Trying to get an idea of what people are paying to get their S/C installed. Also if you have auto or manual. Thanks!

 

in my opinion, if you have tools and are are technically capable.....do the install yourself. when boosting a car, you may run into problems eventually and doing the install yourself with help you understand how everythign works and the layout of your engine.
it may take a little longer, but if you follow the instructions, it shouldnt be too difficult.

 

my friend is going to help me do mine since he has all the tools.. the instructions are really good.

 

Ok then, second question. How long did it take if you did it yourself?

 

^i dont know...i dont have the kraftwerks kit. lol.

 

ive heard and seen that it is very easy to follow the instructions during install.. and on the instructions it says 4-8 hours

 

I payed $800 for the KWSC Kit a header and two dyno runs. Not ever one has the tools/time/space to do it there self. I only have one car and cant afford to have it down for to long. If I had a secondary car and the space I probable would have done the install my self, looking at the directions they look easy to fallow and understand.

 

Approx. $800.00 from "Gettinafit's" shop.

Don't have the tools nor am I technically capable but I can rack in some serious overtime cash so that makes me pretty dangerous everytime payday comes around.

Mine is an A/T with the injector upgrade. My car is a daily driver of about 120 miles a day, no issues or problems so far but I am starting to get the itch for something a "bit more".

In no way am I complaining one bit about the KWSC as it makes a stock Fit very enjoyable and if this is as far as I can go with an AT Fit then so be it. It's still great!

 

all the prices ive seen are around 700-800 like MNfit and Wave.. so theyre right on.

and i wouldnt mind seeing a high boost kit for us AT guys

 

True story.

 

i paid my friend to do it in my backyard $160 to install it in. i have a MT

 

pay me $800 dollars!!
ill pay for your gas to drive to my place, and your trip back home, ill buy you lunch at Red Lobsters a give you free massage and ill give you a $200 dollar rebate! lol

 

I paid a little over $700 for install and dyno runs. Mine's auto btw.

 

I almost fell off the couch.

 

Can anyone recommend a mechanic/shop that has already done a KW SC install on the Fit in socal (preferably with dyno tests available)? I'm about ready to plunk down some cash to get the SC but need to know where I can get the job done properly and within a day (so pretty much people who are familiar with this specific installation).

 

I recommend Mark Dibella over at MD Automotive. He's done at least 3 if I remember correctly, including mine. He's also close to you and has worked with the Jacksons forever.

Thanks, I was considering them from the short list available from KW site.

Above you said you paid around $700 for installation & dyno runs - how long did everything take? Thanks in advance.

 

I dropped mine off for the weekend. But I'm sure he can do it in a day. Just depends if you have any other add-ons like a tranny cooler, etc.

 

Maybe I should pick up a tranny cooler and have that installed as well while I'm at it. I'm always stuck in traffic and it's started to get burning hot again.

 

sorry that im going off topic.

All you s/c AT fits. im wondering how much hp are u guys pushing out.

just a thought.
