I was interested in the HKS V2, until I read the difficulties the people who had them had when they broke down. It seemed very difficult and costly to get a replacement blower from HKS - are you guys doing anything to streamline the replacement process? Is there a warranty?

All HKS products have a warranty valid for the territory they are sold in. So if you're in the USA, and you buy a HKS product from a US retailer, your warranty is valid through the retailer you purchased it from.
If you're in the USA and you buy a HKS product from a shop in Japan (for example), you'll have to pursue a warranty case with that shop in Japan. If you're in Russia (for example) and import a HKS part from a distributor in Japan, you'll have to pursue your warranty case with that distributor in Japan. There's no way for anyone outside that territory to intervene or help. Our objective isn't to run anyone through a ringer if there is an issue, but we do have to follow the rules and verify legitimacy case by case. And to date, there have been 0 HKS s/c failures in the USA. |

How much bigger is the intercooler? the picture on HKSusa site of the 'kit' looks exactly like the V2.

The core is thicker, but I don't have a spec from Japan and my car is on a trailer somewhere between MI and CA so I can't measure at the moment

Also, I'm curious why HKS switched back to the original V1 design of the blower if V2 was so good? |

I ask because on the HKS websites themselves I see various options for exhaust manifolds with and without hi flow cats, plus an 'R type' or 'super exhaust' version which uses no catalytic converter in the header itself but one it in the front/centre pipe. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/en/produc...ust/index.html It'd be great to know for sure what type of exhaust + cat (or completely cat less) combo the included tunes are intended to work with. Fully understand that you guys won't be able to confirm that the flashable tunes will work with each and every permutation and combination of aftermarket exhaust parts out there but if you could please at least double confirm the exact specs of the exhaust components that the included flashable tunes were designed to work with (part numbers/specs/cats etc.) then it'd make it tons easier for folks to determine whether their own exhaust setups would work with the flash kit tunes or not. Sorry to be pedantic but knowing whether or not the HKS flash option will work with my HKS exhaust setup (I have the header + exhaust combo 'SUPER EXUAUST SYSTEM' on the JDM website) would be a major purchase decision point for me personally. I like the refinements that have been made since V1, the price is very competitive and I have been looking for a quality FI kit that comes with dealer/out of the box tunes that will work with my (decatted) exhaust setup for EVER - literally years. If this is indeed such a solution then you will have made my year and will take my money. Assuming that these flashable tunes in question here are NOT Ecutek?

I believe their system with the optional OTS tunes will include a device similar to the OFT with several pre-calibrated tunes. The catback is not vital to a tune and most likely it will include calibration for both the first and second cat deleted.
