the AT mounts are completely different then MT, thats why Innovative sells MT specific kit for MT cars
Hasport mounts are for MT only
Hasport engine harness is way too expensive $1400usd in labour + $200 for RSX Harness + $200 for MT Fit Harness
so here is my solution
Hybird Racing Universal Race harness + RSX Type S engine harness, FORGET about stock cluster...i am going with RacePack IQ3 digital cluster.
it will look cool and will be cheaper !

Well if he is going to be K swapped and making the conversion to RacePack he would probably just wire the switches up directly to power and ground instead of letting the no-longer existent computer get involved.
But this is just a guess.

I have no idea why they tell you the AT cannot do the SWAP!! I think I'm the first one did that and it been running well past 2 years!!!
I'm surprise you can find the space for the turbo, I don't know where you going to put the intercooler and other stuff. I cannot wait to see the final product!!! If you can do it, I don't think I'm going for the Supercharger.

i m not sure if it's first or last...lol
my car is AT...it is way more complicated then MT chassis, i am trying to make it easiest possible by by passing alot of the OEM stuff....like the cluster...cruise control will be control by a seperate wireing harness out from K-pro, as well as AC.....hope it will work !

Wrong ...hasport sells MOUNT ADAPTER that u bolt on Using ur Oem mounts n the AT OEM mounts are different on the tranny side and the frame of the car is different too so u gota basicly make another mount to mount the MT rubber mount then u can use the hasport kswap mounts for ur kswap ....get it ???
I just dont seem to be getting it but if you got the Hasport engine mounts for a K20 wouldn't they replace the stock L15 engine mounts. So I dont really see why It would matter if the car was MT or AT from the getgo.
Do you guys really think a 300whp NA K20 would be alot for the engine? If I go the K route I was thinking of keeping it NA for simpisity and would like to see 250-300whp. The engine stock makes 200whp and I dint think it would be that hard to extrack another 50-100whp.

MNFit you have to weld the OEM tran. mount on the AT chassis to get the hasport mount work. You just need to measure where the MT fit Tran. mount located and mark it than weld it!!!

I just have no idea how you get the intercooler in front of the car. You will block the fan to get the air to cool down your car then get over heat!!

Worst case scenario he can mount a 12v slim fan or two on the charge cooler. I would be willing to bet the stock fans on a nice core can hold a sheet of paper to the grille through the IC on a proper set up.
I have on one of my cars a 30"x12"x3" intercooler, with a power steering and external oil cooler sandwiched between the IC and an oversized aftermarket rad for my fans to pull air through, but with all the stock shrouding retained I have no problems sitting in traffic or making WOT pulls with my coolant temps below 210* even on the hottest days.
To be fair I have a switched 7" fan on the external oil cooler, but I never turn it on, because I haven't needed to it was more of an insurance thing.
I would imagine Felix would have noticed any overheating being a problem were it the case, he does have a Skyline from what I have gathered, and I would wager he has a FMIC on that as well.

Thats not necessarily true, especially with the stock shroud and ducting in tact.

lol
btw: as for the Fit, i am doing custom rad support (tube frame), single side rad should be enough !

Oh very nice.. is the bell horn v-band/wiggins clamped on the inducer?
Now I know why they dinged you $2.5k for a manifold fab... that sucker has to support ~35lbs of turbo haha
What compressor is that? Looks like a Garrett GT40R/GT42R or a BorgWarner S400? Thats gotta be at least a 75-80mm inducer!
