You where on the right track with the mout filler! Its extremely popular in the Honda community to use "window weld" Which is just the urethane used to hold windshields onto your car. Very popular for the older models that you cant buy upraded mounts for. I did it to the mounts on my 88 prelude and it was perfect. Held to turbo power and wasnt a vibrating mess.
Might have to copy that, going with a b16 swap into my 89 prelude
Make sure you buy the special caulking gun for it. You need a 20-1 ratio to get the stuff to come out of the tube. Standard caulk guns are like 3-1 ratio or 5-1 maybe.
@justinmarhold6744 I always used a standard caulk gun, never had an issue.
I did this on my mk4 Jetta with great results and they lasted great!
I believe it is either smoothing or alimalite that sells a 2 part urethane epoxy that people use for this and it comes in different hardnesses for how stiff or soft you want it to be. Tons of bids here on UA-cam of people doing it
🚥Gotta love a non off the shelf build …kudos to you brother 😎👍🏽
Thanks brotha! Excited to do this DIY!
@@_Gingium_ yes sir I’ll watch every video 🤓
@@_Gingium_ is it possible to turbo charge a 2017 Honda fit automatic?
Awesome improvement overall man. Happy to see you enjoining your cars ❤
I am 3 minutes into the video, and i have already fallen in love with that car ❤
Super informative and entertaining video. Keep up the good stuff!
Just noticed you at 666k subscribers……
I remember the old window weld trick that was popular back in the DSM glory days.
I am glad you supported
Seb's Garage, great products, and contributions to the Fit community. Lover your content looking forward to seeing the turbo L15
i love my 2nd gen Fit, but for the money, id probably K-swap mine. A stock, unmodified engine making a cozy 200hp would fit my needs perfectly. Excited to see how a turbo swap turns out though!
Yeah I definitely debated it! But the K swap doesn’t make turbo noises and requires some trickyness to get all the “daily driver” stuff like A/C to work.
@@_Gingium_ theres always a trade off. i could probably live without the AC but then its not the perfect car anymore
Sounds awesome but maybe just buy a Fiesta ST and start from where you'd be ending up?
@@Blas4ublasphemy you’re right. As a st owner… just get one. You’ll love it.
I have used windo weld on motor mounts for years. Cures in 24 hours and gives you decent results
3M Windo Weld works great for filling in voided bushings, cures overnight and its already black. Used it on several projects always worked.
Interesting idea doing semi poly filled bushes. I was looking at the stock Miata diff bush thinking the same thing.
It worked decent but it’s not quite as stiff as I would like. Hoping it gets better as it cures 🤞
polyurethane filled bushings are a great idea. the motor mounts on my abarth are on their way out, there are polyurethane inserts available for the stock mounts and I was gonna get them but I think I may just try what you did here and fill them myself
Inserts are a great cheaper option. The sealant works but I’d do more research on what the best one to use is
@_Gingium_ Back in the day, I used windshield poly
Just so you know, that fourth engine mount (the one you filled with polyurethane) is not essential and I deleted it on my car completely and did not notice anything else, it's really that rear lower mount that puts in all the work. Also if you ever need to drop the trans again, you don't need to remove the rear mount, so you don't need to touch the subframe at all.
Hmm i upgraded my motor mounts but left that fourth mount in. You think it drives better without it?
@@Awainer1 I would think that Honda engineers know what they're doing when they add in that 4th mount. Although there may be subjective input saying that it feels better without the mount, Honda is known for their reliability and durability. I wouldn't assume that any person knows better/more about the chassis dynamics than Honda does. I would certainly leave it unless there is another modification that is taking up that space.
