K24Z7 engine and 6-speed transmission
into Fit (GE8) (from Civic Si)
Yes: the K24Z7 engine and 6-speed transmission from the Civic Si (2012-2015) fits the Fit (GE8) (2009-2013) — difficult difficulty, modifications required.
Installation notes
Required modifications
Engine mounts: Hasport GEK. GEK3-24 is the version for a K24 engine with the 08-13 Accord, 09-14 TSX or 12-15 Civic Si manual transmission (GEK1 and GEK2 versions cover RSX/02-11 Si and 03-07 Accord/04-08 TSX gearboxes). Hasport notes its rear brackets for the TSX/Accord/12-15 Si transmission do not work with US K24A1, K20A2, K20A3 and K20Z1 blocks; that is not an issue for a K24Z engine. Also needed: shifter cables for the chosen gearbox, wiring and ECU, axles, cooling, fuel and exhaust.
Important caveats
- Hasport's TSX/Accord/12-15 Si rear brackets do not fit US K24A1, K20A2, K20A3 or K20Z1 blocks.
- Hasport lists the GEK kit for 2009-2014 Fit; the US GE8 Fit was sold for 2009-2013 and the chassis continued in other markets.
- Hybrid Racing's ready-made GE shifter cables are for the K20Z3 transmission, not the K24Z7 gearbox; plan shifter cables separately.
- Engine wiring and ECU are not covered by the mount kit.
