what does that even mean?

The Sprintex blower is a completely different supercharger.

What that means is that he doesn't like the idea of the Innovate/Sprintex kit having all that supercharger weight up top while the Kraftwerks kit uses a smaller blower mounted lower.

Even so, that still makes little sense. I mean we aren't talking 100's of pounds here. With all the piping and the intercooler, and whatever else needed from the KW kit, what is really the weight difference?

I'm not bashing the KW kit either, I really like this kit and it was one I was watching prior to my Innovate purchase. I just didn't get the comment lol

To each his own.

Sorry, I didn't mean to strike a nerve there bud. The Innovate/Sprintex S/C is also one that I'm considering. I don't have any first-hand experience with the weight being higher up impacting drive-ability... my comment is mostly from a cosmetic standpoint. Seems like the PD Sprintex dynos show more mid-range potential while the KW/JR kits are showing more top-end. I am still in the market for one and just sharing some of my opinions. You know what they say... opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

You didn't strike any nerve, I just didn't know what you meant by your comment

But now that you have cleared that up thats because the KW/JR is a rotrex compared to the twin screw of the sprintex. Just different power bands/outputs.

Can't go wrong either way honestly

Zach3794 · 02-11-2014, 09:41 PM

If you're a nanny and you never open up the throttle then the innovate is probably for you

But if you like to push it to the top end where the power on the KW/JR kit dwells, into an area where traction is a relative unknown, this is your kit. lol

Shit Luck · 02-11-2014, 10:06 PM

So what kind of power numbers do we think this kit can make with fuel upgrades?

Zach3794 · 02-11-2014, 10:07 PM

@Shit Luck, I'll have good answers for you on Saturday. I already have the DW65c fuel pump, but stock injectors. I only did this to be compatible with E85, it wasn't a flow issue at all. Honestly, I will be surprised if we can't get this kit to run on E85 with stock injectors. Time will tell

OmarGC · 02-11-2014, 10:15 PM

Did your guys kit all ship with the clogged pulleys?

Zach3794 · 02-11-2014, 10:33 PM

It's supposed to. Did yours not?

Don't know yet... Kit should be here Friday and likely won't get to installing it until Sunday. Just more of a curiosity thing as I knew a few members who received earlier kits still have not.

Zach3794 · 02-11-2014, 11:32 PM

The kit should include everything you need. "Should" being the key word
