Now that is a fun car!, love the idea behind these, I can imagine the looks on peoples faces when you drag them off in a Honda Fit, that is gold in my book!
Even without the engine swap these are just good cars. Have a lightly modified one I drive through the Port Hills in CHCH. Keeps up with almost anything and has people questioning what it's had done to it to be so quick. Small size and okay handling with safe dynamics makes them very easy cars to push Hard. Momentum driving is its own fun.
@@amosy8345 I've got the dodgy white and black one with the Spoon stickers. Would be good to get together with other Honda Fit people. Not many of us out there. You should be able to find me through Facebook messenger using my name.
Just a stock one in manual is surprisingly fun to drive, I was devestated when my dad sold his kluger for one when I was on my Ls, however slowly but surely I learned to love it. So fun to drive, you can hear the vtec, then shift into the next gear and do it all 5 times, and she definitely slips around in the rain. As for practicality, hes installed a set of roof racks on it and uses is similarly to a toyota hilux. All this and a fuel average of under 7L/100 it just doesnt get better than this. Best purchase for 2.5k with only 162kms
Honda definitely should of made more type R models, imagine how many of these would of sold this spec, They should of done Original HRV with B16A2 Or B18C4, was tempted to do mine
We actually race these in our US Gridlife series. It's meant to be a grassroots time attack, so these cars fit perfectly in the 25:1 pwr/weight class. You'd be surprised at the amount of G's this car pulls despite the cheap suspension design. I used to own a 97 ITR, but I actually find I enjoy this car more. I plan on a k24 swap down the road once my Evo 8 is done. :D I wish I could find the RS bumpers though. Very hard to find here.
I purchased my second GEN Honda fit in March 2014, I’m running mini Cooper wheels cold air intake drilled and slotted rotors with carbon fiber ceramic pads and it handles fantastic. I currently have 253,000 miles and my fit is going strong, those who rode with me so they can’t believe a stock fit as quick as mine
Pretty regular swap. About 2 years ago our company tuned ECU for Fit GE7 (JDM 4wd AT) swapped to K24a3 with CU2 intake shaft VTC50, custom header, Honda Stream short AT 4wd - it deals 6.3sec to 100km/h
This is exactly my dream build man, I wish the k24 engines and other swap kits for the fit stays the same price for me to be able to build one one day.
Hey I absolutely love your channel one thing I would love to see in all these reviews is a 0-100 time, would love to see you incorporate these into your reviews... such a Suttle thing but would be a great way to see the true performance
These second gen Jazz’s are insanely practical. I recommended one for my mother in law, she bought it and hasn’t had a single problem with it at all. Even with the 1.5 and auto it’s surprisingly zippy to drive so I can’t even fathom how it’d feel with a K series in it. I wonder how many lengths it’d pull on the Accord?! 😆
Only reason my Partner hasnt got Jazz is they were too expensive for her little run around 12 years back, Suzuki Ignis has been amazing though never had single problem, 4 tyres due to originals perished and still original exhaust at 21 years old and 26k miles, japanese reliable, all mine are Honda though
Awesome! Im envious, that is a match made in heaven! Proper sleeper, it would be thoroughly enjoyable dusting off formidable cars with a Honda Jazz lol.
"I had a honda accord," Does this mean that it is gone or going? Hmm, also yes I heard this as a hint in the last video haha k swapped fit. *EDIT* Nvm its not gone but I think it might be going in 1-3 months.
Hello! Great car!!! Do you have a list with all parts for this swap? This will be a good start to calculate and start to collect parts. I have Jazz and I think to buy another for swap. Thank you!
I have a stock GE8 RS 6 speed manual, and I love it, I used to drive an SiR Accord with the F20b, but this is much more fun on the roads that I drive, but the Accord was much better at highway speeds
@@KiwiCarLife They even have K24 TC Honda Brio. Brio is like K car smaller than Jazz;.~900kg Say 0.6-0.7 Bar boost. Very Linear, will give 300+bHp That will be crazy power to weight ratio n Super Fun car. Roll cage necessary to stiffen chassis else seam weld chassis
Also a Kiwi and had my 2006 Jazz as my daily for 13 years now, was thinking of selling it but all these videos of how good they feel with a k24 swap has got me thinking...
As a stock series 2, 1.5l VTIS owner, watching this is dangerous to ones wallet. They are exceptional cars vs any other brand options of the same range (so practical) but this makes it epic.
This is how these cars all should have been from the factory. The Fit is just too wonderfully convenient in all the other ways, to not get a premium motor option in it some day.
I owned a manual GE8 before but I really hate the sitting position of it. The steering wheel is way too far and I can't get a comfortable driving position.

