glamcem's Rotrex Supercharged (Krafwerks) _PART OUT

[glamcem]

after driving little more that it's not that "quite" but it's not really loud too.. if this is a quiet option I wonder how much it would get louder with other exhaust setups..maybe I am just getting old

[glamcem]

A few more updates:

ADD W1 Catch can installed
Perrin OP installed
Invidia Catless FP installed
Tsudo Catback installed







I love the exhaust sound and am happy with being on the quiet side ..my previous experience with Catback exhausts were not good

[glamcem]

Ok a few more updates I've installed everything but haven't filled the canister with oil or started priming yet since it was getting late last night ..overall, it took me about one and a half day to install the kit but I took my time and had to make a few trips to home depot and harbor freight..also since I have been also installing my radiator and OEM oil cooler I had to be strategic so I wouldn't double the efforts I installed everything in this order

• clamps to prevent leaks
• bumper removal and oil cooler install (since jacking and air box removal involved)
• Koyo Radiator install and adding coolant
• putting back the stock air box and test run to see everything works fine
• without putting back bumper remove the box again (2 mins job)
• started installing the KW kit

cogged pulleys arrived right on time








additional tips and install notes can be seen here

I have just learned that my FA 500 coilovers have been shipped !! I will post some pictures upon arrival

[glamcem]

and here are some pictures of the completed setup










oil cooler fitment tight but shouldn't be an issue


for those who are concerned with KoyoRadiator and its fitment with this kit, I'd say go for it.. I put the intake tube by removing radiator support and slightly trim the plastic part on the radiator shroud ( about 3-5mm at most) so fitment not an issue at all..


also while at it, I removed the fog lights and put some mesh screens to fit the custom brake ducting that I will soon start working on it





my track setup is ready to be installed (with extra set of brake fluids)..

Great looking build. Very well thought out and purpose built. Would love to hear your thought of the Kraftwerks products when you have some drive time.

Keep it up.

Thanks. My tuner (Mike from Moto-East tuning) sent me the revised tune so hopefully I can upload it with Ecutek today. If everything goes well I am planning to attend a few more track days this month so that I can provide more data and initial thoughts about KW and track use

[glamcem]

wow car pulls really rally hard after the new tune also my coilovers arrived I will soon provide more pictures and info

[glamcem]

ok here are a few more updates I have installed my coilovers and drove down to Firestone for alignment with the camber plates my friend was able to get -3.0 fronts and -2.5 and -2.8 at the rear wheels.. so far I am really happy with the improvement

Also I have to add I think Fortune Auto did a great job on packaging and they are pretty responsive when you need some assistance which is a big plus for me since I am not familiar with adjustable coilovers ..

[glamcem]

my custom brake ducting didn't work most likely due to bigger size of the hose I will have to find a better way to feed more air into the inner fender well, see below pictures















Carbotech XP-12s and Centric Premium blank rotors have been installed as well, thanks to @CSG Mike for good communication



Look how thicker they are when put against to Stoptech pads



heat reflective tapes (2000F) on the calipers





my ghetto ducting and spindle :P






do yourself a favor and make sure you completely removed your ABS sensor before even removing the hubs



and of course I have no ABS and traction control at the moment

[glamcem]

on the way to RMP I noticed that I still could get 30.3 mpg, I wasn't even trying
maybe it's because of the traffic in front of me (drafting) but I was able to get about the same on the way back


and some shots fron the lapping event with coilovers 1.5" drop all around








I will soon post the video from the lapping event

Great thread. Would love to hear your thoughts. I am looking at the JRSC kit(Almost the same as your kit)

I think you cannot go wrong with either KW had a group buy, at that price it's really hard to pass though

Did you get the standard Blower?
