I don't remember off hand, I don't put a lot of miles on my car though. I've only got 30,000 on the clock and I've had it since 2012.

Going to finally attack the install this week, was just waiting on some rad hoses an the Kraftwerks Oil Cooler kit.

This applied when I had to get one for a JRSC but I had to have it ordered from Jackson racing. Unless you have the exact specs, most stores won't be able to help (Napa, advanced, auto zone, O'Reillys)

scionfr_s · 05-12-2015, 03:51 PM

Or anyone kW a size of vacuum T connector?? A link where to buy it would be great... Thanks

They sell assortment vacuum connectors at most auto stores. Otherwise take the brake booster hose off and go to home depot and get a T from the in-ground sprinkler connectors. That's the cheapest route.

I was told to send it to kraftwerks who will send it to rotrex in Denmark for warranty eval. Or I could buy a new one at the core charge price, and if my warranty claim is approved then I get reimbursed for it.

I'll probably end up buying a new one versus waiting for rotrex to approve the warranty claim. It's cruising weather and I got used to a boosted FRS... Going back to NA would be too depressing.

SC made it to KraftWerksUS today. Will update on the warranty claim when I hear back. I know some are waiting to hear back on if rotrex will approve the warranty claim due to the cogged belt design.

If the cogged belt design would be an issue for us geting the blower warranteed by Rotrex. Then a revision of the kit should be done with serpentine belt. I wonder if Rotrex did approved the cogged design and if they did then they should honor the warranty simple as that. Good thing @KraftWerks are great to deal with, never had a better customer service like them. It's still a win, win for us that the car would still run run without the SC belt.

Kraftwerks C38 owner on Facebook just windowed his block in 2nd gear part throttle.

Delicious e-tuned at 17psi on the high boost pulley with E85. Stock motor.

Same guy that shredded a belt a few weeks ago.

High boost pulley on c38 is probably a big no no without a built motor. Reg pulley on c38 is more than enough with injectors and tuning.

I was just about to say that haha. If youre running high boost c38 on a stock motor you have to be expecting something to break eventually.

17 PSI stock internals, that's just crazy

86SPEED · 05-13-2015, 05:54 PM

Im at 19.2 psi for just under a year and close to 15k miles.. been fine so far..

got some video coming soon, though the high speed pulls were done at over 4500 ft elevation and about 17psi , the other pulls show the normal boost around 19psi
