Project Fit – Hondata’s New Flashpro
Well, it’s been a long time waiting for our 2008 Project Fit Sport, and with dreams of turbo whooshes, we’ve finally received our Hondata FlashPro. Our FlashPro is part number FP-FIT-US-120001, (yep number one baby!) and after our supporting turbo mods, we are ready to install the FlashPro and start tuning! Newest changes to the […]
Case Studies : Apexi Super AFC Wiring Diagram : How to install a AFC.
While the age of the piggyback computer is slowly coming to an end, many enthusiasts would be remiss to overlook the benefits of adding a piggyback such as the Super AFC to their vehicle for tuning flexibility. So people have been asking for diagrams and sending questions regarding the APEXi SAFC unit. I have included […]
Case Studies : Installing a AEM UEGO into a Honda Fit
We’ll be installing a AEM wideband 02 sensor into our 2008 Honda Fit Sport in order to determine a baseline reading before bolting on our turbo kit. The UEGO part number in question is 30-4100, this unit is an excellent low cost choice for those needing accurate A/F readings, and can provide an optional digital […]
Project SC : 2JZGTE ECU Wiring into SC300 Guide
To prep the SC for the GTE swap, I’ve sourced a MT GTE ECU and a Aristo ( JDM 2JZGTE ) engine harness. For those doing this swap into a SC300, the wiring is a lot easier than the typical S-Chassis wiring in that many of the vehicle’s functions and wires are the same. Given […]
Project SC : A New Beginning… Or is it?
I have to admit that moving from the nimble and athletic S14 chassis to a heavy pig like the Z30 ( or Soarer if you are in Japan ), hasn’t been an easy transition for me. It’s taken some time, but the comfort of the SC300 and overall finish make for an excellent street car […]
Case Studies : Clocking a Turbo
After my diagnosis on the CT26 turbocharger, I’ve determined that the best path would be to service and sell the turbo, rather than put it on the 2JZ as a starter kit. To do this and get the maximum return however, I’ve decided to just sell as a replacement MKIII Supra turbo. Problem is, the […]
Project SC : Setting the Stance with Megan LP Coilovers
Welp, it’s about that time to get off my lazy behind and finally get some work done to the SC. While the car was lowered by the previous owner, the KYB shocks weren’t up to the kind of punishment that only Bay Area highways can provide. Where else to go for a good coilover set […]
Project SRT-4 : Back on the road and tuning with the AFC
Project SRT-4 has been on a long hiatus, and after popping the headgasket late in 2008, we’ve finally gotten back around to getting this monster back on the street. Since it’s been a few weeks since our last update, let’s run through a quick recap. Staying with the stock bottom end, we’ve chosen to run […]
Tobias Motorsports : Another day, another racecar
I swung by a friend’s shop today, Tobias motorsports, located in Hayward CA. John is one of the more talented fabricators I know, his work is top notch, AND he’s got a pretty epic name! 😉 While grabbing lunch a customer was picking up his dragster, with permission I snapped off some pictures to share […]
Project SC : A new beginning
Well, maybe not a NEW beginning, but Project 2JZ-240SX has certainly taken a turn as the S14 undergoes surgery, I begin tearing into my new whip, a 92 manual SC300. The car is monstrously heavy compared to the S14, and with the blown shocks and other Mickey Mouse work done to the SC, it rides […]
