Reading up on the forums i noticed hks makes a turbo kit for the jazz in thailand as well as japan.. DOes anyone know if that very same kit will fit the usdm fit?

 

I dont think anything is out yet for the NA

 

Grredy is supposed to be making on..

 

a custom kit wouldnt be too bad, contact ssautochrome.com see if they will do a turbo manifold.


edit: exhuast comes off on the firewall side? Is there room for a turbo back there?

 

standing by on a turbo kit myself...although I wouldn't mind a supercharger kit either...

 

Really WAVE?

 

Heck yeah, who do you think I have in mind for installing it!

 

Probably some FORD Tech.... hehehehehe

 

there is enough room back there, being as top fuel already has a kit for it aswell., and being as i know most of us have seen custom kits, we know there is more then enough room.

 

Mujen makes a supercharger for the Fit. Wonder if it will fit ours.

 

roots type? might be interesting should give plenty of torque. Figured there was room just wondering.

 

custom is route to take, but i will wait for a bolt-on if it comes out...i am not looking to make crazy HP just a little more pep for the FIT...i would say that the FIT whether SC or turbo it will be tons of fun to drive...

 

I just wonder how easily the intercooler will hook up considering the amount of space...

 

i'll take the mujen SC over a turbo any day of the week.

 

If you are running the turbo on the 1.5L, it'll be low to mid-boost. So a side mounted intercooler should be sufficient.

The Mugen SC looks cool but considering that it's Mugen ($$$$$$$$$$) and with such a conservative power gain (145hp total), I would go with a bolt in Turbo kit or a swap.

True about the $$$$. IMHO i would think that you get what you pay for. I think the Mugen SC would be much more reliable as a daily driver than an aftermarket turbo. I personally would never turbo a vehicle (unless it came that way from the factory) without strengthening the internals and then you're talking about $$$ anyway.

 

109HP vs 145HP...I don't know if I'd call that a conservative power gain!

Either way I'll let you know when I get one hooked up to my car.

 

I/H/E on a fit will probably gain only 5% -15% hp. if you have already installed I/H/E and feel a power difference, +33% from a supercharger will not feel conservative.

 

Guys, adding 20hp to the Fit, you WILL FEEL IT. Getting 145hp out of SOMETHING will be a GREAT improvement.

As long as the weight stays around 25-2600lb, 145hp, especially to the wheels, will get up and go pretty well! I'd be willing to wager a 2600lb car with 145hp would feel like a 3000lb car with 200hp.

 

I'll tell you what's funny - i was at a stop light last night and pulled up to some kid in a 5.0 supercharged. I heard the whine of the SC while sitting next to him...so i do what all of us JDM freaks do - I revved my lil` 1.5 "MYT4CYL" (which btw is my license plate) anyhow the light turned green and I didn't even have any intentions of dropping the clutch - but he did. And he dropped it so fast he stalled right in the intersection - guess you had to be there...i just rolled past him...alright...going on forever again CHAO!
