I usually do my own work but in watching you work I can say I would trust you working on my vehicle. Good job sir!
Thank you!!
Thank you for your time in making this video.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to show your work. Great detail. Older video but still applies today. Awesome job, thanks!
You guys make it look easy!! Great work
Excellent work. Great DIY and beautiful s2000. Can't wait to get my hands on a kw kit myself.
Beautiful job!
Now this is a great informative video. Thanks!
Nice install. You guys listen to 80's music, excellent.
This was a super good video and very detailed!!! Definitely made it easy to learn yourself. Good work!
Thank you for taking the time and making this content awesome video
Thank you!!! Please check out our latest follow up!! Upgrade to the KW kit!!! ua-cam.com/video/VRHYEN3uU1s/v-deo.html
Nicely ✔ done, a quality video with good detail. Thanks for posting it up. Super charging my NC mitia with Kraftworks.
5:39 "What they do" The Roots... That makes me what this video even more than I have to... and I've watched it on loop.
Thank you putting a very informative video. Also two thumbs up for playing someTribe cCalled Quest, Geto boys , red man , tear for fears, erasure and other 80’s new Wave.
GREAT VIDEO! It was really insightful! I just wish it was a Vortech install because that's what I have waiting to go onto my AP1 S2000 sometime soon hopefully :) Your car is so powerful!
I like preparation on Honda engine, I subscribe!
Oh man I would have loved if this video was around in feb when I installed my kit. Great walkthru!!
This is by far one of the best videos out there thanks for sharing this install.
Awesome guide! Made this look way easier than I'm sure it is lol.
hell yeah man I'm using this as my installation guide, thanks so much!! I will add the couple improvements known now a days but seeing this covers about 95% of what I will do. Much appreciated.
what known improvements? link?
@@garetitz " in the future you should look into replacing the VTEC solenoid bolts and the driver side bracket bolts with ARP hardware from the start, the KW bolts will break.Also why remove the center under tray? A few minutes with a hole saw and you could retain that piece"
That S2k is cleannn
The most helpful video out there. Great step by step tutorial that I’ll be using later haha
Amazing work guys. Nice horse power increase to the S2000
Thank you!!!
Thanks for taking the time to make the video, in the future you should look into replacing the VTEC solenoid bolts and the driver side bracket bolts with ARP hardware from the start, the KW bolts will break.Also why remove the center under tray? A few minutes with a hole saw and you could retain that piece. Clean install, but a few small things could make it better.
Estevan Leal thanks for your input. Your opinions are also appreciated. We know about the hardware issues, and it’s something we’ve brought up to KW.
Wow great video very detailed ! Lol I think I’m going to attempt to do this in January
Norr I plan on attempting this in Marchy-Apilishy
You're amazing.
Sick!
nice job wow it only takes 34 minutes :)
the engine light pop on due to what problem installing a supercharge kit?
Great job guys 👍👍👍
Thanks check out this later video. 483whp less boost ua-cam.com/video/xetpx5eFLtY/v-deo.html
Subscribed!
Y’all got some good music going in the background
I want this but on my ap1. Is the install any different?
How did you guys tighten the crank bolt without it spinning?
not sure if i will ever boost mine or swap it; just like the GT350, i enjoy the bespoke platform that does not share anything and is exclusive to that model
Waiting for a DIY 9th gen Accord v6
I want to ask something about the Ecu The flashpro has a base Map which doesn't need to adjust ? Its done already from the Flashpro just plug in ? .
Do they make a kit for a k24 swapped s2000 ? Cause I’m kswapping a frs and would love to supercharge it
I thought the kit was advertised as complete bolt on? Do you have to modify the steering rack?
Just removing that supercharger kit to do a water pump or anything else looks to be a pain. Nice install btw.
Tonyw2394 it takes about 20min to remove the assembly.
34:34
"Speed limits doesn't apply for supercharged cars"
Heck yeah dude Gj on build 💪👌
Are you guys running kpro with the ballade harness on that car?
Does the check engine stay on?
Could any engine, gas or diesel can install this rotrex centrifugal turbo? Kindly answer me pls...
