What kind of engine swap did you do?
2017 Touring Coupe blew an engine at 26,000 miles, Honda dealership in Charleston West Virginia said in their opinion Honda might not honor the warranty because I had so many aftermarket accessories on the car, so I towed it home to Wisconsin and ordered a used engine from a 2016 car they had 46,000 miles on it. I then launched into the adventure of the engine swap just got it online the other day with the factory tune and a W1 turbo. After monkeying around with a little bit of the nuances of adding a different engine to a car I got that sorted out. Put in a six psi boost from Hondata and now that Old are used engine is now purring like a kitty cat, and with the six PSI tune and no idiot lights it’s now screaming like a banshee burning rubber on 40 mile an hour pulls

His videos on 10th gen Civics are worth a look see, they definitely helped me out with my engine swap and W1 turbo upgrade

Thank you very much @1981CBX for the shoutout!
I'm really glad my videos can be of some help. I'm still a small channel but things are slowly growing.
I really appreciate the support!

Car is running great! I did order Honda’s subchassis alignment tool for putting the sub chassis back on. I think it did help, though a person could probably get by with any sort of straight tool that fits. I was amazed at how well the subchassis balanced on my floor jack. I did break off the exhaust hanger on the front pipe, so I went ahead and laid out some cash for a cheap MIG welder And will remove the front pipe to weld the piece back on. I think if I had to do this all over again it would be a little bit more fun than the first time! ?
