Which Supercharger kit HKS vs. Others ?
Hi, hope some of you experts can help me decide quickly on a SC kit. I've been doing some research on the different SC kits available but just don't have the time to follow (dedicated) to these forums . First, this is my specs, situation, and what I'm looking for.
SPECS: 15 FR-S
- GReddy CS GT dual exhaust
- Motiv catted midpipe
- Tomei overpipe
- Tomei UEL uncatted headers
- Grimmspeed intake
Situation: I'm in the military so am always on the move and driving a lot, living in different places, cross-country sometimes. Car currently registered in TX so inspection is a little easier to pass with aftermarket parts...least last to my knowledge. I use my car as a daily driver, maybe once in a blue moon plan to take it to the track. Once in a while, get some leave time to work on my car...so far attached is what I've been able to come up with. So my theory was to have my FR-S get a SC kit for the drive-ability/street-ability (i.e. fun, feel) and reliability (its hard living in different locations to have dedicated maintenance or have any tools with me, some places I've been to refused to even try get my old Scion TC car on the rack because it was lowered).
Looking:Narrowed it down to (older systems) Jackson Racing, Innovate (Sprintex) intercooled, vs. (newer since I can't find much on comparison data) HKS V3 System. I'm actually leaning more towards HKS because of their name, reputation, R&D (there's 3 versions out...tells you it should have gotten a lot better)...but how does their specs compare? Is it more of a low end power boost? The reasons is because I usually never drive above 4000 RPM unless its trying to overtake someone, never do any "street racing", and don't foresee using this car as a "racing" car. So wanted a kit that produces more lower end torque/HP for the "feel" and fun aspect more than the top speed or overall HP gains, and again a conservative kit that won't blow my engine or making maintenance a headache over the long run.