Hey man we should definitely go for a spin up the hills together, is yours the 1.5 ivtec?
Absolutely! I learned to drive in an nz new 1.5 sport and it handled beautifully with just enough power and a zinggy noise
Can vouch for this! real quick up the hills! I've been in it!
I saw a red one zoom away from me the other day! That thing is quick on curves!!!! I wasn’t in the mood to chase him down haha

Compact, stiff body, tight turning radius, and lightweight makes for the perfect pocket rocket.
Absolutely man!
I've had 5 Fit's, 4 GD'3 & a GE8. I just picked up a 2007 GD3 k24a swap & love it...
Too bad Honda didn't make a Jazz Type R just like that :) LOVE IT!
Yeah man a jazz type r would have been awesome

Wowwwwwww so much power for such a small car this is nuts.. Been a fan of fit but never thought anyone would go for this sort of a setup
It's cool aye
I went from an Integra Type S to a Honda Fit 2012 RS Hybrid 6MT. And yes, the Fit is the greatest car in the world.
Definitely not the greatest but they’re good wee cars. Better than the direct competition
Nice
yes very

Wait they sell the swap kit for this? Please share the sauce 🙏🙏🙏
Holy cow… that thing rips reminds of my K24 GD3…. I was waiting if you do a mini drag against your accord, awesome video 🤘🏾
Might have to try set one up haha

I've seen what a built K20 with a turbo in one of these does but this is more than enough to have fun and enjoy as a daily.
Oh yeah absolutely man
@@KiwiCarLife A channel by the name of "A.Q Performance" has a k-swap guide. He K-swapped his Ge8 and CRZ. Absolutely insane!!
That's how you do it! Very clean and nicely done! Everything is 💯
Yeyeh
Facts!! KCL is getting better and better with every video. Perfectly executed!
@@LeSwexy Thanks so much man!
Awesome! Im envious, that is a match made in heaven! Proper sleeper, it would be thoroughly enjoyable dusting off formidable cars with a Honda Jazz lol.
Yeah man it's sick
BRUH it would be hilarious and SO humiliating to get served by a Honda fit.
Yuss been waiting for this review to come out! How do you find the NVH level in this car?
Pretty good aside from at idle where it vibrates quite a bit
can someone send this vid to the Honda execs...this just seems so absolutely much more fun than the new Civic SI. it's rather unacceptable, really
Yeah agree. Needs to happen
That’s gotta be a pain in the ass to work under that hood lmao
Haha yeah not a lotta room!
What a great conversion, would love to have a go in it.
Yeah man it's awesome aye
"I had a honda accord," Does this mean that it is gone or going? Hmm, also yes I heard this as a hint in the last video haha k swapped fit.

@@KiwiCarLife ;)
@@KiwiCarLife 👀
Have you seen dmo k20 1st gen with 750bhp?
I have
The extra torque of the 2.4 would be so nice in a car that small.
Absolutely
Awesome.Clean Build 👌I owned a honda fit rs too little fun car 🙂
Yeah man they're awesome
Proper Jelly it's legal over there in NZ here in Astraya good luck getting rego,
Yeah man I've heard builds like this are challenging in aus
Can anyone tell me what's the intake manifold used for this K24 Honda Fit / Jazz? Thanks in advance.
Hey man! It's off an FN2 Civic Type R, was mentioned in the video
Hello! Great car!!! Do you have a list with all parts for this swap? This will be a good start to calculate and start to collect parts. I have Jazz and I think to buy another for swap. Thank you!
Unfortunately I do not as it is not my car
damn this was like my dream car back in 2015! mostly because my first car was a Honda Fit 2002, but then I joined the turbo-life with a Colt Czt 2006!
Ooh nice!
Idk if anyone has said this but if Jeremy Clarkson and Steve Irwin procreated… that’s your voice, and I personally love it lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You kinda remind me of ray mears when he was eating uncooked seafood from the ocean. Fantastic!
Hahahah

Everyone knows a teenager in his mums Honda is faster than a lawyer in his leased Lamborghini.

