Default fit motor in del sol?

I was wondering. I don't want turbo, its just not my personal style. I wanted to go supercharger, and the only one I saw worth getting imho was the jackson racing one made at kraftworks. They have 2 for honda motors, the K series, which for me is WAY to expensive (swap) and the honda fit.

So, what motor is in the honda fit? (1.5l manual)

Has it been done yet?

Why not just do a d16 with supercharger or a b16 with supercharger... Those would be easier on the checkbook, and can still be smog legal.

well, the old school jackson racing supercharger would go on that no? The new one is rotrex and produces WAY more power....

Edit: also the d16 superchargers are hard to come by?

http://www.importparts.com/shop/shop...acturers_id=30

and that's if that's a legit site.... and legit price.....

The Fit has an L15 which is a 1.5L. As for this swap you are thinking of, no one to my knowledge has done it.

Just for curiosity sake, why would you want to swap a Fit L15 into a Del sol when there are so many other options out there?

B-series have a great supercharging system from Jackson Racing also not to mention D-series are quite capable. Plus these motors are relatively easy to swap into your Del Sol and are proven.

question would then be, where to find a credible website known to not be fake and sell a JRSC for a d16z6...?

or other super charger kits....

It's not that hard, check Ebay or let me make it super easy for you.. GOOGLE it!

Check out Moss Motors/ Superchargers.com....

Do you want me to search the internet for you too?

Buy a used one, send it in to be refurbished to new factory specs, and bam! New supercharger with zero miles!

Also it's really hard to "fake" a JRSC system....

superchargers are lots of $ for not that much power. For the money, you'd be better off doing a B series swap if you won't turbo. I'm not a huge fan of turbos, but they are the best way of making power on an import
