Ok Fitfreaks, How many are contimplating just stickin with the L15a7 and giving it a little build, I just seen a L15a fit laying the pipe to a overpowerd NSX through some turns on a video. and there really isn't any "Tracks" arround here besides the "Dragon" aka Deals Gap. but i am thinking you could probly go balls to the walls w/ a L15a7 w/ I/H/E and lsd and be pretty peppy and responsive
. BUT... we all know how bad we will get raped on a interstate race vs. almost anything. I went head to head w/ a Nissan Stanza the other day lol
and it was dead even. Something has got to be done.
So who thinks it would be a waste to build a L15a7? vs wainting on a k20 swap

Where is this video? I would suggest you buy a motorcycle if you need an irrational vehicle.
oh yeah thats right. i do recall him saying he goes to a certain gas station to fill up jugs of high octane gas. if i remember correctly i think in japan the lowest ocatne is 91 than goes up to 100?

Okay, total mechanical newbie here, but didn't I hear that the K20 is significantly heavier than the L15 the Fits have? So affects suspension, cornering weight distribution, etc? From what little I've looked at it, about 5K-8K for the engine swap with some bodywork done to accomodate the larger engine and of course labor - then full suspension workover and possible chassis reinforcement braces?
Wouldn't it be far more economical to just use forced induction on the Fit, adding maybe 10-15 lbs to the front? Or would this be offset by potential drop in fuel efficiency at high revs (especially highway cruising say at 75-80 MPH)?
Edit: OOPS. Wow, really old old thread FTW!
