50 or 75, I've got to check the plugs with the 75 to see how they look. To get a good reading I'd have to go on a dyno so I could do a pull then immediately shut the car off and check them. Hard to do that within the city. I have used the 75 shot twice starting at 3500 rpm and in first gear the clutch just slips, 2nd gear pulls hard! I will try starting at 4000 rpm at the track this weekend and so if that makes a difference. Plus I could Check the plugs there more easily I would think.

I'm also interested in some NA runs to see what it'll do off the juice.

 

Going to the drag strip for the first time in this car on friday or saturday. Hopefully have time to do a few NA and nitrous runs and get some video.

 

Well here is my best run at the strip. Room for improvement but glad I got into the 14 second range.


I have it on video and will post it when photo bucket begins to work correctly.

Best run all motor was a 16.0 with a 2.3 60ft. Would be in the 15's with practice.

 

Video of my only nitrous run.

 

Installed a used set of Honda Access Window vent visors I got on my trip to Japan:

 

Working on a direct port conversion for even nitrous distribution. Here is what I have so far while a spare intake manifold is on the car.








Also have an Innovate PSN-1 gauge coming. Its an RPM window switch, wideband AF, nitrous bottle pressure and fail safe gauge. If it runs too lean or too rich it'll shut down.
Added a Blox EGR block off plate for looks too.

fantastic read, fantastic mods. Two questions about those RCI seats. Where do you get them in Canada (I"m in Toronto) and any idea what the stock driver's seat weighs?

 

Thanks very much! I'm not sure of a Canadian distributor for RCI, but summit racing has them and ship quickly. Thesession seats and more popular in the v8 muscle car/drag racing scene so I think any local domestic race shop could get them. The Kirkey aluminum seats are another option, more expensive but sturdier and weigh 10 lbs IIRC.

 

Oh and the stock seat is 40 or 50 lbs.

 

thanks very much devmail!

 

Looks awesome. I haven't played with nitrous in a long time. On direct port, and again it has been a while, but don't you want to run the foggers as close to the intake ports as possible? The Fit has some long runners and with the curve i'd imagine could effect the atomization of the spray because it has time to bounce around and collect. Curious to see if there are others that tested this.

 

Yes you are correct and I originally had holes drilled on the underside of the intake manifold for that reason. But then i read about reversion, which can happen if the nozzles are too close to the head, the nitrous pressure causes the mixture to spray back out away from the head since there is not enough distance between the too.

So, after talking to the guys at dynotune nitrous, they said the bends would pose no problem at anything below 200 hp per cylinder...and I decided for ease of plumbing to put the nozzles on top. It would have been a nightmare with the original location.

I got my Innovate psn 1 installed, now I just need more nitrous. One bottle lasted from May 2016 to January 2017 LOL. Ran out while testing the flow pattern on the direct port, which is vital because there are so many connections which could be leaking or a jet may be clogged resulting in low flow...both happened in my case and I never would have known otherwise. Pics soon and video when the bottle gets refilled.

Spray painted the floor flat black after removing some surface rust.

 

It had to be done. Lol

Keep up the progress!

 

F&F references will always be posted whenever nitrous is discussed, ive come to accept that...haha!

 

Acquired some used Innovative engine mounts (85A!) . Weighed them, and now getting resprayed.






total weight, not including bolts is 4057 g or almost 9 lbs. Lets see how the stock ones fair against these...

 

Mounts are repainted and ready for install tonight!


Also a while ago I repainted the interior floor of the car flat black, to cover up the ugly marks left behind from removing the sound deadening.

 

How'd the mount install go?
