’t knock. Hoping to do the same for future powerplants, she’s an aspiring street daily.

Thanks,
Mak