I upgraded all mounts to polyurethane except for that fourth one cause I put it back initially(was a little worn but not as bad as one in the video and then took it out and did not notice any difference at all
usually a 4th mount is for secondary vibration form a transverse mounted engine. it would support the 3rd mount which is essential
You'd be correct with that in the factory situation. But I've already gone with a lightweight flywheel, and full poly mounts so there's no vibration that that mount will actually help against now
I love that you show your mistakes! I think it's one of the things that makes your channel one of my absolute favorite channels on UA-cam. ✌️
GOOD MORNING Best GINGUM MOLLY UA-cam CANADA ONTARIO VIDEO MISSISSAUGA TRANSIT 🇨🇦🇨🇦❄️❄️⛄️⛄️☃️🐈🐈🐈
I did the poly fill on all my mounts in my ae101 corolla. I wasnt spending close to 200 bucks for mounts. Glad I did it worked perfectly lol.
same on my 944, even worked on a transaxle
Really enjoy your content and I really enjoy the back ground music. Very relaxing
Bring it to Downforce Battles at Lanier Raceway on Feb. 10th! I’ll be running my stock ‘10 Sport there and would love to see yours in comparison.
Love Seb's clutch delay valve on my 2007! Hybrid shifter bushings help too!
Every time I load up a gingium video it makes me think of how far you come, been here since Fred the focus, made it all the way through high school on your videos and it makes me feel so old😂 I love the channel and can’t wait to see what else is in store
poly filling the mounts is actually a old honda trick i learned yearssss ago to make them stiffer on the cheap
It’s crazy how the fit is basically a mini 8gen civic
i hope u refunded that ebay clutch lol
How long we are going to give gingium until he needs or ends up buying a new daily? xD
The age old Gingium curse of trying to do things cheap and ending up spending 3x as much.
turbo this one, k-swap the orange one and race them head to head! i think that would be a super fun video!!
"they're roomy on the inside" *laughs in 6'3"*
Major engine parts and drivetrain never cheap out on. Plus if you daily it you want it to be enjoyable not problematic
About very wide interior space. In Thailand, this Honda Jazz/Fit can truck everything. Normal used case here would be putting a whole Honda Wave 125 motorcycle in there lol
This is gonna be sick! Would have also been equally sick to see you venture into some all motor goodness with a k swap as well though
I dont know anything about cars or engines. I just really appriciate how well made these videos are.
Can't wait to see this thing rip!
Me too! I’m excited for the turbo noises
Do people actually turbocharge this car. Doesnt it have a small engine like a 1.2 litre?@@_Gingium_
oh no. i just bought a 08 fit with a manual. why would you tempt me so?
😉
My dad had a ‘68 Firebird which was basically a pseudo-trans am racer for the road with a 400 and a Doug Nash 5 speed. He had a friend of a friend who was on the factory race team in the 60s who gave him all the hot tips. He said the factory cars did use mostly bronze bushings, which worked great, if you had a professional machinist measure everything to ten thousandths accuracy. A lot of wannabe racers did that without the attention to detail, and suddenly their car had solid motor mounts and seized suspension.
That is exactly what I like about these little Hondas! You are doing this right for stage 1. Can't wait til you blow it up and go to stage 3, a k24 with forged rods and pistons and xtpype valves, meyerhoff headers, etc... and good luck with the chemo, son. Mine grew back, yours can too! Love, peace and chicken grease from the man who yeets the meat! Hustles the muscle! Herkys the jerky! Dad jokes! We do jerky!
Now I have to go turbo my fit....Thanks Gingum. hahaha. Ill be following the tutorials. I have the Hybrid Racing Short shifter currently. But I am thinking about replacing it with the WK, THE Sounds it was making towards the end of the video were awesome. The throw seems to be more direct, no play at all, and much shorter...Which I prefer. What're your thoughts after having driven with it in compared to the Hybrid Racing?
High road tax in UK for early 2000s Jazz/Fits. 2006 1.4l petrol Jazz is £180 per year road tax, what is it in the US?
And how much would a turbo set you back insurance wise?
Cheers
Thanks for the shout-out!
I've also got the FX250 on my car along with an MFactory LSD and it's a huge improvement over stock. I do wish it wasn't as stiff or had such a small window of engagement, but am curious to hear what your thoughts are long term.
Thanks for the awesome product! And yeah it’s a bit stiff, but I don’t mind it yet!
