Joe's Picture Thread - K powered Fit -
I believe the article in Sport Compact Car a while ago showed a dyno of about 210whp in N/A format so it must be quite a bit faster with the supercharger. I would expect wheel spin to be a significant issue now right?
If I also remember correctly you guys used the k20z3 tranny with the factory lsd right?

) and the K20 was like...20lbs heavier. So i imagine that a Kswaped fit would be like a EK coupe (which is also around 2500lbs, dry) with a Bseries in it or something like that.

Yes Sir we used the Z3 tranny with factory LSD, and it has been doing a great job. for a factory LSD its perfect, were not anyware close to 300 hp and the factory lsd is going strong. I just make sure to maintain the oil changes, and tranny fluid changes more offten then usual.
Illmatic07 That EK is awesome, nice build! I take it, it isn't rocking the gold advans anymore.

Any vids of the car at the track with the k20 and supercharger installed?

I made a ricer flyby movie like 2 days ago of some in car action, but I need to get a movie production budget to film anything else, or I will get more hate PMs from members. so that won't be happening anytime soon

Its close to stock right now for daily driving. so I can clear speed bumps, but at the track its lowered. best setup is the one I am on now. So I can load the car with groceries, wife, baby and still make it over speed bumps and pot holes. lol

You said you didn't have the Fit stock long enough to know if the rear brakes were significant, but what about the weight increase in the front? Can you significantly tell that some of the handling was given up for the extra horses, or is it minor?

If someone was to install a K motor on a stock suspension, or even a FIT speced aftermarket suspension like the major namebrand companies. then yes you would notice the difference.
Progress suspension had made great strides to make sure the handeling of the fit was not comprimised with the swap, so I have personally tested 2 setups , the street system, and the full race system. I love the street system for daily driving.
anyone can contact Joey at progress to get the same system for there K swap fit.
jits14 If your looking to cool the fit down, I know mishimoto makes an aftermarket aluminum radiator for the fit but I am not sure how well it will fit with that supercharger on there.
