Honda Fi places 2nd in pre-qualification lap time!

"J's Racing Honda Fit GT" K-series all motor Fit! In the straigt at the START flag it passed everyone with it's overall straigtline speed, but needs further modification to suspension in my opinion to take the victory.

Nice to hear all of those K-series motors!

 

The K20A setup costs enough money w/ K-Pro. I would hope it performs like an animal!

 

Dude, those videos just further demonstrate the superiority of the older chassis to the modern ones. They're lighter and have dbl wishbone front and rear. ;_; torsion beam rear suspension

 

the fit woulda placed higher if the driver wasn't so sloppy

 

You are correct! The EK's were the last of the Frt/Rear Double wishbone suspensions, and those suspensions performed well on their specific chassis that they were designed on.

It's not the chassis that is double wishbone, So I wouldn't say that the "newer" chassis' like the new gen civics and the Fit are inferior.

It is said that the new suspension's are to not allow the chassis to flex as much.

"From Honda"
(Control-Link MacPherson Strut front suspension design: This advanced design provides the precise handling, stability and comfort of a double-wishbone layout with packaging efficiency that is difficult to achieve with a conventional front double-wishbone design. )

Still no excuse for the rear suspension on the fit. And of course overall the Fit in particular, as compared to the new gen civics, the fit is NOT designed to perform the same.

It can be converted to double wishbone for ones with enough $. Until then...... Win-on Ek's and EG's.

Well, the car seemed in my opinion not to handle well in the turns, I don't think it was driver error, it seemed like suspension deficiency to me. IT Sure was Fast in the First Striaght!~!! Passing by ALL!

 

aaaaaaaanywayz....

so how's that swap coming? oh yea, just information for anyone with a K20: my friend at skunk2 has a RSX-S that they test their cams and stuff on and he said that with the Stage 2 cams and valvesprings and retainers, the K20a2 gained nearly 20hp when they swaped in the K20z3's intake manifold. So if you want to grab that intake manifold for a cheap upgrade. Oh yea, and their large bore throttle bodies should be coming out soon.

 

Z3 manifold does not fit due to space in the engine bay on the FIT only.

But that's good to know for others with K20a2 swaps!

Still waiting for parts..... hopefully sometime this week......

 

really? i thought hasport used everything from the Z3...go figure

 

Nope Z3 engine and Z3 TB with a homemade adapter to up convert the A2 monifold bolt pattern. (No-one up converts normally, usually they get the RBC manifold and get an adapter for the existing TB DBW if necessary)

Anywayz, it is what it is.

***Update***

I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!! The Harness and computers are in my hands!!!!!

This weekend will be the time I put this car back together! Minus the Header.... I have to contact Hasport and see whats the status of that!

 

Oh snap! I'm there to help brother.....the only thing that might be a problem for me is the United Nations General Assembly in Manhattan. Hopefully I won't have to work it. Not sure yet

 

hopefully, I see you there man.

 

F@$* it, just run open headers LOL! wake up the neighbors and scare the chickens

 

Would you mind taking a picture? I would like to see if the harness is different from the prototype Hondata threw together for Hasport's original swap.

Good Luck

 

** Update**

The Engine is mounted and sitting nicely in the engine bay again. The pictures are to come. I will be installing the accessories and everything else over the next few days.

 

can't wait!

 

nice job on the car...

 

**update**
I found a little time to do a little work on the Fit this weekend, seeing that I had new parts and motivation to start the engine! So here's what I've accomplished today.

Engine/trans Assy. (bare) Permanently Mounted in the bay!



Showing the Clearance of room along the drivers frame rail! (trans. mount)



Passanger side clearance.



Waterpump pulley close to the frame rail. (is it what it is)



Rear Engine mount at rear crossmember.





Differential at EPS rack and pinion mounting bracket. SO DARN CLOSE!!



Mated harness (L15A1 and K20A2) With ECU clips for 2 ECU's!






Intake manifold, throttle body, harness, accessories, shifter cables, accel cable, clutch lines. THats all for today.



Little by little it's comming back to life!



THat's all for today's work, Stay Tuned!

 

Lovely!!!!

 

sweet as hell dude.its nice to see progress again
