I settled with a A/T GD3 08' Fit and I was reading around and still don't understand why some Turbo were "M/T only".

For Installing CAI, is there a way to create Vents on the side of the car facing forward and piping it to the turbo to blow into the engine?

I'm not so sure how it works completely but i think from what I see is the CAI connects to turbo and the turbo condense and blow it into the engine for big bangs!

I read a bit about hydro lock and thought maybe there is a way to have dual vents on both sides of the car piping up with a small slit on the bottom of the pipe to pressurize the water to blow down and out the slits while the air blows up the two pipes and gets merged into one pipe into the turbo(when it rains). I don't wanna go SRI unless i gotta.

>.> help me out here
I have 2 friends that have shops but i'd rather find out from here how things go and then ask them for further help since you guys know more parts that are compatible with the fits.

Thanks!

Can you guys let me know if this diagram is correct?

 

if you have a turbo car with an intercooler what is the point of having the intake being in a remote location to get cold air. think of it the turbo is spooled by exhaust heat ie very hot. that why there is an intercooler to cool the heated air before it gets to the engine.

and people use manual trans because it can take more abuse and a auto stock to stock. people do beef up their auto trans to handle it but thats for only going in straight lines and wheres the fun in that.

 

I wouldn't recommend TCing your car. First, the Honda Fit's engine isn't made for that kind of high performance. You should just save up and get a proper Turbo Charged car

 

wouldn't i get even more air molecules sucking the air from outside than under-the-hood? so wouldn't the compression be higher if its initial air quality that the turbo sucks in, is cold as opposed to warm temp from underthehood?

i kind of think turbo with an sri will seem kinda bottlenecking.

*edit*so its okay if i just get the "m/t only" and slap it onto my a/t? that just makes the dealers look kind of nooby for adding that.

 

Okay here goes. Ur idea of the slits in the pipe not sure how water would leak out but not the air. Trust me you want a performance turbo car u bought the wrong car. Keep that as ur dd or sell it. Get a Used evo. I had one and it has just a regular intake uner the hood i made 330awhp with some other bolt on goodies

 

Hahaha the jazz was made to be a fun economical car man... Modding under the hood is fine but try not to change the concept of the idea it was built on. Otherwise your car is just going to fall apart. Keep that in mind , anyway goodluck with whatever you choose to do!

 

Other option if you love jazz so much and got cash to throw around, go a k20 fit. haha GL on that though
