They are 185CC injectors so almost no difference.

The original upgrade was 205CC and they lowered it since the 205CC ones made the cars run too rich and throw a code.

I would recommend just leaving the car fairly stock with the KWSC and waiting for the hondata upgrade and much bigger injectors since you won't find a 185 to 195CC injector upgrade really that worth it.

btw Leonine and I were the first 2 to install this kit outside of KW so we know them very well. I installed the one on Illusive's car if that matters.

Blitz Throttle Controller

jsensk,
As the Blitz TC goes you have to use very little throttle compared to before. You can be driving along and turn it on and it like you gave it allot more throttle. Even OJR was impressed with it on my car. It may not be for everybody but I sure as H_ll like it.
Anything else let me know.

AC

hmmm...but if i remember correctly, the old base kit with upgraded injectors made significantly more power, even if they were just 205's. i mean, the kit was putting out about as much hp as the tr1 turbo, and that thing, will running .5 lbs of boost less, has 310 cc injectors.

every bit helps. especially if the upgrade is not all that bad pricewise

BLITZ Throttle Controller-- INSTALLED!

KWSC and Blitz Throttle Controller FTMFW!!! Wow-- that is cool! Too much fun-- I can't believe what a difference the Blitz TC made- even in SP2, but SP3 is the bomb! That thing lives up to the hype.

My dorky little AT has come a long way. It is truly a fun car to drive now. All I could say to myself when I punched it after installing the Blitz today was "it's about time!" I have dropped a pretty penny on bolt-ons that frankly did nothing in search of what I have finally achieved. Yes, it was expensive, but you only live once and I got to tell you: I have an affection for this car that is downright weird. While I do severely regret not having MT, I wouldn't trade what I have done to this little car so far. I really enjoy it. I got my future sights on an STI (I need the wagon for the family), but right now I like my Fit.

I can't wait for my next AutoX event in January to really put it to the test. FI should love our brisk-but-not-too-cold winters here on the Gulf Coast.

i still dont understand too well the blitz throttle controller, does it advance the timing of the dbw? making it react quicker?

It is very easy to install: disconnect the plug at the top of the gas pedal, and plug the TC in. It has Male/Female plugs you connect between the connector and throttle,That’s it! Now all you have to do is mount the small gauge and hide the control box.
I put the control box behind the front of the center console and the guage over the Side Air bag light.And have fun. I think it fools the computer into thinking it has more throttle with less pedal.
Hope this helps.

Yes-- I like it. EXTREMELY easy to install-- only hard part is getting down underneath to above the pedal area.

Looks like you can get it from Pann/BJ. I got mine from Horsepowerfreaks.com, probably paid too much ($370), plus had it overnighted cause I'm crazy like that. I am not Mr. Shoparound, though and that place took PayPal, which I needed.

The KW MT kit installed on Chris' car made 142whp with bolt ons and a test pipe. The injector upgrade does nothing to give the car more power it only makes it have more fuel because other parts bolted to the engine are making it breathe better and getting more power.

Just for the record the T1R turbo kit at 4.5psi makes about 145-150whp and I have a friend making 170whp with his at 8.5psi at 3500 feet of altitude...

There is no comparison guys, the turbo kits out there right now make much more power but the power delivery is very different from the SC and Turbo setups.

The KW SC will probably be a great kit in a couple years but no one knows the limits of the block yet and they are being very cautious with their tuning. The power figures are conservative right now and will remain that way until they can find a more effective way of controlling the Fit's ECU through Hondata, THEN we'll see some better power figures.

what hp numbers does the auto version of the t1r turbo kit put down. comparing auto FI to manual FI is just not right cause of the differance in the power transfer.

Why do you Turbo and MT guys keep coming in here and telling us its such a wast of time and that the Turbo is so much better then a S/C? We all have your response for modding the Fit the way we do. The last thing we want to here is how much of a wast of time it is, expestion from people in your own group

LOL, there's always an arguement with the S/C and turbo's it seems. They both have different power bands and no you cant compare AT vs MT. MT is better hands down, but can't say an AT isn't going to produce some power. As for Jsensk install, congrats. I've been wanting to actually ride in his car to see differences in the way the car handles. I'll have to do that next time I'm in Houston. I think the only issue with this one I saw was the big pipe was hitting the roof of the hood. How much play does the pipe have on those?

would installing the j's racing hood help keep that pipe cool enough to affect the power? i wonder how much an intercooler would affect the sc?
