OK so for those of u who is considering to make ur fit go super fast...but have mix feelings between K20 or Boost L15...
well look at this VID and i am sure it will turn u in putting K20 in ur fit and then add a SC to it !
YouTube - lotus elise k20a engine swap

HOLY Sh*t is all i can say..but looks like it's hard to handle ....look at how much he's kicking out..and look at how tough it is for DRIFT KING to drive it..

 

except the lotus is lighter and mid engine/rwd.


awesome video though.

 

considering the handful people who swapped k20 or k24 into the older hatches.. and still trackable. i'd consider the Fit is a good candidate for the swap.

 

supposedly the lotus is already an unforgiving car at its limits (even with it's stock motor). so it makes sense that a k20 in it will make the rear even more prone to throwing itself out.

 

the fit weights about as much as the rsx so why not just get an rsx-s?

 

Yeah thats probably the most sensible way to go. But wheres the fun in that =].LOL

 

Makes you wish all the more that Honda would make an affordable RWD car.

 

most mid eng rwd cars have a tendency to not want to let the back end slide around like a front engine because thats where the weight is and they put it there to make the car less likely to spin out but the prob is weight transfer. There is really not much weight on the front of mid eng cars so grip tends to want to react a little late but since there is more grip and weight on the rear than in a normal rwd car the limits can be pushed a lil further. But the wheel base is short and the power that car make for it to be so light short and small would take so getting use to for somebody who is use to letting weight transfer a slipage aid in his cornering. Plus the extra power prolly has through the over all balance off to

 

cuz ppl buy the fit cuz it can carry a sh*t load of stuff....
so being able to carry alot of things + Fast.. = Fit + K20 :)

 

In a nut shell take a car setup thats normally real grippy, and some extra weight, more power to it than put a driver in it thats use to letting the back end hang out and you get a car that wants to countersteer a lil to much. But to me he seemed to do a real good job and the car still seem to want to carve well all in all looks fun to drive and cars are starting to lose that feeling now days

 

Because it has more doors better cargo space MAGIC SEATS, and just does not look like something fast Can you say sleeper
