I can't let my Fit slip for too long... Wheel hop gets crazy.

With the sc, driving requires a little bit more of something I'm no good at.... finesse. LOL

 

Now you know why I compare it to driving an evil purple minion!

 

I found that filling the lower motor mount with window weld reduced wheel hop considerably.

 

But wouldn't that transfer more vibrations from the engine to the car's chassis, and eventually to us?

 

^ It's barely noticeable. I can only notice some additional vibration when idling with the ac on.

 

I wanted to do this mod for a while with medium hard 60A urethane from McMaster-Carr, 8644K24. Did you filled just the torque mount? I am waiting for the right opportunity to fill all the mounts: engine mount, transmission mount and torque mount. This coming Thanksgiving or Christmas might be a good time to drop the tranny for a new clutch, to install the LSD and to fill the mounts. It gives me time to tidy the garage and pull out the engine hoist to hold up the engine when the mounts are out of the car.

 

Yes I did just the torque mount. After a lot of research I choose this: On-line Product Catalog: 3M

It is available at most auto part stores for under $20. I would think the stuff you choose from McMaster-Carr would work too. They look like they have the same hardness. The 3M product is marketed at an adhesive, I don't know the chemical difference? But I could see an advantage to something that adhered to the existing rubber in the mount.

Anyone who drives the fit aggressively should for sure do this simple mod. It is a dramatic improvement, smoothing out launches and aggressive gear changes. I did not do the other mounts because of the effort involved, and I felt the result of filling just the torque rod was adequate for the stock engine. Now with the SC I am considering filling the rest. To reduce downtime I probably would buy a set to fill then swap them.

 

So, two days ago i drove my car to the doctor's office and got hit by limp mode, P0335 (CKP), after picking up the meds.

All that morning and the evening before, my car sounded like it was struggling to start. I tried restarting and getting out of limp mode multiple times to no avail. It only got out of limp mode after getting home. What did i do differently? I pulled the ultragauge. Might've just been a coinicidence, didn't have time to check anymore.

I would've posted this then, but i was in a rush to catch a flight out... A 1-1/2 hour, then a 3-1/2 hour, 14 hour and finally another 3-1/2 flight... And a total of some 7-8 hours of wait time in between (30 hours of travelling!). It's pretty hot in Cambodia... Wish i could work on my Fit.

 

struggling to start?

When you get back, pull a plug out and check its health. Compare it to a few online sparkplug health pictures.

I would say if the plugs are damaged or dirty, make sure all 4 are telling the same story.


Over the years I have learned the hard way that sparkplugs are the ultimate book on how your motor is doing!

 

Before I had the SC I noticed my UG could cause some issues if it was plugged in or unplugged while I was driving. I don't remember getting any DTCs but I remember having to stop the car and restart it.

Also I feel your pain about the flights. I just completed a trip to China. Here is proof:

 

Was that Fit drug up from the ocean floor? It looks like seaweed dangling from the tow hook.

 

Is that somewhere in 安徽省 China? Those red cords are use to ward off bad luck or evil spirits.

I took a trip to China last year with my wife. 2 ½ hours flight from Tampa International to Dulles International in Washington DC for 2 hours layover. 13 hours later we were in Beijing for 4 hours layover waiting for domestic flight to Chengdu for 5 minutes Kodak moment with a 8 months old Panda at the Panda reserve. Another 3 hours flight to Nanning to visit my wife's family. Returning home was fun fill as well with a 3 hours flight from Nanning to Beijing for a 7 hours layout. Luckily the new Beijing airport is so much nicer because of the Olympic. There are lounge chairs to sleep on. 14 hours later we were back in good old USA at Dulles for 2 hours layout for a 2 ½ hours flight to Tampa. Smog is very bad in Beijing. You can see the yellowish tint from the plane. When I was Beijing in 2003 the air was very clean without any smog in sight.

 

^ Wuhu, Anhui, China to be exact. I had to fly from Beijing to Nanjing then drive to Wuhu. The drive was nice because I actualy got to see some countyside for the first time. The company I work for has a electronics contract manufacturer there. The fit was in the hotel parking lot. The thing hanging on the back looked like the remnants of a tie strap to me? But I could belive the charm theory too.

 

Did you get a provisional driver license in Beijing to drive in China? The 100 questions examine is brutal for a Chinese driver license. My wife first cousin on her mother side has money. I have traveled by car with them to parts of China that rarely see westerners. Her uncle offer his VW Golf to me for short sight seeing trip in inner south western China on a few of these trips. Last year trip to Chengdu we visit nearby Mount Emei, 峨嵋山 and stay at the top of the mountain to catch the sun rise. On the bus ride up to mid summit for the tram I saw many Audi and even a R8. Scattering through out Chengdu there were many Audi and BMW more than I see here in Tampa.

 

^I should have said "the ride". I have no plans of ever driving there! There are so many things in their traffic that scare the shit out of me.

 

Just saw today, a pair of drunks laying across the road after coming off their scooter. I saw them laying on the road, was told they were just drunk. Can't deny or confirm beyond that.

And yeah, "traffic" in Asia scares me too.

 

Gary,

Is there going to be an upgraded version of the Sprintex sc? Is our blower the 150 version? Is there going to be a 150+ version?

I know Sprintex is making a 210+ and 335+ version for the FRS/BRZ.

 

I'm wondering what the possibility is of fitting a Sprintex kit but to a L13z1 as I am based in the UK and unfortunately we don't have the L15 here.

Contacted Sprintex Australia who were not really majorly helpful to be honest and basically said it may fit.

From looking at engine part diagrams from the L13 and L15 they look similar, but possibly may require an adapter plate to mount the supercharger.

If anyone has anything they can push my way to help me out it will be much appreciated.

 

hi guys i have honda jazz hybrid 1.3L engine code LDA3 cvt 2012
i want hepl for upgrade supercharger info .
i cant find supercharger kit for my case please somebody help me.

 

I have no idea on fitment for the 1.3L. I was not involved in the R&D for this kit.

The 150+ blowers won't be available for several months.

I am, however, getting up to speed on little tips and tricks for this chassis. The Mod1 table was difficult to get my head around. It is injecting more fuel through the factory injectors, but I don't quite understand why suppressing the MAP signal does that. I'll just admit it.

Since adding the K&N filter and 2 1/4 catback, I've rescaled the mod1 table by a factor of 1 all over the board. This negated the need to add fuel earlier through the supplementary injector like I was doing. Undoing that extra fuel has improved mileage and drivability across the board.

I was also getting some boost transition pinging as the weather has gotten warmer. Rescaling the 3bar sensor to 55% and filling in another column on the Mod1 table cured it. The boost gauge was seeing boost before the SMT piggyback was, basically. Adjusting the crossover point where we drop the MAP signal suppression and start adding fuel through the 4th injector fixed that transitional ping.

You guys should be fine. I hamstrung myself on this one while not leaving well enough alone. Rescaling the mod1 table might help those of you with intakes, but I don't have one in my hands to play with. We hate hot-air intakes .
