Economy Meets Performance with the HKS Honda Fit Turbo Kit

Honda Fit


Honda hit a home run when it released the Fit to the U.S. market. In 2007, both Motor Trend and Road and Track magazines performed comparison tests between the Fit, Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa with Fit being the clear winner. Motor Trend calls the Fit "the right choice for the enthusiast who wants a car that handles twisties as well as it does chores, saves gas, and eases your budget." Road and Track said the Fit is "the most fun to drive" of the three.

The Honda Fit is a great, economical car, but certainly underpowered for the performance enthusiast. The expert engineers at HKS are looking to solve this problem. HKS has developed the HKS Honda Fit Bolt-on Turbo Kit.

HKS Honda Fit Turbo Kit


The Honda Fit Bolt-on Turbo Kit was developed with reliability and performance in mind. Earning an Executive Order by the California Air Resources Board (E.O.# D-186-27), the simple-to-install Turbo Kit includes a front mount intercooler, which improves charge air density, while enhancing the engine performance. The pre-programmed HKS F-Con IS engine management system included in the kit maintains the proper fuel and timing strategies.

Technical Specifications:
• T25 Turbo (60T 0.63 A/R)
• S-Type Intercooler (400mm x260mm x65mm)
• F-Con IS (Pre-Programmed)
• Cast Manifold
• Downpipe
• SMF Reloaded Intake
• Polished aluminum I/C piping with SSQV flange

The T25 Turbo allows for a faster spool up at a lower RPM range resulting in better response and low-end acceleration. HKS’ SMF Reloaded intake system, included in the kit, allows for improved filtration and increased airflow.

With the turbo boost level pre-set to 5.7 psi and tuned with the Pre-programmed F-Con IS on 91+ octane fuel, HKS' bolt-on turbo kit, combined with the optional HKS Hi-Power exhaust and upgraded HKS spark plugs produced a performance gain of approximately 30% gain in peak horsepower (stock 91 rwhp / HKS 125 rwhp) without significantly impacting the excellent 27 city / 34 highway MPG the Honda Fit is known for.
