Latest edition of installation manual (E04215-T590044-00) contains some better specified warnings about spare parts and maintenance. The most important are : verify oil level and oil filter upon mileage/usage, by-pass valve.

It's easy to order the parts to keep for urgent maintenance:
- 17672-002100 Bypass Valve, JPY 2,916 (USD 27,30), sending excluded from Japan
- 12002-AK015 Traction oil filter*, JPY 3,780 (USD 35,40), sending excluded from Japan *Change 5 years or 50k Miles (70k KMs)

12002-AK029 Traction Oil as Oil filter, 22,680 JPY (USD 213,00)

This is the oil spec for Europe/Japan/Asia climate area. For NA and NEurope cold climate area (winter below -10C°) it needs other code of Traction Oil

I ordered from Japex Ltd,#1 by-pass valve and #1 oil traction filter for the price I wrote above; JPY 2,600 of EMS sending to Europe.
Here I due VAT and Custom fees for the 26% of total.

Going strong just not revving excessively or unloaded (clutch disengaged) to be cautious. This time I think it's going to hold up great. Really enjoying the car's extra oomph where the torque dip is otherwise. And finally got the oil cooler sorted out so pretty happy now. And pretty comfortable with keeping it going long term.

My V2 came with the HKS Flash Editor, so i used that to flash my ecu after the setup. Now i am thinking to getting a replaced ecu and flashing it with delicious tune. do you think this will be a better move on my part as there is no hks tuners around?

So your FA20 is Japanese ECU?

pictures on my IG: andyb727

ill have videos up soon once i fix the crank pulley pin that i bent.

hey andrew, i have sent you req on instagram, i wanna see the tial bov on the sc kit, i also might have a few questions about it.

Pretty happy with the supercharger. Great performing product which I've stuck with and will confidently continue to use it as it was meant to be.

check fluid level as usual weekly check list and belt tensioner reference point each 800/900 miles is my best suggestion to be sure of system's efficiency.

i have the SC v2 kit with the flash editor. no other bolt ons, stock exhaust and manifold. i am thinking of going catless uel headers and i know the issue of CEL, but hks has a map ofr the NA cars on the flash editor which gets red of the CEL (Code P0420).

SO my question is, will i get the code with the catless headers, and what can i do to prevent it.

FYI there are no HKS tuners where i live.

So HKS Flash editor runs only on Japanese ROM.
You need to identify the stock ROM and manage the right flasher update as well described in data sheet of HKS.
You can read in warnings that HKS talks about some Cel issues in several ROM, not for all.

BESIDE this you need to run editor ONLY for the setup they listed on first page of install manual.
Therefore you cannot flash on a car with catalyzed. The header must be the HKS one, a light metal cat.
I suggest you to find a ecutek tuning suite or any other if you get trouble to manage HKS flasher.
All directions and data sheet are only in Japanese for non USDM flasher as I think you get.
See warnings on bottom about CEL issues:


....を装着した際、走行条件によりP0420(触媒異常)エラーが発生しチェックランプが点灯する場合 がありますが故障ではありません。
　 初期化ツールVer.2.04以降の PHASE2データは、P0420(触媒異常)エラーを【無効】に設定してありますので、チェックランプの 点灯を回避することができます。
　 PHASE1データは、純正の設定と同じP0420(触媒異常)エラーが【有効】の設定になっています。


, The P0420 (catalyst abnormality) error may occur depending on driving conditions and the check lamp may be lit but this is not a malfunction. Since the P0420 (catalytic error) error is set to [Invalid] in PHASE 2 data of the initialization tool Ver. 2.04 and later, it is possible to avoid lighting the check lamp. For PHASE 1 data, the same P 0420 (catalyst abnormality) error as the genuine setting is set to [Enable].
