WOW!! guess my guy is not in the know...but then again, this is HKS Japan vs HKS-USA.

 

There is no difference between Japan and USA in terms of this...

and no its not an eaton type....

Glad to hear that your car is running right now

ya, the eaton is the roots type, right? unless they offer centrifugal blowers, too.
congrats, gargoyle. its been a long time comin.

 

yeah, its the roots type.....the packaging alone doesnt really make it ideal for the Z...or most VQ's in general..but thats also a personal opinion

 

OK...here we go again!!!
I'm driving down the 60 fwy EB, on my way back from running some errands. Not driving hard at all...and what do I hear "snap, ting...ting..." so I look out my rear view to see a bolt fly out from under my car....Of course, so many things ran thru my mind, including "OK, who is gonna rebuild my motor..."
Gauges reading vaccuum all way, and of course running lean...hmmm, my next thot was the SC belt snapped and took the idler pulley with it...
Get the car home, and open up to find my SC belt shredded, but not snapped, and accessory belt looped behind the idler pulley which is 1/2 way into my fan shroud!!! Talk about luck!!! The idler pulley bolt snapped and made a mess out of my engine bay...
Well, I got my camera out and took a bunch of pix...and got on the phone..1st to the company that I bought it from...no answer...and they din't get back to me right away...no worries...I called SP Engineering...again to the RESCUE!!! well, not right away, but within about 30 mins they contacted me back and BAM...the ball got rollin'!!!! I'm thinkin' since I installed the system myself, HKS is not gonna cover any of this...of course thinking the worst and hoping for the best.... NOPE!!! by days end I had the parts that came off (both belts and the idler pulley and assembly)...At this point, having dealt with SP yesterday, and feeling of satisfaction that I left their shop with made me realize that no matter what, if they warrantied or I had to pay...I know the best was done on my behalf...KUDOS guys....
They shipped the stuff to HKS immediately and HKS is gonna return new parts and they're covering my fan shroud...
I take back any and all ill comments made or thot about HKS...between the 2 of them..my ride will be up and running real soon...

If you don't know who to go to with install, tuning...or just to ask...call SP...they will take care of you! And HKS is still and always be quality!

To all the guys at SP-Engineering ...thanks for all the customer support, which is almost un-heard of these days.
HKS, thanks for living up to the reputation that has renowned around the world...

so you removed the spacer? why?
my kit is running a bit lean with the spacer, and i'm thinking about calling mark at sp to see if they can tune it for me.

 

willpwr

the discontinuation rumors about the HKS rotrex is appearing in multiple threads now. I know I asked you about the truth in this in another thread, however, looking at growing information or misinformation, can you elaborate on what hks has planned for this kit? an upgrade? or as kakiller posted those TAS pictures, is another hks blower in the works?

reason I ask is I was about to purchase the current kit but if something new +/- better is in the works, I may just wait.

thanks again

yes please more info. Im also in the same position although i have a 06 i want to know or i will be going turbo instead.I perfer to stick with hks supercharger because of the nice power along with beeing safe but if this is the end of that charger then i dont want to get it and be short on parts later on if needed?

 

ZBOY:I took the spacer off a while back, due to the "lean" condition I was experiencing. Thinking this may have attributed to the condition, I removed it but only started running leaner a little leaner.
For now I will leave it off, and when/if I decide to go for more power I will put it on with headers and HF cats and the like. I am very happy with the power I am making now, and wanted to have a good bang for the buck vehicle. In the past I have gone all out only to be tinkering, and constantly tuning and adjusting this and that... I'm older and don't have the time and patience that I once had...so for now ... I'm content with my set up.

Yes, Call Mark...if have talked to him before then u know he will be helpful... He's a good guy, just like all the other guys over there.. They will take the time to do it right...They must have done 10-12 dyno runs to get the numbers RIGHT!

 

thanx, alex. i'm like you...i want a no-fuss, set-and-forget setup, and the hks has been just that. so long as i'm not "on it" all the time, there have been no problems with the spacer. the only time i hear slight pinging is when i go wot on cold days. also, thanks for the report about sp. its good to know there's someone around who knows what they're doing with this kit.
you must be having so much fun now that your kit is operating properly. be careful out there.

 

Damn you guys! right when i decide to stay n/a one of you has to pop up and start talking about your hks supercharger (my FI system of choice). i am glad that things are working well now.

sooooo, whats this new revision of supercharger? any info on it? from the pics it just looks a bit more polished...

 

I think I read some where that they are coming out with a ...some thing like a 2 speed gear box for the blower . Is this true ?
