L13a turbokit?

I need some more power So i'm willing to buy a turbokit for my Jazz GD1 (european )

And that's why i have some questions..


-What are the differences between a turbokit for the L15a and the L13a1?
-Is there a turbokit specially for the L13a1?
-What do i need extra, when i order a L15a turbo kit? do i need to do some extra modifications? or is it plug and play?
- Do i need another ecu? conversion harness? easy to tune? (obd?)


Many thanks

I know a few people who make a turbo kit for the GD Jazz/Fit that will fit either the L13A or L15A.

SPEEDLAB | The Science of Speed

The contents of the kit are listed on that webpage. For tuning, Speedlab uses a Dastek Unichip piggyback fuel controller to adjust air/fuel ratios - the tuning is the important bit really.

They made a variant of this kit that doesn't use a 5th injector - instead, it swapped the stock injectors for larger ones from a CR-V, if I'm not mistaken. An acquaintance of mine had it installed and he said that larger-injector variant has greater scope for tuning.

You could duplicate the parts pretty easily but you're on your own for the tuning and turbo-specific intake manifold.

Thanks

Why should i need a 5th injector with other kits? Can't i just buy me some bigger injectors?

I've seen some kits on ebay, but don't waht i should think of those kits

Kraftwerks has a kit for a usdm fit ( L15) but think it is too expensive... I'm searching for a 2000$-3000$ kit... Is this available somewhere?

It's for the fuelling. Either way looks acceptable. As long as you're feeding the engine enough petrol, it shouldn't matter whether you run a fifth injector or get bigger ones than stock.

Hahaha! It's not unique to the Fit mind you, I know there are MX-5/Miata owners who've run a fifth injector in their turbo setups as well. If it works for them, it should be viable for our cars too.
