Hi Guys,

Thought I should introduce myself first. I'm Ron, a fit freak from down under who is planning on picking one of these babies up and turning it into the most practical pocket rocket here. Firstly, I've been salivating over the thought of the KWSC high-boost kit, however I know that its for USDM models.

If there are any aussies here, has anyone tried to use this kit or others on their jazz/fit, and with what degree of sucess? I'm sorry if someone has asked this question before, I know that this is a USDM kit only, however if there are any good alternatives, I'm all ears.

I'll be popping up a few forums around here, so hope you can put up with me while I ask a series of n00b questions.

Thanks in advance,
Ron

 

Welcome Ron!

I'm not an expert, so please don't take this as absolutely right but if you have the 1.5 VTEC engine with MT, you should be able to use it. I asked some distributors concerning the AUDM/EDM front end and I was told that certain modifications concerning the intercooler and piping are needed.

Hopefully this information helps!

We tested the Intercooler system on JDM front-end Fits here in the US to make sure the system fit. It does.

I would be more concerned about how it fits RHD. Also, tuning would be up to you because the reflash is USDM only.

the opening for the cowl scoop is on the opposite side

 

That too. You'd need the USDM cowl.

Cheers for the advice everyone, much appreciated. I'll do a bit mroe research Re: ECU tuning, and will have to return here with some more questions. Thanks again.

 

Hi all,

Firstly, it's been a while since I followed up on this, variety of reasons for the delay in purchase.

I Just wanted to ask one more question regarding whether I need a GD of a particular age. I know there was a minor facelift on the GD's from 2005, but do I need a specific model in order for the s/c to fit? As far as I can see, that shouldn't be an issue since it's the same engine for the vti's. Reason I ask this is because I've seen an 04 vti at a price that's tough to refuse.

Thanks Again all.

 

as long as it is a L15 motor the year doesnt matter. The only concern is the RHD status.
