[ixfxi]

that stock intake looks so nice

transmission tunnel?

rear subframe?

one can only imagine

[Piggy]

That's neat, but I wish it was a better motor. Not really a huge power difference as of yet.

[Corey121]

I did a google search and it doesnt pull up anything up on this car, If find more pictures ill post em.

[future]

More info? Sad part is its not much faster then before the swap

Maybe more TQ though

[Slammed180]

Who opts out of VTAAK!? That shit is unstoppable.

[gusisboosted]

hmmm interesting swap....

going through all that trouble i'd proly go for something different.

But regardless this is interesting and unique, must be nice having all that extra tq to grunt around in

[memphis180sx]

why would somebody do that i give them the credit for the work it took to make it work . i would have chosen a better canidate to stick the motor in.

[89SwapXE]

this thing weighs nothing. imagine the torque in this little fella. :)

[7jpat]

that thing must be nice to drive now rwd>fwd

[Corey121]

I want to see it drifting around lol

[brndck]

so if you're gonna go through all that trouble, why not use an s2k motor??? they did exactly that in option mag a few months ago.

[BoostSlideWayz]

i would do this to a civic just to say FUCK you to FWD civics.. this is cool

[future]

so if you're gonna go through all that trouble, why not use an s2k motor??? they did exactly that in option mag a few months ago.

I would think they did it it to have more tq capabilities with he 2.4. The F seriies motors would ruin the point. Or at least in my mine

[nomoremk2]

It's amazing how many people hate on the ka. That hatch looks like its getting pretty rad in that still photo to me. Who cares if there's "better options."

[yetijeff]

Someone did this not too long ago with an eg as well. They swapped front and rear subframes but then drop the s2k motor. Pretty dope idea those cars are fuckin gokarts so it prolly scoots around pretty decent. And who knows maybe it's built? It'd b pretty stupid to go to the trouble and not do something to the motor...

[R33E8]

so if you're gonna go through all that trouble, why not use an s2k motor??? they did exactly that in option mag a few months ago.

Seriously???

Maybe because an s2k motor is expensive as hell??

An F20c setup would easily cost 10x more than an average KA.. There is a good chance he even got the KA for free..

[Hoffman5982]

I love how everyone acts like the ka is a torque monster. It's not a v8, it's a 4 banger. hearing that shit gets old.

Also, IXFXI, I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic, but if not I agree about the intake. For some reason it looks right at home in there.

[xoxide]

Is it an unwritten rule to not run a hood if you drive a modified honda? :down:

KA's are a dime a dozen. The motor and tranny from an S2k would add so much more $$$ to an already expensive conversion.

Also, if he/she decides to boost it, the torque numbers will be in a realm that most honda's only dream about.

[silverarrow27]

^Typical Honda boi, driving like a fucktard on the streets.

Same can be said for typical bandwagon s-chassis fan bois as well. :facepalm:

Sweet conversion though. I was expecting a fwd ka24de swap, not a rwd ka24de.

[simmode1]

The KA's sooo heavy though.... Now if dude used a Honda J35 V6 motor for this project? Holy shit yeah...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Better yet, since KA and SRs are interchangeble, he can always swap one in. Most of the hardwork/fabrication is already done. Wonder what rear end they ended up using? Last time I've seen somebody do this, they used a CRV rear end.

[!Zar!]

Maybe he wanted a carb legal swap?

[fyneyoungstunna]

I love how the V8 guys still dont give credit to motors that were kicking their ASSES since way back in the day. Tired of hearing that shit. Shit gets old.
there stock block metros, and festivas kicking the shit out of you v8 and boosted guys on road course and auto-x. Fuck they are even doing it in drag now.
V8 is for people who need to make up for inadequacies

+1

To many V8 swaps simply because people dont want to actually build or deal with tuning.. just dropping in a v8 to make up power they didnt know how to make on a smaller engine..

Have either of you even driven a LSx powered car?

Power, reliability, ease of maintenance, and cost.

There is a reason why people choose to go that way.

If you don't understand why, then you are a fucking idiot.

But then again, we have one person named, fyneyoungstunna, and another named BoostSlideWayz.

What motor is this? Lol

What motor is this? Lol
J35A8, I believe. Consider it Honda/Acura's version of the VQ35DE but lighter: 3.5L V6 with 290hp and 260ft/lbs. Except, in typical Honda fashion, it can easily be prepped to handle 9000rpm reliably. Can be sourced from the Acura TL and other such boring cars.

Wouldn't it have been easier to use the KA from the Altima?

[deolio]

word on the street is it has a miata rear subframe and the driver sucks at drifting

[yetijeff]

That's a mutt of a car if I've ever seen one (if he's got the miata rear)

[fliprayzin240sx]

word on the street is it has a miata rear subframe and the driver sucks at drifting

Why use a weak ass rear end?!!? When we did an SR swap in a miata, we had to swap in an FC rear end to handle the extra power.

[!Zar!]

Yeah, miata rear ends can barely handle miata's... Most Miata guy swap to FC rears.

