Yeah, but imagine how light the insight would be if you stripped out all of the batteries etc...
Not to mention the VERY low drag coefficient...

I'm putting a K20 in my Insight. I'm not sure the H22A will fit. The engine bay seems wide enough but not long enough. It would probably require a custom intake manifold. The whole structure will require a lot of strengthening too. It's pretty wimpy.

I've been doing a little research, and I'm not sure the H22A will fit. The engine bay seems wide enough but not long enough. It would probably require a custom intake manifold. The whole structure will require a lot of strengthening too. It's pretty wimpy.

You 'll also have to do some sort of knuckle and hub conversion. The stock hub uses a very small spindle. The last problem is the front track is about 56.5" so custom axles will also be needed.

Man that is so sick. I have been dreaming of full draging a insight since I first saw them. If anyone can do it I figured it would be hasport. Good luck!!! I cant wait to see the outcome. What is the weight on the insight?
