Street price on this around what the preorder price was?
|
Pre order was around 3700 I believe

Pre-order was $600 less than what it's posted on their site now.
|
Yes I know, my question is how close the number vendors are actually selling them for is to the preorder amount.
Street price not map/retail price. |

Ah I'll wait then. Vortech and innovate for example have a pretty decent gap between msrp and what they can be bought for.

Got my tracking # Should be here Tuesday! Have an appointment on Feb 7 for a dyno tune from @Kaizen Tuning
|
https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/...60402370_o.jpg
So my KW kit finally came in, along with a few others lol. I'm just waiting on the Ecutek components so I can install it. Can't wait to get this installed! I'll post up some pics of the install once we start which should be soon I'm assuming. If anyone is interested, we still have a few of these bad boys left in stock. Is everyone running the KW tune or did you guys go elsewhere for tuning? Performance wise I'm stock so I'm just going to run their tune for now. Any feedback on it? |
@PRORICAN & @ExcelerateRep - your added to the list. Install your kit and post the Dyno!
|
Thought I'd mention I've really been beating on the car and there have been zero issues with the kit so far. Super happy! Track season is just around the corner where it will really get to see some abuse :). Us Pacific NW folk only see track time from March to October.
|
Have the even released the OTS map yet? @digital_assassin you'll probably be adding me to the list soon within 2 more Vortech belt snaps lol
|
What are you refering to with OTS map @OmarGC?

Waiting for a response from KW on the kit with the 70mm upper pulley vs the standard 75mm upper pulley(standard in their mass distributed kit) before I submit my order.
Trying to compare how much boost it produces at 7200rpm vs the 75mm pulley designed to spin the rotrex to 7800rpm on their base maps. To me it's sounding like the 70mm is the route to go, I do not want to rev anywhere close to 7800. I have a long history with Subaru oil pumps in regards to cavitation. |

Received my new belt cover, need to install it. I've been driving with snow/ice tires here and haven't had any issues on the ice. I've had to keep it around 2k rpm to keep the rear in check, though.
I love this kit, the power band is great. It is all you need from 2.5k to about 4k rpms. Then if you really want to have fun, you have that last 3.5k! |
who here is running the c38 compressor? any pic of that setup?

Looking forward to seeing how this kit performs on our XLR8 BRZ. We've had great experience with the Kraftwerks kits with the Civic, S2000 and Miata platform so the FT86 platform should perform well too. Thanks for the feedback. |

Also guys, just for reference the 70mm pulley produces approx. 12.5psi vs 9.5ish stock 75mm pulley. |
Of course your boost may vary due to exhaust restrictions/rpm range.

Are you trying to instill doubt in a cogged belt? I'm pretty sure you know the answer to your question. |

Finished the install last night! Thanks to @digital_assassin for the helpful tips, @FT-86 SpeedFactory for the great deal and fast shipping, @KraftWerks for designing the kit, and @DeliciousTuning for the basemap!
Here's a pic from last night. Still need to install the bumper but I'm debating whether or not to remove the grill and expose the intercooler for that "bling" factor. I still haven't really ran it hard since it decided to snow last night but I took an easy ride around base and everything seems fine so far. Also didn't realize how loud the whine is but I like it! Lol http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...BDB055477E.jpg |
The whine is going to be tamed once you get your new pulleys. Night and day difference. Whine is still present when driven hard though :)
|
Your new pulleys? You a re talking about the 70 pulley ?Or we are suppoosed to get new pulley to quiet down the system a bit?
|
Idler pulleys with teeth
|
So Kraftwerks is going to send us teethed idler pulley?
|
Installed the bumper and dremeled out the grill!
http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/x...2D63AD8905.jpg Still waiting on clean dry roads to hoon a bit and get some datalogs. |
Question for you owners. Do you find the feel of the car changes at all during regular driving after installing this kit?
Sometimes installing a supercharger can cause a car to decelerate harder when you let off the gas, making the feel a bit more twitchy/jumpy during normal city driving. |
We are currently working on some new Beta maps for the Kraftwerks kits using full Speed Density and they should be quite a bit better when the latest revision is released.
