but the k sounds sooo good and looks good too. not to mention the same power but an NA rating. either way the fit is awesome

 

k series makes more sense....and it looks like it belongs in there...put a k20z3 with bolt on's and you have 200whp+ with stock reliability and great fuel mileage

 

either way is cool. but saying you got a fully built L15 sounds pretty badass.

 

its nice to have a K20a2/a3/z1, but the money you going to spend on the swap might as well buy the SI...

 

I agree. I've been debating this since I bought my Fit. The only way i'd think it'd be worth it is if someone already had a shit ton of miles on their fit and came into a good price on a k20 engine.


I don't think you'll get the swap project done for less than $6k

so (average)

Honda fit Base $15K
Honda fit Sport $16K

Add that $6k project and you're in the si realm....

I don't doubt the awesomeness, but I'd like to drive my fit before I change the whole idea of the car.

I like this project anyways....actually taking the L engine somewhere....even if some people still think it's "not fast enough"

 

and plus the car is still brand new here, give it more time it will be just as quick if not quicker then the D series...

 

i say either way i rather have a K20z3 motor in my Fit than buying a Si why? cuss everything about the FIT is way better than the Si =P plus when people see a Si they know theres a k20 in there already but if you have a Fit spanking Si and RSX theyll poop in their pants =P but overall havin a fully built L15 motor is a dream too =D especially when i know hes gonna be BOOSTING... fully built L15 and its BOOSTED you can go wrong with taht =P

 

how much did it run you after you were done wit everything?

 

no idea, all in all there is about $20,000 in upgrades in the car.

 

not to bad. you should try running a k20 fit. see if you can take him

 

which ems did you use???? thanks

 

HKS F-con.

 

soon enough!

 

does anyone know how much the stock engine can handle boost and pressure -wise before you should start building internals?

 

i think its 10 - 12 psi

 

I wouldnt go more than 10 psi on stock internals.

 

damn 10psi? mine is NA but i wouldn't plan on giving the stock components more than 5-7psi. but then again, i'm a wuss when it comes to these things.

 

i think a lil more then that, because if im not mistaken the Skunk2 Fit is making 14 psi on stock internal ( i think)

 

lol look what happened to Josh's Fit at 10. Is that skunk still running on 14?

 

i was on 10 - 11 psi DAILY then after 20 thousand miles it let go, so yea 10 psi driving like a regular person is FINE.
