While I'm very happy to see a new forced induction option of the 1.5L Honda platform, I remain cautiously optimistic regarding Fit GE8 applications. They may not see enough market demand to warrant a system for our vehicle. God knows I want one. Only time will tell how this plays out.

I thought they did the same thing with the F154SC GD they put out for a show in 2008 and never came through?

Also that is Mugen Euro.. so RHD only issues maybe?

But buying the compressor, pulleys, belt and mounting hardware is still on option if it sees production! AEM EMS you can buy yourself already! It would be like buying an AUS Sprintex kit and harvesting the usable parts.

Too bad it's a one off... and if it ever gets greenlighted for production, considering it's mugen it'll probably cost like 10 grand

Yeah Koi, you are very right about that... I can't even justify paying the price of a JDM gear shift knob.

Just hope it doesn't fall through like everybody else...

I think it's better off not to say anything about it, then just BAM! Come out with a thread with the build, parts, dynos, pricing, etc. I think people would come out the woodwork when that happens
