why not run hot cams on the l15a? bisimoto makes some. i would imagine 140hp is within reach.

To cut my story short the idea of an R18 swapped Fit came up. I wasn't too keen on it since it's only rated around 140hp. But then we found this article by Full Race about their turbo kit for the R series:

I know I haven't been able to find much of anything regarding an R swapped ge8, so as of now, it would entail custom mounts, axles, so on and so forth...but it would be pretty damn interesting, wouldn't it?

Thoughts?

If you're gonna come on here and say "why bother, just go K" then don't waste your time. I've had that converation at length numerous times. Besides, innovation doesn't happen if we sit here and toss the same ideas around again and again. It's not like anyone has actually pulled the trigger on a k swap yet anyway...well not that I know of anyway.
Well man, 12 years later. I hope the project is still over your mind, though. The First gen HR-V used the same platform as the Fit but it had the R18. Probably, using HR-V Everything (mounts, transmission, Probably even axles and hubs) you can "easily" swap the R18, or even the R20 on the Fit and get a lot more power than the L15 offered.
