Re: V6 Honda Fit Build
His first post clearly show's he made better progress, Anybody with a brain can see that OP was dedicated to finishing the project. Peope can get sidetrack with there current job status and life involving family/crisis. But as i always state when someone wants to start a project with some insane *** goals, you'll need money and time.

Re: V6 Honda Fit Build
Thanks everyone!
If I can keep up this pace she should be running 9s next spring
Tons of progress this weekend, got a bet going I will driving this car in the next 24 hours.
My second junkyard J came with these upper manifolds so I finally put them back to work.
This is the section that goes over the steering rack, way different than the Civics we usually do. Surprisingly tight.
First pass at the rear had the split way longer with the merge way back where the cat used to sit. This setup looks killer but is just impossible to get to fit.
Here is the whole y-pipe tacked together. You can see how much shorter is ended up being, merge right above the steering rack.
As I was fitting the merge to 2.5" my old man challenged me to a Welders Nationals. I think I had the better looking beads, but had a blow through, that's a big points deduct. Did a few minutes of port work to improve flow, didn't grab a photo, maybe tomorrow.
This is a mild steel joint that got some great color. The y-pipe is mild because I have a better plan coming up next year
The ol v6 car getting gutted, RIP Sedantha.
Hasport EG swap axles fitting pretty nice, noticed this axle bearing is out, not just a little bit, got a new one coming in the morning.
Abracadabra, the engine is gone again!
Little braided clutch line, Honda added a nice little hole in the shock mount so you can reach the fittings. Thanks guys.
Throttle cable mounted, had some trouble with the MIG.. again. But it is functional.
Don't think this was posted yet, here is the RSX pedal mount to the adapter plate.

New plan should be going around the new year if everything goes well, it's all still up in the air.

Re: V6 Honda Fit Build
-------------------------------------
First things first, I did not win the bet . Wanted the car running at 2am, ended up being some problems. Reinstalling the engine there was a bolt hole that was not quite lining up and needed a bit of reaming, then the rear mount moved off the tacks and shifted about 4mm. Almost no photos since I was up until 6pm the next day buttoning stuff up to get the car loaded.
Like I mentioned the front bearing was absolutely shot so that got replaced first thing.
The last half of the exhaust is just temporary, but hilarious. Super stoked that this came together to well since it was 3am and I was flying through the project. Thankfully I got help with the final TIG work that saved me about an hour of welding.
Got to Speedfactory around 7 this morning and tried to hook up the AEM to 2 different computers, one which had connected to the ECU before. For some reason the USB connection would not work and the serial line was fine. Once that was going Kevin and I checked through the sensors and everything looked good. Started up and set the timing, got all the cylinders firing and drained the tank to get some fresh 92 octane.
James jumped in and did a bunch of pulls getting it dialed in, tested a few manifolds and got some good data. Something I was amazed by is how much the motor picked up on to by opening the butterfly on the stock a2 intake. Didn't get a shot of that but it was around 20hp instantly and just a small loss on the bottom, pretty amazing.
This is one of the earlier runs spinning to 7k, doesn't show how chest wrenching the exhaust really is.
By the end of the day we hit 278whp | 263tq, fantastic numbers, much better than I could have hoped for!
This chart is my v6 sedan vs the Fit.
Only one thing left to do is break in the clutch.

Re: V6 Honda Fit Build
Awesome build. How did you pull that much power out of the J32a2?
I thought it was cool that you're making the exact same amount of power at the wheels as the new Accord v6 makes at the crank with the J35.

Thanks, I just learned that saying after starting this build, no one is going to know a thing.

Re: V6 Honda Fit Build
Forget the drag strip, go autocrossing. suspension might be an issue so hopefully theres something out there that can accomodate the additional weight.
Is the p/s separate system or does the main ecu also control it?
