This makes me so excited to get the ball rolling on a kit for my GD!

[@unequal_fabrication]

Its pretty easy, you can definitely do it over a weekend. 10/10 would recommend. I've got a couple of turbo kits to build here in the next couple weeks. Gonna get mine knocked out while I'm at it.

[@jimmygee7065]

Everyone keeps telling me I don't have the car for it, but after watching gingium and sebs garage videos. Now unequal fabrication, who makes these kits available! Definitely going to save up and buy one of these kits. These fits are too fun to drive not to make them a lil faster 😅

[@unequal_fabrication]

A little boost goes a long way. Just a little extra power makes a big difference and makes these cars a lot more fun. Plus the noises 👌

[@rezo2599]

Just wanna say this is amazing bro! I still got a few things to do to my gd but this will definitely be a future upgrade

[@unequal_fabrication]

Thanks man! It's definitely worth it. It completely changes the car

[@josepaniagua9936]

Man can’t wait to one day get one for my lil fit

[@unequal_fabrication]

It's such a good time, it completely changes the car!

[@daveroy9906]

Amped to see your business grow💯💥🤙

[@unequal_fabrication]

It's been a journey and it all started with you ❤️

[@daveroy9906]

Yessir

[@LuLuTheFerret]

Sounds like you have orders closed, but im currently building a fit and will want to turbo it in the next year or two... Ill definitely be reaching out!

[@karlwilliamson1775]

I like this I was thinking of keeping mine N/A but a few extra ponies would be a treat as I wanna convert my Jazzbei into a time attack daily runner. I'm in the UK and watching what you've done makes me think it's doable , do take sales for UK GG6/ GE8 L13Z1

[@unequal_fabrication]

Hi! The kit would physically fit a uk spec ge, the only "real" challenge would be tuning. I'm not sure what you guys have for tuning options.

[@kumingo]

Might get that kit soon.

[@unequal_fabrication]

I make them to order but they're up on the website 👍

[@lltysonll]

I’m in Savannah not too far from you. Might have to go there take a ride in the turbo fit. See if it’s worth it.

[@unequal_fabrication]

@lltysonll sounds good man! It's such a good time

[@RaffiJaharian]

Would love one of these kits but running without Cats is a no go where I live since we do emissions testing.

[@unequal_fabrication]

A cat could be added if you wanted

[@hamie63_m]

Any kit in the works for the GK?? I like your work I wish I found your header before getting the suoer curcuit one. When I'm done with my current project I'd love to turbo my Fit

[@unequal_fabrication]

I could make one, but to my knowledge, there isn't an easy way to tune the gk for boost.

[@hamie63_m]

​@@unequal_fabrication I see! Maybe by then someone figures it out lol

[@inthelabwithlucy364]

Way sick man. My ge8 is a/t with the paddle shift, this kit be good to go?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I haven't test fitted one on an automatic but I purposely designed it to not run close to where the transmission is to be able to fit and automatic. The transmission can definitely handle it though.

[@inthelabwithlucy364]

Pretty sick man

[@erickhernandez8303]

Will you be making another video with tune to see what potential this turbo can do on the 2nd gen Fit

[@unequal_fabrication]

This car was tuned on 6psi on the stock motor and made 160hp. The owner just recently built the motor (forged pistons and rods) and is currently at 10psi and we're slowly working our way up to 20psi

[@erickhernandez8303]

@@unequal_fabrication are we able to use a different brand turbo with your kit or the one that comes supplied with it?

[@unequal_fabrication]

@erickhernandez8303 If you get the turbo from me they have an adjustable Internal wastegate which helps keep things simple. But if you look in this video the customer opted to run a cheaper unit and run an external wastegate. If you want to run a different turbo you'll want to get the external wastegate. It's a gamble most of the time on what the Internal wastegate is actually set at with the cheaper units with non adjustable wastegates. I also slightly modify the wastegate braket on the Internal wastegates to clock the turbo. I offer the kits with and without the turbo in case you want to source your own

[@mattbeats310]

I have an automatic honda fit hybrid Rs1.5 ivtec 2013. Is it possible to upgrade and have turbo manifold exhaust and ecu on automatic?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I haven't test fitted my kit on an automatic but I purposely didn't run any piping near the transmission for it to work with an automatic. And it's possible to tune the automatic as well.

[@dimelo2live]

When will you have this kit back in stock?

[@unequal_fabrication]

Hi! I currently have the ordering on the site closed. I'm really backed up on orders and trying to get caught back up some as well as we just had a baby and needing to devote more time to my family for a little bit.

[@phantom2488]

Do you offer a base map and full exhaust system ?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I include a base map with the kit and I make full exhast as well.

