How do I make a Honda Fit faster?
I bought a 2020 Honda Fit, but it doesn’t have as much pop as I want. It’s a bit sluggish out of the gate and it takes longer than I expected to reach my desired speed. What can I do to make my Honda Fit faster?

If you want to make your
Honda Fit
faster, lighten the vehicle and add either a turbocharger or a supercharger.With a light overall weight and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, the Fit makes 130 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough for a zero-to-60 of 8.2 seconds, which isn’t shabby. You can lighten the Honda Fit by switching the tires and wheels. The stock wheels and tires are about 35 pounds apiece, so if you can find a tire/wheel setup of 25 to 30 pounds, it will make your car surprisingly faster. Purchasing racing wheels and tires can also improve handling.
A turbocharger or supercharger can also improve the speed and acceleration of your Honda Fit. However, the addition of these aftermarket mods is pricey. Make sure to weigh the costs and your budget against the boost in power. If you decide to move ahead, expect a strong increase in power, as a high-quality turbocharger or supercharger can boost your Fit to around 200 horsepower. Due to the lightweight construction of the Honda Fit, this increase in power will be notable.
A turbocharger or supercharger can run between $2,000 to $4,000 including installation, so double-check that you have the funds and the desire to upgrade the vehicle. If you install a turbocharger, supercharger, or new tires/wheels, make sure you have the proper insurance coverage to protect your newly modified ride. To get the best rate possible, search rates on the Jerry app.