What kind of Fuel using after replaced fuel pump？
How much for the install? Minus the supercharger kit
how about that grey connector in the vtec solenoid, @6:40 we should put it back or just leave it diconnected ?
othmane saaidi double check your work. We put it back on. Good catch. Here a clip of a recent install 483whp @ 10 psi. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/xetpx5eFLtY/v-deo.html
Being able to use flashpro to tune 2006 up cars makes things so much more simpler
Actually we also have Hondata Kpro plug and play for the older year 00-05 models now also. No more complications.
www.balladesports.com/products/hondas2000/s2000_electronics/hondata-00-05-s2000-kpro-plug-and-play-no-sensor-conversion
Can you please explain why the addition of the adapter harness increases the price of the ECU by $1400?
BalladeSports oh yeah! I’m getting this!
Will a Kraftwerk diverter 007 work with a AMR 500 supercharger.
Can you tell me how you were able to tighten crank pulley bolt without crank turning? Did you have the transmission in gear and parking break on? I don't have an impact and I notice the Honda tool doesnt appear to be able to work (octagon) with the Kraftwerks pulley. Thank you in advance!
Stock block? Any work done?
Yeah how much bc soon to b my turn. I'm coming over to ya'll.
19:35 at night I cant sleep 🕺
Stock Clutch?
Thanks for the guide. That bolt does not need to be ground down BTW. It's recommended you upgrade the radiator also. No headers? Clutch? Exhaust? Cat? Why not cut holes in the plastic shroud for the inner-cooler pipes vs removing them?
MrFunk the bolt being ground down is for easier installation when using a bigger 30mm belt versus the 20mm. The customer didn’t want any more additional parts like Header, clutch, etc. we are simply showing the install not comparing what other want to set up. I don’t understand your last question about holes vs removing them.
Thanks for the reply. Otherwise just watching the video I'm thinking this kit is crap if you have to grind bolts and I'd never buy anything from this company.
Ed Floody nah it’s just kind of a universal kit.. it’s a great kit though just needs a little custom work.. the SOS kit I hear fits perfectly because it was actually made for the s2000
Looks like the one that was re-done by LHT Performance
Wrong, not the same car. Our video is a 2006 model with Ap2 v2 wheels. The car in our video is from California, which is where we are located at.
They look exactly the same. Compare the engine bays in the thumbnails
JosephThePogi if you look at this car you can see an 8 or 4 gauge wire on the fire wall with a fuse for an audio system the one at LHT doesn't have that same set up..but they look similar.
He's making the same mistakes as the other one. It could have come from this shop, a small chance. But they are definitely making a lot of the same mistakes. Including that stud, same fucking mistake.
CanadaBud23 what mistake was made ?
How do you know how tight to tighten the belt? And how do you know if it's loose? I just installed mine
Too tight will break the blower pulley. Loose rattles a little. Somewhere in between there. A little loose is not too bad
Did you guy have to rewire the fuel system to a thicker gauge wire ?
Stupid question Will this supercharger work for a Hyundai 2.0 4cyl??
Hey Alex , I've got an ap1 with 230k , and haven't replacement the timing chain tensioner, how can I get my hands on one that your company makes? Thanks, peace
Hi you can order one directly off our website: www.balladesports.com/products/hondas2000/s2000_engine/heavy-duty-timing-chain-tensioner
I also recommend this product to with it: www.balladesports.com/products/hondas2000/s2000_engine/ballade-sports-s2000-timing-chain-gear-ap1-ap2-s2k-f20c-f22c When purchased together we offer a combo discount.
Just got this SC kit for an AP1. Is it really necessary to trim the EPS bolt? @balladesports
Based on what I've read you don't have to but it is recommended because it will prevent the pulley I think from being damaged by that bolt as the engine move forwards and backwards because of the torque
Hey Alex, I hope you can answer a question for me. I have an 05 s2000 with the c38-92 kit. I've had it for over a year and a half with no problems. Now I have a need to remove timing chain cover as a washer fell inside of it while working on my timing gears recently. Tried pulling oil pan off but I still cant see it from bottom. Considering that Kraftwerks has a crank pulley with its own bolt that secures on to factory pully, how different would it be to remove the bolt? I know the socket required is 21mm....I wont be able to use Honda's crank pully removal tool to help hold the crank still. Any suggestions on how this is best done? Any specific tools? I read up I can just use a breaker bar, 21 mm socket with car in 6th gear and a foot pushed down on brakes. Not sure if there is a easier/better way....Thanks for any information you can provide!