I’m buying a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 sedan, im wondering what I can do to make more power, I mean it has 290hp and 297tq, 6.1 seconds 0 to 60. Am I able to put the turbo from the Genesis coupe that has the 3.8?
“I’m keeping this simple and streetable..”
Fast forward to 2026 or so.. “so I’m replacing the chassis with a homemade carbon fiber monocoque with full venturi tunnels and making a mid-mounted twin turbo V16 from four CBR1000 engines in order to make a car which will dominate the Pike’s Peak hillclimb…”
Randomly saw this.. my first car was a gd3.. enjoy mate, the best hatchback for me, still miss it and another ge8 I owned.. driving golf mk7.5 r now, well it’s great but can’t move on from jazz (fit)
Should I buy a Vitz RS for $8600 with 20,000km or a Fit RS for $7600 with 62,000km. Does anyone have advice? Both cars are from 2007
"Daily Driver"
"Reliable"
"Ebay Clutch"
... Even if it'd worked one of these three don't belong...
Loving this series, you've convinced me to turbo my gd as well. Question about your change in shifter, did you notice a difference in the wk motorsports compared to the hybrid racing quick shifter? TIA
I just put the engine in my JV6 swap miata, super stoked. Can’t wait to see this!
When i had my GD Jazz in Australia I bought a HardRace torque mount which was the perfect way to give the car less wheel hop and better feel with a little bit of vibration but nothing too bad. I wonder if its because your US spec Fit uses rhe mechanicals of the GE 2nd gen that you couldn't find a mount. As his Fit is an 08 model where in the rest of the world the GE was already out.
i would post the link for the bushing maker but UA-cam will delete it. But look up 80A High performance bushing maker for your mounts. I've used it on my Taurus sho for years.
Had a turbo Fit from 2002 to 2007 running 8psi with the stock CVT with ZERO issues until some guy ran a stop sign and totaled it.
bro how are you so amazing?? this fit is gonna be awesome!
EDIT:
I looked at your videos from 10 years ago and it's crazy that you use to do gameplays lol, hope this honda fit series really blows up your channel! we need more content like this :)
Poly filling bushings isnt even a craxy idea. My dad and a bunch of hot rodders he knew used to do this back in the 70s and 80s on cars that had shot factory bushings and i even did it on my 2001 bmw z3 i had in highschool. Overall its a great solution for a car that isnt going to be running crazy horse power where you still want some additional bushing stiffness.
Dude love the video, but I learned the same lesson as you with buying cheap parts I bought cheap ignition coil packs, and spark plugs had a misfire, changed 1 had another realized it was just because the cheap crappy parts, n then had to buy the quality parts for even more so at the end of the day if you cheap out your actually gonna be spending more then if you just got the quality part to begin with will never cheap out again unless, it’s something overpriced for no reason then I will buy the cheap knock off that is just as quality
I want to turbo charge my honda Fit it is a 2020. I just bought its second-hand car, I'm new on this kind of stuff, and i don't know what steps to follow lol but I would like to learn. I want to put some modifications to my car.
Make sure you don't get too excessive with your engine braking. The springs will rattle and blow out the sides of the the clutch plate. There's certain versions of my clutch masters that were upgraded so they're encased springs. It cost me 600$ to find that out -.-
Doing an engine swap to a K20 or K24 would have been a wiser decision. Less complex build and has more power potential then turbo charging your current engine. To each there own I guess.
I still remember you from the forza horizon videos, really glad you could make such a successful transition (I know it’s been like 5 years basically lol)
my mom "what is clickbaiting"
me *this video*
ps, love the video, can't wait to see the paint booth and final fit build. but DAMN what a clickbait lol
shifter is a waist of money... fact!! just waisted 20mn of my life watching some dude change a shifter and a clutch... Baiting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you guys have no clutch shops in the US? Just take the stock clutch to them and they reinforce the whole thing for 200 bucks, way cheaper then some rainbow colored stage X stuff by a company.
I'm really tempted to do this. I love my 2011 and it's only got 95k on it, but I'm afraid that by the time I upgrade everything that needs upgraded, it would be cheaper to just sell it and get something a little faster/more fun.
