Engine went "boom" yesterday
Fit Engine goes BOOM

 

Installed the second cross bar which I didn't do last time.

 

Yeah how did they fit? They didn't work well for my vehicle as well as another. Passenger mount had to be fully modified to work.

 

Got my winter tires mounted on GSR blade

 

I didn't install them. but the shop that did said they went in with a fight. But nothing needed to be modified. A/T Fit.

 

Ugh. GSR blades look so good on everything. Awesome winter wheels

 

Interesting. I'm curious how they made that passenger side fit correctly without making the engine twist any. Possible redialed the holes?! I know there was no way to use the billet bracket provided from Innovative. Did they use the OE bracket like Tyler and I did?

 

Sorry for not replying fast enough, I just decided to go on FF and seen your comment. I made the canards myself with sheet metal and small L brackets. I wrapped it with carbon fiber 5D vinyl. I actually have another canard deign which is much clean looking but I'm lazy to make it. The front end does look busy but I wanted to achieve that that time attack look. Plus, I got bored looking like everyone else hahaha but it's more then looks, its purpose is function also.

 

This wasn't done today but done about a month or so ago. I painted the rear progress sway bar red, with hint of shimmer to it. Can't really see the shimmer but at least I know it hahah Since the install, I've noticed improvements immediately. Guess with the rear sway bar and interior bars, they work together I guess. Future plans is to get the Tanabe front lower arm bar and maybe 24mm front sway bar. Would have gotten the Cusco front lower arm bar but read it doesn't fit USDM models but the Tanabe does.

 

Looks good. I have a blox FSB i'm selling if you've interested. I'll give you a good deal on it if you want it now. DM me.

 

what brand is the rear bar you installed f it good?
I like that its up out of the way

 

Finally got BR coilovers

Hey everyone that wants to join in the fun here in SoCal! Come have some fun with us.

 

earlier this year i have a different set of rims now though but ive already swapped over to the winters #Canada



hit up a beach and was able to pull this off. Result: cozy af

 

I did this yesterday. I still need to move the A/C lines, route the charge piping, cut 2 oil lines, prime/leak check the system and break in.

 

DUDEEEEE!!! I'm jealous.

hootie looks like the hard parts done have you had the kraftwerks kit or just find and buy one?
Do you have flashpro reflash ecu or the flashpro standalone for your kraftwerks

 

I purchased an intercooler kit from a member here as well as a manual base kit from someone else. CHUNKED the restrictor insert that came with the manual kit, acquired 310cc injectors and effectively pieced together the high boost kit.

I'm running Flash Pro as engine management since the Hondata reflash is for manual transmission only (my GD is automatic) and I couldn't find a S/C base map that was identical to the KWSC HB's. PLUS... I wanted to drive my GD ASAP so I used the closest base map I could find, set autotune and went for a LIGHT drive around the parking lot then later to the street as the datalogging/autotuning progressed.

So far the car is stupid fun... You don't hear the Rotrex very much at idle thanks to my full exhaust. On light boost/partial throttle the car sounds like it has a bad power steering pump to the causal/unknowing onlooker (think like most 90s/00s Fords), under WOT it sounds amazing. It just freight trains (for a Fit) after 4k to 7.1k.

I do still need to do some clearance adjustments with my A/C hose, adjust the tension on my drive belt (it slips), and discovered a bit of an oil leak for the Rotrex's oiling system. Just little details now

 

awesome!

I'm waiting for my appointment with a local shop for my install:


I'm automatic as well too. Have RDX injectors and Evo X fuel pump. Hondata Flash Pro, AEM AFR, DEI oil pressure & water temperature gauge, transmission cooler all pieced together for my install.

Do you mind sharing the base tune you found?

 

The base map is the "Base 310cc KWSC" or something along those lines in the calibration selections. Select that (adjust injector size if RDX is larger), switch from NA columns to Boost columns, enable your live tuning tables, click datalogs, record, AND finally upload.

Once upload is complete, you can activate auto tune and putter around as FP gets things into a decent ball park.
