Handling Modifications

The first problem you should think of when upgrading any vehicle is its handling or suspension system by lowering the car and getting a new set of coilovers. Dropping down the car allows the car’s center to be lower to the ground. Hence it would be easier to handle the corners.

Moreover, it’s a professional job to drop down the Honda Jazz, so leave it to someone who has experienced it before rather than do it yourself to prevent any incoming problem. 

 

 

Your front tires also need a better negative camber to improve future trips’ quality. A couple of one or two degrees toe-in are welcomed to combine with the tires as they enhance stability.

If your only purpose is to lower the car, you should use H&R Sport Springs for the Honda Jazz from 2004 to 2007. 

But, if more adjustability is needed, choose other coilovers such as ISC, Emotion, or high-performance DGR. For newer Jazz from 2008 to 2014, the suitable sets will be BC Racing Type, ISC, and Tanabe Pro S-0C GE8.

You can optimize the update of suspension or handling if you upgrade the brake. Get them from Bendix for the cheapest price or Wilwood Dynapro and D1 Spec Big Brake for powerful brakes. 

Engine Swaps

An engine swap is a modification you can get for your baby Jazz to have it run faster and stronger. This is a complicated and costly process, yet you also need permission from LTO to do this project. 

So, what engines are suitable for a Honda Jazz? The answer is D16 and D17, which you can find in Jazz’s cousins: Integras and Civics. Another option would be the engines from Honda B-series. All of these choices are welcomely compatible with your vehicle.

K-swapping your engine is a new way of engine swaps. Although this process is not popular, its efficiency shows its effectiveness. However, it is way more costly than the original-style replacement, so prepare a decent budget if you want to K-swap the engines. 

Headers, Cooling, And Exhaust Mods

 A larger Honda engine can be put into your modified Jazz if you use the donor engine's exhaust, stock radiator, and headers. 

Large radiators are responsible for efficient cooling, while headers will enhance exhaust and intake gas consumption. Finally, a new exhaust supports faster exhaust gasses elimination.

Here is the list of compatible headers according to your Jazz model:

  • HotPipes Headers HP-HND008 - 2014-2020 Jazz.
  • HotPipes Headers HP-HND006 - 2008-2013 Jazz
  • HotPipes Headers HP-HND001 - 2004-2007 Fit

Such big radiators like SpeedLab 2 Row Aluminum or Mishimoto’s Performance Aluminum Radiator can disperse more heat once you modify the engine to one another. 

You can also input induction kits while upgrading your Jazz modified, but to be honest, it won’t help much in increasing the power. They have opened air filters shaped like a cone and work by giving out better airflow. 

Better Clutch

If you’ve done an engine swap or merely upgraded the headers, then surely it’ll now be making a bit more horsepower. This, of course, will mean that your stock clutch will be slipping around.

More horsepower will be made once you handle an engine swap and a header upgrade, which means the stock clutch is likely to slip around.

Luckily, we have a new and better clutch to fix these situations. Use Blusteele Clutch Kit for 2008-2014 models and Exedy Clutch kit for the 2004-2007 models, in which both include a clutch pressure plate, a friction plate, and other essential items. 

Notice that the Honda Jazz’s newer models in the Philippines use a continuously variable transmission, which may not be a fit for the listed clutches.
