hey usmc0341, are you going with the injector upgrade by any chance?

 

injectors no, just going with the base kit and a possible transmission cooler.

 

so hows the price?

 

Kraftwerks USA Products

 

yikes....so what is better then turbo or superc in ur opinions u guys?

 

SC, easy of operation, reliability. Turbo, more potential, more hassles. It depends on what you want, the time you have, money for tuning. But take that loaded question into a new thread, please... we've had enough flame wars on this already...

 

My most favorite person stopped buy today, The FedEx Guy I dint pull every thing out but I did look at a few this.

 

CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY VIA FEDEX.

Hey Oscar Jr., any word on the INJECTOR UPGRADE? Me want ASAP!!!!!

 

the price seems in line with what everyone else is offering. not too much more, or less for that matter.i figured it would be at least slightly more expensive though, simply because the technology is new, at least to the U.S.


so do we have any dates set up for the installs guys?

 

If I can wait Im going to have mine installed around March or April.

 

kit's installed, will post dyno's later tonight!

 

congrats! so what do you think so far? driving impressions? anything me and my mechanic should look out for during the install?I'm still awaiting word on the injector upgrade that I need for my particular setup....

 

Sweet! you coming to "the Hat" meet tomorrow?

 

the car runs smooth, almost any situation which required me to mash down on the gas now only takes half the effort. my kit was installed by mark dibella, and he actually had to shorten a bracket for the charging pipe and the pipe itself...all for clearance issues.

suprisingly the car runs at 6+ psi at peak? anyways i'm quite happy with the product but if the numbers don't seem right to oscar sr. & jr. i'm willing to stop by kraftwerks.

now for the dyno's...now let's all remind ourselves that not all dyno's are alike. the numbers posted on the kraftwerks site and on the first page were done on a SuperFlow WinDyn. mark tested my fit on a run-of-the-mill dynojet...

first dyno is straight auto transmission going...



and this second one is using the paddle shifters...



now i'm sure the numbers would increase a great deal with i/h/e or the injector upgrade, but i'm trying to keep this as stock and sleeper as possible. well...that, and the fact that my wife would divorce me if i spent anymore on this car

and no. i won't be making it to the meet this week, but maybe sometime later. i'll also post pics of the engine bay tomorrow...

 

I'm guessing it's giving you roughly 20hp with over stock if i'm calculating correctly.

 

Probably 23-24. Its tough to tell without the before run, but im guessing its that.

 

Hey what is the "suggested" heat range when replacing spark plugs? I know it's a step colder from stock but what is that?

Looking at purchasing from here:

hi im a turbo guy with a turbo fit i dont get that ur blower is putting out 6 psi and u gained 23 HP with the turbo, 6 psi we saw upwards of 55 hp and now on 10 psi we are seeing gains of 85 to 90 HP. not to sound sound bias but for the money why would you get supercharger when the two turbo kits available are making better numbers for cheaper? im not trying to start a controversy, im just trying to probe the mind of a SC owner/buyer.

 

Honestly that is one of the reasons I haven't jumped right on this kit is because I don't know if I can justify spending that much money for only 20-30hp. I am still going to keep an eye on this tho because I am still intrigue and might get the kit depending on how people like them over a longer period of time and also what else comes of this kit.

 

Very nice, How long did it take to get the kit installed? Im tring to figure out if I need to take some time off work to get it in.
