If you're able to contact HKS directly ask them for their LHD version- yes, it does matter, and yes they make both versions.

You seem very knowledgeable on this kit. What are the differences?

Thanks
Knowledgeable is pretty relative

I got what I said from this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/968...ercharger-kit/ although it doesn't detail exactly what they did in order to make it fit.

What warren said is correct. theres a lhd and rhd version. only difference is the mounting bracket for the fuse box. this kit does require a smaller battery such as the oddessy pc680

It costs money to import... You'll have to pay for shipping and customs fees if you buy through Nengun.

Plus let's be fair, distributors need to make money on selling products...

The credit card company will also charge a fee for currency exchange.

Good to know. Any I've had in the past did, but it's been a while since I've been abroad.

Correct, not all companies charge foreign transaction fees. Most travel cards do not.

If you use something like PayPal however, they charge 2.5%.

if you buy it from Japan directly. Our dollars pretty strong. Air mailed is about $150.00
It's a pretty stellar deal for a well engineered supercharger. The Arvou S2000 isn't really running
that many modifications and has a full interior. Hard to believe it did Tsukaba in 58 seconds.
The ASM car is like $300,000 and can't run that time. I think it's because the torque produced by this
supercharger is almost double stock and has the stock HP/torque curve. For less than a
cat back, headers, and an intake this is the best bang for your buck. No other bolt on is
going to give you almost 400 horsepower. These are running high tens too. Anyways, just letting
everyone know how cheap these are at our exchange rate. Don't know how long that's gonna last.

The link posted for the kit for sale does not show the numbers you are quoting. Looking at the dyno charts it is not double the stock torque nor does it look like 400whp. It looks like your standard low boost kit that will yield about 300 at the wheels that you could get from any Comptech, Vortech, or SOS kit in the used section for a couple grand. Or even a greddy turbo kit.

It appears that they are using crank numbers as well. 330ps at the crank is going to be around 270-280 at the wheels. And I am sure the dyno chart used by the manufacturer is on the optimistic side. The Kraftwerks kit makes the numbers you are talking about, but it has its share of reliability issues it seems.

I don't see engine management included, and the bigger injectors and fuel pump are extra add on in the Nengun link.
