hey mate, which website do you purchase it?
also, if you dont mind telling, how much did the whole thing cost you .. kit, tuning, etc? ... interested in boosting my car next year.

and of course, how much power did you end up with?

Thanks!

I had the sos kit with Paxton 1200 on my ap1 4.0' pully (9psi) made 235 kw atw.
Cost me over 10k to get them shipped installed & tuned
the kit is around 5k shipping and import duty around 2k
you will need to buy injectors, fuel pump & ecu to run the kit properly
i am using hondata k pro cost me around 2k including valve cover & other sensors
rc 650 injectors plus labor & tune.
If you want more power, get a 3.2' pully to increase boost and new map sensor as well

it is an amazing kit i have to say and my s drives like a dream. Smoked a few of my mates car on highway including stage 1 evo10 mr, 34 gtr ect

here is my engine bay

"the kit is around 5k shipping and import duty around 2k"
Isn't the kit made in the USA? I thought we had a free trade agreement with them-so we only have to pay gst? Unless shipping was super expensive. I imported a yamaha fzr waverunner and had to pay gst only on it

He was referring to customs, but ask them to describe it as a gift, or the value to be less than $1k. That's what I did when I bought I/h/e (PWD JDM, js racing and greddy respectively) individually, which were more than 1k.

I'm running the 3.2" and making 264kwatw at 13psi.,

The shipping for cargo is expensive and for big parts you really cannot get away from customs. You have to find a broker to clear the goods for you which will involve extra expenses.

Hi s2kjn
I got the spare 3.2' pully as well, does the belt slips? You are running #98 I guess for 264kw

Belt slipped much worse before I tightened it better. Doesn't slip as much, but I'm wondering why I'm not at 16psi as recommended by SOS. I may get an ASP pulley which apparently eliminates this at this size and see how I go..
