K20 Question

I did a little research and cant seem to get a definitive answer. I am wanting to swap the K20a2 into the Fit. I would like to keep DBW for the TB to keep costs low. So i am wondering if i could bolt up a DBW TB from either the K20z3 or the K24a2. Also will the K20a2 Hondata ECU work with this engine if using a DBW TB?

You can run whatever TB you want its just more work to convert to cable.

dbw tb helps ease the labor of swapping a k20.

jpax has a z3 in his and he even retained his cruise control. try contact hasport with your questions since they know all the wiring aspects of this swap.

Well i know i want to keep DBW to keep labor to a minimum. I just needed to know what is needed to bolt a K20z3 TB onto a K20a2 intake manifold. I know i would need an adapter, just not sure if anyone makes it.

RBC intake mani with the adaptor from k-tuned for the TB thats the best setup.

No can do. RBC intake mani is too long. Would have to do quite a bit of work on the Rad support and possibly even more. You HAVE to use the "snail" mani from the K20a2 no matter what engine you have.
