We Made the Fit Si That Honda Didn't and IT IS QUICK!

K24 Swapped GE Fit Road Tested
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
OK, last time we got our K24 Fit running, but it wasn't quite ready for the streets. But now it is. We built the rest of the exhaust with a build-it-yourself kit finished off with a KTuned muffler that sounds great. So how much better is it to drive now with a TSX K24 power plant? Brian takes it for a rip and tests the acceleration with our AIM Solo to compare it with our other project cars such as the K24 swapped 8th gen Civic and Project Dadmobile.

A K24 swapped Honda Fit!? Hahahahaha wow, now that's a sleeper, that is awesome!!! If I were to meet that car on the road, I wouldn't even be able to tell that it's been swapped. You guys always do some new and interesting things with HONDAS!!!!

[@VTECAcademy]

Right? With those wheels and at that ride height it is super sleeper. Even the exhaust is not over the top unless you’re getting on it.

[@hmmboost]

I think calling it a sleeper is giving it a bit too much credit. It's a neat swap and likely a fun drive, but these days most cars are out of its punching range.

[@basedemt6608]

@@hmmboost Agreed. My '15 Edge Sport will run 8.3's in the 1/8th and 13.1's in the 1/4 on a bad/slow day with just a tune. And even then I wouldn't call mine a full sleeper. It's a fun little quick car though, although I must admit it's a little slower than I expected.

[@anthonybryant7390]

​@@basedemt6608was thinking of getting a fit and doing this swap or getting a 2017 fiesta st. Worried about longevity being a daily, though seen Fiesta St with 140k on the clock still running harder than I plant to.

[@goforbroke2]

Do any of you guys own a K24? I say that because this motor will make 225-235 WHP with quality bolt-ons and a tune. The stock k24a2 in the Tsx is severely choked from the factory. The rev hang in this car is disastrous, fixing that alone would help with acceleration. A tune alone would transform this car. The stock tsx tune is hot garbage from the factory.

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

Honda did miss the mark on this car. They should have made an Si with the base RSX K20 that made 160hp like they did with the mid 2000's Civic hatch. That thing would have sold well!

[@bgee461]

don't kid yourself, these cars are laughed at by most new car shoppers. notice how Brian said 75-80% are autos?... retired folks buy them. 50k/year average sales, which is 1/7th of civic sales.

[@criSOME1]

Statistics suck without context. Who’s buying all the used manual fits?

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

@@bgee461, I see plenty of non retired people driving the sport model especially to these with the 17 inch wheels and leather seats. These days you can get a bunch of tech in the late models. Just put the 5MT in it and and base K20 and that is it. It is still has less power and torque than the Si Civic. The Fit in this trim would work well. Hell, you could even offer it with the automatic from the RSX. They'd have a legit 3 offerings for sports cars. The fit is way smaller and lighter than the Civic as the Civic is huge! (almost the size if a Lexus IS). You tune the suspension and this thing would be just as fun, if not more fun than the mid 2000's Si hatchback. There, I have stated my case!

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

@@criSOME1, fine. You could just use the complete auto swap outta the RSX with 160hp. The most horsepower a fit has had is 128. 32hp extra and raise the redline from 6800 to 7000. Also, this is a K20 so buyers would already have a plethora of options to add more power already.

[@TassieLorenzo]

@@bgee461 "these cars are laughed at by most new car shoppers." I have to disagree. Most people who have one, *love them.* They are so practical and still are more sporty & fun to drive than a comparable Toyota Yaris (if not quite as sporty as say a Ford Fiesta). The same goes for people loving the 8th-9th Civic hatchbacks which are a Civic front end and a Fit rear end (but obviously widened considerably, by about 250mm/10"). The magic seats and practicality is *awesome!* The cargo area with the seats folded down is just as large as the 10th-11th gen hatchbacks, despite the car being a foot shorter. You can fit two sets of wheels with tyres in there, with room to spare, it's crazy. I love that about my 8th-gen FN2 Civic Type R. The Fit-based 9th-gen FK2 Civic Type R is still my favourite turbo Civic Type R too. The torsion beam rear end gets a lot of criticism, but the Renault Clio RS and Megane RS are also beam rear ends and handle great, while Ichishima-san from Spoon had a lot of praise for the stiffness of the double layer Fit floor pan. Honestly, IRS is not that important in a front wheel drive and it's arguably still better than the IRS on the EP3/DC5 which was a lot worse than the old EF-EK version (i.e., the EP3/DC5 lack rear suspension stroke) for reasons known only to Honda, plus those 7th gens having issues with front end geometry too (so the suspension layout was not great all round compared to the TSX). Not all IRS is created equal -- the EF-EK version and 8th-gen sedan to current versions of IRS are great, of course.

