If you really want one now contact them there will probably be someone in the 12 first orders that has to back out or after the initial sales they will start to get it out to the distributors and you can get a lead time on getting one.

These are the Honda Fit bits for USDM market, run 1. Notice the billet EGR fitting on the leftt? THAT is a pain to make! We refused to just block it off. We put in the time, money, and sweat to make these things as perfect as possible.




22,000 miles worth of testing in the USA. more overseas.$2,995 MSRP with the SMT8 piggyback. $2,745 MSRP for hardware only.

I wonder when they will offer a different piggyback option.

Didnt really need a billet EGR piece, an elbow from an older honda looks like it would have worked perfect! (think way old accord!)

Because everyone wants to blow dead air back into the engine.

I guess you can still block it off and then just open it back up come emissions time.

Im officially impressed sprintex.

Hey there rpmextreme,

What alternative tunes do you have for this kit? I have one here in Aus and have been waiting for something like this! Sprintex said they were going to send me an exhaust tune soon but I'm curious as to what you guys have done!

Have you gotten any new map file from Mark Ambrosius? Gary Turner told me Sprintex Australia is closed for a two weeks Christmas vacation. Town where Sprintex Australia is located is big on surfing and town folks take time to relax and go surfing. I learned from speaking with Gary Turner that the SMT fuel tuner map file in the US kit is tuned for 91 octane fuel. What octane fuel is your kit tuned for?

I haven't received it yet, sometimes i have to shoot him a couple of messages for a reply.

If I use anything under 98 octane i get pinging.

Safe to say, thats 98 RON, yes?

Thats strange, i thought it was optimized (if you want, optimised) for 95 RON. Unless you're switching to something much lower when not using 98 RON.

Pretty sure 91 here is AKI, which is roughly 95 RON (according to wiki). So, it "should" work.

We have them for sale under our " street products" tab rpmextreme.com

It looks like the long wait is finally over. In my opinion they took their time and made a very nice kit.

There is a belt cover in the picture on the Sprintex GE Honda Fit supercharger kit. Who makes that belt cover?

It was probably a planned piece to accompany all the kits, but may have been cut to lower consumer price

Hopefully my pictures work correctly.


Just got my kit!!! Had to share the photos of the unboxing. Can't wait to get this thing installed. Props to Sprintex as this looks to be quality stuff AND the shipping was exceptionally fast.

Glad you like it. Send me some pictures during the install so I can add them to our website.

Sorry for my crappy pictures rpmextreme, or you could use those to add to the site. I did notice you got some uploaded of the test car. I'm still trying to decide if I am going to bring it to you guys for install or attempt it myself. The instructions were much better than I expected so I may go for installing it myself. Appreciate you guys and Sprintex getting the kit shipped out so quick. I got it much sooner than expected!
