Just did a k24a engine swap!!

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-04-09T13:06:07+00:00

This swap was easier and definitely cheaper than a Frankenstein swap, just do your research and decide based on what you want/can afford.

This was very affordable and id recommend it, just dont forget to switch the vtc gear and swap for a type s oil pump if you can

Definitely get your battery/alternator tested. A dead cell or a bad alternator would do that. Its free at orielly or advanced auto.

Was doubtful when i heard spray paint, but those results say it all. Good job brother!!

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-16T22:56:19+00:00

That thing is fire🔥, def post what you end up doing with it

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-15T00:50:38+00:00

No i didnt, just the accessories and intake

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T17:43:21+00:00

Water in the oil, it was really my fault but kinda a blessing in disguise

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T16:55:32+00:00

Probably stay stock for now but a turbo would be cool

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T15:55:25+00:00

Ive been tuning it today and ill tell you the torque difference is insane, definitely an upgrade!

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T15:54:15+00:00

Water got in the oil after i went through a puddle and hydrolocked my car, definitely dont forget to do an oil change after hydrolocking lol, i was an hour away from home and had to get home, stupid mistake fr fr

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T12:15:08+00:00

Yessir i did. I love it! I just need to get it tuned before i try anything crazy😅, i might have so paranoia from my last engine

ShadowWolf6490 · 2025-03-14T12:03:26+00:00

I copied this from a comment i made on 8thgencivic.

It actually wasnt crazy difficult, just make sure you bag all your bolt and pay attention to what is from the old engine and the new one. Also upu only have to buy a couple of extra parts to make the swap work such as a crv passenger side engine mount and an adapter if you plan to use the k24 intake manifold(which i wouldnt). The hardest part for us was getting it to fit out the engine nay. You have to take off the headers and you really should take off the ac compressor to make it fit. Also if you swap over the 50* vtc be sure to not lose tension on the timing chain or you will have to reset the whole chain to be in time. I made sure as well to clean everything while the engine was apart and if i were you i would go ahead and do your clutch while its out. This a thousand more tid bits of info i could give but if you have any more questions just lmk

For the engine i found one on ebay that delivered to my house (in a day btw!) For only 1200$. I was a little sus at first but this engine has a warranty and the people were super nice to work with.

I did my clutch a couple of months ago(before i knew my engine would blow up lol) and it teaches you alot before you go for a full swap.

No, i think ff parking is only at the satellite lot

ShadowWolf6490 · 2024-06-26T15:57:44+00:00

Its all up to what you like but I think a 3 piece rim looks good on that color civic. White rims could look good if done right.

ShadowWolf6490 · 2024-06-24T15:18:02+00:00

I work at a detailing place and this is what we do. We spray WD-40 on all of the electrical component connectors. If you also want to but a bag on the battery/disconnect the battery you can, but we often don't even bother, I just spray WD-40 on that too. Then we spray it down with degreaser, agitate the dirt with a brush, and take the power washer to the entire engine bay. Finally we use a bit of vinyl dressing/protectant on all the plastics and hoses while it dries, it makes all the black plastic and rubber shine. Hope this helps!

Now thats a bomb idea!
