I took what is probably the last photo of both of these cars together before the GE gets replaced.

Oh I'm sure I'll stick around here. (And a GK is one of the three finalists to replace the GE)

Its a picture of Joe Biden eating ice cream.

Spring wash for the Fit today!


And about 300 rock chips repaired on the hood. Every year, there seems to be more and more... Very time consuming. I'm starting to think that the hood is a maintenance part on that car!

Today,

I am researching on how to legalized engine swap in California, and to my surprise, it is not that hard !!!


The engine just have to come from same class (ie passenger car), same or newer year.


I think the K20C from Honda Accord with Automatic Transmission (same engine as the current (new) Honda Civic Type R) is the perfect modern engine for the swap and meet all the legal requirements.


I am now researching to see if there is enough space in GE engine bay for the K20C. This will be a good project

Hello Ryu,
sorry but I don't understand what you mean by L15 from the new type R,
Do you mean the L15B7 engine in the Civic Si or Honda Accord?


Anyway, if it is still an L15, I don't feel it is worth the effort to do an engine swap, I might just get the J's Racing adapter so I can use the HKS Supercharger kit for CR-Z on the current Honda Fit GE engine.

Also,

If I am doing an engine swap, the engine have to be special enough to make me willing to do it ,

and have the potential to have high horsepower in stock trim so it is going to be reliable for another 200,000 miles for Return on Investment, plus it have to come from 2013 or younger year so it will meet the California engine swap rules. The Civic Type R/Accord K20C meet all the above,...

The latest Civic Type R engine code name is K20C1, because it is a 2 liter engine not L15 (1.5 liter engine)
