Viewer Questions: K24 1994 ACCORD, B18A1 EG Civic Swap, 7th Gen K Swap Parts LIST, Crimp like a PRO

By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

“Hi Vtec Academy subscribed to your YouTube channel few months ago and now i finally have a question but it a long one. I have a 94 accord ex original idea was to swap in a euro h22. However ended up scoring a 04 tsx with 120k miles on the stock 6 speed trans with a K24a swapped in.
I started a part list to swap this into the 94 accord and would just like to make sure I have most of what I will need. Thanks
you in advance and for any tips in doing this swap.”

B18A1 into EG Civic

“I have 92 Civic VX and want to swap a B18a1 into it. What wiring harness, distributor, ECU, alternator, and axles will I need to make it a bolt-in swap? In addition, if I utilize the HA Sport engine mount kit for the EG chassis, will I need to make a dent in the frame rail to get the motor to fit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

“2002 Civic EX K Swap”Hello i have a 2002 civic ex coupe with a d17 and 5 spd manual. Just purchased a k24a2 from a 2005 tsx vin 9. Complete with harness ecu even gas pedal. But it is an automatic. I have found a few 6spd manuals but havnt bought one yet. This is my first honda project so all the db dc gd em names i have no idea what they mean.There seems to be a ton of almost info out there but none is very accurate what i need for swap. So far ive learned i need an rsx subframe but nothing about what years compatible. I did find a 2002 rsx subframe but dont know if its what i need? Also ive learned i need a crv engine bracket on passenger side. And 2005 civic hybird radiator and air con parts. Hasport mounts but dont know which ones? Unsure if the 2005 tsx exhaust header and down pipe will fit? No clue if i can use the tsx throttle body? Every video shows it replaced with others but dont understand why cant use it? If its throttle by wire i am getting all wiring complete. On to wiring is it feasible to use tsx at engine harness to passenger compartment harness? Will i need special convertors for speedometer etc? Going to 6spd manual how do i go about deactivating automatic trans sensors in ecu so no engine codes and everything work properly? Or should i be looking at using the manual trans ecu allready in car? Also best half shaft and axles to use 4 lug wheels Seen a video mentioned an imobilizer deactivator. Is this something i have to do also? And would really like to keep shifter looking oem so nobody suspects k swap. What is best option? And the million other things i havnt discovered yet that i will need. Oh ya and im far from rich so price is importantThank You for your time.

Sincerely Chuck”

“How i know you are a real professional.When you strip wire you did not twist the end before crimping. Long time ago worked for a luxury ship company that lost huge amount of money over a single employee who “knew it all”. That employee had twisted every wire before terminating. Over time wire relaxed where twisted and fell out of terminals.Guess its just my pet peave at my current employer i randomly remove a wire if twisted i tell employee redo it all.I litterally said outloud. Hell ya that guy knows his shit. When seen you did not twist ends.
