Making 8th Gen J Swap Mounts
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
It's the hot rod tale as old as time. We're putting a big ol' engine into our small car. The Honda J series is a V6 ranging from 3 to 3.7 liters in displacement. So, it would make sense that we would drop one into our 8th gen Civic. We have to go bigger and go faster. But first, we need to make mounts. Check out the start of the process of going J series in our FG Civic.

Gauges all work, factory electric power steering, you guys know more then I do but if there’s anything your curious about while doing the swap feel free to ask. The electronics work almost perfect with the 2008-2012 accord ecu.

@VTECAcademy

The problem with the 07 Ridgeline is the ECU. It isn't tunable. I have an 06, same thing. If you wanted to do a conversion to the 09 up electronics Ktuner makes a product. Then you can simply maximize the stock engine or add boost.

I really don't see why it wouldn't, I had an EP3, the K20 is a pretty large little chunk, and there's plenty of room left around it without a bunch of the shielding and crap inside the engine bay.....I'd say ask me how I know, but I'll just say, I bought that poor little thing on its last leg from some kid who beat the hell outta it, there was heat still in it and everything still worked, but the bay was gutted from all kinda plastic accessories and shielding, I'd think a J would fit rather easily (still wish I didn't trade that thing away.... damn thing I thought was about to die is still going strong 2+yrs later and I could've K24 Frank'd it by now 😅)

Street racing and cheap don't mix. Just buy something practical and build it up over time. If you want cheap I'd just buy a stock b or k series and start w/ bolt ons, then a ktuner. The more money you spend on the car initially = the less you'll want to spend modifying it, especially if you encounter a problem and something happens to the car
