Thought I'd share this video of a turboed GE8 A/T in taiwan. Anyone have any info on this??

YouTube - HONDA FIT 1.5 AT TURBO ?? ?? 1.5 ?? ?? 0.5bar

 

Sounds like a normal fit using paddle shifters with altered exaust.Filming in a car adds speed because speed of film is different that your eyes and brain processing. Old Hollywood trick to make you think it is fast. Filmed at night give the higher illusion of speed. Exaust extra noise gives an illusion of speed also. Shift points sound as far apart as stock, would be quicker to be obtained if a turbo. Show me the tach,and speedo and outside then I would believe it. If he was proud of it you would think he would show a daylight view of his handiwork,then the rest of the video. Looks fake in my book. Don't doubt there is something out there,but real speed shown not really impressive.

you can tell that its turboed from the blow off valve. i think youre thinking too hard

here's a pic i found of the engine bay:

 

o snapz, ssqv?

damn laggerz, i guess i'm not gona b the 1st anymore...

i shoulda jes posted up without a tune and drove it raw! jk

 

you can still be 1st in us! this is in asia (taiwan)

 

what kind of turn was made in the beginning ? looks tighter than what our fits do.

which side of the road do they drive on over there? seems like this guy was all over the place in daylight.

these guys suck at driving at night... at least take a line.

 

lets just say in taiwan traffic rules and etiquette does not apply... lol

 

Someone posted up a uninstalled hks one in taiwan a while ago.

 

well then i guess turbos aren't a myth in the GE8 community

 

i have the magazine lying around somewhere.....
