KraftWerks Supercharger Kit Info v4.0
$4500 for the upgrade or the whole system?!
I didn't know AlienCowboy had an A/T Fit.
I understand that Kraftwerks focuses on quality and reliability; however, I wouldn't think that a ECU tuning/reflash would affect the trans too much because its just a tune. Mind you this is just my thoughts on the ECU.
Now with the 10 lb. kit, I can see why they wouldn't do it. Too much stress on the trans which would increase heat and could end up causing damage to the clutch plates inside and the torque converter.

....which is why they need to introduce a mid boost with hondata re-flash! hello kraftwerks you listening? 7-8 psi, a tuned ecu=bam reliablity. just state you need a tranny cooler and to expect more frequent trans.fluid changes and lower overall life.
honestly i find it hard to believe that hondas clutch plates and torque converters are so weak they couldn't withstand 40more hp at the crank.
can somebody with a last name "jackson" care to elaborate plz?
we are an impatient bunch eh? i can only imagine who 8th gen civic and ep3 owners feel.
Why shouldn't we be? I think we have been taunted by this high boost kit for at least a year now.
I am in a state of quandary as to what I can sell to come up with some cash..... I don't want to sell anything that my almost 37 year old son is waiting for me to die to inherit..... I sure hope he will understand.
I don't think so. The little bastard has destroyed too damned many of my cars and motorcycles already.... He already has a Ridgeline and Acura RDX as well as a VW thing I gave him that he loaned to a friend a year ago that hasn't been returned..... Maybe if he grows up, but if he does he wouldn't appreciate it..... My dilemma is intensifying the more I think about it because the things he wants are appreciating in value and a Japanese econobox is.... well you know.... I think I am going to drink a beer and start looking around on the net and see what some of my crap is worth..... Why in the hell can't I grow up and quit jacking around with cars????
Hey guys just thought I might add this link here since i just saw it today. Not sure if it new or not... but seems to answer alot of questions.

That's definitely a new addition to the site. Can't wait for it to come out - great gains with just the intercooler!
Retail price: $1649 for High Boost upgrade... I wonder how much for just the intercooler setup.

Id guess about 600$ ish or so, I think the original highboost upgrade price was going to be 995$ without the intercooler addition.
Cant wait for the highboost w/intercooler to be ready for sale, Im ready to buy!!!!

I remember reading that aluminum pulleys weren't up to the extra load of driving the super charger..... I was thinking about getting the pulley before reading that and knowing that I would get the KWSC decided not to.
You can actually run it... however Oscar Sr. had mentioned to me his opinion on pulleys and I wouldnt run one on my car.




i emailed kraftwerks and they said there will be an introductory pricing of $4500 for the high boost when it does come out.