Clutch disk was probably in backwards. I had an ebay clutch come labeled incorrectly and that was the exact effect. Flipped the disk around and it holds all the power
Great video, still on that u are really Creative, and have good hands, other thing, are u working out?, look like u was doing some upper exercise and lose belly fat also, if im true great job also broo congrats
Just found your channel and did some trawling through older vids. Do you have the world record for THE most aggressive hairloss ever ?
Was waiting for this video to come out for the longest time!!!! 😅😅 Wanted to know if turbocharging the L13 and L15 is possible with the same turbo manifold?
So, how fast u need to go to do a school run, get to the office, send and pick up the missus from work, do grocery shopping ..... and visit your parents in the weekend so u can get back in time for personal time. .... it made sense to up the power on your daily to all dat in 8 hours a day u got after u spend 16 hours of sleep and working.
why are you crawling around on the ground with that transmission when the car IS ON A LIFT. you are a bad person for putting eBay drivetrain parts on it.
Will you be putting a cool wing on the fit?🤔 Would like see what kind you'd go for. I have a gt style on the way right now, plus a cold air intake😅
It’s ok to have a daily that’s not modified, ya know
But it’s better to have a modified one.
Been excited to see you turbo the fit. I've got a 2008 manual fit and your first fit videos were how I found your channel. Still waiting on you to take it to the dragon...
I will never understand weighted shift knobs. But I also drive a car that came from the factory with a metal shift knob
seb got that sneak peek for turbo charging the fit hahah
Amazing video bro thank you, I'm gonna use this as a guide when I turbo mine, but one thing you should try is changing the gearing a bit, I always do this in forza after I add power to a car, I usually make the gears a bit longer in the game to get a bit more speed out of the car in lower gears.
Things were definitely a bit turbulent, but I really enjoyed this video! I like that you include what went wrong and the process of fixing it, showing the reality of what project cars are like.
I'm about to turbo my fit as well. How important is it to upgrade the clutch first? Can I get away with stock for a while?
"you have to upgrade your shifter for a turbo charger to work"...I guess I've been doing it wrong then.
Please upload the next part where you compare the first 0-60 then the upgraded 0-60 with turbo
you should check out DMO deejay's honda jazz (fit) if you haven't already
Youre going to paint the urethane so it cant oxidize and harden? Might as well put it back in the original container… damn people,
can you walk us through how you wired your headlights ? mine turn off when I switch the high beams on.
They make self levelling sikaflex in multiple colors. Why not buy black?
My little 1.4l ralliart colt loves its turbo! Best move you've ever made for that beast!!!
1) My racecar
2) My new racecar that used to be my daily
3) My new daily
Circle of every car guy xD
Should i get this as an upgrade from my 94 corolla? I really want a slightly modern a/t car lol
My 2005 Corolla s with just an intake and exhaust does that Hondas 0-60 in a third the time
bro is so happy with his turbo it makes me enthusiast for when I'm old enough to get my license and car
How do you guys do the moving timelapse shot?? Looks sick af
There's reasonable cheap and there's Ebay cheap. Normally a waste of time.
All this work to not replace the flywheel? or even get it resurfaced? you can see the hot spots on it dude.
Hey!! Looking to sell your old short shifter???? haha....unless?
Can you explain the "one pin wire behind the battery" ? Where exactly is it and what does it do?
So I assume we're gonna call this project "Hissy Fit"?
Ebay clutch 😕Ebay manifold 😕
Don’t jinx it
buy a pole jack pin head, you have a lift but take transmissions out on your back
If you're gonna do the clutch, you should give it a helical LSD
I didn't have to remove sub frame or starter on my ge8..? Love this vid..
Your clutch problem could have just been mis-alignment
Mmmmm I love a good DIY turbo build. Excited for the next part!
18 Mitsubishi mirage has am even smaller clutch was so surprised.
Yeah unless your 6ft3 and 140kgs
These cars are tooooo small
Suzuki swift sport covers the same bases, but it's even better and more fun
