Default Kraftwerks S2k Looks Good!

I've been following the progress of this setup since the rumors began.I've always been a fan of Jackson racing and loved their setup on my old GSR.Well I think this may be the answer to the power deficiency in the s2k.I know the owner of this car and its not yet been tuned ( 05 you tune kit). Another guy with the high boost kit pulled a 4.5 0-60 with a 12.7/114 1/4 mile (g-tech time) and he had traction issues.I've been invited to take a test drive and if it's as good as he says I'm getting one.

Sounds fast, and I cant believe they broke traction with vtec engagement.

WOW...those numbers are mighty impressive. If Honda had progressed the s2k to my liking, this is where it should've been. I'm not big on going FI on s2k's but I'm definitely keeping my eye open. Hopefully it will be as reliable as their other stuff. Jackson racing has a good rep all across the internet.

The price is pretty steep IMO but im sure the design going into this cost a crap load. 6500 is basically 1/5th the cost of the car.

Given the right conditions, a stock SC should break traction hitting vtec; that shouldn't be a measurement of how much power its making.

6500bucks is pretty damn steep though. Lets not forget a stronger clutch would be necessary, along with stickier tires. -sigh- Looks like I'll admire from a distance.

Turbo is more reliable too as you know first hand.

you can't say that. i believe that once you go FI, its up to the owner on how reliable it is. If you check the oil. change the oil at the right time and watch the level of it. and of course always check for shaft play you'll be fine. Just like the s/c you'll have to always check if the belt is slipping and if the sc itself is going out like my comptech one did ( from the bearings being worn on). The sad part was the s/c had only 6 thousand miles on it. =/ maybe i got a defected one who knows. And the turbo in my IS has lasted over 35 thousand miles and still going strong. It really just depends on the product and the owner i say. the video up there is very impressive though. My comptech never broke traction when vtec engaged. If i was to do it all over again i would have went with that kit. Other then that the product looks good except for the price hehe
