motor swaps
im going to get a fit, and the 109 horse power isnt going to cut it, i was wondering what motors fit? i got a k20R at my shop but i want to see what else fits and what i need to do the swap. thanks!

k20z3 is from the 03-05 civic Si hatch right? Don't do that. K20a2 from rsx type-s is the best unless you're baller and go k20a jdm integra type R motor. Or go crazy with a k24. Or k20 head, k24 block

no the axles arent the same. what you need is
k20 engine and transmission
kpro engine management
wiring harness
engine mounts
axles
its alot of work and its going to get VERY pricey. do your research. there are a few threads here documenting peoples swaps. i suggest you read every page of every one of those threads before you ask another question. good luck man!

Since no one bothered to answer your main question, let me be the first. lol
Currently there are no hybrid engine swaps that will directly swap into the 2001-2008 Honda Fit, and in order to "jimmy" a K-Series engine into the GD chassis you're definitely looking at alot of time, effort, fabrication, and money spent.
You'll most definitely need to have the intake, exhaust, header, mounts, radiator, etc. either customized or fabricated in order for it to fit within the small engine bay, and if memory serves me you'll also need to customize the radiator support in order to house a larger engine, among other areas of the vehicle.

HELL NO! lol It's an economy vehicle that is meant to consume as little to no gas as possible.
With that said however, there are both Turbocharger (T1R or HKS) and Supercharger (Kraftwerks) kits currently on the market that can help make the vehicle alot more competitive yet entertaining.

well this is my first car. this is a daily from school, to home. i just want some, more power not going turbo, what if i do bolt ons? exhuast headers intake? the gd3 is a 07? and isnt it the L15? or is that the 09?

the gd3 has an l15a and the ge8 has an l15a7
full bolt ons will yield a maximum of 10-15hp and im talking full exhaust, intake, intake manifold, lighten crank pulley, and spark plugs...
i would say save up your money and get a supercharger since it will be good reliable bolt on power.
