Theoretical Question . . .
I searched but didn't find anything . . . Since there is soooo much ample space under the hood of the Yaris Hatch, i was wondering if it would be possible to do a Honda K20A2 swap with our vehicle . . .

I'm with the Honda bashers, I'm afraid. Why swap in a K20? If you want more power out of the car, you can turbo it for about the same cost, or possibly for slightly cheaper go with a Chevy V8 like JohnnyFive said. If you want a Honda powered car, go buy a Honda. If you really really want a Honda engine in there, you could make it work. But there are so many better alternatives I can't imagine why you would.
There is an excellent reason you didn't find any hits on that search. |

if you have a spare si or rsx motor lying around and dont give a hoot about your yaris, well than go for it. id say rear wheel mid engine, like a renault clio.
but if above isnt what your working with, well thats just dumb. oh and youll be screwed, both honda fanatics and toyota fans wont like you much, where would you bring your car to show off.

It's like inbreeding, it's absolutely possible, but just so wrong...

 I don't think any of us can argue that the K20 is probably the most formidable 4 banger around when you look at the big picture. However, you would then be driving a Honda Yaris, and that is just ghey. GHEY I SAY. 3SGTE FTW. |
