With a little cutting and trimming I was able to make the PW:JDM pulley cover work with the kit.

I am going the same route glad to see this but can't wait to see that SC added to my engine bay.

Nice! It's going to look great! Just make sure you get yourself a dremel, lol

Can't wait for the updated tune!

Already have one and a ton of cutting disks!!

Working on a better version, which I am hoping to release near the end of February. This should also work with the Jackson Racing kit, which is very similar in design. Just as an FYI.

@digital_assassin Just talked to Bob @ Driftoffice he is ordering my KW Supercharger tomorrow. We are hoping to do the install at the end of this month.

Is there a pdf of the install instructions available?

Check the op

Oh duh, thanks. I searched the thread for "instructions" lol

Nice Wally! If you're going to Darren's on Sunday I can give you a ride so you know what to expect.

I've ordered my kit today as well. Hope to get it installed in a couple months.

No kidding?, remote tune or getting Vex Performance to do it all?

Also thinking about it, undecided between Innovate and Kraftwers... March 6 is Order Day!!!

If I dont have the tune how much it will cost?

Who has dyno sheets for me to link to the first post?

Yup. Pretty excited. Getting it installed at Compact Tuning Lab with KW's base tune / Ecutek. Will figure out tuning after.

Dyno sheet!

Delicious Tuning basemap. According to Kaizen tuning stock 86's baseline around 135hp on this dyno. They say it's the lowest reading dyno they know.

Bill is the man

Other mods? Fuel? Looks like good fun....

Only a 2.5in catback!

You made that much power without fuel in the car. motherofgod.jpg

Lol 93

@DeliciousTuning's magic!

Grabbed a Kraftwerks kit tonight....installing tomorrow. Next Saturday I will be working with @Delicious Tuning using Infamous Performance's dyno to perfect the base tune. This was mentioned earlier in the thread by Bill to be done for all current owners by the end of this month. I will keep you all updated with the progress being made on the tuning front, and hopefully be able to provide a detailed photo log of the install.

Cheers

Little update...after a long day of drinks and car stuff...the kit is installed! Couple of mishaps, first of which was that not all the hoses for the transmission cooler were provided, and that the crankcase breather extension hose was missing entirely as well. Perhaps the biggest fail was the absence of the MAP sensor that was supposed to be included. Nevertheless, I got everything I needed in quick time (it uses a honda accord map sensor), loaded up the Delicious Tuning basemap, and took her for a spin. With all aids on, in a straight line, she will gladly break loose if pushed. Very fun to drive, and we will see what further tuning next Saturday brings!

Of the S/C kits out there I'm most intrigued by the Kraftwerks kit, but this write-up gave me the impression that KW does not care enough to get simple things right (ie complete part list). If simple QA like this is missed, makes me question about quality of everything else. Seems unacceptable for a $5k kit.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. As I'm testing for @Delicious Tuning, I highly doubt this was a kit that you'd order from a normal vendor. Not a typical scenario. In any case, the quality of all the parts is really extremely nice. The MAP sensor I'm sure was either an honest oversight or perhaps something that just wasn't going to be included in this test kit, and a $5 hose really doesn't bother me. I'm going to drive it around a bit today and see what else I can come up with :)

Gotta say....being able to spin the wheels through the first three gears is quite the experience. And I mean spin, not chirp. One other thing I noticed is that the middle intercooler pipe on the cold side (passenger) was not a good fit for me. It did not reach properly at first and actually ended up blowing the pipe off. My good friend who helped me install this kit happened to have a much beefier and better sized coupler from his EVO that ended up doing the job at the end. If a couple hoses, cheap sensor, and one bad coupler were all that needed to be done to boost this car...I'm extremely satisfied.

Just put on my kit today.

I think I got your map sensor, I did not get extra hose though.


My kit had everything, my only real complaint is that the oil loop instructions could have been better.


That and finishing up. Opening the ecutek Box and finding a piece of paper that says email during business hours for basemap is a bit of a downer.

Other than that the most trouble I had was with the bumper. Which is no fault of kW.

Whoever is boxing these kits up needs to put the beer down! Lol

Oil routing instructions were definitely sub par. Neither of us got the crankcase extension hose clearly. Did you get two map sensors? lol

And yes, the bumper is a bitch. Mine does not fit flush...we got done around 1am and I was not about to fiddle with it to try and make it fit perfectly. Any words of advice for when I decide to tackle it again later this week?

Oh and here's a little pointer for you guys. The place they ask you to mount the oil filter is pretty lame, but I have a better way if you wanna buy about $10 worth of same size hosing. On the left side (passenger) of the big mounting bracket are two extra holes from where the pre production kit had the oil reservoir mounted. I decided to mount the oil filter there to avoid a lot of unnecessary ass backwards hose routing. Less bends and kinks, much more straight forward. I'll take a photo soon. :)

Yup 2 map sensors in my box,

did you remove the 2 shrouds from the sides of the grill before putting the bumper back on? i didn't notice that had to be done till the bumper was hanging by the directionals which kinda sucked.

going to pull it again tomorrow, need to rotate the screw of the ic couplers out of the way of grill, think thats the 1/2' i'm lacking atm.

the filter took me awhile to position with smooth routing still not really happy with the location, but it should be workable.

Yeah you definitely got my map sensor lol.

And yes, the 2 factory shrouds for directing air to the radiator had to be removed so the bumper would go back on at all. And yeah, mine definitely needs to be pulled again when I'm feeling motivated so that I can make space to have it align properly.

Where did you mount your filter? The place they recommend, by the factory intake bracket, is a terrible location. My place works much better. I'll go take a picture right now.

i mounted at the suggested location but spent about 10 minutes fiddling with different positioning before finding something acceptable since the instructions just said use the hole but not which way to stick things

@utekineir - I was wondering if you ever pulled the trigger. Get that tune tomorrow and tell us what you think!
@Zach3794 - The oil filter is something I want to tweak on mine too. I bent the shit out of that bracket trying to get the hoses to not have any sharp bends while still bolting to that location. I've just been lazy and haven't tackled it. I'm waiting for the oil cooler to do any more work on the car and instead just enjoying the hell out of driving it :)

This is how I laid out the filter. Makes much more sense to me personally. :)

Do you have a specific oil cooler coming? I was trying to figure out how I'm going to get the thermostatic sandwich plate to clear, though I saw one installed on Kraftwerk's product photo for this kit.

@KraftWerks is getting closer to releasing their oil cooler which is going to work with this kit. Last discussions I had it was not thermostatic but that's not really a problem for me as the climate in Oregon isn't too cold, this past week doesn't count LOL. They've also stated that the Robispec solution works as well but good luck getting in touch with him and if you do plan on waiting 6 months to get it.

The tracks are opening up around here in March and I won't get on the track without one installed so hopefully I can get my hands on one soon. Out of curiosity has anyone been able to log oil temps yet?
