Kraftwerks Supercharger Owners Thread

FYI the belt is a Gates TP1200-8MGT-20 PowerGrip GT2 Twin Power V-Belt 92320041. You can pick them up online for about $65.

Finally got to drive the car today. Holy crap this thing is fun! I can't wait until I can get over to the tuner and get a custom tune.

Anyone have any word on the availability of a smaller pulley for the blower?

Thanks, that is a great price.

Anyone here using a Omi 3 bar on the kit? I would like to see how it's mounted. If you could please attached you pics. Thanks in advance.

It mounts just the like the OEM sensor does on the driver side of the intake manifold with one bolt.

quick update on C38 blower kit:
1. Kraftwerks does have a whole new molded pipe for C38 kit which they do provide, not some hacked-up couplers.
2. For those who have Circuit Werks lightweight pulleys, crank pulley seems to work just fine with the kit.
3. I was told the kit made 299whp on mustang dyno with stock header, overpipe back exhaust, fuel mods (pump and injectors) on 93 pump gas, and standard pulley. don't have the dyno sheet yet though.

Man, if I had a tuner close to me the C38 would have been the kit to buy.

someone will offer e-tune sooner or later

yesterday, I did my first lapping event with Kraftwerks and all I can say is wow, I have to re-learn to drive this car again since the shifting points and gear selection for the certain turns are completely changed
I also took some logs and my oil temps were about the same (260-265 F) with last time but I have to add the ambient temps were higher yesterday (highest was around 220F) but I noticed it recovers a lot quicker ( both oil and coolant temps) maybe I should combine my oil to air with an air to air , coolant temps were a bit higher and I think I might have left some air in the system when changing the radiator I will make sure there is no air left..

260 with an oil cooler is unacceptable... do you have air directed toward it?

Mike a few things worth the mention since I have OEM oil cooler and it depends on the radiator, I should get better temps when I burp the coolant system.. and since I had the same oil temps when I was NA (completely stock power) with lower ambient temps I can only guess it will get better, if not maybe I can consider adding an air to oil cooler on top of my OEM cooling system ( if possible) so that I can keep my OEM cooler for warming purposes.. I will provide more data

What were your coolant temps looking like? Was there a significant delta before/after the oil cooler? (we have existing data that shows that just adding a Rotrex supercharger doesn't significantly affect coolant temps on track).


*edit*

I just got around to watching your video. Do you normally shift early, even before the SC? Engine RPM has a direct correlation to oil temperature that is fairly independent of actual engine output.

So up at @Drift-Office today for tune refining after adding the 3" exhaust and came away with some really good results. Bob and Bill smoothed it out and it is not falling off at 6800rpm any more. I can't wait till tomorrow so I can drive it.
