Paul, great introduction video. Here a few tidbits of info that may find helpful. 1.CANBUS comms errors exist because the cluster and ecu operate using different coding. Unfortunately the TSX ecu doesn't communicate perfectly. There really isnt an OEM ecu solution that works for this swap and will require something with modified base coding. We are working with Brian G and Ktuner for a solution ecu. 2. Fit ecus can run Kseries engines but they lack VTC control output. If a person wanted to eliminate VTC this could be a good option. 3. The Autel MaxiSys scan tools work to program immobilzers and are far more affordable and attainable than the snapon modus scanners
I just watched your video and the first thing that came to mind was Seamus! I reached out to him for advice since he has a couple k swapped fits. He mentioned the instrument cluster coms issues. He is super knowledgeable.
Paul hopefully you follow through with more how to videos. I'm glad this chassis is starting to grab the attention and you are a godsend for trying to guide people in the right direction. You could spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars going down the wrong path. Between Seamus's advice and your videos, doing my swap will become a reality. I dont know how many k-swapped GD3s are in PA but ide like to complete mine some time this year. Thanks for the information and videos!!
in the UK the model after the ep3 type r we had was the civic fn2 which is a k20 powered civic hatch the header from that fits on the jazz so you just need to fabricate back from there
My 09 sport is still running strong. When the L15 gives up the ghost I am going to K swap. Don't plan on a crazy motor, just a stock K20 from a CRV or something like you said. Sourcing parts and thinking things through until the day comes.
Fantastic job especially for a first video! Love this so much! The AC issue has been my biggest draw back. I know Steve was going to use some ARC parts on his, so really excited to see what you come up with! Equally as excited about the cheaper motor options. I’ve always just wanted the A3, as if the fit was an actual 07 car it probably would’ve come with it, atleast in an option/trim. Can’t wait to see more videos!
Hey Paul, I've had this swap in the back of my mind for awhile and I'm glad to hear you found a single-ECU solution. Please keep us in the know if you figure out that budget swap that would utilize the stock Fit ECU. That's pretty great that the TSX is so close ECU and axle-wise.
Good Job Paul can't wait to see this done. There's this guy close to me selling a fit shell. Cops don't even notice them on the road. i have a few k swaps laying around...
Glad I came across your video. Got bit by the K series bug ever since I started working at the Honda dealership. One of my coworkers got a blown K from a type R and he's going to put it in his EK. I have a 2015 Fit and I'm Piecing together a K series. I have a K24A1 block I found locally on Facebook marketplace. Thanks for the info and I'll sub your channel.
Hey, I’ve just found your video. I’m in 🇬🇧 uk. Looking to do the same. As you rightly said, I have companies here who have blown me off to. I know it works but it’s so difficult to narrow down what I actually need so your video and website is really helpful. It at least a gives a good base to help us do it here. Obviously there is differences but your info helps us narrow down the parts we need this end.
is cause of the eld you have to run two ecu's . one to run the engine and the other to run the gauges. Hasport and k-tuned finally has products to make it easier. I didnt know the headers would be a tight fit from k24. Thanks for the info.
Why is it so hard to find a 07/08 TSX K24 to 07 GD3? I'd love to do this swap but thought there'd be a plug and play out there. Not saying that I can't wire a harness myself, but doing it right I'd go too far buying stuff lol. Do you have any idea where I could purchase such?
HI Paul. I am a late Fit bloomer, just returned back to the states. I am thinking on aK20Z3 swap. The only reason is that I have one here that is in great condition. My Fit is also, with minor dings. (An '07) My second thought, a bit more fun...is looking at making it AWD, using the older CR-V diff and such. Do you have...or can you direct me to more updated swap do's and can't do's? Thx!
How much do these swaps usually cost if you have a fit already and do everything myself. Basically a rough estimate of parts amount. I have a 2009 honda fit S
The you tube algorithm is insane! My wife's fit engine just took a dump and I was looking into swap options and this shows up. Great content man. There is an acura rsx at my local junk yard. If I get that engine and trans, do I also need the cpu or would I need to get the txs one? I want to take the opportunity and make this k20 happen. Thanks
Hi I traded my GD auto fit for a 5 speed GE fit. I did this trade because I am getting ready for k24 swapping the 5 speed GE fit. please tell me I didn't mess up. Would he GE be the same as the GD for k24 swap???
I'm going to vlog my kswap on my 2009 honda fit ge8 soon. So far I have the motor and trans (k24z2 with a PNN3 Si trans) and HAsport motor mounts. Really want to see how you did the shifter cable and stock rsx/civic so axles with bolt on?!?
Hey looking forward to watching the rest of this series! I'm looking into buying a 2nd gen Fit, and I guess my only real question is why the K20 over the K24?
Good stuff! My '08 Head needs to be replaced... so debating doing the head replacement, vs replacing the motor with a JDM pull, vs doing a K20/K24 swap ;)
Me and my girl are trying to k swap our 2013 Fit ,not trying to break the bank either , I know but the engine can be a bit expensive but overall how much did you spend to get the swap ,?the way you break it down sounds inexpensive and not complicated like everyone else makes it seem , would love to know more about this Fit monster ,
It cost me a lot more because I had a lot of trial and error finding the parts that worked. Not including engine maintenance, fluids, etc my cost for actual parts including the header was just over $4k.
@@pbomers I'm using a 2005 civic si k20 with no electric throttle pedal and I have a k pro v4 I even have the wiring diagram for both the 08 fit and 05 si
kevin naidoo For Jazz specific swap questions your best bet is joining the FB group I mention in the description. Tons of great people in the group with swapped Jazz’s.

