Vash's Supercharger buy list - Estimated costs planning
I am the type of person that takes 2 weeks to do things people normally report takes only a few hours! So I am actually planning out my spare car to use for the unexpected delays and draw backs! Targeting this build for spring after I pay a very large amount of tax's to the great ole united states of america
Ok here is my buy list so far, any recommendations or criticism is welcome!
Parts list and prices are subject to change over time due to feedback and recommendations, please do recommend me better places to buy things as well:
*Current as of 02/03/2018*
Supercharger it self: $2221~
Injectors RDX Turbo: Should i be concerned about why these are so cheap? $90~
KtunerFlash V2 - $650~
TurboGixxer Tuning - $250~
Miscellaneous spare cash for unexpected required parts: examples: fluids and gaskets/gasket markers: $300~
Other unknown expenses: $100~

Consider using at least one heat range lower plugs on boosted engines
My HKS instruction manual recommended that I use their HKS M35i spark plugs. Those are rated one heat range lower than the IZFR6K13 plugs. I found some M35i plugs online, but they seemed a bit expensive,
I was told that I could use an equivalent plug, their NGK BKR7EIX plugs (7’s are one step lower than 6’s).
My engine didn’t seem to like those very much. So I decided to try my “go to” set of Denzo IK22 plugs gapped at .022” (IK22’s are also one step lower than OEM plugs).
So far, these plugs seem to be working just fine!

I might be old school... but back in the day everyone used to recommend copper and such for sparkplugs on boosted applications; is there a reason why manufactures are recommending iridium now-adays?
Because I was actually looking at these from a friends recommendation:
NGK 5791 Spark Plug http://a.co/c0kxov0

I recall reading that the copper plugs fired more reliably under higher compression back in the old days when coils were not as robust as they are today. I also recall reading that copper plugs on boosted engines will work, but will need to be replaced every 3,000 miles or so. I don’t know how accurate this info is, as I have never tried copper plugs on my Fit.
I do know that I have about 40K on my IK22’s since I’ve been boosted. If what I’ve read is accurate, I would be on my 13th set of copper plugs by now.
