Intake upgrade — Tauranga Fit K3
Custom cold-air and short ram intake solutions for Honda Fit K3 (NZ spec). Optimised flow, improved throttle response, and dyno-verified gains tailored for Tauranga roads.
High-flow reusable filters, sealed cold ducts, and precision-matched trumpets for the K3 head unit.
Why upgrade your intake?
Intake improvements reduce restriction, stabilise inlet air temperatures, and bring measurable gains across the rev range without sacrificing drivability — ideal for the Honda Fit K3's compact engine bay.
- Better throttle response
- Smoother mid-range torque
- Improved turbo spool (if turbocharged)
