yah, what's so special about the stock crank pulley that aftermarket ones don't work?

 

if they have been in buisness that long, they should be able to, i don't see why not.

 

good question. maybe the fits stock parts are more durable than we give them credit for?

 

No.

so mr.jackson, any word yet on the intercooler price/availability?

 

Lightweight crank pulleys are not supported for a few reasons. First, they do not always maintain the stock crank size. The crank pulley is what turns the supercharger, and the size of the crank pulley helps determine the amount of boost, not just the supercharger pulley.

A smaller crank pulley on our Base kit will produce more boost than intended.

Also, if you do a Google search on lightweight crank pulleys, you might find some interesting information. We're not here to put down other products, but we have worked with street and race engines for a long time now. Oscar Sr. easily has 30+ years of experience building Honda race engines.

All Jackson Racing championship-winning race cars have used a harmonic dampened crank pulley. The Skunk2 9-sec NA drag engines use harmonic dampened crank pulleys. NASCAR, IMSA, F1... Every great engine builder that we have met uses harmonic dampened crank pulleys.

Now I'm not trying to start "thread fire" (Can I say that? Does that make sense?), I'm just trying to explain why we do not recommend lightweight crank pulleys with our kits.

Under Drive Pulleys-
Under drive pulleys for your various accessories affect belt length. Our belt length has been determined using stock components. All of our durability testing has been with stock components.

Also, under drive pulleys affect your accessory performance at low speed. The small performance gain, if any, will not be important once you have boost.

Thanks for the info Oscar! JDMChris, i skimmed thru the write-up you had posted (b4 you just deleted it[?]) on the dangers of lightweight pulleys, some great info there as well! Thanks guys...

 

Heres some good info that I searched and found about Crank Pulleys!

Bypass Valves and Blow-Off valves are similar. The only differences would be:

Blow-Off valves vent to atmosphere, not back into the intake system.
Bypass valves release pressure back into the intake system.

The bypass valve on this kit is an OE-quality bypass, so the sound is not extraordinarily loud. But you can hear it!

I figure that this bypass will satisfy everyone. Quiet, yet noticeable.

If you have changed the brake pads on your car, and have a mechanical sense, you can probably install the kit yourself.

But if you are not comfortable with installing the kit, any experienced mechanic will be able to follow the detailed instructions and complete the install. So the shop you mentioned will be able to install the kit.

I have taken the kit on and off the car so much, I could probably do it blind-folded. So we base our estimated time by having someone who has not touched the kit at all, do an install. This helps with instruction clarification as well.

good to hear! though i think i'll still be getting a shop to do it..

 

That's great to hear, but I'd probably take a look at the instructions first, cause I think I could do it... rather than paying someone to do it. Man I am so excited, haha can't wait till I get my hands on one of these bad boys.

 

why cant you use aftermarket pulley with the supercharger?

 

read above.

 

any further idea of when the supercharger will be released for ordering and pricing and finalizing on what will be included with the sc kit

 

Kraftwerks Home release date has not been announced yet.

 

i dont know if anyone ask this Question yet... but what does kit comes with
P.S: nvm i read it on the website... thanx

 

Did you find anything that limits vehicle speed that could be modified when installing the kit?

 

curious...what is the reason asking about the speed limiter? I ask since you seem persistent in finding out. also do you exceed the speed limit on a regular basis or have a need to go that speed?

I doubt they would have it removed since I have an apexi super afc in a s14 and it doesn't work since it still doesn't prevent the fuel cut. piggybacks usally trick sensers but to trick the ecu of a speed limiter would be hard since it needs the info to provide fuel and timing especially in an A/T.

 

I hope this loooooong wait must mean major quality boost...will it be carb legal and any listing of authorized dealers to install the sc kit??
