Oh yes, much larger, straighter, and deeper sounding.... It's louder than I thought it would be also and that is with the cat.

How is your mpg? Still having problems with running rich?



Turned in the GD3 to the body shop today... had to get a Hyundai Accent for a rental car for a week. Kill me now.

I drove about 20 feet out of the driveway and got finally hit 15% on the maintenance minder with a B12 code. Then headed to Home Depo and Lowes and returned with some Whataburger.

What the the heck is a B12 code? I am thinking it could be a vitamin deficiency, maybe?

I can't get used to being able to accelerate at 40MPH in 5th gear going up a hill that I went up in 4th gear before... I am thankful that I have the ECT and eco 5 mode....... Runing Rich.......It's not so much of a problem as far as driving or running good goes but without the cat at a Taco Bell drive through window the fumes caused the employs to evacuate the kitchen.... Just Kidding. It is bad at idle when the timing isn't advanced, OK with the cat but considerably slower.... It is going to really roar without the cat and sound nothing like fart can.

It's funny but I wish it wasn't happening to you.. Glad you are getting it fixed, I need some body shop attention for my car too but not a whole lot.

Thats pretty much it, though in the screen the 1 & 2 where really close to each other and looked like a 12 without my glasses.

I am having to rotate my tires tomorrow and reinstall what I had to remove to pass the state inspection. I have to take a look at my motor mounts also. It is possible that they aren't up to the recent power increase.... This is getting costly in both time and money but I do have a lot of time on my hands.

How much power did you add and do you think it's enough to cause a good motor mount to fail prematurely or do the OEM mounts just suck? Mine feel soft and I don't have any "go-fast" mods and I don't do anything like harsh clutch dumps.

I've got 60k mi on my Fit and the mounts feel way too soft for my liking.

Over 75 HP VIA KWSC 10 PSI high boost kit. I think the mounts are getting tired .... Lots of movement even at 1/4 throttle and no clutch dumping or stupid 0 to 60 nonsense. I suppose the Innovative street mounts will do what I want, anything stiffer would be too hard on me and the car... All of their mounts are polyurethane and have a lifetime warranty and the street mounts are the cheapest at $350.... I'm glad I paid off the loan on my barn...

Check out MNfit's signature on page 36 of this thread if it is the supercharger kit you are not familiar with KraftWerks.. I haven't slept and guess I am acting like the younger guys here and abbreviating too much.... KraftWerks sponsors the forced induction threads.....I don't know how to do links.

I haven't slept yet either so I know how it feels

I mean't to ask about the mounts, not the KWSC. Maybe we should both get some rest soon... separately of course
