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.

🚥Gotta love a non off the shelf build …kudos to you brother 😎👍🏽

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 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.

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!

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 KZfaq. ✌️

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

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.

Love Seb's clutch delay valve on my 2007! Hybrid shifter bushings help too!

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.

Really enjoy your content and I really enjoy the back ground music. Very relaxing

Interesting idea doing semi poly filled bushes. I was looking at the stock Miata diff bush thinking the same thing.

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

I am so invested in watching the fit build! Keep uploading! Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾

Awesome improvement overall man. Happy to see you enjoining your cars ❤

Had plans to turbo my GE8 fit until it was totaled but a drunk drive while parked on the street. This series has a special place in my heart because of that and i thank you.

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 just paused this video at 19 min. I did same exact thing when I replaced my 94 Probe GT clutch; used black expensive 3M windshield glue to make my new stock motor mounts a bit more firm. I did not totally fill them in, the again mine were not as flexy as yours. Hitting play now and hopefully you will be pleased like I was. 👍👍👍👍

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.

Super informative and entertaining video. Keep up the good stuff!

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.

I dont know anything about cars or engines. I just really appriciate how well made these videos are.

My little 1.4l ralliart colt loves its turbo! Best move you've ever made for that beast!!!

I just put the engine in my JV6 swap miata, super stoked. Can’t wait to see this!

Just did the clutch on my 08 Fit. I left the rear mount on the transmission then removed it on the floor for reinstall. Wedged the engine and tran forward to get the mount back in. Tedious but it worked. My subframe bolts were rusty so I didn't want to chance breaking them😂 thank you for your content

poly filling the mounts is actually a old honda trick i learned yearssss ago to make them stiffer on the cheap

Honda builders are the absolute best when it comes to making things work we were doing urethane fills in 08 if we couldnt buy the aftermarket mounts or didnt want completely solid ones

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.

You weren't wrong about the interior space. I manage to pack an entire 2-stroke go-kart into the back of mine plus all of the spares and running gears I need in order to operate it. Have to disassemble and reassemble it whenever I'm taking it on race days just to fit it inside but it gets the job done.

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've always thought about trying that trick to fill in my rear silencer hangers. I'm definitely gonna give it a go now

That first clutch was so adorable... Sucks you couldn't get it to work... I can't wait to get my shop done so I can start working on fun toys again!

Loving the fit content, keep it up!

You’d think after almost a decade you’d stop with the “I’ll try this first it’s cheaper/easier” lol. Love the videos always, cheers!

The bushing polyurethane thing is actually an ond trick I've learn with one mechanic here in Brazil, he told me that was a common thing in the 70s and 80s on modified cars, he told me that it works like a charm

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 :)

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.

I love the filled motor mount... as others have mentioned WINDOW WELD is the shit... it's very thick vs what you used... I did it on my aw11s back in the day and on the front mount on my neon ACR (rear was a strut tube type thing... I made that more solid by covering the strut with rubber hose... a little more vibration but very mild and it mad the shifting and clutch feel MUCH more consistent as engine wasn't torquing back and forth.

Clutch delay valve is a game changer. Did the same thing in my dodge dart when I had it and it was a whole new car

Looking forward to the turbo build. Got a turbo to fit to my old rover v8 at some point (bring swapped into an rx8). Going to be taking a few notes. Interested to see what you do in terms of wage gate.

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.

Such a sick series. I aspire to be like you. Thanks for showing the actuality of how much fucking around it actually takes to turbo a NA car.

Cant wait to see the new side of the shop come together 😁😁

Fun build! Going to be a great ripper.

I just binged watched the last modification videos yesterday, AND NOW THISS!!!

i used windowweld 3m on my z3 shot bushings, it made a difference in slop lash. I waited 48 hours. they have a quick dry white stuff too

Can't wait to see this thing rip!

Mmmmm I love a good DIY turbo build. Excited for the next part!

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

Yes sir!!!! Curious too see how this turns out. Hondata tuning software?

Removing the starter on those cars is a pain in the ass. I did a clutch and release bearing on one and i had to drop the subframe a bit to get access to the rear mount and steering rack bolts

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.

Clutch and shifter in one video? Sweet, in other channels this would take multiple videos and weeks, can’t wait to see and hear that turbo

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

That factory mount at 17:46 is designed to constrain the engine+transmission in only one dimension. So while it can flex all over the place, the other engine mounts keep it from doing this. Under acceleration, this mount gets loaded up against the chunk of rubber that's in there.

