The only thing that keeps me from hating you with every jealous fiber of my being is the fact that,
A You have done almost all the work yourself
B This isn't a check-book car (although I'm sure your checkbook is weeping right now)
C You'll probably eclipse the first K20 Fit for sheer bad-assed-ness without breaking a sweat
An all-nighter to assemble the motor just for us unworthy skulkers to boot? I want to drive to F L A just to ride in this thing when its done BTW....

 

My pants just got tighter

Seriously tho, that puts the Gangster in GD3. I hope the notching doesn't weaken the cylinder walls in any way. I wouldn't think it would but when you squeeze boost in a lil motor it adds stress, as you already are aware of. Are you a tech or are you just pulln and go with a helms manual?

 

this is probly my 10th home swap, im an ASE tech and have been for about 5 years, so i know what im doing, lol




ok just came on line to check a torque spec, now off to mount the trans and hopfully get this thing running tonight

 

Post start up vids!!!!

 

ok really quick up date the motor and trans are togather and the wire harness is on and well...... were ready to put the motor in, stay tuned for up dates on the fitfreakk.net live engine swap.

 

Im so excited!!!!!

 

shoulda setup a web cam
how far in the hole are the pistons?

 

damn it, theres no internet at my GF's apt. And im going to be there all weekend again. I may have to see the results monday. noooo!

 

Oh quit complaining. My GF is gone for the weekend. I'm bored.

also, HURRY THE HELL UP! I WANNA SEE SOME VIDS!

 

so who made the rods and pistons? what do you think your c/r will be? or did i read something wrong..

 

very promising. When this is all done can you do a parts list please and reiterate all work performed. Gonna print this out and take it to my local speed shop and say "Do THIS!"

 

HAHA. we need a DIY!

 

SO SICK!!! i cant wait.

 

what does having a 200whp car have to do with being light?

 

well the k20 makes the fit nose heavy.. with a 200hp built fit motor the weight is still kept fairly even.

 

sell identical crate motors? lol i'll pick one up from you

 

Ploppin a "big block" honda 4 banger is a definite change. Try driving an H22 eg hatchback through twisties. You pretty much AIM the front wheels, and it draggs the ass around, and sometimes it hops off the ground so fast you leave a turn with the rear end pointing forward. The F/R weight balance is totally f'd, its stupid fun though.

 

i don't think it will effect that much if you get some really sticky tires (NT01 or A048) and proper suspension tuning....i am sure these will take care of the understeering problem

 

its alive!!!!