[fyneyoungstunna]

oooh, Zar... speaking of fan bois'
All i read was gibber jabber blah blah v8.
Again. its the cowards way out. Am I guilty of owning a v8? yes, a 454 Chevelle and a 454 MonteCarlo. could your v8 240 keep up with them....NO....unless it was on a road course.
yeah yeah ease of...theses nuts. again, just cause its easy doesn't make it good. have you not heard the old adage? Or are you v8 fan boi's scared to get your hands dirty?
It seems to be you young'ins that are obsessed with "instant gratification" but still want to call yourselves "tuners". I say your "Power Monkeys" that's a better term for that crowd.

and as for "Fyneyoungstunna" hey its from high school and its easy to remember. Just ask your mom and sister....or should I say cousins, Zar.

[yokotas13]

My 1.6 rear end has hel through 220 turbo hp and 300ftlb v8 for no less than 10 track days and beating the piss out ofit

How bout you put my nuts in your mouth till the swelling goes down?
I see your part of the Zar fanclub huh?
Plus, its old man to YOU.

hahahahaha............... what a screen name


FYNE YOUNG STUNNA


STUNNA YOU SO FYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYNE!


whatever happened to the icy hot stunnaz??? wonder if youre related

[!Zar!]

It seems to be you young'ins that are obsessed with "instant gratification"

According to your argument, everyone should keep their Ka's and build them NA.

Because slapping a turbo on one or an sr in one is instant gratification as well.

Your WHOLE argument is that a LSx doesn't cost enough to swap in and is too reliable. So people should spend a bunch of money on turbo, internals, tuning, some jdmbullshit, and overall make life harder.

You go on with your bad self Mr Fine Young Stunter.

[yokotas13]

and my 1.8 torsen is starting to make noise..... and the car has stock power levels.

i broke a batwing, thats about it, but it was due to a faulty weld on a bolt that came loose i did in a rush, so my fault

i pulled it apart, and the torsen is in great shape, MIC'ed the clearances and everything is still good to go. Holding off on the ford rear end for it to assplode

[fyneyoungstunna]

Yeah, it does kinda sound like that huh.
But, no.
While I agree, yes slapping a turbo, nitrious, etc IS instant gratification
just tossing in a v8 is a horse of the same color (lol)
The key word in what YOU said was tuning. And my argument wasn't against v8, it was FOR the Ka. People still seem to go with the "its a truck motor" and other OLD shit. My main argument IS: 4cylinders have held their own against v8's for a VERY long time. But there is always some dumb-ass, saying"why not toss in a v8". Its the same argument the Z guys have about "why not just put in a TT?"
"fuck you, cause I don't want to put in a V8." that's the easy way out. Its more satisfying to build a turbo four or (evil grin) 3 ltr and whoop up on the V8 boys....

and it Fine, young, stunner.
Im not a stunter.....or a person who does tricks...

the best (and why i) reason to put in a v8

it sounds fucking sexy.
fuck the sound of a shitty ass 4 cyl. a cammed straight pipe v8 is fucking sex

I have about $9000 invested in my KA-T engine... I wish I went V8. So much easier.

the miata has a batwing? apparently, theres more to this car than i know! this car never ceases to amaze me.....

this guy.....

zilvia, what do we do with him?

[roboticnissan]

Theres a black eg in japan with an f20c, he used a s13 rear end iirc.

[thefro526]

This thing is actually kind of neat.

Sure it has a KA, but let's assume it's healthy and slightly modded and makes an honest 135-140 wheel.

If the EG is a CX - it weighs all of 1800-1900lbs, it's pretty much got the same power to weight as an S13 with a stock SR. That's plenty fast enough to get into trouble and have some fun.

As far as Miata rear ends go, a good friend of mine has been BEATING the crap out of his car for as long as I've known him. Never had an issue with the rear end. Inversely, there was another kid I knew, 1.8 swapped, went to launch and broke something in the diff. My understanding is that those rears can hold 'reasonable' power if you don't launch/have traction....

[KiLLeR2001]

Even if this Civic had a Veyron engine in it would still be a piece of shit Honda that would promptly need to be burnt to the ground.

zilvia, what do we do with him?

The 1.8 uses the same design as the fc rx7 but weaker housing. You can actually put the rx7 housing on the torsen to keep it brom breaking

Once I break mine again, for 8.8 is going in, fuck it

Plus I want a 3.03 gear

Expensive is an understatement, and the amount of work is unreal. It's not even almost as hard to do a rwd ka swap.

Never have and never will bother..

Sure it may be more reliable

Sure its easier on maintenance cost.

But there is a reason i don't like it.... It's still just too common.... maybe im an idiot for not liking the same thing as you do.. Or maybe you'll be an idiot if you don't like something i do.

Regardless.. the fact your calling other users idiots for not liking V8 swaps doesn't exactly make you look to smart your self.

This is where you insert your smart comeback and we throw our smart ass remarks back n forth :wiggle:

[kinghawk]

reason we even starting tearing into tjos car was because it was ready to be scrapped.we originally bought it to grab parts off it. if it didn't work out then oh well. but were very satisfied witb the outcome. ka24 engine miata rear subframe and a rx-7 diff. Total investment in the car was less than $1000. beats the price of a s2000 swap.

I'm sorry did I wait to long to post for you? I haven't been logged in for the last couple years.

[sleepyS14se]

well being it is ka24de swapped, that means a sr20det would go right in it so, i think the swap is a good idea in general

[dudermagee]

hmmm I do have a low mileage KA sitting around.....
I think I would do a integra though

[sleepyS14se]

94 01 tegs weigh 4-500 more lbs than a civic hatch... i do not see a 2600-2700 lb honda being worth doing this swap to.
