We are supposed to be seeing the Vortech at SEMA if the rumors are true.

@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.

Stock headers with HKS "Cat Back" exhaust.

Spec L or legamax?

HKS Australia · 09-17-2012, 03:43 AM

They don't actually specify which and I can't see either making a difference as neither will cause a restriction at this power level. The supercharger has an air inlet restrictor to limit power so the exhaust will still have plenty of flow left.

why in the world would you mount the supercharger in front of the intake throttle body?!

JDMenrique · 10-15-2012, 07:04 PM

They are a great manufacturer, but at this point you are paying a premium for the brand

Well, figure out another way to get the pulley in a good position for the belt (with room for a tensioner and/or idler puller) and good belt wrap.

It's not like they can just put it anywhere.

The Vortech is in roughly the same location. I have built a custom Rotrex setup before, and I was thinking about designing one for the BRZ/FRS. I gave this some thought, and would end up putting the SC in the same location.

It looks like more vendors are offering these kits.

- Has anyone in the U.S. installed one yet?
- Does anyone know what the supplied compressor is capable of handling?

Evasive has one in their shop car (the FR-S, not their BRZ). Was the cover story on DSport recently as well. Think they made ~220 hp? They post on here, ask them or

?

I think they developed a custom kit (probably which supported the development of the kit now for sale).

mnsayer · 02-21-2013, 12:05 AM

Im surprised there isn't more about this kit... are people not interested in HKS anymore?

civicdrivr · 02-21-2013, 01:40 AM

I think the initial price speculation scared people away. But ~$4500 doesn't seem too terrible. I wonder how much power this system can support though.
