I have a 343WHP Comptech setup on stock clutch & diff - no problems at all.
Depends on your driving style I have a lot of mechnical sympathy so no launches or super fast gear changes.

 

I can be a very aggressive driver, which worries me with such a setup. No intention to do hard launches, but I will be doing some hard driving otherwise. I am the type of driver who is either on or off the gas. I switch between grandma mode and speed racer. Hopefully it will balance out haha. I am however, very anal about my cars and tend to go overboard with maintenance, etc.

With that in mind... What sort of issues/concerns might you anticipate, if any?

 

If you use an HKS Fcon you can run any FI kit on your car.

 

I think what I will probably end up doing is just going with kraftwerks base kit. I really want to just keep things as simple as I can and not have to worry about a possible need for a new diff and the required clutch/flywheel upgrade that goes along with the high boost kit. The hard part about this is the fact that I could have an extra 40whp or so for the same price. I may do the base kit then swap out the pulley for the high boost pulley when my clutch eventually burns out.

 

I wouldn't be concerned about the effect of the header on SMOG if you are running a test pipe...

You can get a comptech reinforced OEM diff if you don't want to shell out all the $ for the r200 conversion... and you can get it in a few different ratios (to better fit the SC power delivery, I believe most people run 4.44 or higher).

With a test pipe it would be a quick and easy swap to stock for smog; whereas, with the header I would have to remove rotex to get the header in and out....


Will definitely look into a comptech reinforced diff.... What are we looking at for labor hours on such a job?

 

does the blower really need to come off for the header? looking into my engine bay it doesnt feel like it.

Was thinking of replacing my berk w/ a js or toda

 

is there a particular header that is suggested for the KW kit? and or is there viable gains for the extra money? or is the KW kit good the way it is?

 

I am pretty sure the blower will have to come out to get a header in.

Kingsta the kw reflash was made for stock header so with a aftermarket one gains should be very little..... I already had it in there so i just left it and plan to get more out of it when hondata releases K-pro for MY06+
