This kit relies on engine torque to spin the compressor. When there's less torque available at the crank, the compressor can slow down and push less air.

Turbos can get around this because they have no direct mechanical coupling to the crank.

Lots of love for the rotrex unit, but a little disappointed in the HKS pricing however.

A rotrex with the bracket with my own piping and a EcuTek would be mint and come out much cheaper...

It actually uses engine RPM to gain its RPM. This is why the boost is tied to engine RPM and you dont make max boost till max RPM.

It has nothing to do with torque.

4k rpm = X rpm on the compressor so it is not a boost issue.

Thats pretty typical of SC. Broad powerband that falls off up top while turbos typically wont have as much down low but build with RPM's.

It only falls off because they are using a restrictor in the inlet to keep the boost/flow in check at high rpm with a smaller SC pulley vs. killing the midrange with a really large SC pulley. If this SC was unrestricted, in would most likely make peak power at redline.

Yes to that

As for the dip, that is 99% likely to the short comings in the tuning product

With an ECUTEK tune that dip would disappear as the bit of manifold pressure plus good tune - be dip free curve

I need to buy and install my own spark plugs?! Deal-breaker right there!!

@HKS Australia, what exhaust system is this kit tested with? Makes a big difference if it's being tested with a stock system or a Hi-Power system, stock header vs. aftermarket, etc.

jackson racing and vortech may come up with a supercharger kit that i think could come cheaper than hks. that may be worth waiting for.
