I am pretty sure that the 2.0l Civic would work. Wikipedia says that the K20C2 has 158 HP and 138 pounds-feet of torque and the F23A1 has 150 HP and 192-pound-feet of torque.

Really?! The 2.0 has 8 HP more and 54 L-F less?!

I did not expect that.
The Fit is currently an L15A7, the Civic is an L15B7 turbo... so I'd guess interchanging them wouldn't be too hard?
