FYI, all dynos are not created equal. This dyno will baseline a stock brz/frs/86 at about 150-153 whp. So hitting 223 is an increase of about 45% or 70+ hp at the wheels on California 91 octane.
hopefully the hks unit will last longer than the rotrex units, main difference btwn the two are the rotrex just uses flat gearless rings and friction to drive the shaft and the hks unit uses gears, and hks is quality while rotrex uses cheap bearings and is of questionable quality with all the shaft breakages of rotrex units out there im looking at the hks units now.
just wondering but is this the HKS Supercharger something that can be considered universal? i have a project car id like to put this on as cheaply as possible so i was wondering what i would need to make this work. It would be going into a honda pilot so i was wondering where i might start with something like this.
i think stock its around 174 so thats a gain of 59 hp which means around 34 % more power ... thats pretty much to take for a stock engine ... if you beat it hard even that can make your engine last like 1/3 of its stock lifespan ...
that music. isnt background music. its foreground music, and the voices are background. can barely hear the dude. I know he is a boring speaker. but cut the music, and just go natural sounds!
pretty poor cooling setup, putting the inter cooler over the top of the radiator = BAD, then on the other side you put an oil cooler. effectively covering up around 35-40% of the radiator! on the passenger side there was a big space I would have vertically mounted the inter cooler and made new pipes. or HKS could have made a top mount WRX style (perfect for a boxer, the engine has heaps of under hood clearance) much better options then what and how this was installed. pretty disappointed.
So wait a minute. You obviously have a PHD in this, so forgive me for asking. You would rather put an intercooler ON TOP of an engine, rather than in front of a radiator? Maybe you're not aware of this ... but heat rises. The top mount intercooler is one of the first things to go in any build. Putting your intercooler in front of a radiator isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. The energy you are dissipating from the intercooler isn't very much, and it's pretty permeable. Driving your car over some dirty roads will cause way more blockage than this. The BRZ/GT86 also has pretty bad under hood clearance.
Wrx has had top mount since inception. Plus with a air scoop in bonnet. The only time u wld get any sort of heatsoak. Wld be after the car was sitting after being run. Aka hot start
jack black It has it, because it is cost effective, not because it is the best solution. I have two lying in my garage collecting dust if you want them. Think about it. Heat rises. Not only does heat rise, BUT you have to force air in to a positive pressure area. The car is moving, air is coming in through the front radiator, pressurizing the engine bay. At the same time, your scoop has to force air in to that area. It doesn't work very well. The setup shown here works quite well, and is well thought out.
jack black Nearly 90% of aftermarket Forced Induction setups for EVERY car on the planet has a Front Mount intercooler that sits in front of the radiator.
jack black Even WRX owners buy Front Mount intercooler setups when they go to upgrade and want more power. You still have a long way to go in learning about cars.
that is a huge gain for a stock engine, also the parts are so well made and design

Wow, that's a really nice kit and great video. I like Mike's comments pointing out all the little engineering specifications.
HKS V2 , Love it!! The car feels how it should have been from factory💫⚡️⭐️✨
Nice job! Thank you for posting this install video!

as you can see this (bar and plate) intercooler is a tube and fin design. . .
Do you have to buy anything extra to install the supercharger or do you get everything you need in the HKS box?
Doesen't this Scion come with 200hp? +23 for the amount of money isn't a bit too less hp?
Is it true that the supercharger also fits on Nissan Altimas?
Good install vid but, Wow... Just 223hp
Wheel horsepower.
How much is labor for installing SuperCharger?
Nice.

Snow Flake did you ever find out if it was universal
They do have a universal kit but it doesn't come with a bracket for it
whats the name of the shop that did this?
GTChannel Where can I get one of the t shirts that Mike is wearing in the beginning of the video? So cool!
If its a complete out the box kit why are are you cutting and fabrication parts?
Title song at 6.51?
Will subaru/toyota ever make a turbocharged 86/frs? Similar to 2015 WRX
Do my is350 please please please!
Wow
Only 223whp? Stock they are around 180ish whp correct? 50whp gain

How many pounds are they on??...
