K swap or J32? for 3rd Generation (2015+)

would the K24W7 engine be too big for a third generation honda fit chassis? Also for that engine it would need the 8 speed dual clutch, right? im thinking of buying a salvaged Acura TLX on an auction for very inexpensive. im currently beating my engine to the ground. i have 30k miles on the stock L15 after only having the car for 6 months. if i do an engine swap would the K24W7 be too much or would i be better off getting a J32 like this one guy i saw on this forum where he swapped a J32 into a second generation fit. need some advice pls, ive been doing research. but dont know much hahaah.

I can't answer your question for sure, but I have always read the the engine bay (and engine design) of the Fit was made very compact on purpose. It utilizes the height of the engine bay, rather than depth. So, you may have issues fitting the induction system if not the engine itself.

Good luck tho', I love it when folks make 'sleepers' out of little economy cars. Google Smart Cars sometime.... YIKES.

Would you be doing the work or paying for it? Unless you were doing the work,I imagine it would be cost prohibitive.
