how about the ECU?

should I change to a Mugen / Spoon ECU for upgrading my L13A in order to tune up the throttle body?


Thanks!

Ed

You'll need a lot of cutting and welding here and there in order to fit it in.

Seems like the first Honda to be unswappable...*sigh* I was really bummed out to hear all the cutting and fab stuff involved with the K swap..Not sure what is up with all the carmakers these days making the engine bay smaller and smaller, it's like if you don't have midget hands you can't access crap

lol..

wow.. moving on to less violent issues...this is my first post and i was wondering, would the Spoon Sports damper and springs be too stiff for everyday use? and would it be too low for a mugen body-kit? in the videos i see with the spoon fit the OEM bumper is really low to the ground, will the mugen be much worse?thanks.

K20 swap into honda Fits is possible since its already being done by someone in Thailand. However due to its power, the changes will surely put much preasure into every part of Honda Fits since it didnt build for that kind of power.

Again I havent seen it in person, but again this have been done.

Eh, an enthusiastic "meh" for Fit K20 swaps.

I'd much rather have an EG or EK hatch with a K20 than a Fit, they're both lighter and have better suspension, and way more aftermarket support.

And it'd be a much cheaper chassis. I wouldn't wanna carve up a brand new car for some esoteric swap project.
