Honestly the resonator in your b-pipe won't do much to quiet your exhaust down once you go with a cat delete, I've found that switching from an N1 style muffler like my J's Racing axle bsck to something along the lines of the Apex WSII, Fujitsubo Wagolis, Megan Racing, Tanabe's offering(cant think of the name right now), etc. type mufflers do ALOT to make the exhaust note more liveable.

 

yeah i agree. to echo what wave said, its all about reliability. i agree, the turbo, especially from tr1, makes more power out of the box. but its a big hassle to install compared to the kwsc, which is just straight up plug and play.

its a good solution to someone who doesn't feel like getting a newer or even different, faster car, and just wants that extra something to make them want to hang on to their fit for awhile.

 

Tranny cooler's installed, will post pics later. The car does feel smoother, but also a bit heavy? Don't know if I'm describing that the right way. Anyways, I'll re-dyno the car at Kraftwerks in the near future.

 

should i run a heavier oil? i'm runing synthetic eneos oil 5w-20w.

how about an oil cooler? i just might get one and a catch can too. probably a good idea

 

Sorry, not willing to take the front bumper off. Both coolers were hard mounted next to each other, meaning no zipties and about a half-inch space between them and the radiator...

 

aren't you concerned thought that now the Radiator will not get enough air flow?

 

Nice clean install usmc0341!

By the way, the 195cc injectors arrived today. I'm having them installed tomorrow morning.

 

thats a good question. x2

 

If everything was ziptied together or stacked one on top another, then yes. Luckily hard mounting both coolers allowed a 1/2 inch gap between them. This plus the fins provides plenty of space for air to go through the coolers and radiator. Remember, our radiator has a large surface area like the old 94-99 Integras...it's not like the small ones 92-95 Civics would have.

I'm confident enough that everything will receive adequate airflow, but worse-case scenario I'll get a Scangauge to keep tabs on it.

 

You need a grille to protect those babies from debris!!

 

That's exactly how mine is set up and i have been running it for a while now. no problems. And i have a scangauge to monitor it.

 

hey leonine, can u explain how u got the MT kit to work for the AT kit, im curious b.c. i just wanted to know if there were any differences for installation since i might be buying from a MT owner for my AT fit

 

OK, I gotcha. That does make sence and the other guys says hes running with no problems.

I got a question for any one with the KWSC, have any of you guys had problems with your stock spark plugs? My car was miss firing, making no boost and flashing a check engine light Yesterday. I was freaking out a bit so I took it to the shop that did the install. After a quick look at it and a call to Kraftwerks he put on one step colder plugs. Im just wondering have any one else had that problem or are running colder plugs?

 

any mpg numbers? i know you guys arent necessarily concerned about that, but im just curious

and i cant wait for the end of the month when i get mine

 

rumor has it jdmchris.com is getting something like 35-40mpg. can someone confirm that?

 

Never had problems with my spark plugs, but when it's time to replace them I do intend to go one step colder like you MNfit.

My mpg is pretty much the same as stock (30+), except now I'm running on 92 octane instead of the original 87.

 

sweet thats good to hear!

 

Stopped by "gettinafit's" shop yesterday and had the 195cc injectors installed as well as the Megan testpipe. All I can say is wow! It has more of everything that makes the original A/T KWSC kit pretty damn good. The cat's were a major choke point in the exhaust, the car effortlessly accelerates on demand now.

Even with 2 people in the car, gettinafit and I couldn't get over how much more torque was available. Driving in S Mode with paddles will definitely make you a happy camper. At highway speeds when I used to drop down to 3rd all I do now is drop to 4th. There's plenty of power everywhere in the shiftrange, not that it was bad with the stock injectors and catylitic convertor in place, it's just much better than before.

The only problem is that the testpipe will make your car significantly louder, at the track that is, so consider replacing any N1 style muffler can with something else(Apex WSII for me!). You will get noticed but I'll take the louder exhaust note for the tremendous improvement the butt dyno is feeling. The car absolutely sings in 3rd and 4th gear anywhere above 3500 rpm's!

Currently I have no idea what kind of mpg's I'm getting. This Fit is definitely GO so I'm sure I lost a couple. I'm OK with that.

I'll get some actual dyno's ASAP but it's gonna be awhile with my hectic work schedule.

 

damn sounds good!
cant wait for the dyno.

 

Very nice! I'm excited to see what you make on the dyno. By any chance could you get some sound clips of your car under full throttle, normal driving and at 3,000 rpm. I would realy like to get this upgrade but the increased noise is what is kind of making me hesitate. I absolutely love my Spoon exhaust and the only thing I have ever realy thought of changing it with was the J's exhaust.
