ehhhhhhhhhhh. the k20 swap is VERY difficult *because it's not popular, yet* and pricey. if you have the bucks/skills to do that, the auto to manual swap shouldn't be too hard.

but IMO, it'd be much cheaper and easier to sell/trade in the fit and get a civic/civic sedan/rsx/ep3 that already has the k20 motor

If you're ripping out the L15, and replacing it with a k20, doing the auto to manual swap should be cake.

I hope you're not one of those people who asks questions like these with no intention of actually following through.

If we are talking like gobbs of stupid money other then the normal amount for the k swap in im wasting my time but if its really just cake then its going in. I just need someone to tell me what all is needed.

I asked the same question about a week ago and I realized what every one else is saying is right. For the price of this swap you can do 3 other things:
1. Pay off your car
2. Get the Kraftwerks high boost kit
3. Get the T1RS Turbo kit

With the last 2 you will get a good bump in HP. Hope that helps
