Eeeh ya true, but a B20 > tuned S2K. What more do you think can a K20? I'm more of the "BUILT not bought" person and the "Horspower sells cars and Torque wins races. But again I respect each other's IMO.

 

So your gonna build up a L Series huh? . Doing a swap can be considered building the car if your doing the work yourself.

 

Oh I hope not!
Tuners are having trouble keeping internal modifications on the L15 from becoming external..if you catch my drift.

 

If the "crack addicts" as you refer to them, knew how to stop, there would be no "automotive industry". In fact, there would be no Honda Motor Company. Something for you to chew on...

The point of modifying a vehicle is simple. You do it because your vehicle is an extension of who you are. Don't like the way your stock audio sounds? You go buy an aftermarket headunit. Suspension and body roll a little much for you? You lower it and add roll bars. Want a vehicle with a very high power-to-weight ratio, but hate the idea of forced induction or nitrous oxide? Then you swap a more powerful engine into a smaller car. As was pointed out, this is nothing new. The first guys out in California who figured out they could swap the higher output, and much sportier Acura components, including engines, into their ED and EF chassis Hondas, were the same ones breaking records and paving the way for vehicles like the Fit and my 06 Civic Si in the American market.

You don't have to understand why people swap engines, or why they even choose to modify cars. Just know that they do, and they're the "crack addicts" fueling and innovating throughout this industry while the rest of you play it safe due to...well...."logical" restraints. If this industry and this hobby is anything, it's for damn sure not "logical".

 

Yeah kinda what i was poking at. The L15 is not a race engine, it was not built to withstand internal modification.

 

Technicaly motor swaping goes back to the muscle car era. But i like how you worded this. So ill drink to that... when i get off work that is.

 

here is wat would make u change your mind hahah

Probably... Hatas ftw

 

I never really did say I was gonna build something with the L series though. Yeeeah, I do know that.

 

its jsut so not worth it right now for the $ to put a k20 is a fit, its costing at least $9000+ to do it in a civic i cant imagine the mods you would need to do

 

I'd say minimally 6K! I do the work myself!

 

Where are the mounts?!?!

 

built not bought

 

As stated before if you do the swap yourself.. its technically building.... the L15 is not a capable motor. If it ever sees 240hp ill be impressed.

 

since its a tough job swapping in a B series n gettign it running, how abt a simpler L series built up swap?

is there any potiental in building up a L15 n dropping into the Fit?

 

not much. B series is better for a civic/integra seriously

 

holy thread revival batman!

 

hahah no crap man

 

ok man im reviving this thread cuz i think there are still broke dudes like me that wana go fast and will find a way with "alternative" setups. i think a b18 swap from a gsr would make these cars pretty fun to drive. i dont wana blow everyones doors off, but i think the auto-x possibilities would be sick.

WHY WONT THE B SERIES WORK?

 

it does not work for several reasons.
one its illegal.
two the wiring.
three too much money for something retarded
