ASE - Certifying the Automotive Professional | Home

 

oh nice
thanks chris

 

lol not to brag but in 5 more months i will be considered a "ASE certified master automotive tech" lol i like to think i know my shit

 

i wish someone locally had this Kit in their Fit soI can check out before buying it. I am REALLY on the fence on this and want is ASAP.

 

hey come to the FLA and you can beat the hell out of mine. lol just buy it if you want ease of installness, fun to driveness, legalness and all around goodness then you need HKS. for a month now i have tried to find one thing wrong so i could bitch about something (i love to bitch) but i cant find one thing. perfectionness........

 

I do agree, This kit so far has been great from the min I opened the box to now, having the exhaust done. It has past how I thought the car would feel.
As for CERTIFIED, if you can follow instructions and some mechanical instinct you could install this kit. The instructions are very good and with Pics. you can't get much more straight forward.
I installed this kit in my garage over three nights, about 8 hours total. The finshed product looks so clean, no mess under the hood.
I would have done it at my job, but our installation bays are always tied up.

 

when i get a fit,
and i ever decide to go F/I
i'll probably get either the hks kit or the kraftwerks kit.
not really sure yet.
but actually,
by the time that happens, they may have something better!
who knows...

 

yes im a certified and that helped. but if you are some what good with cars and tools then you will have no problem. and lol RX it took me exactly 8 hours aswell and i did mine on a saturday did not run into any problems.

 

a big question is.. does it make the car fast? or just feel like you are driving a R18 Civic? Can it compete with a K20 Civic? or just add some pep to a good DD

 

the kit puts anywhere from 40 to 60 more HP to the wheels. so k20 civics no, faster more fun to drive fit a huge yes

 

we lose fog lights on this one though, right?

 

So taking into consideration this is a CARB legal kit and it does not have the extra goodies to make more power.

How much power could one expect if they bought the bolt on kit, added a catback exhaust, HKS BOV, upgraded injectors, and test pipe (cat delete)?

I would assume that the f-con would need to be retuned, but after doing all this what might the power numbers be?

What mods do you have with your kit? ~130-140whp? what are the torque numbers?

 

HKS Turbo kit - baller status

 

that's weird HKS one has a bigger turbo AR 63 compare to AR48
may be JDM L15 is different then USDM L15 ???

 

Whar crack r u smoking?

HKS states approx 30% increase WITH upgraded spark AND their exhaust!!!

what do u think 30% of 90ish WHP is?
hint: it's 30 hp!!


40 hp is 30% MORE then 30 hp!!!
60 hp?!?!?!?!?!? 60 hp is almost a 70% increse (nearly double the stock hp to the wheels)

please, we all like the hks kit, but u insult everybody's intelligence with your "national enquirer" style reporting

out of curiousity what do u think your car does in the quarter? 12's?

 

i wouldn't call it that
it's the cheapest form of FI you can get for the Fit

HKS Turbo Kit = Budget Status

don't get me wrong, HKS makes wonderful parts but
it will take some work for it to compete with the T1R turbo kit's numbers.


i'd say the Top Fuel L15 that revs to 8K with the T1R Turbo Kit = Baller Status