[@RezboaDog]

Does this work with your unequal length header? I have it, and love it, but i want this turbo kit.

[@unequal_fabrication]

No unfortunately the N/A unequal length header doesn't work with the turbo kit. I could make an unequal length turbo manifold though.

[@RezboaDog]

@@unequal_fabrication do you think the N/A unequal header would fit on a Honda CR-Z?

[@unequal_fabrication]

@@RezboaDog I'm not 100% certain. I'd just need to see some pics of back behind the motor to see if there would be any clearance issues.

[@nathocbwalya5946]

Where did you get the turbo kit from?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I make them, they're on my website 👍

[@datlax8235]

If possible, how much would you charge to install this full kit? Traded my 05 Cooper S and now I've got an 09 Fit Sport MT. Kinda miss having extra oomph in a lil go kart.

[@unequal_fabrication]

Install would probably be around $800

[@datlax8235]

@@unequal_fabrication so for roughly $2,800 I could have my 09 turbo and tuned?

[@unequal_fabrication]

@datlax8235 I believe it would be closer to $4300 with the cost of the kit, turbo, injectors, fuel pump, oil lines, k tuner, and installation.

[@datlax8235]

⁠@@unequal_fabrication so... Safe to say $4,500 would do it all? With your install?

[@unequal_fabrication]

@@datlax8235 yeah

[@tylerwitmer3769]

what does the tune you have there make for boost pressure, and is there a link to the tune for purchase too? never tuned before either so how easy is the tune upload process?

[@tylerwitmer3769]

thing sounds amazing and seems like it scoots long pretty good too

[@unequal_fabrication]

The tune is good for 10psi. Tuning with k tuner isn't too hard. If you order one of my kits the tune is included. In the video it's only on like 4psi. We eventually turned it up to 10psi. And yeah it was pretty quick even on 4psi.

[@alexcalderon4508]

Damn thanks for making this so easy. Ljterally you installed a turbo with 1 hand and recorded with the other. Thanks a lot bro ill see if i can order this soon.

[@unequal_fabrication]

@alexcalderon4508 I've seen the horror stories of kits not fitting on other cars and I've had people bring me their car and the turbo kit that's supposed to fit their car and I have to rework the whole thing to get it to fit. It takes an incredible amount of time but I aim to make it as easy as possible for the end user.

[@teknoadikt]

does it work on the l13z1 ?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I haven't confirmed fitment but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't.

[@hondagerm24]

How good are these kits ?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I might be biased since I'm the one that makes them, but it's the highest quality turbo kit you're going to find for a fit.

[@princexiong3091]

On the site, what's the difference between the turbo kit and the turbo install kit?

[@unequal_fabrication]

The install kit (oil feed and drain lines, fuel pump and injectors) are the parts I don't make or modify and you're more than welcome to go source them from somewhere else. Most people are unsure what they need so I offer it as an option.

[@princexiong3091]

Ohhhh, thanks that's helps a lot

[@princexiong3091]

I'm assuming I would need to get both the "turbo kit" and 'turbo install kit" to install it on my car correct?

[@princexiong3091]

I'm assuming I need to purchase both to install it on my car correct?

[@unequal_fabrication]

@princexiong3091 you will need the upgraded fuel system and oil feed and drain lines whether you get them from me or source them from somewhere else.

[@frankag227]

Same for GD3?

[@unequal_fabrication]

The turbo manifold is different but the install is very similar. I'll be making a video about the gd3 install here in the next month or 2

[@frankag227]

@@unequal_fabrication okay thanks i will be getting a kit

[@hasaniathil5859]

Will this work on jdm rhd ge8?

[@unequal_fabrication]

I haven't confirmed, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't.

[@hasaniathil5859]

Cool I may look into one of these kits in the future, I have a 2012 rs facelift I wanna turbo badly

[@Mochiiii]

How much power is the kit? I didn’t catch but, is the car stock exhaust after downpipe?

[@unequal_fabrication]

The car has the stock midpipe with a resonator and muffler delete. In the videos the car is only on like 2 or 3 psi while I was doing a base tune. It was dyno tuned later and made 160 on 6psi. There's definitely more to be had with a larger exhaust

[@Mochiiii]

Thank you for the info. Been interested and was unsure of stuff til this video. Definitely looking to pick on up soon.

[@unequal_fabrication]

@Mochiiii with my kits I aim to make them as simple as possible to install. And if you've got any questions just shoot me a message and I'll get back to you pretty quick.

[@freshdinh3]

I love that you’re making parts for this car 😭😭😭😭😭

[@TripswithJWD]

How much

[@unequal_fabrication]

You can expect to spend around $3500 for everything including tuning software.
