all this talk about turbo charged cr-z

with all this talk about the hondas turbo for the cr-z next year, i been wondering if that means any opportunities for the fit as well? i read in one of the articles that the jazz might also get a turbo as well.

does that mean they only come in stock models? or do you think it would be possible to buy an oem honda turbo kit to throw on our cars?

What if I told you that an r18 turbo manifold can be modified to fit the GE8 and that I have already test fit one with a t25/28 attached and everything clears the engine and firewall.

remember how I said you can only work with one hand in back of the engine, well that tunnel of love right there is why.

Haha I gotcha

I thought all that turbo whistle and flutter was half the reason people put one on?

To be honest though, I sometimes forget my GD is running when idling after I have been in the Laser for a while.

Big cam (274* / .411" lift) + big turbo sucking through a 9" K&N attached to a 4" intake pipe, removed silent shafts, dumped wastegate and 2.5" ghetto fab straight pipe = deaf.

To each their own! I just like that I can drive the Fit after 9pm without waking up the neighborhood, which I am sure they appreciate.

Testing/adjusting the Anti-Lag or the two-step is also remarkably loud..
