Everything you need to build a killer K-swapped EK Civic

If you've watched our latest video on K-swapping a mint EK Civic (CLICK HERE) you may we be engaging the frothzilla for your own piece of booo-BAAAA glory. So, we've put down all the parts used to build our sweet EK Civic streeter. 

This car started as a 2000 model Civic GLi, an auto D16 non-VTEC single-cam base model. We did some work to get it looking and handling its best thanks to EK9 Civic Type-R kit and Enkei RPF-1 15in wheels. 

The K-series engine we used is a K24A3 from a mouldy, festy Aussie market Accord Euro. We sold the stock transmission off to help pay back the purchase price of the car, and then it was onto decking out the engine with everything we'd need to make over 160kW at the front wheels and give us over 8000rpm of iVTEC glory.

ENGINE FITMENT

The DC2 Integra subframe is a genuine second-hand Honda unit bought from a wrecker, but it was stripped and rebushed to make it ready to accept the power the modified K24 is kicking out now.

TRANSMISSION

We used a Honda Y2M3 six-speed manual out of a DC5 Integra Type R, which came factory with a high-performance K20 engine from the factory. We also used a factory Honda DC5 Integra gearbox bracket to mount it.

FUEL SYSTEM

We put together a few kits to sort our whole fuel system as the K24 will make more than double the D16's original weedy output. The Hybrid Racing kit included a fuel rail, fuel lines, fuel regulator, and fuel pressure gauge, while the Honed fuel pump kit included much more than just the lift pump.

WIRING

Some accessories we needed included various sensors to suit the K24, and some to suit the Haltech ECU. The charge circuit for the engine needed to be customised from the Accord parts to suit the Civic body loom.

All up we spent nearly a year planning this swap and researching what parts we needed to have on hand before we even lifted the Civic's bonnet. The swap itself took a few days as we had a couple of worn parts to replace which we couldn't have foreseen before we started, and using trusted brands from reputable companies meant everything came together like it should have. 

The car is now driving on Sydney roads and a rude amount of fun. B16 who?
