Still have to send it my flash editor for the 93 tune. Car pulls great and has really good low rpm roll on the throttle performance even though the dyno graphs make it look other wise. Tq dip replaced by tq event!

I have the Mishimoto performance radiator installed with my v3 and I was able to safely install it with minimal clearance... but clearance nonetheless...

With some tweaking of OEM brackets, fabrication of a bracket, and the use of spacers this is what I did (My install was with a Beatrush brace bar installed):

Very nice build guys! I am so jealous. Want the HKS so bad. Hopefully end of the year can order it. I am wrapping my last bits of my car and hopefully will be on car by end of year.

I tweaked things as well to get the intercooler to fit. Spaced the Condenser back a bit & cut a notch out in the bumper to be able to remove the intercooler easily without removing it.

Update after a few months of winter driving:

Everything has been perfect. Car behaves completely normal.

Sorry Guyz, I had few times lately.

Seems to be the bypass/turbine that do this strange noise.

I had it few times on a Drift track when I fu**ed and stopped. Seems the compressor still pushing air too much because my engine was at +5000 RPM before stopping.

Conclusion : dont fuck up on track, and dont stop

Anyone running the e85? How reliable has it been?

Our shop car is running on the E85 tune. Run's great! Haven't had any issues.

Does the Greddy intake duct work with the v2 and v3 supercharger kits?

I'm sure, like the HKS duct, will require modification to the duct.

It looks like the greddy and legsport ducts go over the crash beam as opposed to the hks going behind. this is why ive asked.

Hello HKS owner, I am considering the V3 setup as my turbo kit was cancelled due to delays. My current exhaust setup was intended to use for a turbo setup but is loud for my liking NA (CS400, catted SME front pipe and Invidia R400). Thinking of dropping back to stock headers and to reduce the noise.
Would this choke the HKS much?

I'm running the FT86SF catted header, Tomei over pipe, stock front pipe and stock catback. Car runs perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned.

Bobster · 02-26-2017, 04:21 PM

Anyone got a V3 on stock headers?

Hey guys, I'm quite interested in the v3 kit. I was just wondering if anyone here has driven their car with the supercharger equipped in the winter. I dd my car and would love this kit if it can hold up through new england winters.

From experience, I don't think you'll have any issues. However, if you run a oil cooler the engine oil may not get up to operating temperature.
