ok then how does it breathe? you run an intake with a turbo...whats the difference, it might not be an aftermarkt name brand but it is an intake correct?

The intake is specially designed for the application. The blower or turbine is driven by either a belt or your exhaust gas which compresses the incoming air creating more power. An intake designed strictly for N/A engines is bolted directly to the intake manifold. Intakes on FI applications have to pass through the blower or turbine before routing into the intake manifold.

...meaning yes, you WILL have an intake, but its a KW intake, specifically designed for the KWSC.

Yeah I guess in simple terms, you can't bolt up an AEM CAI or the T1R B-Max to the SC.

Reminder to those eagerly waiting to install the supercharger the instant you get one: Now would be a good time to start filling up with the 91 octane gas.

according to edmunds full test of a manual transmissioned fit sport, the quarter mile was acheived in 16.73 seconds @ 80.82 mph. In their fix/xd comparo, they used their long termer, which did the deed in 16.8 seconds @ 79.0 mph. (the xd did it in 16.5 at some 84 mph. The fit had a few thousand miles of tire wear on it though.)


I don't really think that these numbers really matter...most guys going to the dragstrip in their fits (are their any?) are proably doing the high boost kit, or a k swap.


I think the butt dyno is going to be the best indicator if it was 'worth it' or not.


JDM chris: what does your butt dyno say? you ever timed your street start or zero to sixty? what about an estimate? let us know man, we need some more fuel to this dwindling fire!

wow! That is really something! I know you are manual, and you have a cat delete, so i can't expect the same type of results, but it should be close enough. and it'll be defintely enough to make it a whole lot more fun than what it is now!

We were thinking (in all our spare time) of having a series of KraftWerks wallpaper images... The icicle shot brought up the idea.
