Newbie question:

Can it be turbocharged?

 

short answer, yes.

 

thanks 4 the response

would i go about this by just purchasing a regular turbo kit or is there a special one?

 

some kits are tranny specific. like the supercharger kits.

 

AT wanting turbo--- T1R is about the only option isn't it?

 

there's HKS but it isnt CA legal, the MT one is legal, but not the AT

 

tr1 makes a kit for the a/t. you could build yours, but theres is the closest to bolt on.

or you could supercharge.


the supercharger makes 110 whp (dyno proven)
the tr1 turbo makes 135 (claimed)

 

Ok so if i supercharge can it still be done on an AT ?

also, i have abase fit i should have mentioned that before, the reasoning for my mentioning is that i went on to look at the Turbo you mentioned but it says its only for the sport model. Which i dont really understand because when you dont shift using the paddles it shifts for you ??

hmmm $3000 - $4000 for 20 - 45 WHP...

is the invesment worth it..

 

yeah kraftwerks does make one for the AT. and 20-45HP from a supercharger or turbo is all your going to get(also the bragging rights of being boosted). Lol. You might just want to go K-swap instead. But be ready to spend a ton of cash to compensate for the extra weight and power ie; axles and suspension blah blah

edit* 20-45HP is all your getting with just the Bolt-on. Theres boosted fits with over 200HP with additional modification to a turbo.

 

yeah the power isnt going to be AMAZING, but it will still be a great brag when i pull away and the d!ckHead behind me hears psssshhh come from my engine bay, haha... it will also, bring alot of unwanted attention... my car is all blacked out and my intake sounds like a lil beast and i get attention just for that... dudes driving Evos n STi's wana take a shot at me and i laugh n just turn my radio up cuz well they would smoke me... haha...


but anyways... so the kraftwerks doesnt require me to have the Sport model right? its says i need the -L15A AT Engine Only- do i have that? lol

i have a 2008 Fit Base Model, do i qualify for purchase ???

HAHAH. theyre scared of your Honda.

and...L15A AT Engine Only- do i have that? ...you sure do my friend

 

The difference between the Sport and Base are basically all Cosmetic, they both have the L15A engine. so yes you could get the Kraftworks supercharger

 

we here in Vancouver BC Canada have MANY turboed fits MT or AT...
not only we have T1R ... we also have HKS turboed fit !!

after a closer look at them both, 1wayfits 's HKS turbo and my (felixy69) T1R turbo kit.....i would say go for the HKS turbo kit as the fabrication is alot better...and only $2500usd compare to almost $4k cnd....
but only down side is the hks computer needs cannot be tuned....but i am sure you can throw in a emanage at any point. they both work for AT or MT... only differen't between the AT kit and the MT is the oil return, it has to clear the AT tranny....but the T1R AT oil return didn't fit on my AT tranny so i dunno what's the point.....

either way..if i could go again..i'd get the HKS kit !

and your question..." can AT be turbo" answer YES and i am running 0.6BAR with no problem

For the very insightful information, all of you have helped me move on to the serious chance of buying a kit for my Black Beauty, haha...



Haha, and yes my FIT does scare alot of other cars

 

gluck with the turbo thing dude. If i had a choice, I'd go with the HKS kit. Its the least expensive kit, carb certified, and just because of the JDM-ness of HKS

 

the tr1 should work fine on the base fit. if not i don't understand why they made the kit so picky.

the hks kit is cheap, but it runs the hottest out of all of these kits and while it may have clearance to fit the a/t, its not tuned for it or built for it, and i wouldn't invest in something that wasn't made exactly for my car.

the kraftwerks kit's numbers are only the base numbers, #'s with bigger injectors have yet to be release.

and out of all of these ONLY the kraftwerks is a direct bolt on.

 

there is an HKS for the automatic, but it isnt carb legal, only the manual one is carb legal... differences in tuning IIRC

 

got a link?
