KraftWerks - "Love It or Leave It" Program
This is a great offer for anyone considering a supercharged S. Kraftwerks is not going to lower the price of the kit because they are not marking it up any more than they have to to provide a Rotrex (high efficiency) blower and all the supporting hardware that comes with the package deal.
They've fixed the tensioner pulley by adding a supporting member that will equalize the force on the twin bearings in the assembly.
They've fixed the idler pulley by increasing it's size from two inches to three inches.
They will certainly address the failing waterpump pulley problem in time. Meanwhile there are folks that are producing an 8mm thick 7075 billet pulley without lightening holes that weighs less than the OEM pulley for a reasonable price.
If you want about 360 whp with a quiet blower and a linear power curve look no further. KW FTW.

I fully support and back this product and company. KW has been VERY "stand up" for me!

I don't know S2SEXY. I tried crack for thirty days and it cost me $2000 and I really liked it. Fortunately I don't have an addictive personality and I was able to walk away from it (a better man) and never touched it again...at least for the last twenty years lol.
This is different. KW has almost perfected their kit. Like it or not G-Spec had something to do with that though we don't hear much from him these days I'm sure he's hard at work perfecting every aspect of the Rotrex powered S2k.
Installing the kit and trying it out for a time is a novel approach to marketing the product. You got to hand it to OJ jr and OJ sr for coming up with the idea. You know it's is a huge improvement over the stock S2000 from a power and torque standpoint. It's also very quiet which guys who like their car as OEM as possible must be attracted to.
Is it perfect. No. The blower is a little tempermental and though Desert Wanderer has gotten 60K plus out of his kit some guys have gotten less perhaps because they push it towards it's limits.
I would consider the KW kits still a work in progress. But none the less one of the more viable solutions for forced induction on the S2000.

Only in the FI forum do you have complaining that this isn't enough.
This isn't 2003 when we only had two reliable FI options, Vortech and Comptech. Their other rotrex kits sell for $3000-4000 so I don't want to hear BS about it's so expensive because of the rotrex.
It's practically a scam on a the s2k guys because some are silly enough to drop the money on an overpriced kit.

Only in the FI forum do you have people kissing vendor's butts like their rock stars.
The bench racing has been increasing for quite some time. Back on topic, no other Manufacturer has come close to an offer like this. Sure, it's designed to sell kits. That is everyone's goal who is making a kit.
Slow uve always been a big kw supporter. Why? Idk. But it's getting a little old.
Yes no one has don this b4 but it's unreasonable. U still have to pay either $2k in installs or spen 20 hours of your time.
Also like people have said b4 ke should just lower the price. This kit has Bren unreasonably priced and it's showin in the used markets. These kits don't sell for anything near their crazy prices. Yeah it's a gr8 kit but limited to 360 whp. Why pay more for a kit that makes less power for more $ if you compare it to the SOS kit. And the made kit just rapes it.
It's makes no sense to get this kit brand new. I only got it because at the time it was te only fi solution for 06+ and kraftwerks lied and said they would come out with higher psi pulleys even though we found out later the blower is being overspun. I regret making the impulsive decision and now am paying for it. I sold my kit. It's a gr8 kit only if you want to at max get around 360-380 whp and the price was less!
