Please don't flame me for asking this question.


I have an 04 S2000 and i was looking to buy a supercharger this summer. I have decided that i want to get the kraftwerks s/c.

I am debating on getting the base kit or the hi boost kit.

I want to know how much does the base kit make at the wheel?

I know the hi boost kit make 360+ to the wheel, but the only down size to that is that you have to upgraded your clutch and pressure plate.

I have gotten a quote with the honda dealership and they said they will install +parts for 1200 dollars.

So if i get the hi boost kit +1200 dollars on top of that, i just don't want to spend that much more because i will have to charge it to my credit card.

I need to know what the base kit makes compare to the high boost kit and i want to know if it is worth it to get the hi boost kit rather than getting the base kit.


Any input will help thank you.

 

From the sounds of it, you want the high boost kit, but don't have the money to do the proper drivetrain upgrades at the same time.

My advice, wait longer and save up more money.

 

And don't have the stealership do your clutch...

 

You would need to upgrade your clutch eventually anyway... even for the low boost kit... the stock clutch will die out pretty fast... oem clamping force just sucks......

Do your clutch first then save up more money for the s/c...

if you do it in reverse.. it will cost you more cause of labor to remove the s/c in order to install the clutch.

 

also +1 on teh stealership doing the clutch job..they quoted me $975 for labor ONLY!! cause i was buying the CC st. 3 with light flywheel. i just talked to another shop thats respectible and got a quote for $475 labor only...

 

agreed on doing the clutch first. agreed on not going to the dealer.

if cost is the main issue - you may want to consider science of speed's SC system or vortech's new Sci supercharger. They're both significantly less expensive than the kraftwerks kit and both are more upgradeable - though you lose a little bit of bottom end torque
