It's been done in a Fit, Hasport even have a mount kit to drop it in yourself.

John, this thing is absolutely amazing. Thanks for bringing it by A&E today. Great work by a awesome guy. Kudos my friend!!!

Certainly a bad machine you got there, the swap is mint. Thanks again.

JeRM82 · 12-16-2007, 10:22 PM

DAMN.....that is a SICK swap! I saw a pic of it in siphon and HAD to find out more! It looks REALLY clean too! Do you have any more pics of the engine bay and maybe how the fuel tank is set-up? Just wondering of you were able to use OEM honda fuel lines, regulator, or a stock tank. Were you able to use a stock style header, or a swap header? That is one CLEAN swap.....nice job! How much does it weigh now?

MrLHT · 01-10-2008, 11:41 PM

I will be giving up more info on The K-sight soon.
Keep an eye on Honda Tuning magazine.
It does use a stock insight fuel tank with a modified Walboro pump, Stock lines and regulator(still Returnless).
The header is a custom piece built by us, as with the exhaust.
All the mounts are Honda mounts, all the brackets and braces are aluminum. Not only does this keep the wieght down but keeps the theme of the Insight. The whole car is aluminum except the bumpers and fenders.
Since building the car, it has done 3500 miles with no issues what so ever.
We do plan to make some videos to show how well the car drives and performs, It's to explain.
Stay tuned.

in for updates....badass car! your shop does some top notch work! my friend had his turbo kit done by yall on his prelude! amazing quality!

**kaluwa** · 02-19-2008, 11:21 PM

I don't know if this was already answered, but I think I read that this still gets 55mpg. If its a full kseries drivetrain, what allows it to keep the high MPG?

**RoadRacer** · 02-19-2008, 11:40 PM

Awesome John.
I think it's the light weight and tuning that allows for the great mpg. I read that they are running an a/f ratio of 19-1 without detonation.

MrLHT · 02-19-2008, 11:44 PM

We are running in open loop so we can achieve the lean mixture of 19 to 1 with about 40 degresss of cam advance. These were some tips from Doug at Hondata. Of course full thottle is sitting at 12.8 to1 AF.

Here's a pic from a shoot I did with Chris, He's a great Photographer for those wanting quality work.He offers protraits of cars and bikes and can even supply a blown up print in a frame. I will post a picture when I get mine from him.
