just a question. i did search and i didn't find anything. i just wanted to know if it was at all possible. and if so, would there be any room for anything else afterwards?
thank you.


flame away.

 

there was a pic of one on fitfreak that had a B16 and turbo'd, looked hot if ya ask me.

 

I Have seen K-series in FIT, B wont be a problem

 

just a hunch but may have to due with having more power then our stock motors do, but hey that's just a hunch.

because not everyone has 11k to but a K motor in
and because the L15's suck. a lot.

 

Anything is possible, but it would be problematic.

First, any B16 will be older than the car, so you'd likely have problems with inspections or smog checks in some states (like CA).

Also, the B16 rotates the opposite direction from later K-series and L-series engines, and its intake and exhaust sides are opposite. This means you'd have a couple of options:

Install a b-series engine/trans with the transmission on the opposite side of the car (passenger's side). This would require some custom fabrication for at least the shift linkage and clutch... and probably more. Another problem here is the crossmember behind the and below the engine in the Fit. Routing the b-series exhaust around it would be difficult because b-series headers pass below the oil pan.

Install a b-series engine/trans with the trans oriented the same way as the stock Fit. This would also require custom fabrication for at least the shift linkage and clutch if it would work at all. It might make exhaust routing easier, but an intake manifold might not fit, and it might be nearly impossible to connect linkages to the transmission.

So... if you really want to do a swap, I think you're better off with a k-series. Kits are in the works for k-series swaps, and you'll avoid lots of problems you will encounter with a b-series.

So, you'd spend $5k (conservatively) to put an 8 year-old, god-only-knows-the-mileage engine into a brand-new, warrantied car, which would run low 15's if you didn't turbo it???

And as stated earlier, backdating engines is not smog legal in a lot of places.

 

all this would happen after the warranty. shouldn't that be a given. and i know they K and B spin in opposite directions.
but if you read the top, just a question. but thank you for answering it

 

yes the B series and the K series swaps have been done.....the Fits been out for a few years overseas so the JDM market has done some of these already

as for the L15 sucking.... stock its not at all thrilling....although i have riden in the Jackson Racing supercharged fit.....L15 with S/C making b16 numbers.....very very fast and fun...should be out early 07

Please post pics or links of a b or k swapped Fit in Japan. I am definitely interested becasue I have only seen bolt on turbos here.

 

there's a link to the B16 fit in the "post your fit" thread.

^^^
click or Copy/paste in URL bar....K20 Fit.....and yes its a JDM Fit (right hand drive)

still trying to find the b series fit.....

 

found it.....enjoy.

 

Thanks for the pic. That is the Fit in Thailand right?

 

i would put a k24 in that suka.

 

wouldn't that be too big?
k24=2.4L? L15=1.5L?

 

daym...thats a tight fit for the b.

 

intake manifold doesn't look like b16a ... looks b18c

 

GSR. i didn't even notice that til you pointed it out.

 

oh **** and hes got that mad jdm chrome windshield wiper

 

What about an H22 ?
