Axion Fit Project -TSX and RSX Engine Swap Test Fitting
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
Though we are installing an L15B7 into our 3rd gen Honda Fit, that isn't the only engine swap choice for the car. For some Honda owners the newer Civics are too big and many believe the spirit of the older Civic lives in the entry level Fit. There are several of these third-gen Fits driving around with K-series engine swaps including Spoon's Type R swapped GK Fit.
Fit fans (#fitgang), Michael Hinton of Axion Industries and Brian Hasty of Fastbrakes join me as we show you what's involved in bolting in the TSX K24A2 and the RSX K20A2 engines. After all, there is a lot of horsepower to be made with the K-series engine and they are available everywhere.

I've been asking around for K swap or L15B7 swap harness information for months, and nobody has been able or willing to tell me anything. I really hope you guys can make it happen, and make it available, especially for the turbo engine- I can do most of the other stuff at home, but figuring out the wiring diagram is beyond my talents.

I still haven't built the L15 swap harness for this car. I'll do that soon. I haven't done a K24 swap in that car, other than developing the mounts. So that wiring I haven't looked at either. I know some people who have done the swap in the 2015 CRZ which has similar wiring. Their cars were race cars so they converted the wiring to the 2006-2011 Civic style though so they could use the older engines. So that doesn't help either.

Very interesting. I am from South Africa and I have been doing research on K - swopping my honda Jazz/fit GK5 2015 model which I am assuming is similar to the one in this video. There are no GK5 fits in our area therefore, i have to rely on my research with limited experience. I am very much interested in the suitable motor and engine mounts for this vehicle. I heard you mention the 2012 SI engine should be a perfect fit and the bonus would be the wiring, which most of the components of the fit would be compatible. Have you done the 2012 SI engine fit already with the suitable mounts? I am leaning towards a k24 a2/3 from an accord however this video has sparked my interest, especially reference being made to the 2012 SI k - series. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

How does the size of the L15B7 compare to the K20/24? I'm trying to decide which I want in my GE fit. The K's seem big enough to get in the way of regular maintenance. Wondering if the L15 is smaller.

with L15B the tuning potential is less.You will be limited to may be 300 hp. The k series can go to 400-500 easy.and aftermarket support is enormous. Also the new l15B uses Bosh ECU's.Good luck with the wiring

@@A.QPerformance For a track car Fit, 200-250 is plenty. Enough to make you the fastest car at the track day. 400-500 on a FWD car is just silly numbers. Nice to brag about but not really usable. It's good for dyno numbers and maybe some drag runs. If I did K I'd just leave it stock. Reliability is the most important thing for a track car. I don't expect the wiring to be any worse for K into Fit than L into fit. It's still canbus and would require a translator to make the dash function. The one bad thing about the L is that documentation is hard to come by. I'm leaning towards the K but checking my options.

Is it possible to completely close the hood on an eg with a k24 and rbc intake, using egk2 mounts on the higher setting?!?
@VTECAcademy
@VTECAcademy 3 года назад
Nope. The manifold sits too high. You might be able to do it if you plug the bracket booster fitting and move it, and cut some of the hood understructure. I may have to try that.

@VTECAcademy
@VTECAcademy 3 года назад
@@wynwyn1941 That's unfortunate they went after him, but I'm sure it has to do with his high-profile association on RU-vid and not selling ECUs with the proper warnings about off-road use only. If you go to the Hondata or KTuner websites there are pretty explicit warnings about using their products on street cars. There have been a bunch of lawsuits against tuners with a heavy social media presence recently specifically to make a point with people who are modifying street-driven vehicles. Our Fit will pass federal emissions properly when done.
