In about 2 weeks from now I am going to purchase a Kraftwerks High Boost kit for my 04 S2k. Has anyone else on here bought this and could share their experiences, good or bad, HP gains etc I would greatly appreciate it.

A little about my car:

2004
105k miles
completely stock motor and drivetrain
SOS sport clutch
HKS High Power cat-back exhaust

I don't track or race my car. I pretty much baby it, it gets driven less than 1000 miles a year. I don't plan on doing anything else to the car after I install this kit as far as upgrades, or make more power. I just plan to bolt this kit on, and leave the rest of the car as is.

 

I would rethink my kit choice if I were you, Kraftwerks is dead brother. Call up science of speed if your in the supercharger market. There's also TTS in Europe if you just have to have a Rotrex.

Really?? Why is Kraftwerks dead? I was thinking Science of speed since I have their clutch in my car, but Kraftwerks seems to be more what I'm looking for. I know SOS has more potential for power but I would like to stay in the 350hp range. I'm looking for the "bolt on and go" like Kraftwerks setup. I don't want to do any further tuning like I would with SOS. It would be very inconvenient for me because I would have to travel 5+ hours to Chicago just to tune my car. I've thought very long on this and want to stick with Kraftwerks because their setup is more what I'm in the market for.

 

sos is bolt on and go. great kit and same power band. dont get fooled by kraftwerks saying there power comes on sooner. its BS.

 

i have the kraftwerks kit (started out as kraftwerks now modified for racing) for a daily driven car it is the way to go, much cleaning looking under the hood IMHO

 

Thanks slinkydog. I'm just sold on Kraftwerks. They seem so simple and overall a great system. SOS seem good too but like I said before, I have their clutch in my car and I'm not that pleased with it. It feels like stock normal driving, but if you go WOT when you shift at 8k it feels like you hit a brick wall and it wont go into gear and you have to push pretty hard to get it into gear. With that being said, if I'm not happy with their clutch, I feel like I may possibly have issues with their S/C kit.

 

Sounds like your clutch wasnt installed correctly. Fwiw

 

I took it to Honda and had the dealer install the clutch. Other than hard shifting at redline, it shifts like stock.

Going to the dealer to have anything installed is your first problem. Should be your last option for any repair whatsoever. Kraftwerks is dead as in not doing business anymore. The founders left the company and last I heard skunk 2 has taken over what remains. Which means zero customer service and basically no replacement parts. Have you even tried contacting them. Last time I tried there was no response. Good luck
