Supp guys I've had this '07 Fit for a bit now and was wondering about some Good modding/swapping/etc ideas that will fit well with this model. Also that as I've read that VTEC kicks in at around 3,5 RPMs but you can't really feel the kick and wanted to know if it was a special VTEC for economic use.

There is plenty of information on this forum about all of your options. Simply utilize the search function or browse through all of the categories. When modifying your Fit it is important to first set up a comfortable budget and then make a plan of action from there.

I personally would love to swap in a K20Z3 into my Fit but I just don't have a budget for it. So I have done some research and came up with a modification path that I can afford. Although it was not the path I wanted I have learned that I really enjoy doing the simple stuff. Personally, I would not change a thing on my Fit.

Therefore it is really up to you to decide what path you want to take. Whether it be forced induction, naturally aspired, or even cosmetic changes. The most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing and to build it for you.

 

Only half of the intake valves are opening until the VTEC transition occurs.. What you feel if anything is a slight drop in power and gradually comes back and climbs higher if the throttle is close to being wide open, that is what is seen on dyno charts.. When you are light on the throttle you hardly notice the change until you get down on the throttle... With a power to weight ratio of right at 1 HP to 22.9 Lbs it takes a little while to gain speed... Like most Honda engines you need to keep it revved up high to make power... You have to adjust to the lack of power by planning ahead and picking up speed before trying to pass someone and get used to shifting up and down to stay on the power band when in freeway traffic.. These little cars will top out at about 115 MPH and average as high as 38 MPG driving 75 or 80.. You'll experience much higher G forces when rounding corners or braking than doing wide open throttle 0 to 60 runs... Once you are up to speed you can maneuver in traffic with ease and stay ahead of faster cars that aren't as nimble and quick handling... The only performance modification I recommend is ultra light wheels and tires to enhance acceleration, braking and handling as well as drive train, suspension, steering and brake longevity... Swift Mach springs slightly lower the car but have close to the same amount of travel as the stock springs so they don't shorten the life of the dampers... If you want to go faster forced induction is about the only option and a costly one at that.... Welcome to the Funny Farm For Fit Freaks....
