well the driver side mount didn't even sit flush with the frame rail, so that was common sense, and the bottom motor mount was rubbing the steering rack, when we fitted the motor.

Question for you glockbag. Who did you talk to at hybrid racing about your fuel lines. I need a set myself for my k swap. Just wondering what exactly you ordered? Thanks.

hey glock what harness did hasport send you. did you go dual ecu with kpro? Im going to run a tsx ecu with element or tsx harness depends which fits better. was wondering if you got the same thing? I am suppose to get my harness sometime this week or next.

doctordoom 08-06-2012 08:47 PM

Great build thread and good job on the updates. Looks like your project is moving along - I'm staying tuned for more.

555sexydrive 08-07-2012 06:45 AM

I know the car is not moving at the moment, but you aren't going to mount your front wheels the same way are you when completed, right? Looks like right and left are reversed up above. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

AWESOME BUILD!!!

oh so ur the other guy doing the swap, Brian was talking about he was working on a single ecu setup for some guy, which must be you! Well i couldn't wait any longer for Brian to figure out a single ecu setup, so i went with the traditional dual ecu setup, which is a pain in the ass, since you don't get any instructions from hasport or hondata.

I actually fired her up last night, but theres a lot to still fix since hasport didn't really give me the correct harness, so im left with repinning connectors. Not fun when you pay big money, and still have to modify, and troubleshoot.

MNfit 08-07-2012 12:01 PM

God damn! I know I dint do my swap my self but maybe I was better off getting the universal K-tuned harness and a Stand alone.

icollins247 08-07-2012 12:50 PM

It is my dream to someday (not in the near future) swap a K20Z3. After working for Honda for two years I have really come to love the performance and sound of the K20Z3 and I also love the versatility of my Fit. So in my opinion it is a perfect combination!

Your build looks fantastic! I can't wait to see more progress and the final results!
