HKS S/C............Here is my expierence with it. It is NOT tuneable. The only mods you can run with it are: Cams, Catback Exhaust. Nothing else. Do Not even chage your thermostat to a cooler one. I made 328 RWHP with no dropoff on 3 Dyno Pulls. The S/C stays very cool due to its own oiling system and oilcooler and intercooler, it stays very very cool to the touch. My A/F ratio is 9-9.5 under full boost. So....... since it was so rich we decided to spray the intercooler with NOS. Since there is some residual that stays in the intercooler it boosted the HP up to 369, A/F ratio peaked at 11.7. All that I have done to my car is Nismo Cams, Nismo Catback Exhaust, and the intercooler sprayer. Boost kicks in at around 3000 RPMs, from 10-15 MPH kick at 3000 -3500 RPM the car is very very fast. Like I have said I could not be more pleased. I have raced a C-6 Corvette, modded EVOs, WRXs,a 240 SX with a RB26 DETT engine swap and yes a Vortech S/C ed Z, and beat them all. I am not very good from a dead stop due to traction problems. Even shifting into second the car gets sideways. I have had no broken bolts, pulleys, no check engine lights, or belt slippage. It is a little more expensive, I paid 5600 for my kit but you dont have to do anything else to it to get nice power so in the end in my opinion it evens out. Again out of the box it was 328 RWHP, with cams and exhaust. The intercooler sprayer boosted it to 369, i have never used the intercooler sprayer except on the dyno. I am very pleased with the kit, would not trade it for TT or anyother form of F/I because of the quality and the safety of the kit.

The hood was the main reason I went we the HKS, also the reputation of HKS and quality products. No reflash nothing just plug and go. The extra fuel is added by the 2 extra injectors included with the kit.

Altered Atmospheres
I called HKS, asked if there was anything I could do to add more HP, they told me to call Altered Atmospheres that they were working on some things.
I called them and they said they could put headers test pipes anything you want on and tune it with the computer that comes with the HKS kit.

hi i am just starting the install of the HKS Rotrex s/c on a 350z convertable auto trans bone stock with 6032 miles on it, well the only mod that the car has is gramlights wheels and T1-S tires. i am going to port the compressor housing and change a few other things i will keep you all informed as to how this goes. i also have a Dynojet chassis dyno in my shop and i will fill you all in with the numbers that this kit produces.
