Everyone saying the Camaro/Stang are better platforms keep forgetting they are American cars, more expensive, depreciate much faster, big gas guzzling V8 and RWD which is not as versatile for people that live in colder areas.
You can buy an almost brand new 9th gen Civic Si, lower it, supercharge it, put a sports clutch in it, strut bars, lighter rims, stickier tires, exhaust/headers etc..
Get a FWD, 30 mpg, 350 whp, mid 12-13s car for under $27,000.
5.0L coyotes are 13s cars, unless you get the boss 302, gt500 or a saleen lool.
Hell for $5k, this supercharger turns this car into so much fun.
Ofc it's a civic and there are much better cars out there but it's a great price for the amount of fun people get out of it, not everyone can afford a GTR or an M3
Preach bro. Thats it right there.
Dasit Mane I picked up a '13 GT, took it to the strip and it ran 12.8, Only had Gt500 cat back, and an air intake, all together total cost was about $22000 cnd
Preach Brotha!!!
+Dasit Mane LOL @ 5.0L coyotes are 13s cars. They are mid 12 sec cars with real drivers,and low 12 sec with a simple exhaust and drs.
Agreed, I drive a $3,000 civic that will beat most factory cars. 300+whp in a light car is sick.
Damn this is awesome, be great if more company's offered ride along to see how good their product was. That intercooler is dope as well.
Dr. Charles!!! Awesome guy got the opportunity to meet this guy and spend a day at skunk 2. Great staff and very knowledgable
The smile on their faces got me convinced to put this sc on my Si. Thanks guys!
Aaron Valerio so did you do it? How much did it cost? Do you like it?
Active EJ Sorry man, I haven't yet. My Si is pretty old I am actually the 3rd owner of it and right now it is being restored body and mechanical wise. Next in line will be engine and tranny rebuild then the SC. If you get there first don't forget to message me how it's like on yours. Thanks.
@Shuffle3956 Sorry for the very late response. I wanted to rebuild the engine because it is burning oil and the 1st owner, I was told, was racing it hard and drove it all the way from Ontario to British Columbia where the second owner bought it then this BC owner moved here in Alberta where I became the 3rd owner so that kind of gives a picture of how badly the inside of the engine looks like. Update on the goal of SC it is now on the table. And yes it took me this long before I can put one on mine becuase I wanted to repay the cost of its restoration first before committing funds to the blower install. I know most of you hardworking enthusiasts understands the financial dilema of it. 😉
@@aaronvalerio19 been there. Is it fitted now?
@@JA-wy1zv I just bought a 2011 si with one and everything else with 50,000 miles
this kit cost more than i paid for my 8th gen si lol
SofaKingLeet CT-E Supercharger is cheaper and lasts forever
then it’s probably a really clapped out Si lmao
@@FG2Zim to be honest it was in pretty decent shape just needed to get caught up on some routine maintenance. 07 fa5 with 110k miles for $3k.
@@LeeVai666 bruh theyre literally going for double the price with that mileage now😂🤣 crazy. but 4.5-5k for 150-200hp increase. and still cheaper than a 20k car lol
@@kuya_mike7813 the used car market is crazy right now. inflation is through the roof!! ive seen base model R18's with 160k at dealers for $7k!!
Yeah that cold air exhaust should help!
This is the best sounding civic I’ve ever heard...
nice to see some familiar faces from way back when i had an si and was in the scene. Also I have to admit skunk2/kraftwerks has to be the best customer service and dedication to improve both the scene and modification industry. thumbs up.
Kraftwerks is the way ..surprised i never see them ..il be changing that in my city
Yes it does. The test vehicle has stock internals and valvetrain. The only other modifications besides the supercharger kit and flashpro was a header, and an exhaust system.
The vehicle features the Skunk2 Alpha Series Race Header along with the 76mm Megapower RR Exhaust System.
I have this kit as well. I run the skunk2 alpha header with 3in thermal exhaust no cat and it sounds great. Not quite as loud as the skunk2 exhaust but still deep without the fart can/raspy sound found in most catless set ups
I've now had this on my car for about 3 years... multiple tensioner failures. the bearing destroys it self,
Miles per gallon are around 19 to 20 in the city, 24 mixed, and about 29 to 30 Highway. The power is great, but Im still on the stock header and a high flow catalytic converter since the civics k20 tends to sound farty with aftermarket headers and a catless setup. Even though its great, dont kid yourself into thinking youre going to beat STIs, Evos and Mustang GTs off the line (max torque is about 230lbft on this kit). Youll need to start tuning on e85 if you want that level of power. Compared to my old stage 2 CT kit, this is night and day. And the power delivery is much better...very linear as described.
