Glockbag's K20Z3 FIT SWAP PROJECT
Alright guys... its almost that time that I start on the K20z3 Fit swap project.
Things that are holding me back..
-I am still waiting on Hasport to get back to me about a harness
-Waiting for All-in-Fab to make a header
-Still need a fuel line from Hybrid
For those who don't know i bought my car back in '08 brand new with 6 miles! (hehe that was a good day) well 4 years, and 150k miles later, i now have a reason to replace the motor. Still runs great except.. clutch and throwout bearing is making weird sounds. Well anyway, since i'm not a higher roller i am doing the swap on my own with help of a couple friends. I couldn't believe how much help everyone offered when i simply asked nicely.
First i want to Thank Hybrid Racing, also my buddy Eric from eFab, k20a.org! you guys are awesome!, CPC powerdercoating, JCrim for Fitfreak.net. and AutoFair Honda for their awesome prices on parts!

All the photos are taken by me.. Enjoy!

What the deuce. For some reason links aren't working. I'm holding a mid-west Fit meet in Chicago on the 25th of August. You should come in K-powered monster and hang out with fellow K-swapped monster owned by MNFit.

1. welcome to the k24 family. im also waiting on brian for a harnes for my swap.

2. any chance i can have you make me a HR shifter while your at it. i would be more than happy to send you the shifter and payment via paypal for the work? or if you have extra brackets laying around you can sell me i can get them welded here.

3. I have the same mount set up as yours (hasport/innovative) and i have no clearance problems. when i put the motor back in ill take pictures, im running an 04 rsx tranny and k24 block maybe that is why?.

good luck bro.
