Go ahead and turbo your versa. When it blows up, hope you have money to replace the engine because the warranty sure won't.

Wow, where do I start???

Big one, the ONLY Versa engine in the US is the MR18DE. Tiida's have multiple engines and I can bet the S.Charger is for one of those, not the MR18.

I bet you any money that the engine wasnt built to handle really high internal pressures. I bet as soon as you start throwing boost at that motor it'll grenade on you and you'll be left with the cost of a new engine.

The Versa is a more of an econocar than anything. There IS NO POINT to mods like this. Plus the hp to cost ratio isnt worth it. Go ahead and waste your money if you want to, I myself would be interested as what the cost of an entire MR18 would be.

You might say that, but in my opinion I'm making my car truly MY car. My V is absolutly like no one elses. That makes me really happy. But you are keeping yours stock therefore you are no different then all the other V's out there. But I guess its a personal choice. I have no reason to turbo my car at all. The price is ridiculous and if I ever had enough money to buy a turbo I would just sell my V and use that money to but a truly fast car. But I have no problem at all putting an exhaust and an intake or what ever else comes out to make my car My car (without blowing it up of course).

I keep mine stock because I feel no need to put extra, pointless stuff into a car, much less something that they can void my warranty on. As long as I'm making payments on the thing I'm keepin it stock. Just because I keep mine stock doesnt mean I'm "the same as everyone else". Half the people who modify their cars are doing it just the same as everyone else. Wheels, body kit, intake and exhaust, e.t.c. They're just doing the same thing as every other ricer out there. I think everyone who modifies their car as a ricer/show car aren't being original themselves.

Oh but the ego boost from being the only one state-side to have it has got to be worth another 200hp.

Heh... might as well get one of those ebay electric superchargers.

WOW your really stupid. Think about it smart guy, the versa is a brand new car, therefore the only things out right now are intakes exhausts and body kits. So how can you call a car a ricer for having everything that they can on their V? There are no turbos, headers, intake manifolds or anything like that for the V yet.

Go ahead and keep your car stock bud, but dont bag on people for wanting to do stuff to their cars. And from what I am reading for most of your posts your not doing anything but bagging on people who do stuff to their car. So if your going to keep doing it why dont you just stick to the 240sx fourms.

Honda Fit's a relatively new and they have a ton of things done to them. Engine swaps, turbo kits, e.t.c. have been done to the relatively new USDM Fit. The Versa isnt a car built for turbos or anything heavy like that. I'm sure, unless you sleeve the block and reinforce everything , that the MR18DE will grenade at the first sight of higher boost levels(10+psi). There already was a turbo kit developed for the Versa. Fox Marketing had a turboed Versa, but I think it only developed 160+hp after all was said and done.

I call a Versa a ricer when the only thing they want to do or have done or plan to do is add bodykits, underglow neon, gaudy rims, spoilers, 50 stickers, vinyl, e.t.c. They dont mention anything involving turbo kits or any other power adders and only seem to be interested in adding subwoofers and Advanced Auto Spinners.

I'd appreciate it if you dont try to insult me by calling me "stupid". I have every right to express my opinion of a persons car. I've never attacked a person directly and have only made comments on their cars or mods because they've asked the members here what they think. Last time I checked, I have every right to express my opinion on someones car when they've asked.

I, too, have noticed that most of your recent posts have been just a lot of bagging on what people have been wanting to do with their cars, and that's not cool.

Two reasons why the Fit has so much after market support so quickly. First, though the Fit is new here in the US, it is NOT a new car. It, like the Versa, has been around for several years and, unlike the Versa, already had a large aftermarket community before arriving here. Second, its a Honda. Typically, if you want a subcompact hatchback to tweak, you're not going to buy the Yaris/Versa/Aveo/etc, you'll buy the Fit. Producers of aftermarket parts know this and therefore focus their energies on parts for the Fit.

That doesn't make it stupid to want to tweak the Versa, its just more difficult. You shouldn't bash on people for wanting to enjoy their rides a little more.

Once again, I dont bash the person. I only comment on the car when they are asking what everyone thinks of their car. I dont have to like what they do to their car, and when they ask the community's opinion, I comment on it. If you've noticed, I only make negative comments when it is an obvious example of ricing/show car that has or want to have Lambo doors, neons, gaudy rims, 50 stickers and the generic intake and exhaust treatment.