The q300 exhaust will change your mind about that!
These dudes can't drive lmao
The car has really bad rev hang from factory, that’s why his shifts are so bad
m9thew hondata fixes that
@@dctmatt it has a kraftwerks kit on it. Surely it's tuned and rev hang removed lmao
This is our standard kit for the 06-11 Civic SI.
8,350RPM
Is that Dr. Charles? I know you when you use to work back in the day at Pocket Rocket racing.
Did that guy say cold air exhaust?? lmbo.
I think he meant cold air, and exhaust lol
The revs don't seem to be dropping much between shifts. Seems like the throttle body is not fully closing or there's some issue with the tune / DBW that is causing the manifold to not be under full vacuum as soon as he lifts. It is also causing him to shift very slow because it takes longer for the synchros to work when the revs don't drop. scary.
I like how hondas are relatively cheap to tune and turbo
FINALLY a good video that shows pulls. Siggggh, I need one of these for my EG!
How much will it cost me to get a complete set up?
I have kraftwerks sc for my s2000. Now I want it for my si as well!
5:44 Authentic enthusiastic gear shifting at its finest
So he likes the D
LlLnig fuks u talkin bout...no homo over here boi
mrpunka1589 nice lips
this kit makes 380 whp and 250ft lbs with I/H/E. twin screws put down about 300whp and 200ft lbs...not to mention this kit is easy to maintain compaired to other s/c kits
The supercharger deepens the tone.
wait this guy from kraftwerks was on the discovery channel for that street racing documentary between the guy who drives the talon and the gal who drives the civic. he's hella chill haha
Why you dont make any supercharger for 03-07 accord v6
I didn't realize I was in the wrong place. I thought paying my internet provider gave me the discretion to do what I want with my time, Manny.
Big mans moving around in his seat on the shifts you know it's got some go daddy... 8th generation pink takers unite
It really was a pretty fun little gathering, good excuse for us to have pizza! ;)
KraftWerksUSA hey I'm.wondering what size of supercharger is this exact running ? Thanks just bought a 07 si coupe and want to this kit on it
Wow that is awesome. I was saving for the CT kit but I'm definitely saving for this now.
Finally LOL I will always remember that day :D
Can't wait to get mine installed next week!
Is 70k miles too high to S/C a car reliably? Assuming its well maintained.
Last guy's shifts hurt me.
its funny to see the go power stickers :) also, can-not believe adrian was allowed to drive it lol!!!!
It really isn't very noisy at all. Some chargers make a bit more noise than others. Also, being that the system is making boost at idle the blow-off valve ends up being a bit open to relieve some pressure, it makes a small amount of noise also. When you are driving it really isn't a big deal.
Why the hell does it sound like a chorus of robotic crickets under the hood any time they're stopped and talking?
We can't say that a 2012 Civic Si kit "ISN'T" going to be available from KraftWerks. ;)
that guy was on a tv show i saw where they built a honda and another place built a talon for a drag race
damn now thats a way to inspire people to buy a product. too bad more companies dont do something like this
My 2013 needs a kit like this. :-)
Bushguts please stop hating on a civic all I see u doing is talking shit u apparently can't handle that a civic can smoke your mustang 5.0
Wow a Honda with low end torque. I like.
“This shit pulls fool”
The car had the Alpha Series Race Header paired with the Megapower RR 76mm Exhaust System.
That's a sharp design nice and simple
No, this particular kit is not CARB legal, but with almost 400hp with power steering and air conditioning many will quickly forget about CARB ;)
Under normal driving conditions the car maintained close to factory MPGs. Although as soon as you continually pin the throttle all of that goes out the window.
Amazing product I will defiantly be getting my hands on this it sounded lip it handle really well what clutch is that is running looked really smooth like stock... I wish I went to that ride along.
@Kregz Syb labor should be about $1500- $500 for the Tune about $1,000 for the labor. Could be a little more.
People pay 90k for porsches that dont trap that - and the C38s can support 450-500whp pretty easily on stock bottom end and you can upgrade to a larger blower once your on built internals and want to rev higher/more boost 700-800whp - this kit is more of a daily driver kit and turns a 14 sec car into an 11 sec car for a relatively small amount of money with factory like driveability
Can't wait to order 1 for my 9th Gen Si hopefully in couple weeks ! Can you guys make a video with this kit in a 9th Gen Si ?
The Type S and Civic Si have a few differences in how they are configured under the hood. We have not tried fitting this kit directly onto an RSX Type S. Although the supercharger might be able to be bolted to the engine, hood clearance would be an issue.
