Yea, a 48mm turbo makes a lot more sense for stock internals and it still leaves plenty of room to grow should you choose to build a rotating assembly for it lol
What turbine side? Is that still T3? .63 A/R? That housing and 54mm turbine would make for great top-end and relatively low drive pressure, suffer a bit on lag in lower gears though. Power and pull will more than make up for it.
Should make great power on pump gas (~36-38lbs/min) and won't max out the 650 injectors at the Fit's base pressure. Will you be running an adjustable pressure regulator and converting to a return-style fuel system?

Yes we made a jig for the manifold for further sale of kits or turbo maifolds

Cylinders need to be paired properly with the divided scroll housing, but beyond that there shouldn't be much difficulty even with equal length runners. Turbine scroll would tuck nicely up against the block and above the CV-shaft loop
And the IX turbo (reverse rotation) has the down-firing cover and the WG actuator would point straight down as well. Mount the compressor towards the passenger side and the downpipe would aim nicely towards where the stock exhaust runs.
And with 40lbs/min on tap, you would likely never need to upgrade.

Using factory fuel system just with an upgraded pump and injectors
Email me if you are interested on a price on the kit shawn@rameybuilt.com

how much boost was that tuned for? what size injectors?
does the fuel pump drop in like an old civic?

Yeah I have to upload it.
7.5 psi 650cc injectors, fuel pump was not a drop in we had to modify the cage

Not sure on the fuel pressure, whatever factory is. It has an internal regulator in the cage. Duty cycle was 43 percent if i remember correctly. All stock fuel system aside from injectors and pump.
