I bought a CTSC used and thats what I voted. I wasn't really aware of the SOS kit but it appears to be almost 100% identical. the poll should have been SOS/CT.

The SOS has a piggy back which is nice to have. It appears to do the same thing as a VAFC (which a lot of CT SC owners buy under stock boost including me)

overall, if your buying new the SOS kit just seems to the best but is the same as the CT kit but with a few updates and options. It is probably a better deal although I do like the look of the CT kit better. I bought my CT SC kit used and bought a VAFC for a fraction of the cost of the SOS kit. I just can't express enough how many parts in each kit are exactly the same.

The VT kit is nice but I felt like VT made there kit and adapted it to fit the S2k as where CT assembled parts to make a s2000 kit. The ease of install and completeness of the kit just make the CT (and SOS since they are the same for the most part) a better starter kit IMO and more tailer to the s2k.

The KW is for high performance cars and isn't a starter kit. If your building a big FI car and are going to drop 10k in the process of making your car go FI then get the KW. this kit is really in a different category as the others.


I would get the CT or SOS. SOS is probably cheaper in the long run when buying new but if you get a used kit the SOS might be hard to find. I'm sure almost all parts are interchangeable between the 2.

 

On a 2nd note, if you get the SOS your probably best buying the stage 2. If you don't want the stage 2 you could probably sell the EMS, injectors, and trade the belt and pulley. You would come out ahead in cash (since the stage 2 is over 2,000 and it is only a few hundred more for the stage 2 when u buy the kit) and could just buy a VAFC2 to tune the kit and if u needed a black box (if u couldn't find the ems stage 1 comes with) u could get that also for cheap. (CT black box)

 

If you read a few post up people are saying the opposite about the kw kit the centrificals are the higher Hp kits..

 

After this deployment all i gotta do is set up a date to go to sos and get my s2 s/c put in. sos is good on replying back to my emails. They explain everything that i dont understand and explain in great detail that what i need or what would help me improve in anyway. They said should take all of two days to install, tune/dyno the car and im off my way back home. I like it,i know they are professionals and im ready to boost my car to around 380-390 hp without problems at all.

SOS is most def. ++ for anyone who wants to learn more about s/c's or any of their kits.

Goodluck

 

is flashpro considered a piggyback...I dont consider it a piggyback????

 

You are right about SOS and CT being nearly the same supercharger, and I agree the looks of the CT are more appealing. But for me (i know very little about FI and have no tuner locally available that I trust), the SOS kit gives me a good starting place with a path to upgrade latter. I thought about getting a used CTSC as well, but I was not comfortable buying a used. If you know what you are doing, or have a tuner/tech you trust, used is a very good option, as there are alot of used Comptech units out there.

As for the KW, I know you cannot go over 10 PSI on the C30 rotrex SC that is featured on the Kraftwerks unit. Now, I understand there is a company that puts a tuner unit together that used the C38 unit that can boost quite high, but it is not a "plug and play" unit, and would not be easy to install without some very competent Tuner help.

 

Que?

 

As you know the Kraftwerks kit uses a Rotrex blower deltav. If you meant have we yanks discounted the TTS kit in the states? No, the thread starts out with a vote for TTS lol.

Speaking for myself and a few buddies though- the TTS kit looks better now than ever but it's not exactly what we're used to seeing in our engine bays.

TTS also has a small credibility issue over here. Mase visited them a while back and later said they had exaggerated the number of Rotrex kits they had developed and that the dozen or so they had made were all pretty much having tuning issues.

If U.K. dynos are mostly set up to measure BHP vs. WHP and read differently than our dynos we'll need a TTS kit shipped over here; to see what kind of power it makes. Also the compressor surge I’m hearing at the end of this C38 dyno video should not be there.

So far the most power anyone's gotten out of a C38 on an S2000 in the states is Loren Edwards- on his endurance race car and that was less than 350 WHP; while Joey Butel is currently making 560 WHP with his SOS (edit). For the record I like the SOS. A lot of bang for your buck.

Cheers

 

That is true regarding tuning, i heard the rotrex setups tuning was poor and Mase had to sort the tuning out as it was bad, still we all know what a good/bad tune can do. Lets forget about some of the cars that have been blown up in the UK due an 'aggressive' tune by a certain person.

I can definitely say that our dyno seems to read lower, why this is i dont know why since the correction standards and format seem the same ISO/SAE etc.

The mount on the rotrex kit and been upgraded and IMO looks a lot better and should be more robust.

 

with every point you made. And by "Rotrex" I'm sure you're referring to TTS Performance- one of the Rotrex dealerships in the U.K.
And it is kind of strange that the dyno readings are lower over there when the ISO/SAE standards should be the same. We have dynos here in the states that read high!
And TTS has certainly improved the looks of that mount.