@KraftWerksUSA I was just wondering if your supercharger affects the life of a cars engine in any way?
the car sounds awesome. but im more impressed with the guys beard, lol
Not hearing the whine...... lol thats all i came for
Gotta love that delay of Drive by wire... nice kit tho. Sounds sick!!
Much more efficient, better power delivery, less heat and friction, easy to intercool. In many ways they are like comparing apples to oranges.
3:16 "even at idle its boosting" the revs do seem to stay high between shifts, the boost never completely drops off so most likely there is little or no manifold vacuum to slow the revs of the engine. Its almost like its got an anti-lag system.....almost... i'm sure once they fine tune the TB idle position and sitting BOV dump amount this thing will run and shift like a charm.
This kit is gonna be on my k20 banger 6 speed slanger soon!
We offer a K-Race kit, and we will be releasing a B-Race kit. We are also thinking about a D-Series option down the road.
Best sounding 8 gen si shit raw
We are actually going to be working on an R18 kit in the near future!
that shit sounds beast! cant wait until i get back stateside.. probably gonna scoop one of these kits up
1:01 I Have that Shirt LOLOLOL.
not what i thought dr charles would sound like lol
Very interested in this kit.. Do you need to tune the car after installing this kit?
Never should have sold my si
Boost? Numbers? You had it on the Dyno, and didn't feel the need to show the results?
No A/C no way unless you live in Maine or Canada. Live Georgia cant live without A/C but seems to have good torque and cfm from that design. Got to figure a way to make this A/C compatible
From the vid it sounds a bit noisey, does it actually sound that way? Other than that it looks exciting.
I had a RSX type S and the money needed to make 300whp is stupid. So I bought a new 5.0 and made 360 stock lol
The songs is very good malay song, "nanti tiba dimana"
did the guys at kraftwerks figure out what was up with all the issues regarding belt tensioner i really want this kit but i cannot find one issue that people have had with cte. it just sucks cause cte doesnt deliver quite enough power out of the box.
As this installation cost, time delay and if you have to make modifications to the engine thanks
you guys should a B-series ride along!
There are rootsblower cars running 11.70s with less power than what the rotrex units can put out - The Si is a 22k 4cyl car and you are comparing it to a car which avgs in the mid to high 30s has 3 times the displacement and twice the number of cyls as well as significantly higher insurance rates for male drivers under 25 - And yes - there are performance cars making 225whp -- the Lotus Elise is just one of them I can think of - a 225whp EG civic runs low 12s, CRX would run 11s
Sounds great
Why did the 2nd guy say he has a 2000 civic si sedan? Only coupe si's in 99 and 2000
oh I don't, care to explain to me then since I don't know what I'm talking about?
typically, on a forced induction car that blows through the throttle body, when the throttle body is closed, there is vacuum in the manifold. just like an NA car. If the revs aren't dropping, that means the pressure in the manifold is not dropping. Usually that means the throttle body is cracked or there is a vacuum leak. because this car is boosted I would think that the throttle body is not fully closing.
I meant, it's closer to 400whp if their dyno really reads 10% lower than others
Haha, he only let the did with the sunglasses drive and not the others. Seems like he's the only one that knows what he's talking about.
It' s decided, when I go forced induction this will be the kit I buy. I'm hoping by the time I graduate next summer, I'll have enough to buy it. What's the final boost numbers on the kit though? and is there a smaller pulley to raise it?
How is traction with this kit thugh? 310 whp stock 370 with i/h/e flash pro. How is 2nd gear at wot? I'd imagine 1st is pretty bad at wot
Andrew Galtan is the smartest guy. Just stick to your "cold air" exhaust (:
You overlooked that this car has a bov, could be that it isn't venting as it should.
Will you be making a supercharger for the 2013 Si? With the 2013 Si 2.4Liter engine creating more torque, an added supercharger would make a great build! Please keep me posted!
CARB is a VERY long and tough process. Simply remove the kit when smog season rolls around.
Will this kit work on the euro Honda Civic Sedan? Its an 07' one, its not an Si and it 1.8L. Planning to re-bore the block, larger pistons, upgrade the headers and exhaust. Is a fuel pump upgrade is required to operate this kit?
Many Thanks,
Pierre From Europe
I like to watch Rsx's videos
2009 TSX? Is there a kit available? I just spent about 30 minutes on the web site but it says "All K-Series." Have any second generation TSXs been done? Do you need a Hondata for this? What type of clutch is recommended? Stage 2?
Thanks.
Import for life
Thanks :]
So is yours. .
Dr. Charles the Pei Mei of Honda tuning.
It's obvious that these guys never sat in or driven performance cars before.
first guy wanted to drive but they let the last guy drive it, lol.
How is the reliability of this kit? Also do you have a rough estimate of the cost for install?
