Did the company's restructuring hurt their relationship with Hasport? Brian from hasport had developed a header with the Jacksons (that got shot down...), AND there WAS prospective plans for a rotrex supercharger kit for the K20A Swapped Honda FIt!
Any info on this?

haha sick, i guess that's true. Fine, i shall reword: I was hoping the 5lb kit to be the "S2k killer" and the 10lb to be the "Evo killer" LOL

The K-Swap Header was hurt by the removal of our header division. In fact, all headers have been removed from production tentatively.

very true...in fact the last real world test between the two showed that not only was the s2k the better handler, but it was quicker as well, due to the obvious weight advantage.
The newer z's pack a bit more punch, so i guess that would influence things a bit.
I CANNOT wait for this kit to come out! and carb legal? amazing. Jackson racing, you guys are doing a fantastic job!

Yeah, over in the bmw Z4 forum, the thread about S2Ks and 350Zs, they noted that the latest Zs were putting down more power. And that S2Ks are killer in 1st gear due to ~43mph at top end. And then the thread degenerates into LSDs, drivers, hp vs whp, cams, timeslips, and whatnot...

Not At All!!!! We just have been very busy getting our new group pointed in the right direction. Brian and Hasport remain very close to us at Jackson, and will be close with KraftWerks I'm sure.

This is good, b/c as you can see in my signature I have a almost finished K20A2 swapped Honda Fit and Brian has been helping me every step of the way. He mentioned to me that they were no longer developing the header with the company that they made the orange Fit header with. I know that was You guys.
It's good to hear that you will be developing a supercharger for the swapped fit! Mine is Cable throttle body (custom pedal modification) not DBW this should make the computer part easier!
I Prefer the response of a cable.
Keep the Fit community posted!

I'm sorry, but we have not planned on developing a supercharger kit for the K-Swap.
Good luck with your project!

Jackson Racing did design the K-Swap header. But Hasport was working with a former sister company to Jackson Racing for production. That company no longer has any affiliation with Jackson Racing.
I'm sorry, but we have not planned on developing a supercharger kit for the K-Swap.
Good luck with your project!

I'm awaiting whatever company they have appointed to make the header now. It's the only thing holding me back from driving my Fit!!

KraftWerks will be present at this year's SEMA Show, in the Honda booth, with a Time Attack Fit you are all aware of...
Final MSRP pricing will be announced at SEMA!

hey Oscar Jr., i'm kind of worried about the added stress on the bottom end internals on the stock L15 for the 10lb kit. Everytime i read about someone boosting an internally stock motor, they wouldn't dare run it above 7lbs of boost, even with tuning.
so what is it about your kit that makes it ok to boost past 7lbs without reliability issues? I plan to run my fit pretty hard since i run canyons every week. With proper maintenance, can you give me an estimate of how much shorter of a life span should i expect out of my motor?

It shouldnt be shorter... There is a guy on the forum boostin 17lbs on stock internals. The Jackson Racing Fit has been at 10psi for a long time now and runs on the track with no problems on stock internals.

WHICH still leaves us with the question of longevity of the L15.

LOL, are you talking about that red fit from China that supposedly smokes NSXs on the dragstrip? I mean, I saw his dyno video and it seemed ligit enough...but my friend from skunk2 said that they tried replacing their built motor in their turbo'ed Fit with a stock L15 and it blew before the first turn on the track. Seeing as how i know my friend better than the ChinaFit guy, i'm going to have to side with Skunk2's blown motor XDDD.