[@napalmsteak]

Man, my hand hurt watching you shift gears without a shift knob. I love white shift knobs, too. I had a white Sickspeed Cue Ball shift knob in my old 2007 Ford Fusion. I never thought about the black ones heating up in the sun but it makes sense. One time, I had a polished aluminum one on my Fusion and that thing would definitely cook your hand in summer. I love your Fit. I have a friend who has one from the last year that they sold them in the US and he absolutely loves it. It really is a shame that Honda stopped selling them here, it's amazing how much room that little car has on the inside and it was really nice and affordable, too. I guess at least the rest of the world can still enjoy them. Very nice project. I wonder if the reason for the heat soak is because of where your intake tube is running to, it seems like it'd be getting a lot of hot air from there. Keep up the great work, that is a very nice swap.

[@brandonroth3972]

I used to work for a Honda dealership, and had always thought Honda should compete with Ford's Fiesta ST. But it never happened. My personal idea, was not to give it the Si engine from the civic, rather just use the base 1.8 civic engine. It would go from 117 hp to about 140. Add that with a 5 speed and it would be a fun little car from the factory. I argue the 1.8, because it wouldn't overpower the Fit, and keep costs down for Honda.

[@blech71]

There was a brief time that I sold parts to HASPort back in the day. We’re talking like ‘03’ish from Vegas Acura… back then it was Falconi’s. The idea being that we were another source for shift linkages and other small stuff they had issues procuring and if we had them why not send them over. Brian and the guys I dealt with were amazing and class act. I had Blue ‘00 SI coupe at the time and they were messing around with some new mounts… or rather the solid durometer center. They sent over the rear mount to test out and man that thing was a piece of shear beauty and performed really well. What a great group of people. Now I’m much older and don’t do swaps and such. But I do have a virgin ‘96 GSR and a clean CX EG that I would like to build for the kids to mess around with. It’s been years and I know everything move into the K series when we were all B heads back then. Seeing vids like this pop up give me an itch to get back into it.

[@VTECAcademy]

Ah yes, Falconi's.

[@VTECAcademy]

I've been there. Played tennis tournaments in 102°F with over 90% humidity. It does suck. The really big problem with 115+ degrees is how hot the interior of a car gets. Dashes, shift knobs and seatbelt buckles get up in the 150-160 range regardless of humidity. Grabbing a 160° seatbelt buckle cans cause blisters. Also AC cools a car in 105°F with 80% humidity weather way faster than a car in 115°F. And it dehumidifies.

I once tried 3" exhaust but the space is so tight , it rubbed with car body when my family was onboard and it freaked them out that something bad is happening under the car. So had to shift back to 2.5" with varex muffler plus another open cutout to air. now i have control over sound/power. with varex muffler its quiet just like a stock car, but with open ,, wow

Please Brian, give us a breakdown later on on the typical cost of parts needed to do the basic swap, with A/C of course, no tune or anything like that. I have a target in my mind of around $10K(but that's because I live in Puerto Rico where these projects will almost ALWAYS cost more than on the continent).

My last car was a GK Fit, there weren't too many suspension options when I got it and the common thing was to run Koni Orange for the GE with your choice of lowering springs. Supposedly they were not quite centered in the range of travel for the rears, but they worked fine until they wore out. By that time the Honda sport suspension was released for the GK, and it felt significantly better on the damping. I'd be curious to see someone try the GK factory parts on the GE, if the GE shocks work for both it stands to reason that the GK would as well. Especially for a daily, the moderate drop of the factory sport setup worked better for me.

Do K24A swap on 9th gen accord sedan sport and lx have manual option to make it easier and the 9th gen got the wrong k24 (W) would love to see one that was built for a sleeper

If you don't mind me asking what shifter box and shifter cables did you run when doing the conversion?

I hope you can help me with my fit. My fit has this problem, there's this jerking/swaying motion when it is at low gear. Can you help me please?

Run a 3in intake pipe minimum. I'm running a 3.5/3in setup on my 2g tsx, works well, but with the fits engine bay idk if that would be possible. An fn2 type r intake manifold would be good for that setup or port the stock runners and get some good midrange gains. k24z loves thermal mods. Too! I live in vegas It's been 116 here and ive been fighting heatsoak lol. Water wetter ftw! It will help disipate the heat and cool off the water jackets that flow across the exhaust ports. I made a radiator heatsheild to help fight intake manifold heat soak as well.👍 everybit helps

What shops in the Valley of the Sun do you recommend for this type of swap. It's been 12 years since I have had a honda tuned at Locash racing. I used to have work at Superior Racing Development. Currently the only shop I am aware of is We Don't lift racing (Ravi's shop)