I vouch for Clutch Masters! I got a FX200 and Fidanza Lighweight Flywheel on my 95 Ford Probe and it feels wayyyy better than stock. Also put down the power too!

Great video, as usual 👌 I wouldn't be mad if you gave away the hybrid racing shifter, preferably to me, lol excited for more fit content keep them coming

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?

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!

The lord heard my prayers for more Honda fit content and a turbo kit just what it needed

Please keep up the series, im obsessed with those fit's my god

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.

bro is so happy with his turbo it makes me enthusiast for when I'm old enough to get my license and car

can you walk us through how you wired your headlights ? mine turn off when I switch the high beams on.

turbo this one, k-swap the orange one and race them head to head! i think that would be a super fun video!!

3M silicone window sealant the original mounts fill it with that and you’re good to go and keep in 75 degree temperature that’s constant for hardening, but please only use the 3M version

Keep up the god work. Enjoing every single video

i did the trans mount of my Glanza v with windshield urethane holding up just fine

back in the late 80's/early 90's we used to fill all of the mounts with 3M WINDOW WELD and let them dry for a few days before reinstalling them. it was the cheap method and it worked great.

It’s crazy how the fit is basically a mini 8gen civic

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?

Fun project 😊👌

That st-st-stu sneeze at 1:15 was great

Man this is so cool I wish they made short sifters for the Honda hrv but no one does

Pro trick hold that mount up to the body of a orbital sander , zero bubbles and it soaks in every little crack you want it to

seb got that sneak peek for turbo charging the fit hahah

Major engine parts and drivetrain never cheap out on. Plus if you daily it you want it to be enjoyable not problematic

How do you guys do the moving timelapse shot?? Looks sick af

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😅

Can you explain the "one pin wire behind the battery" ? Where exactly is it and what does it do?

I hvae FX100 and i dont love the clutch feel but it claims ot hold 70% over stock. I Wonder if clutch feel is better on fx250. I'd also heard they may wear out quickly but i'm close to 25k miles with no problems yet.

I LOVE THE FIT AND SHOP CONTENT

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)

Sir were did you get your head unit its huge ang beautiful

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

18:00 drill the solid mount rubber in away u thing the torque load will good.

Dude, this series has singlehandedly convinced me to buy a fit

Looking awesome, love the mcm flag too

Lmao the camera quality and being able to clearly identify the cars in opposing traffic during the pulls is hilarious 😂

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?

Yay! Fit content!

I am 3 minutes into the video, and i have already fallen in love with that car ❤

Best thing about these cars is the fact that even 130 whp feels rapid due to the low weight. Can keep up with a lot of cars even at that low power.

The fit has the best feeling reclining aftermarket seats I wish I could afford them for the e46

I did the exact same thing when I bought a 1997 Civic coupe for $1000 from a 19 year old kid. It had a JDM D15B block that the previous owner had stolen the head off of and put a D16Y7 head in it's place. The 19 year old didn't know the difference, so he bought it and rebuilt it all. He also purchased a JDM Del Sol Si trans and installed it all with a brand new clutch and flywheel (eBay), and couldn't figure out why it ran like crap and didn't have VTEC. I bought it, put a D16Z6 head on it, and it ran PERFECTLY. I ran it for about a month NA and I started piecing together an eBay turbo kit for it with a P28 ECU that I socketed and chipped. That car wasn't particularly fast, but it was SO much fun on 8-10 psi with an eBay 50 trim turbo with an eBay 3" exhaust. I had a basemap from Chris Harris at Xenocron and with the DSM 440cc injectors it pulled really hard to 9000 RPM and held power all the way to redline. I found out later it had an Exedy flywheel and OEM clutch replacement and it held no matter how much power I threw at it. I took it to a local drag strip and I was smacking modified WRXs and Mazdaspeed 3s. My buddy was there with his identical FBO 2000 Civic Si and I DESTROYED his car every time. He didn't even want to race me, but of course we did. Hondas are SO easy to boost and they're so rewarding when you do, as long as you do your proper research and parts ordering ahead of time.

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)

we love turbo ❤

You have to think how thick that is built up on that motor mount. I wonder if just doing smaller layers would have helped.
