Honda fit with turbo...Lost the Waranty?
Hi, I wanted to know if a buy and install a turbo to my honda fit i can lost the warranty of the Motor...
It Doesn't matter if the turbo only give me 200 HP? with 200HP the motor is not in damage.

here's the thing (at least in the US). there is nothing that says this voids your warranty, that doesn't. a warranty claim can be rejected if the cause of the failure was due to the aftermarket part.
if your window winding motor breaks under warranty, an intake can't possibly be the cause of the defective window motor, so that defective part would be covered.
if you add anything that "could" cause damage to your motor. you better believe honda will say it was caused by the aftermarket part.
with my wrx, i was told a CARB legal intake and cat-back exhaust were the only safe bets on power mods.

200whp is very do-able with the L15. Race gas, 15psi and a good tune. Id say OVER 200whp.
Adding a turbo will void all engine/drive train warranty. Bumper to bumper should still be covered (depending on the part).
light wheels, tires, weight reduction, intake & exhaust, stereo,
look, suspention, synth oil

Suspension can void drive train warranty. It all depends on the dealer.
You can run nitrous if you wanted. If something happens be sure the install is clean and easy to remove. Dont leave any traces or signs of you having nitrous.
If you want, go to the dealership you have in mind. Tell them what you plan on doing and ask if the warranty will still apply. If they give you a thumbs up get it in writing!! A signed piece of paper is good enough.

MX6GT89,
Sansar wrote about installing a turbo kit. I interpret a turbo kit consisting of a bolt on turbo, engine management, and intercooler like a Greddy kit. This would achieve approximately 30 hp at the flywheel. I do believe you, that the Fit motor can achieve 200hp but this would most certainly involve much more than a "turbo kit" (pistons, flywheel, porting, cam, larger injectors etc..)....either route would most certainly void the powertrain warranty.

200+whp is doable without internal work. I know it. If D16's can do it, why cant the L15? I honestly think the OEM clutch will hold it too.
you can easily turn out LOTS more hp just by turning up the boost and tuning. most turbo "kits" are for 7 lbs boost. you can turn it a lot higher than that for a lot more hp, but risk to your engine would then skyrocket without the proper tuning and internals.

Please tell me that was a joke right? Theres a member on here that dynoed 198whp on spray and bolt ons. All you need is more boost with a bolt on turbo kit. Its all in the tuning.
200whp is very do-able with the L15. Race gas, 15psi and a good tune. Id say OVER 200whp.

good tune isnt a miracle. stock fit have 75whp, you are not tripling the hp with a just turbo kit.
