Knowing HKS, it'll be an overpriced, underperforming piece. The housing for the compressor looks rather small so you probably won't be able to get a whole bunch of power out of it without associated heat.

I'd stick with Vortech or another American manufacturer. They all build fantastic units.

From where I am, the pricing for the HKS SC kit is approx. USD8000.

Thanks for you input


If this thing is coming to the US it had better be more competitively priced.

If this thing develops similar/or better numbers to a vortech, I might be willing to spare a few hundred bucks extra for JApanese quality and the compact clean look of this particular SC.
If hey are going to price it into the Troposphere, then they can keep that frickin hairdryer in their own domestic market THe prices for Z forced induction are dropping by the month and it will take more than a fancy design to get our dollars

this is now available in Japan. In option mag they have it rated at 362ps at .6 boost. What's a bit more interesting is that they have an NA setup hitting 300ps. Although not the cheapest, seems to be quality product with a sophisticated emu, which is probably bring up the price..
