Hey everyone,

I was one of the many that were eagerly waiting for this kit to be released from the start. In preparation, I installed a JR oil cooler and purchased a koyo radiator to deal with any heat issues. I also added a remote bleeder for my clutch slave cylinder in case the new blower manifold made it difficult to bleed in the future. See pics below...

Below shows the remote bleeder for the clutch slave:

Made a new mount to relocate the JR oil cooler forward to give room for the Edelbrock heat exchanger:

I acquired the kit last Friday (10/2) and installed it Saturday. Needed to wait till Monday to send Edelbrock my ECU info to get the Carb calibration tune. I totally agree with NotSoJDM that the install went very smoothly. All of the components and especially the blower itself was of such high quality and workmanship. I definitely felt like I got my money's worth with this kit.

It took few start cycles for the ECU to get settled, but once it did...Holy crap! This thing f'ing hauls! It's unsettling at first because you are so use to an FR-S accelerating like a snail. The power is very linear and feels like you have a larger motor. No wringing out the RPM's to get the power. The torque is already there. I've taken this through the canyon and it has little problem pulling up hill. This supercharger has definitely quickened this 3 year old car. With all that said, I do feel that the CARB tune is conservative. There is definitely more potential left on the table.

FYI, I currently have the OE header and exhaust system. I'll be getting a tune using a catless header later this month.

If you are already in the market for forced induction, I guarantee you won't be disappointed with this option.
