i want to swap a k20 into my fit, but i have an AT.. is there a way i can change it to MT? i know if its possible it'll be expensive. im just curious if i have the possibility. if not i guess ill just settle for turbo haha

 

ok i found that i can, but i really dont know how much it would cost to make my car compatible for the k20.. any help?

 

K motor swap
for instructions go to fitswap.org
there is a neat pdf file that all you need to know about the swap

 

i think it is somewhere in the realm of 6-8 thousand depending on how much you get the k series motor for.

 

thats including the motor, mounts, tranny, ect., and the mt conversion?

 

you have to use the k series transmission and shifter lever assembly. i think that was a total price i came to when looking at doing this swap, but i also have a hook up with the k motors. it would be cheaper and more effiecent just to go with the turbo kit.

 

Ok, thanks. I might do that anyways because its cheaper, but the HP from the K looks so good

 

youd be better off selling your fit and getting an rsx or newer civic si

 

The hp is not only the best part
the best part is the red line, the engineering, the originality and the NA powerband....
You will be in a totally different realm when you have a K motor under your belt.
It's like a whole new world opened up to you. you have billion of choices of what you want to do to the K.

 

thats why i want to do it. i could max out at 150 hp. or i could START at 200+ hp. very tempting. i just dont wanna kill the resale of my care by converting it to an MT and swapping a motor..

 

that will DEFINITELY kill your resale.

 

dang. thats what im scared of. and i dont really want a different car.. yet. i just got a fit lol i wanna have fun with it for a while at least.

 

i love the fit, and a ton of hp would be nice, but that isnt what the fit is about, ya know? lol

 

yeah. i love it, i just feel like im driving with a weedwacker for an engine lol
i went from a nissan titan to a fit. i hated the 15mpg on a good day but loved the acceleration.

 

It is not easy from AT to MT. It is a lot of things that different from the AT to MT. it can be done, but hell a lot of work seriously (I did). The tran. is different, the clutch pedal will drop you crazy and req. hell a lot of custom work.

I would recommend you trade the MT Fit or just go for Turbo. for K20 swap I believe x3 more custom work on the AT Fit to make it work.

 

dang. ill see what i can do. turbo is last resort..

 

im open to any ideas/ hook ups/ opinions/ whatever! i just need to figure out what i should do..

 

trade in your fit, buy an MT one
that would probably be cheaper in the end

 

i have 8000 miles on mine, how much do you think id get for a trade in?

 

you would get an amazing trade in,
my brother traded in his 08 fit with 9k for more than he owed
