First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

We did a 1.29 laptime at Big willow:up: first time out. It was good enough to take first in class and second over all in modified at the last Redlline Time attack. The car almost 5 seconds faster then our last test with was with a N/A setup:up:

What's the deal with that supercharger? For that matter, I didn't even see it in your engine bay...

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Kraft Werks makes Rotrex kits; the blower sits below the water pump where the AC would normally be.

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

It's good to see those Rotex superchargers work very well.
And from what I read from the tech feature of this in Modified (plug!) and the subsequent translation in to english from my father.
Those things are just pure awesomeness.

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Only problem is they somehow decided that they would rather make kits for the Fit instead of the B series.

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Nice pics and congrats on 1st place. You guys think you can beat your time with the NA setup at buttonwillow? How is the supercharge k20 compare to the NA k20? Arent they pushing out roughly the same horsepower? Sorry for all the questions but I was curious why you guys went supercharge when the K20 did fairly well for you guys over the years. :D

I remember when I came here in '94 to work for Oscar Jackson when the first ever Jackson/Eaton Supercharger kit was fitted to my "88 CRX. I produced some information from a friend in Denmark on the ROTREX Superchargers... I think I nearly got fired for even mentioning such a thing!
Oh well how things change... Congratulations Oscar for seeing the light!

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Your cars seems perfect! Congrats on your win

Do you mind telling me what side skirts you are using? (they dont look DIY)

KIWI, can you send me a new bigger splitter, just like Oscar's? (since there isnt any restricting rule for my class)

PM me please

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Looks like you obviously had some cooling issues.Any plans for a bigger radiator-that's tiny for the kind of power you're probably making.Hell,my stock B20 sometimes gets a little hot with a similar rad to what you're running.

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

I was fine at Roebling Road in July with 408 WHP (turbo B16) and a Fluidyne half-width radiator, same for CMP in October in SC with 350 WHP (supercharged B20) . I think that it depends on the quality of the radiator.

That really surprises me. Maybe Fluidyne does something differently, but the non-VTEC motors seem to need a lot of cooling, even stock.

Re: First time out with kraftwerks sc kit

Wow Tim, there is quite a bit of time left in that car at that track!

I bet with a little more time, you'll have it in the 1:28's with ease and maybe the 1:27's after some fine tuning!

Well, with you driving Jeremy it would do 1:26.

Yup! I completely agree with you. With more development, the car will be in the 28's easily. But for a car that only sees track time during time attack events (3-4 events per year?), I'm pretty content with the results. Congrats on your 1st place win in street class RWD, btw! That is no easy accomplishment by any means

mine is giving way right now (i drive about 30 miles a month so i'm able to get by with it leaking) after 195k miles... 100k with stock motor, 30k w/ b-turbo, and 65k w/ b and many track days.

op, love the car.