Yeah the jazz is a great back road barnstormer
did you retain the electronic power steering EPS? thanks
Yes
eversince i owned my ge8 i never stopped grinding for that k24 swap. Thank you so much for the amazing content!
All good man! Would recommend you do a K24 swap on yours. You'll love it!
I can't wait until this to mine... Your making me jealous on what I want to do 😅
You're gonna love it man!
I'd love to see how it goes cause I wanna do it too
@@stealthgallo2718 it'll be on my channel
Sometimes Android Auto comes through speakers, not consistently though.
Ah yes
HOLY SHIT K24 JAZZ
HAHA yeah bro it's fantastic
How does this affect average mpg? Just curious
Well given my Accord Euro with a K24 averaged around 9L/100km and my dad's Jazz did 6, I'd say it roughly increases it by 30%
Vauxhall made all models vxr but why didn't hinda make them all type r🤬
Because they can be a bit silly sometimes
I miss mine. Even with the stock engine it sucked not having a limited slip
Yeah true man
What you really need to see is the all-wheel drive boosted K series insight on the LHT channel.
That would be interesting haha
1 Step Up would be slap on A Turbo to K24 in the Jazz
Quite a few running around in Thailand
Yeah so I've heard. Would be cool but I prefer N/A powerband
@@KiwiCarLife
They even have K24 TC Honda Brio.
Brio is like K car smaller than Jazz;.~900kg
Say 0.6-0.7 Bar boost. Very Linear, will give 300+bHp
That will be crazy power to weight ratio n Super Fun car.
Roll cage necessary to stiffen chassis else seam weld chassis
Welp, guess I'm K swapping my Fit now 🤷♂
Would recommend!
Im tempted to do this with my 2015 honda jazz 😂
Ooh that would be awesome man!
My new dream car ! New day new strange fantasy
It's awesome aye
Will it too light for such high hp? The car will fly if skid?
Nah it was perfect
I have one that was shot up and totalled and is a complete pos. How much to swap it? I want to troll the friends and fam. It’s a 08 with 160k
10k plus I'd say
@@KiwiCarLife thanks. Insurance paid out 5500 and I bought it back for 400 so I’ll keep saving
K20Aじゃなくて24Ａにスワップした理由は?
Yes
4:38 - new thumbnail
Haha speed and power
@@KiwiCarLife lol
What axles is this one running?
Custom
I'm surprised on how the owner was able to fit that k24 inside that fit rs in the first place.
Yeah bro no idea how he managed it. Trust the accord is going great!
@@KiwiCarLife Yeah man the accord is going well. ;)
Hasport engine mount kit
Also a Kiwi and had my 2006 Jazz as my daily for 13 years now, was thinking of selling it but all these videos of how good they feel with a k24 swap has got me thinking...
Haha k24 ones are super cool!
How much did it cost him to build ?
Quite a lot!
I have a Honda Jazz (this gen) but unfortunately in the UK, they only come with a standard 100 BHP 1.3 petrol engine. Boring but wonderfully reliable.
Yeah same here
Now do one with a subaru engine
Lol
Bros ripping up highbrook hahaha
Haha yeah g
If you're not helping out HSG that's selfish 💯
What's HSG?
@@KiwiCarLife Google it instead of questioning me 💯

>this is joji.
I KNEW IT.
Thank you for inspiring me to level up the track audiophile gang.
Congratulations on hitting 1K.
Thanks
Clean build! Any1 knows swapping works the same way on the GK5 model?!
It’ll be a little different but still possible
I want this car. I have a 2015 Honda fit myself and I've been trying to change its looks with bumpers and such
Cool man!
All that for 160kw!!!
It's genuinely rapid. Power to weight
What kind of bumpers and sideskirt are those i would definitely would love to mount them in a USA version
They’re just the standard body kit that comes on our ones
the same engine as in my honderecord??? I think what you're trying to say is Honda Accord...I think
Not trying, am saying Honda Accord
I'm not a fan of the body style but hey to each their own
Fair enough
@@KiwiCarLife nice build tho. No hate meant bro
This is how these cars all should have been from the factory. The Fit is just too wonderfully convenient in all the other ways, to not get a premium motor option in it some day.
Yeah true I’d love to see them make a fit/Jazz type r
I want to put a K24 in my GE6 as well. What’s the mounting like? Are there any mounting kits? And how’s the wiring harness and ECU do?
No idea sorry I just drove it. Google mounts for K24 fit swap I'm sure someone makes them.
Here in Bali, Honda Jazz became primadona esp GE8 pearly white series. The design is so timeless.. Love this car :)
Nice
I owned a manual GE8 before but I really hate the sitting position of it. The steering wheel is way too far and I can't get a comfortable driving position.
Yeah I totally get that, it's a bit weird. But I've just learned to live with it
Great video
Thanks!
vtec go wuooaaaAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Yes hahaah
RUclipss gota stop listening to my conversations😂im jist about to buy one and i jist got rid of my k24 lolol
Haha nice
I'd give up BMW life for this car
Haha maybe I'll have to do just that!
Supercharge it!!
Good luck fitting it in there haha
It's like a little missile
Haha yep
How is this possible lol
No idea haha
I’m jealous 🥹
Haha it was pretty awesome
Kewl. Would a 4-cylinder Camry motor fit in my Yaris?
Hahahah maybe but wouldn't make 165wkw...
They are fun stock. The 8th gen is fun stock. This car would get you in trouble.
Agree

Kiwi FIT pronounced FET 😁
Yes thank you for pointing out that accents different to your own exist.
@@KiwiCarLife Yeah nah
How much lighter is this compared to similar age Type R?
Bout the same probably
Im not sure if I would have nailed it at 4:35 with those boulders on the side of the road haha
Shows how much you can trust the car!
what transmission did they have to pair with that ? or what modifications did they have to make?
Just a standard K20A lsd gearbox
The picture of the fit half on the curb was great, I used to do that all the time in mine
Haha nice
even without the added power that lsd must make loads a difference
Yeah true
Haha I saw this car in panmure yesterday looks sick had my red fit rs parked up near it lol
Nice!
Looks like your Fit evolved into a 'Honda Ripped'
Absolutely
what is the power to weight ration on these kswap fits?
I dunno haha whatever power level you’re keen on
Honda Fet ?
Honda Fit
A Jazz with this K24 should be standard 😂

stock jazz gearbox?
