I just finished my 07 completely stock unmolested k24a2 swap on my 04 ep3 on New Year's Eve. I'm already bored with it. I just need and want MOAR...My car is not a daily driver and I want to also do a custom wire tuck for my set up once I decide which route to go with. I don't really drive the car much at the moment but but when I finish my suspension and performance build then I would love to see what she can do.

I was initially gonna get the JRSC but after reading some of the threads on here it seems that alot of people with JRSC evetually get tired of it and want MOAR. Knowing that I get bored easily myself, I figured skip all that and just go BIG.

So now I need help deciding between Rotrex and Fullrace turbo kit .

1) Kraftwerks retails for about $3000 but needs custom fab work so how much more can I expect to spend on the custom fab work (parts and labor) involved with the kraftwerks SC?

2) Fullrace seems to come complete for about $6000 but does it? How much can I expect to pay for install and is any custom work needed?

3) Im also concerned about having the least clutter possible in the bay. I will get a wiretuck after this and I'm assuming that a tuck is possible in either system but which one will make our SMALL bay look fuller and more cluttered?

4)What kind of numbers can I expect?

5) Can anyone recommend a reputable shop in Los Angeles CA?

Any input that will help me decide is welcome. All other unrelated chatter NOT WELCOME.

 

1) Fab work for the Rotrex is mostly just intercooler piping and misc cutting of frame and etc. There is a good instal write up on CRSX if I'm not mistaken.

2) Full race is a good setup but you have to consider fuel system costs. Adding a fuel pump, injectors, return line and filter etc will be almost another $1000 bucks which sucks.

3) Smallest cluster in bay would be rotrex but people drool over seeing a sidewinder turbo kit smiling at you from under the hood.

4)If you lived in WI i'd instal it cheaper than any shop but I can't help you on this question sorry.

 

tnx for the info bro
so fullrace is MONEY for sure damn....

I forgot to include the type of numbers I can expect from either set up?

So I guess if I still gotta spend about another 1000 custom fab for full race that might be overdoing it for me. I got the funds but also wanna get a tuck and paint so...

 

just found out full race gonna be about 9k when all is said and done
Just too much for an ep

Ill most likely just stick with rotrex or maybe even AFI
still not sure

 

actually clubrsx sells their full race for this price

only thing I can say:

You gotta pay to play

 

trust me bro
Ive been paying to play this silly game

I cant even begin to tell you how much i have spent on my ep so far
enough to get me a brand new beamer fully paid LOL

 

hahaha

Try four engines and four rebuilt transmissions on one DC5... I know the cost game too

 

no doubt

i hate this game

this **** just never ends...spending is out of control

 

i'd say go for rotrex, only thing i dont like about is you have delete the a/c...i deleted the a/c in my rsx anyway but never had to go thru a summer without the a/c yet

 

i know ****
i love my ac in the summer
care to explain y sc?

 

did a bit of reading
didnt realize that a regular tranny wont be able to able to take the abuse of fullrace turbo

 

can't withstands a supercharger either...


the k series transmissions are made out of glass.

Rotrex with fmic/race radiator/injector.... $4999

Keep your a/c too if that matter to u

 

at this point I am leaning towards FR EFR 7670 single scroll
for a little under $5k BNIB and more power than i can ever need

tnx for all your input

 

You suck for having money. Or lots of debt. LOL

 

EFR turbo's are pretty ballin, too bad they have internal BOV...