Air gun 1/2 inch drive and a lot of torque is the best way. Good compressor and good gun. Should break it loose
@@BalladeSports Thank you!
Can anyone tell me what angle thingy that is being used on that electric impact wrench? The part that allows him to hit each bolt from an angle...
I think what you mean is a swivel joint. Hot sure though
@@maxv5814 You the man! Found them at Harbor freight, but never would have found them without your reply.
Hey no problem, man
Really enjoyed the install part, but the tune needs a LOT of work. Torque is bouncing around all over the place and drops at the end. You should be 430whp easy once the tune is cleaned up.
Thanks, here is another ua-cam.com/video/xetpx5eFLtY/v-deo.html

nighthawk0077 that blower cannot support 430whp.
I’m not instigating or trolling as you say it just an observation and a question. With that being said I believe I actually gave you a thumbs up and left a comment stating that your video was by far the best install I’ve seen but it’s ok I can change it and just dislike your video it really doesn’t make any difference for me
Is it just me, or does it look like doing regular maintenance would now be a pain in the ass? Like to change the serp belt you'd have to remove the s/c assembly? Looks like it pulls hard though, wish my S was supercharged.
What suspension set up are you on ?

I havent finished but this sure looks like a turbo-charger, not a super-charger. Jus the same, the most professional install I've seen yet.
@Cruz Ponce I had given that a thought but hadn't done the research. I think it's a viable option with much fewer headaches than a turbo unit. Thanks for the recommendations.
Eric
@Cruz Ponce I'm looking at a build for a 16' jet boat. Looking at the power to weight ratio, it seems like a no brainer. How do you feel about them for longevity?
Thanks,
Eric
What fuel pump did u guys end up using
AEM
Just know, my harbor freight tools and judging your snap on tools right now
How long was installation time?
Jay Grayson takes us 2-3 days
How much does it cost for you guys to install on an s2000 ap1?
We charge $7500 for SC kit, ECU, Tax and Labor and Dyno Tuning!!
How much is that kit for a 2005?
Looking the way you mount the intercooler, air funnel (removing all that plastic😡) there is a lot to learn, even where to place the intake.....😳 take a look at the LHTPerformance video's... and learn🤐
Can someone with experience tell me what a supercharger setup like this would cost all-in? Seriously considering one.
ReubenRoll we charge $7500 turn key. Includes ECU, spark plugs, SC kit, tax, labor and dyno tuning
BalladeSports BalladeSports that’s reasonable! How much whp would that exact turn-key setup run on a lower mileage car? It’s a bummer you guys are on the opposite coast. I’m located in South Carolina.
Is this kit with the c38 blower?
Yes standard kit is c38-81
@@BalladeSports my kit for my brz came with a c30-94 and with the stock compression it made 300 whp now that im built block with lower compression and injectors and fuel pump and high boost pulley wich is 3 lbs more it made the same high boost pulley compensated for the loss of the comoression
🤤
con que sentido le pones intercooler si no tenes la tenperatura del escape?
Se llama pro charger solo trabaja por el aire frío y si lleva intercooler es para mantenerlo frio
@@josepineda5211 pero no tiene sentido enfriar el aire que no esta caliente ya que el caracol no tiene contacto con los gases de escape.
Amigo en esta vida nada tiene sentido :,)
No pero ya hablando en serio en esta ocasión de superchargers entre más frío el aire esté mejor desempeño tendrá el supercharger
@@josepineda5211 tal cual. la vida poco sentido tiene jjajaj. estoy de acuerdo que el aire mientras menos temperatura tiene mayor cantidad de oxigeno por cm3 y podemos aumentar el pulso de intecyor. pero ne creo que en este caso haga falta. acepto tu opinion y viva la discrepancia!
I'm curious how this s2000 would do against my civic si, as far as acceleration goes.
TheTongMan what year civic si
Lmfao
Norr i wouldnt laugh this guys civic is a killer
He don’t want nun @ theTongMan
How much was the total cost on this ?
