Interesting. Good to know. Despite the fact that the HKS system is 'in-house', there's a fascinating document that can be found by going to Google and searching "Rotrex Technical Handbook". This was basically the tech manual supplied by Rotrex for anyone developing a kit for a car that utilized their supercharger system. As such, it goes into quite a bit of detail on the design of the traction drive system and how it functions and what can damage it as well as detailing how a system must be designed so as not to cause damage to the unit or ancillary components, etc. Though the HKS system is not Rotrex, both systems are centrifugal superchargers that utilize a traction-drive system. So the design principles are the same. And, considering that there doesn't appear to be a HKS Technical Handbook out there for download, this might make interesting reading for those wanting to know the ins and outs of how this type of supercharger system operates. |

Curious if anyone has taken measurements of their traction fluid temperatures after periods of brisk driving and what temps you've been seeing?

I have a first run Version 2 kit from Japanland and you feel when it engages big time.

There is one roller with a variable geometry. I have seen it myself in 2 different HKS units. It engages as a result of centrifugal force above a certain revs.

I'd love to be able to fix my unit. I have a car sitting in the garage until that time. Looks like unless HKS decides to do the right thing I will be all the rest of the year garaged.
Kylebrz- did you already install and use the newly fabbed annulus? I'd want to if I could. I really need help!!!

Correct. HKS did this to preserve fuel economy while cruising. In some instances, the roller has stuck in the open position, not engaging the supercharger and subsequently, not making boost. Time will tell, I suppose, if their novel little idea turns out to be a problem area.
