Been driving my moms Fit around for running errands, same blue color and i have to say, nobody gives you any respect in that car, the moment the Fit drives 1 mile faster than the car next to me, the have to prove to me that they are superior, which i believe this would make.such an awesome sleeper.
Guys I love my fit but in Texas I go throught the same shit and it pisses me of we just gotta have. Patience. Guys ps I have 2007 fit stick first car stick car I ever had
How do you all enjoy your fits? I think they're ugly on the outside but they're so easy to drive and they can whip around corners like it's nobodies business. I really want to customize one to be very fast, responsive, and mean.
This is perfect for me. Thinking of doing a jdm type s k24 swap but couldnt find anyone doing the gd only the ge’s so to find you makes my day a little better knowing this 😅
I cant wait to k24 swap my fit its also the same color too🤟🏼 great videos man, keep up the good content cant wait to see you guys post more update on your guys build , thanks for all the tricks and tips👌🏼🙏🏼
My dad owns a fit and I drive it a lot. Would absolutely love to have a new motor in it. Of course though we got the engine warranty so if it does blow they probably will swap it with the exact same motor... I can dream though
Do you know of any good engine vendors in the USA? I’m trying to source a relatively low mileage kseries engine in the uk and they are seemingly very rare

Hi Kev, big fan of the channel and the details that you went into as far as the swap goes. Really gave me some insight on what needed to be done. Now I have a honda brio that I'm keen on doing the K-swap on ive seen alot of it being done in Thailand however cant seem to find any details on what needed to be done and what needed to be changed. Do you perhaps have any knowledge on K-swapped honda brios and what needed to be done and changed. They are basically the same as the honda fit/jazz
I know this is a very silly and basic question, but before i even attempt this i am trying to get a rough parts list to gauge pricing. Im considering either the acura engine or the k24z3 from an accord (not going be turboing it anyhow). You mentioned the engine and the transmission from a civic in other comments, are there any other bigger budget components you need to make it work? Very new to engine swapping 😅
Hello! I have a question and the internet doesn’t have the answer! I have a 2010 fit sport and I need to remove the 02 sensors. The downstream one I have unscrewed, but cannot find the electrical connector half. One forum said under center console but i took it out and nothing was there.
In terms of difficulty how bad is it swapping a K series into this fit? Im more familiar with K swaps on Miatas than I am on Fits. I love the hell out of mine but goddamn is it pain with the lack of power.
It is a how to video for people with previous Honda experience. This swap is not a for a new or first time Honda hobbyist. It definitely can be done by anyone but it may take a lot longer to complete
How long did it take to remove the engine? Planning on replacing my dying L15 on GD3 with a lower km engine. Do you think it's possible to do with some mechanical knowledge, but first time swapping engines? Thanks!
If your just swapping in a newer engine that’s the same. It shouldn’t be to bad. Being your first time swapping I’d give myself a weekend to complete it.
would a stock honda k24a3 engen and gear bock thats a auto/semiauto work? i dont want full auto and i dont want manul i like the feeling of the semiauto feels alot like a smash box
The engine will fit for sure. The transmission I’m not sure will fit. They are a lot bigger than a manual transmission. Also mounts would have to be custom made as there is only an option for manual trans at this time.
@@KevronsEye wow first UA-camr that’s ever responded to me... thanks. What about a k24 swap Honda CR-V? Has that been done? And is the Engins a different k24 on that?
Hey man I have a manual ge2 honda fit in midnight black I just wanted to ask to see if you knew any major difference in the engine bay and process to k swap it I found a warehouse not to far from me selling k20s for 500 bucks and I would love to kswap in the coming years also any good transmission swaps I should look into or Is a kseris the best
Couple quick questions. If I want to k swap a fit and want a manual. It's best to start off with a manual fit? Something about the underbody frame is different than auto? Also which transmission did you use? Can I use the RSX 6 speed?
There is something different between the auto and manual fits. You can use the RSX transmission I used the civic si transmission it’s the same as the RSX 6 speed but has factory LSD
Subscribed! In your opinion, how similar is this engine removal to a GE8? Mine just died and I'm going to take out the engine and replace it with another L15A7....until I buy a K20/K24

Yea you can definitely swap a base model. The sport model just has a few different things like rear spoiler, front bumper lip, side skirts. And Aluminum wheels. Other than that no real difference as far as the rest of the car
@@abepenner4714 um there's some info on the fit/jazz forum. I'm just going to attempt and b16b swap pretty soon when I have time .

I'm trying go the path of least resistance. There's a lot of k swapped fits here on UA-cam. Happy new year 🎉 a k series is out of my budget at the moment.
You can swap a GE8. But it requires a different mount kit from hasport and there is a different procedure on the engine bay and wiring. I’d love to get a GE next and do another Swap
Would you say the GD3 is a more accepting or easier starting chassis than the GE8? I’d love to swap my GE8 but GD3’s are a dime a dozen around here as well
It’s very similar but with 07-08 Honda fits the engine mounts are different. So you’d have to convert the mount system in the car to manual. Wiring would be another thing I’m unsure about
yijit ng I’m using a tsx engine and wiring, harness, ecu You can use other k series engines. But the fit and tsx wiring match up the best. So if you use a diff engine you may still have to use the tsx ecu as a base to tune off of that
rodrigof12 no the transmission is from an 06-11 civic si. The accord and tsx manual transmissions use a different mount. Witch is not offered yet from hasport. So you can use any k20 transmission but no k24 transmissions