Seamus Erskine You rock, thanks for the info and help!!!
I just watched your video and the first thing that came to mind was Seamus! I reached out to him for advice since he has a couple k swapped fits. He mentioned the instrument cluster coms issues. He is super knowledgeable.
So if you get an aftermarket cam and do a vtec delete, there’s no reason you can’t run a chipped fit ecu ?
Dude I’m so excited to finally see someone making videos about modifying fits let alone k swap videos thank you for making my day

How much would you charge if I brought you the engine, trans, axles, and we intend to dual-boot ECU’s?
this was a genuine video, no bs or phony personality.
Have any updates on the k swap fit?
Just picked up an Australian GD3 1.5 and would love to see a K24 in it 👌 definitely following this!
You're taking your time with those other videos! I keep checking back. Very interesting. I want to do this swap using a K24 with K20 head.
in the UK the model after the ep3 type r we had was the civic fn2 which is a k20 powered civic hatch the header from that fits on the jazz so you just need to fabricate back from there
Hey info on this? I'm hoping to swap into a 2015+ Jazz

Nice one Paul. Well done, great video good production and sound and useful information. Keep them coming.
Can’t wait to see the next video! Awesome first video!
Your Rad Paul!
Tell us which engine/trans you chose and it's pros/cons over other K-series motors.

I’m exited to see where this swap and video series goes. Great work :)
any updates coming Paul? very interesting!
Any new vids coming out
Have 07 fit sport 5speed
Excited for the next vid! I’ve been wanting to do this to my fit for a while now. Keep up the great work!

Great video. But where are the updated videos?
You ever get information on available swap headers? Looking to gather everything and do a build but didn’t see any swap headers.
Anxious to see where this goes.
Why is it so hard to find a 07/08 TSX K24 to 07 GD3? I'd love to do this swap but thought there'd be a plug and play out there. Not saying that I can't wire a harness myself, but doing it right I'd go too far buying stuff lol. Do you have any idea where I could purchase such?
Nice video👍
Paul, where I can find a diy/write up for a second generation ge8 (2009-2012) kswap. Thanks
Irvin Figueroa Wish I knew more about swapping that generation to help, sorry.
Thanks for the shoutout!
I picked up an element that I’m planning on swapping the entire drivetrain into a 2009 Fit I just bought. Gearing up for a lot of fab work.
RatchetWerks Garage are you trying to make it awd???
Nic Laughlin yep! Shouldn’t be too hard since they made a model that came in 4wd in Japan. The driveline tunnel is already there.
Great Video Amigo, will be following please shows lots of video/pics of the actual parts as u talk about it. Glad some one is finally doing this !!
Jazz ecu with accord k24 engine! ? That's would be unreal..wondering if even possible
I think. I would just get a Aem/haltec if I were doing this swap
Can’t you run a kpro to fix the dash problem?
Ever going to continue this series?
Please please post a follow up video bc im looking to swap my gd3.
Coming soon, I promise!
So I guess no new video huh
Amazing video bro! I have a 2011 and want to get an vtec motor for it any leads?

