Anybody consider an R18 swap?
#22
So I've had my ge8 for a month and a day today, and although I'm not planning any mods until my warranty expires, i was talking to my cousin about engine swaps for my eg I'm planning on building now that the ge is my daily.
To cut my story short the idea of an R18 swapped Fit came up. I wasn't too keen on it since it's only rated around 140hp. But then we found this article by Full Race about their turbo kit for the R series:

I know I haven't been able to find much of anything regarding an R swapped ge8, so as of now, it would entail custom mounts, axles, so on and so forth...but it would be pretty damn interesting, wouldn't it?
Thoughts?
If you're gonna come on here and say "why bother, just go K" then don't waste your time. I've had that converation at length numerous times. Besides, innovation doesn't happen if we sit here and toss the same ideas around again and again. It's not like anyone has actually pulled the trigger on a k swap yet anyway...well not that I know of anyway.
