but jazz bein farely new he doesnt know wat to do or wer to find things for it.....

something that has enough guts to take on cars in its class and smoke'em but the driveability for everyday use.....
any suggestions???
Xforce full system to start with of course.... cheap and good..... :D

Simple yet effective....

yes they areQuote:

well
u need a turbo kit if u want to smoke ppl instead of being smoked
LOL
well or K20A
enough guts in its class and for daily uses as he mentioned.... seems too extreme to turbo charged or K20A.....
i think K20A is still ok
ok???? thats a lot more work than turbo charging the car..... :rolleyes:Quote:

gagaga
lol i was in the car by myself so i couldn't record it with my fone
i can even catch up with a porche 911 boxter..!! easy as!!
.
at the next light of course.. :o :D
lol
but that's not how i did it
The single best and cheapest performance gain comes from replacing the intake. A'pexi do a decent kit (one of which I have for sale, hin, hint) or Ruf Performance here in Sydney have developed a kit that makes slightly more power than the A'pexi kit.
Muli has also achieved excellent gains from his intake setup.
So i would say this is the best bang for your buck mod.
Exhausts sound good, but there is not as much in it as the intake.
Other than that, suspension mods are where it's at....get the suspension sorted on a Jazz and you will be surprised as to how well it handles.
As for the Boxster thing....try taking on a regular Boxster (the older model and not that I condone traffic light races) with Tiptronic. You might be surprised......actually I think the Porsche driver will be even more surprised to see you hanging with him.....
It might be a small car, but it can pack a pretty decent punch when it has to!
Dyno gains showed between 4.5-5kws wit my intake setup, it costed me around $300. With intake and exhaust sorta out and if you remove abit of excess weight, e.g rear seats, spare tyres you will be suprised how well it goes and does give cars around the 100kw a real good go e.g corolla sx, stocko SR20DE and especially SI or Vti early model civics:D
Hi guys.....a newbie here.......just trying to "catch" up with everyone here......
So, u were saying Apex, or Ruf CAI kit...??? Where can I get one...??? I live in Perth so as you might guess, theres not a lot goin on here.....or then again i could be wrong, coz Im new around here.........
Anyhow....Im looking to get one installed for sure, but I'm not to sure if thats going to give me enuf confidence to take on an Impreza just as yet......
Any ideas ppl...?? Always appreciated.....cheers..
I'm from SGP. Have the Simolta Open pod set for sale.. If u guys're interested in a group buy, I could work out a sweet deal! :)
ANyway, change to the open pod! Love the sound & the performance it gives.. esp @ NIGHT!! :)
is there somewhere you could point me out to where I can get more information on these pods....??? Is this a full kit including the Mandrel..??? How much..???

MaxiJazz, is yours Manual or CVT... the RUF CAI Kit is only for Manual for the time being I think... Apexi Kit, you can do a search in the For Sale Section... I think JUS10 is selling his.. Also, ahcash is selling a set as well .. check it out.Quote:

The best way for your Jazz to go better - cept for a K series swap - is this:
- Rip out the seats, and install two light frontseats from say Sparco or Recaro.
- Get a good intake system
- Have the head PNP'ed by a GOOD porter, do a 0.5mm mill. (I recommend Rocket (www.m24x.com))
- Get a set of +0.5mm 11.6:1 forged pistons
- Get a good header and install a testpipe which is resonated
- Have it all tuned with a good FMU. VAFC isn't good enough (no timing options).
port and polish... thats big bucks here man... hehehe.....
turbo kit, can't bgo wrong with that
not for me... heheh... love na....Quote:

On a Jazz? Seriously. You cant go more wrong then putting a Turbokit on a L-series engine.Quote:

Which part is hard to understand, the fact that the pod works or the gains? the standard ecu was tuned:D resetted ecu.Quote:

Muli....may I ask what ur configuration is...???
Im interested....ppl round here tell me uve got urself a pretty good set up.......
Mind if i take a look at some pics......
Im looking for some inspiration....!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Muli, but I have just learned to read......
Got a load of some of ur engine pics......impressive......
Dyou know whether I could get much gain out of just implementing a pod intake like urs....???
What make is urs.......Where can i get it.....And How much did it cost...????
Cheers
Resetting the ECU hardly counts as tuning :) Or maybe you did a reset and tune? If so, what did you use? I haven't found any tuning systems (No, VAFC doesn't count) that intergrates with the Honda Jazz ECU... :(Quote:
the standard ecu was tuned resetted ecu.
As to the gains of 15kw? No. I mean no disrespect, but no. No way you gain 15kW on a Jazz with light boltons. You don't gain 15kW on an ITR with light boltons - trust me - I've tried. 15kW is 24whp, which in Honda terms 27.6 bhp. The Jazz engine isn't designed for that kinda stuff..
Learn to read, i quote myself of saying 10-13kw gain. And the smiley at the end when i said about the tuning of ecu should give you a idea what was exactly doneQuote:

Anyone tried a HKS green mushroom looking like pod on thier Jazz..??? Any opinions.....What in general would be everyone preferencial pod choice be,,>>>
Not sure about the power gains, but looking wise..it's ugly :p
I agree asiansquad.....I just wanted someone else to say it, and I wasnt too sure whether there were other HKS users here......
On a seperate note, Im interested in where you got your custom pipe from....and how much did it cost......What filter are u using..???
the filter is a BMC pod filter, for <1600cc engines. pipe work is made from aluminium and any exhausts shop will be able to fabricate something up for youQuote:

Can I ask why this is? I am not disagreeing with you but I am considering a Top Fuel turbo kit for my Jazz and I need to know if the engine will handle it ok.Quote:

Mmmm... is it worth to do some of the mods mentioned above on a GLi??
adding a turbo or k20a conversion would be alright for a gli..
Is the Top Fuel kit available already??Quote:

Took out the Rear passenger seat and spare wheels.. and put baricaded wall behind driver / front seat.. and put sum SUV or Truck engine at the back.. and remove the front engine for lougage :P....