Pablito Rentas it’s like 5ish k
Why does this car look like the one at LHT getting rebuilt
rawbasic rawbasic it’s not at all. There are many Laguna Blue S2ks our there. It doesn’t mean you’re seeing the same car just because UA-cam has it on another video. In fact the customer sold this car we built and the SC kit was sold removed and sold. We know this because the new customer who bought the SC kit we ended up installing for someone else. So stop trying to instigate and troll
You guys forgot to put back the radiator shroud
We did we just didn't show something you already know to put back.
You guys removed it at 0:45. At 31:34 when you guys completed it it was missing. Your telling me that you guys removed the whole bumper to put it back on? In the intro didnt seem to have the piece too. Not trying to bash you guys. Just pointing it out. Probably one of the best install video out there.
11:43 I would not be happy with that right there.
why does it look like he is using windows 98 on the laptop....is he using that?
Its just classic theme. What does it matter as long as Flashpro software is compatible?
10+ years ago I had a vortech supercharged S2000 that put out 357 to the wheels at 11 psi... unfortunately it blew 3 diffs and I was tired of my girlfriend at the time shitting all over my broken car, so I sold it. RIP S2000.
Kraftwerk kits are the worst in my opinion, you shouldn't have to modify anything for a kit this pricey. Science of speed has kits that legit bolt on and do not modify anything.
Oh really like the way you don't have to modify the radiator hose to go around the after cooler? Or how about the oil leaking from the blower to the oil pan from the SOS kit? Not to mention the belt slippage from the ribbed belt always stretching. No boost consistency. Not to mention every time you want to do a clutch job the entire kit needs to be pulled off. Unlike the Kraftwerks kit to drop the subframe to take the transmission out. My point being everyone has an imperfect kit. If the car was made supercharged then it wouldn't be an issue. But building a kit after the fact a car is made, some compromises need to be made. To each their own. I own the SOS kit and own a KW kit on 2 separate S2ks. I choose the KW kit. But there are new whipple SC kit options and Magnasson blower kit options coming out also. I'm sure there will be some quirks as well.
WARNING: this video shows about 5% of the actual work involved, and it'll take you around 20-30 hours for your first install. This video is almost a joke. 3 hours for the fuel pump install, but it's maybe a minute of this video. This video also will not help you with about 75% of the actual work and figuring things out.
Dethred1 3 hours to install a fuel pump? Your comment is as irrelevant as your mechanical skills. Installing an S2000 fuel pump even for the first time should take you one hour. If you look at some of the comments, people have used this video as reference to help them. WARNING: Internet trolls may comment posing as actual mechanics or technicians. They are 100% a joke, using high end cars as their avatar.
@@BalladeSports 🤣🤣🤣. Go read the s2k forums, 3 hours is about average. Did you make this video for other mechanics, or a real DIY? Talk about trolling, I commented on the misleading (obviously unintentional, but still misleading), and you're commenting on my 991 C4S (LOL at "high end") that I sold last year. Jesus Christ, don't bring your car to their shop either, they sound like the polar opposite of LHT (i.e. honest, respectful).
Dethred1 thank you for proving our point about your technical knowledge. Reading forums versus actual mechanics who have performed procedures. This is the extent of your knowledge. How about Honda book hours which is used to calculate labor hours does not even suggest 3 hours for an hour job. What does firing back at your have to do with our honesty or respect for customers? You’re not a customer nor are you respectful to other people’s work in which they post. This is a free video we made to help others and show how we do things. Don’t cry about being called out for your nonsense. 🤦♂️
@@BalladeSports wait wait wait, you made this for people that already know how to do it? What a brilliant idea! My initial comment was for people just now viewing it for the first time, not full time greasemonkeys. I literally had to explain to a friend who is also interested in the KW kit that watched this video, that it's not a simple few-hours install. Anyone actually watching this video probably has a real job, and will be doing this on their own. And yeah, I'm not a customer, but thank fuck I now know to avoid your webstore, and just buy through LHT.😂
Took me 3hr.
Not impressed with the kit. I wish the intake can be routed further away
Can you name it DIY if you have access to a lift and full garage? Try doing this on jacks in a small garage, thats what I call DIY.
Modifying the car is cancer.
