You'd want them for power transmission purposes anyway, as you can feel the slop in this car real well once you throw on summer shoes. |

That must be with a BRZ-edit flash ? I mean a ECuTeck flash would nearly 33% of the price.

The current price of $3495 is including the ECUTEK cable and flash. (Assuming there are no ECUTEK, or other component cost increases.) This has been mentioned, but the cable is treated as a loss leader and the tune as a development expense. These costs are absorbed in to the total price of the kit. If you factor in the average price of an ECUTEK cable and canned flash (included) the supercharger kit's price is even lower then some JDM exhaust systems. Short version, we just do not make any money on the cable...

If we already have a cable and license, will that price be discounted? If so, do you know by how much? There is no need for me to have 2 licenses and 2 cables, so hopefully I can just pay for the tune only. |

I recall them saying WAY back that the price would be the same regardless of if you have a cable or not, because they are not charging you for the cable. Hell, he just said it again in this post. They don't make money on the cable, it's counted as a loss leader. That means that the kit would cost the same, even if you tell them "hey, keep the cable, give it to someone else"

There are plenty of people who will buy your cable, so just sell it on the forums if you decide to buy the kit.

Are they still planning to offer an intercooler upgrade kit? If that's a certain, I may go for non-intercooled since it seems like they won't be releasing the intercooled kit at the same time as the non-intercooled.

In the same boat @Draco-REX...want the Intercooled kit, but will probably buy the non-intercooled and look to upgrade down the road when its released (or offered).
Just something about running F/I without an Intercooler makes the tightness of my pants from this kit turn flaccid and loose lol |

However, this helps ease some of my hesitation to go non-intercooled: http://kennebell.net/KBWebsite/Commo...romcatalog.pdf Pay particular attention to the blue thermometer at 5.8 psi and 8.8 psi. Those IAT's are really not bad for non-intercooled FI. Of course this is not actual data from this kit but it is something to consider. |
