Sup yall, I currently have a 2009 fit (already has an intake, exhaust, tein coilovers, few other mods) I was wondering if there was any way to get between 180-200 hp with a turbo and without engine swapping. I was looking at the zage turbo kit but I saw some of the people on the forums said they were only pushing around 150 whp. If I go with that kit what other modifications could I do to get the gains I'm aiming for? Should I just do it custom and pass on the zage? I know people will say just go with the sprintex supercharger, but come on we all love that turbo sound.

I follow Mario. He has a turbo L15A7 and makes around 255 HP at the crank. I haven't asked him outright, but I snooped around his Instagram to see his build. Definitely possible with time and money.

oh word imma have to message him and see what he's done and if he can help me out, preciate it 💪🏼

 

Is 180 WHP & WTQ doable? Yes, with stock internals. Beyond that, things start getting a little bit uncomfortable on the L15A7's stock limits. The Zage turbocharger kit will definitely be a great candidate to hit your power goals while used with KTuner... Though it might be a little bit of a wait as I hear they hear that they are made to order.

Sprintex will NOT reliably make the bottom numbers you want on common pump gas like 93 octane. Even with water/meth injection while running the "upgraded" pulley the Sprintex S5-150 is already out of its efficiency range and is effectively a heat sink at that point. One will need a larger blower before even attempting to crack those numbers while supercharged unless they use an alternative means of SCing such as a Rotrex (Centrifugal SC). E85 MIGHT help in conjunction with water/meth but even then that blower is going to be holding you back in terms of efficiency and heat. PLUS it is discontinued and sourcing parts is somewhat difficult. Jon Bond Performance usually offers rebuild and upgrade services for them though.

The Fit mentioned making 250+ WHP is actually running an engine that has been rebuilt with forged internals if I recall correctly (I've slept since I've chatted with the owner, forgive me) so its not realistic with a stock bottom end.
