Turbo kit... waiting... waiting...
Is there any company close to releasing a kit for our 2015 cars? I'm getting ancy / eager to purchase one when something is released. I imagine the tuning hasn't been figured out and that's the reason for the delay?
Annoyed because my other car has no tuning options yet either. I'm being forced to retain my warranties.. :violin: |

Not exactly true, J's has already flashed a GK over here. And KTuner or whatever has sent a device to Myxl???? for datalogging his ECU and he'll have Vit do a tune based off the logs.

i have an "in" with J's racing, so i will contact them. i exported the LHD drive yellow AP2 for them in 2004, and they flew to the states and tuned one of my cars back in the day. :thumbups: |
Big money :yeahthat:

regardless, it is not common (read: cheap) knowledge yet. once hondata offers something (which may or may not happen) then it should be in reach of the average consumer.

That's cool, they are all good people and they currently have my Fit now doing an engine and sussy rebuild. |
There were several boosted GK's at SEMA, so bolt-on kits won't be too far off.

The thing is, as much as I appreciate all that Doug and Derek have given to the Honda world in regards to tuning, if they sit idly by with the GK as they have done with the GE (after much interest on this very forum) and another option with KTuner is available, people need not wait around on Hondata any longer. And the KTuner option seems to be cheaper to boot.

That's cool, they are all good people and they currently have my Fit now doing an engine and sussy rebuild. Ktuner is working on the GK as we speak. The direct injection is proving to be a challenge as well as deciphering some of the other 'ECU language'. I've only had the opportunity to reflash and change cam angles to see how the car perform. Nothing yet as far as ignition, air/fuel ratios, etc. Look at one of the Sticky's above for the --> Kenny V Edition Fit He has turbo'd the L15B engine (Bisimoto totally changed the engine so a no go there). The shop's name that did Kenny's turbo is called Full Time Fabrications. Click the link I provided to Kenny's thread. Click here --> Full Time Fabrications Facebook for their Facebook page. Here is Full Time Fabrication's address --> 1435 51st North Bergen New Jersey 07046 Your Newest Source for Custom Drag Race Fabrication!! Here is their number --> (201) 867-2513 ****I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU**** I just called Full Time Fabrications (As I Was Typing This). I talked to a gentleman by the name of 'Kevin' there. They built the turbo kit for Kenny. Guess what!?! They will make you a kit too as well. All you have to do is give them a call and make it happen. You no longer have to wait on anyone. Good luck on your ventures! :p |