subscribed. hoping to see a budget k-swapped Fit.
Which ep3 ac line do i need to buy for running ac in fit？I read your website but i dont know which one to order.
good video dude and thanks for the shout out
Have you come up with the wiring video yet?
Love the video and let us know about anything for gk5 Fit
Which k20 did you use?
How much do these swaps usually cost if you have a fit already and do everything myself. Basically a rough estimate of parts amount. I have a 2009 honda fit S
any chance were getting a part 2?
I’m trying to swap my 11 fit but I have no clue where to even start
The you tube algorithm is insane! My wife's fit engine just took a dump and I was looking into swap options and this shows up. Great content man. There is an acura rsx at my local junk yard. If I get that engine and trans, do I also need the cpu or would I need to get the txs one? I want to take the opportunity and make this k20 happen. Thanks
Please make another video. 222k on mine. I'm thinking auto trans what do you think?
Hi I traded my GD auto fit for a 5 speed GE fit. I did this trade because I am getting ready for k24 swapping the 5 speed GE fit. please tell me I didn't mess up. Would he GE be the same as the GD for k24 swap???
did you do a rear brake disc conversion??
Need the next video boss, I just bought a fit. Keep it up
What axle size are you running?
Base rsx axles
Dope! Plan on doing this swap with my fit in the future
I'm going to vlog my kswap on my 2009 honda fit ge8 soon. So far I have the motor and trans (k24z2 with a PNN3 Si trans) and HAsport motor mounts. Really want to see how you did the shifter cable and stock rsx/civic so axles with bolt on?!?
Khampasit Maneesang Awesome, can’t wait to watch it! I’m working on the axle and shifter cables videos now, should be out soon.
Paul Bomers ....desperately waiting on this project Ge8 Kswap !!
Very informative! Keep the videos coming!
Awesome! Only reason I got my Fit 07 when they started to sell them was to do this! No where as simple as an eg civic with a b-series swap
Hey looking forward to watching the rest of this series! I'm looking into buying a 2nd gen Fit, and I guess my only real question is why the K20 over the K24?
I actually went with the K24. I think it really depends on what your goals are and what you're going to use the car for. Both have advantages.
What happened? Did you give up on your UA-cam Channel?
Great vid mate. Technical question for you; did your wife make you add the text-based shout out to her?
Haha, nope. Added it on my own. Happy wife, happy life.
Good stuff! My '08 Head needs to be replaced... so debating doing the head replacement, vs replacing the motor with a JDM pull, vs doing a K20/K24 swap ;)
Lmao im in the same boat.
Interested putting j32a3 acura motor and tl trans what do you think?
I had this thought but i figured the engine is too big
Me and my girl are trying to k swap our 2013 Fit ,not trying to break the bank either , I know but the engine can be a bit expensive but overall how much did you spend to get the swap ,?the way you break it down sounds inexpensive and not complicated like everyone else makes it seem , would love to know more about this Fit monster ,

How much cost you
I want to swap my 09 fit sport with a K24
Keep them coming man.
How much to do my fit ?
Is possible to do a parts list video!!!!
Totally, I’ve got a pretty solid list together. I’ll post it up.
Such a shame no more videos after the wiring.
How can I leave my car stop by make a little faster
Hi. Are you able to provide a list of items needed ?
Working on a list right now. Are you thinking about swapping a Fit or Jazz?
Hey sir did u ever a. Make a list I have 2007 Honda Fit I’m looking to swap this I really look up to ur build
@@pbomers Yes I am,
hello im doing a 2008 fit k20 swap and i really need help with the wiring in going really crazy can you please help
Jose Lima What motor, transmission, engine wiring harness are you using?
@@pbomers I'm using a 2005 civic si k20 with no electric throttle pedal and I have a k pro v4 I even have the wiring diagram for both the 08 fit and 05 si
which cv joint can i use for 2010???
Can’t say for sure as I’ve only swapped the 07-08, but I believe RSX axles will work on the 09+ too.
Do u have IG?
How can we contact you looking into kswap my jazz
kevin naidoo For Jazz specific swap questions your best bet is joining the FB group I mention in the description. Tons of great people in the group with swapped Jazz’s.
Has anyone tried a b16b or b18c swap?
With ecu go with a stand alone ecu /pdm
What happened w the other videos
They are posted on the channel. 👍🏻
$?
What camera is this ?
ThatDesertGuy Sony A7iii and the 28mm f2 lens.
Paul Bomers 👍 nice, thanks man
...having a ge8 I'm still in limbo on swapping in k without translating to thai
I just finished doing a GE8 K-swap
Karan Malik
Hi, where can I get info/ guide gor a Ge8 swap? Appreciate it Karan😊
????? my Jazz is drive by wire, not cable!!!!!!!!!!!!
What year do you have? The older ones were cable
mi sueño es cambiar el motor de mi auto, espero poder lograrlo
