hello people... i would just to ask some help.. i have already turbo kit but my problem is, how can i retard my engine to have a low compression engine.. im using l13a engine..hope someone can help.. thanks

 

not sure who would make one for the L13, but most people looking to easily lower compression purchase a thicker head gasket. this is usually the cheapest way to go.

 

yes a thicker head gasket would help

thats cause you got coil packs. if thats the correct name

yes, you HAVE coil packs. or atleast the L15 has coil packs and the L13 probably does as well. this means you do not have a distributor, your ignition is simply computer controlled.

 

is it alright to put a turbo in the l13? it has a very high compression rate.10.8:1..any suggestions?

 

First off, The Fit has 10:4:1 compression not 10:8:1.

Second, you shouldn't have to lower the compression, unless your doing a full race setup.

I'm going to go ahead a guess it's your DD.

So 10:4:1 should be fine for boost. Just run low Boost.

I have a Boosted B16 in a EG and that has 10:4:1 and it ran great for DD.

thanks. im sure it's 10.8:1 compression since my engine is L13a. L15 got a lower ones with 10.4:1... im not gonna use it for drag racing..are you sure its ok to place a turbo? im planning a 5psi turbo.will it be ok??will it work fine?

 

Speedlab in Manila has a turbo kit for the L13 engine. You can email them at auto_xer@yahoo.com. They have turboed several Jazz with 1.3 engines. Checkout wwwdotjazzcityuniteddotorg and look for the Jazz of jjmichaels and ken1279. They are both 1.3 iDsi engines.

 

His JAZZ is NOT a USDM Fit and is 10.8. go ahead and use it. The kits they are using in the USA are using the stock internal parts and they are the same ones you have in your ISDI
