Icon5 05 CRV Kraftwerks Supercharger A/C problem.

I have 05 CRV with a used engine 60k mile my old one overheated. im think about putting in Kraftwerks Supercharger kit. i know it fit in my car but Kraftwerks says Kit REQUIRES removal of A/C Compressor. i live in the south is heat here. i like to get so more info before buying this kit. i did some sending and people got it to work on accords, civic si, tsx, tl, rsx with the k24 or k20 engine and there a/c works. but they dont tell me how they got it to work. i just dont know why i need to remove my a/c compressor. i talked with the salesman he dont know nothing. hope someone here did this before.

Don't know anything about it but I do know that you might have some troubles figuring out a tuning solution. If you have a manual and PPA ecu then you could use Kpro I believe. Best of luck. A supercharger would be awesome though.

Go with a different supercharger setup, your only option.

There are two different applications from Kraftwerks that are designed to be installed on the "K" series engine platform... one places it where the A/C compressor originally resides and the second is up high above the alternator and water pump where a conventional P/S pump might be found. If you currently have a conventional style P/S pump, it could be replaced with an electric P/S pump... and thus, making room for the Kraftwerks supercharger system and still RETAIN the A/C compressor for those hot southern summer days. You didn't answer the question about the transmission in the vehicle... if it is an automatic, you will have a very difficult time providing the proper tune for the vehicle and the powertrain as a whole. There is no "kit" that is complete for your application... you will have to blaze the trail and CREATE a whole lot to succeed with this path. Good luck.
