I dont really want to get off topic, but it was more than 15.

Anywhoo i dont doubt anything at 10psi. Oscar Jackson knows his $hit! and I definitely doesnt see anything bad happening at 10psi.

 

I guess i'll take your word for it, chris

10 lb kit, here i come!...or whenever it decides to get out here

 

what about the longevity of the 5lb kit? if a 10lb kit has no issues, i would imagine that even on stock internals, the 5lb kit would last a long time no?

 

Exactly... I have had the kit on my car for abour 10k with no problems what so ever.

 

now, i have seen a few images of the JRSC kit, from the other post, and it looks like the kit will run piping all around, and potentially if not already remove the Sport's fog lights. if so why didn't JR go about making the SC similar to the K series and D/B series SC where it simply replaces the intake manifold?

 

you wont have to remove your foglights, on top of that... the kit looks nothing like the old pics.

 

in that case... pics please

 

This kit sounds really promising. How much torque steer are you getting with the 5lb kit (and I know you're in sales and all, but please don't say "none" )?

 

I really want to see some pics and pricing on this new 5 PSI kit!

 

fantastic news! I belive it was you who also mentioned that you experienced only a small penalty to fuel economy (if any at all) under 'normal' driving conditions? I realize that its going to be more expensive to fill up, and i'll probably drive her harder and that will have an effect, but its cool if driven frugaly, you can still eck out some good mpg.


This is great news. This is whats going to keep me interested in staying with my fit after 5 years and keep me from buying an si or gti for more 'pep'.

 

The way i argue on a Fit vs Si is that the Fit ultimately has more utility. That's in addition to better gas mileage and all that other good stuff that the Fit has going for it. I mean, you can't turn an Si into a mobile bed or carry large amount of stuff. The Fit's just more versitile, hands down.

Plus, with a set of good tires (Azenis 615) I smoke Si's up and down the canyon road.

 

Same Gas mileage as when I was Stock!

 

This 5psi Kit sounds fantastic, would love to see some Pics Chris

Good news about the MPG.... hmmm although I bet if you were hard on the throttle all the time it would be a different story lol

 

totally agreed! not to mention that i feel that our cars' steering feel superior to the si's, doesn't feel as artificial. (which i know is getting nit-picky, as the si's feel is great as well. we are just a tinsy bit better!)

 

tasty! good mpg (with a light foot) and sporty! what more could you want? (well, specs and a release date aside... )

 

comparing a built motor and a stock motor is 2 different things. built motors usually have lower compression and have a higher tolerence for detonation especially right when the motor was dropped in and the ECU is relearning itself. You can blow a motor with 5 psi if not set right, and just enough detonation took out a ring land (like fuel starvation or wrong timing). 2nd HKS has even stated the rods can take up to 200 ps, but it could be the JDM motors are built a little better then US motors too.

 

Hey chris did you get your car back? I was surfing myspace and .... and well the pics look recent...

 

The Kit made its debut at our socal meet this weekend. Check the socal section for pics from the meet.

 

damn! i wish i could've gone ;_; oh well, i guess i'll just have to buy the kit ;D

How do you like it chris? The piping looks nuts

 

I like it. It drives nice.
