There seems to just be enough room in the back of that Fit for a K2x turbo swap. Now there's your sleeper.

plenty of room in the engine bay http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-p...-part-1-a.html

if i find a deal on a K2x then yes all bets are off. and the Fit is go. turbo will come later.

edit:On that note how hard is it to get a K20a3 up to par. i only ask because its alot cheaper then a k20a2

Does the fit really get crappy gas mileage?! My aunt returned her fit last week because it was only getting about 20mpg and got a civic hybrid.

The 1JZ's didn't come in American vehicles. Swapping that is not bad just mainly extending the wire harness.


I would go Turbo MK III supra with the stock 7M-GTE , but I guess im bias since thats what I drive .

Right but it still mounts up easier in the later mkiii from what i understand (could be wrong).

I love the MkIII, my only gripe is that im 6'5" and its a tight squeeze.

Your right, it's from 89 and up though.

Im 6'2'' and it's not bad, but also I sit close to the wheel.

If a MKII is better then that would be nice as well. With a 7M there pretty quick but I dont know what's involved swapping it in.
