Well this is what it has come down too, would it be better to go with a k20 all motor or if I really want some power, turbo it? Or just stay with the L15 motor and put a turbo on it? What is everyones view on this? I used to be a subaru guy so I am trying to pick up on the honda stuff.

 

if you got money, put it on a k20 turbo....

 

f that... stock motor turbo. k swap is over rated

 

i second that... the L15 got potential just wait and see, because the car been in the state for a year or 2 ( give it sometimes)

 

So you guys really think staying with the stock motor and putting a turbo on it will get some good numbers? I mean there isn't any internals out for it yet and it won't be able to hold more then 10lbs until then. A K20 is a lot of work to do though.

 

I wonder if the L15 will be capable of 400whp?

 

if you're a subaru guy, just get an EJ20T STi Motor and AWD drive train and swap that beast in there ... sorry, i'm dreaming

 

i really really doubt it

 

i say L15 for balance (or what's left of it)

 

Lol, you mean EJ25? EJ20 is only in japan for the STi or WRX in the states.

 

So then I should go with a K20 then if I want to get some good hp?

 

exactly what i meant... drinking while doing research isn't the best way.

 

What? So are you joking or talking crap?

 

why do you want 400whp in the Fit? 400whp is way too much, especially if your dailying. I guarantee youll be happy with 200.

 

i think he means he was drinking and mixed up the 2 motors

 

What do you mean why do I want 400whp? Why does someone want that much in any honda? It could be a civic hatch to an integra. I bought it for gas milage and a good car to get around car but now I want to do some things to it. 400whp in that car would be the $h@t!!! Talk about a 11 to 10 sec 1/4 car. My STi when I had it had 500whp and it weighed over 3k and it would only do about a 12.0 flat in the 1/4 on street tires. Hey, I am a hp freak.

 

So in your opinion since you have a supercharger, would you recommend keeping the stock motor with a turbo, a k20 all motor, or a k20 with a turbo?

 

keep the stock motor. it puts up numbers with no internal work. Just think of when companys actually start making go fast toys for this car...

 

id stick with the L.

 

I think I read somewhere on here that all the extra weight from the k20 is just as good a supercharging the L15.
