V6 Honda Fit? Yes please!

http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-generation-ge-08-13/88052-v6-honda-fit-build.html Just came up on this. And before anybody trashes the idea of handling, remember that a FWD enjoys a forward balance.

I'm pretty sure I know what I'll be reading from start to finish tonight.

I think the K20Z1 would be my choice of Fit swap, personally, but there is certainly enough room in the engine bay for a lot of nefarious things.

I've always thought they should make a fit si. With the motor and 6 speed from the civic.

I imagine that changing the rear bank of sparkplugs would be a real treat.

Any J-swap that fits under the stock hood > any J-swap that doesn't fit under the stock hood.

Friend of mine has done that. Iirc its boosted now. Fast as hell.

In reply to nepa03focus:

Especially with the new 1.5L turbo civic base engine

New Civic 1.5T/cvt supposedly run mid 15s stock.

I followed that build on Honda Tech and quite enjoyed the end result.

That thing is such a freak. I love it, especially the picture where it looms menacingly inside the Honda dealership's room full of tires.

How much taller than a K20 is a K24? I assume about an inch. I would figure that anywhere the 2 liter fits, you could put a 2.4.

I am going to have to bookmark that uild for when I inherit SWMBO's Fit in a few years.
