Still working on the AT kits, and expect the Hondata to go out this month as planned. Fit MT kits are in stock, ready to ship as well.

lately I have been seriously thinking of getting my fit some Boost, and have been leaning towards this Supercharger kit. I got a few questions though, my fit is a Auto so obviously I will need the Kit for the Auto, when was this kit going to be coming out? Will the upgraded fuel injectors work on the Auto? Will the Hondata upgrade work on the Auto, if so what one would be better? What would I want to look at for Gauges, would I want Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Boost? Sorry for all the questions I'm a noob to forced induction and I want to make sure I cover as much as I can.

ETA is July right now. Apparently upgraded injectors don't seem to be needed unless you are running a noisy 60mm exhaust + testpipe +headers. a/t Hondata hasn't been confirmed? I'm looking at wideband O2 and boost gauges for some basic confirmation that things are working properly. (I don't plan on racing or track time.)

I betcha Hondata for AT happens. Let OJR know that there's sufficient interest and they will be on it I'm sure.

Count me in most definitely. In fact, I am questioning getting the kit at all anymore if there's not a Hondata option for AT. That decision will ultimately be pending dyno results though for the various set-up options.

I originally thought injector upgrade would be a requirement if you even had just aftermarket header and axleback exhaust (that was the original suggestion by Kraftwerks, but before final testing was complete I think). Well now seems that's not the case (regarding the need for injector upgrade), so I will need to see a convincing dyno to really want the kit with no upgrade injectors, and I do not want to put the stock header back on after dropping $500.00 on the T1R header. If the gains are there, fine, but there seems no way around the fact that the Hondata is what's needed to really make this kit a serious option for the kind of jack you are dropping for it.

But I could be wrong. Dynos will tell.

Lol, yah my T1R is supposed to be delivered today -- not sure how wise that was to buy...

A/T Dyno request:
(1) stock
(2) + 5# kit
(3) + header + 50mm cat-back

Just to throw in my guess about Hondata for A/T, I doubt it. The reason why I say that is because if you look at what Hondata has done in the recent past, they haven't done anything for A/T and at the current point doesn't look like they will be anytime soon. I doesn't mean that they won't do it, since in away they are being "sub-contracted" by Kraftwerks, so if Kraftwerks wants it, and if it's possible to do it, then I guess it would happen, assuming other factor don't out weight it like cost of development or something else. Again just my guess...

hondata HAS in fact done upgrades for a/t cars: the base 01-05 rsx and the TSX.

Opps, you are correct sir. I keep looking at, and focus on their tuning products, not so much on their reflash, as what the Fit would be. So I take that back, but hope that there isn't anything in the ECU that would prevent them from being able to do a reflash like the '05 TSX.

Just an FYI regarding the Weapon-R Intake Manifold;

The location where the vacuum hose T's off and connects to the supercard is currently eliminated in the Weapon R design (maybe will change in the future as it also causes a CEL because not enough vacuum at the new routing location for the EGR to maintain sufficient flow). Probably will not work correctly with the supercard unless there is another vacuum location (If there is please tell me by the way).

This issue is still being resolved;

Let's just keep in mind that the 1 A/T kit that is sucessfully running is actually an M/T kit mounted in an auto-transmission Fit.

I'm not sure if it makes a difference in whether I personally will be needing the injector upgrade or not(J's Racing Header, J's Racing Cat-Back), but I have to ask since we'll be getting a different Rotrex supercharger than the M/T guys...

Can anyone at KraftWerks confirm this? I'm just confused and waiting with nervous anticipation at this point.

I think I'm still a little confused about how all this will work out and what I do or dont need, it will probably make a little more sense when the kit comes out. I do have another question thought, Right now I'm running the Spoon B-pipe and N1 axle back, I'm going to be getting the T1R header and maybe the T1R or J's convertor pipe, still undecided about that. Anyways I realy like my exhaust set up and I'm a little worried that it might not work to well with a Supercharger, what are your thoughts on that. Thanks again guys.

Should the injector upgrade work properly without a header/exhaust upgrade? Just curious. Sure, it may run a bit rich at WOT, but was it intended to work without CEL under that condition?

I'd like a bit of clarification.

The dyno where it makes 144whp is using a SuperChip (and upgraded injectors), right?

If so, I'd like to see a dyno of the same kit with the Hondata reflash. I assume that there would be some mid-band improvements.