There is a difference between saying you dont really like it and saying that its ricey when someone is asking for your opinion. I am personally not for a bunch of stickers, neons, lambo doors, and graphics on a car but the most I'll say is that I dont really like it. You have a right to your opinion and no one is saying that you dont, but when your opinion isn't doing anything but putting someone down then just dont post it. The same thing happened when blind snyper posted pics of his car with his carbon fiber hood on. Here you go, read some of the posts on there and see how different your posts are and what it does to the person your saying it to. zerothread/342992

Wow. If you think I'm like that Mr.LS guy then you misunderstand what I was saying. Nowhere did I say that these guys were retarded. I dont think I was ever as derogatory as these comments "ROFL @ STFU! AHHHAHA! Dude relax, friggin ricer man, if you were going to get a CF hood, you shoulda bought ANY color hatchback EXCEPT the blue shades, the RAW CF would have gone better with them, but those POS ricer stripes, wacky lug nuts, and your wanna be zip tied and duct taped license plate bracket are RETARDED just like you! AHHHAHAHA! You should get an ebay supercharger for it!"

Nor have I ever made any statements that encouraged bashing. The worst I have done was when Russianbull lost his cool and bashed some of us for commenting on his car when he said he didnt care what I said. My comments are completely different from that guys.

Seriously, wtf. It's just a car. I don't care if keeping my car OEM is being the same as everyone else. I got the car to drive and for it's features. Not to be cool and unique. Anyone who wants to make the Versa fast should have just spent the extra money on monthly payments for a car that's already fast. You can make it more peppy but trying to increase it's power by 40-60 HP? Not gonna happen without a lot of money. And that's not even a big increase.

I'm not all for bodykits and whatnot either. If you like that sorta thing then go ahead. But here's why I'm against it all. To me, it's just throwing away money. It does nothing for the car. There are many other useful things I could afford by not spending money on bodykits, custom paint, carbon fiber hoods/hatches, etc. It also makes you a target for theft depending on where you live (and I DO live in that type of area). Are they gonna go after the plain jane Versa or the tinted one with chrome wheels and projector headlights?

I do plan on doing a few mods but they aren't exterior mods. I'm waiting for the new intake header, going to pair that with a CAI, and getting a custom exhaust done. Why? It doesn't cost TOO much and it actually does something for the car. It makes it more peppy and fun to drive and increase gas mileage because you're making the car more efficient. I also plan to get 15" lightweight wheels. Why? Because I would like the look of them and the lighter your wheels, the easier it is for the engine to rotate them which means better gas mileage. Also the 15" lets me use the stock size rubber which is better for ride comfort. In my opinion, 18" wheels on a 1.8 liter 4 cylinder car is just all show and will decrease your mileage and ride comfort. And the last thing... lowering springs. I like the look and handling increase they give but I just don't need it. The cost of the springs, the cost of getting an alignment, the cost of you ruin a bumper or anything else because your car isn't high enough to clear something, the cost of having to replace the struts and shocks sooner than you normally would. I'll just keep mine stock height.

Have fun with your car but just keep in mind how much money you actually do spend and the car is only good for maybe 10 years depending how much you drive it and then you'll just do it all over again on the next car...

The ZPI Versa with a GT2871R on the blue versa made a 175whp at 4psi and 270whp on 15psi. They had issues with the transmission not holding up or something. Im not 100% sure i have the magazine somewhere.

About 95% of the people talking about turbo, supercharging, etc. Theyre talking out of there ***. They'll talk and talk but they will never do it.

I think we're talking about the same one. ZPI did the kit on Fox Marketings Versa. It was blue if I'm not mistaken. I didnt think the transmission would hold up. It's a 6 speed made for economy, not trying to crank out close to 200hp

Yeah it was fox marketing. 270whp on a versa is really impressive. Even @4psi making 175whp is a major step up from the baseline which is probably like 110whp (not sure).

Everyone can agree they versa is heavily underpowered for its weight and size.

That's why I'm interested in trying to give it a little more pep with the modifications I stated above. It moves decently with just me in the car but it can't exactly go up an interstate ramp fast with 4 people in the car....

I felt like I needed to present my case in the most straight forward way possible, so I guess I felt like fighting fire with fire. And I guess I should be glad I'm on an online forum instead of english class.

Well I never attacked the guy personally. I never called him stupid or retarded or anything.
