Definitely great walk through! I’m building an off the wall build on my 19 pioneer LE. Kind of a short course type, was wanting to run an amr500 supercharger but being there’s no external drive I think I’m going with a gt15. It’s amazing how simple these kits seem! Definitely answered some of my “how” and “where” questions so thank you!
This is excellent. We are definitely listening. I will personally make sure the instructions get updated with clarification around some of the aspects that can use it. Thanks again Mike.
Glad I waited, was very disappointed in the poor quality of kit, having to relocate things , and parts not coming properly sized. template not correct. These guys had JR racing to help them figure out what not to do and they still got it wrong. Done a JR kit and installation was easy and perfect, fit like factory made. Had higher hopes for Kraftwerks
I just picked up a talon. I have over 7k followers on TikTok. About to start doing some vidoes of upgrade installs? Wanna sponsor me on the east coast? NC. Send me one I’ll do a video of the install with all the fixes. Message me to discuss further. Going to approach Jackson too. See which wants to sponsor first…
The Kraftwerks tune has gotten better but I think it’s probably optimized for sea level. I got mine installed but the tune I’m still having issues with mine. It runs better at the Dunes which is lower elevation than where I live but if I go into the mountains it stutters and bogs really bad. When you contacted PPEI did they want you to purchase a power commander and auto tuner as well? That’s what they want me to do.
Great Video! My Kraftwerks Turbo is on it's way. I will be referencing your vid more than once I'm sure. Noticed the speakers under the dash. What size and brand did you go with? Thx.
@@mikeoutdoors769 I was going to go with the Memphis audio but my installer talked me into a Wetsounds soundbar and 2-6.5" drivers under the dash. Great system but really expensive! You mentioned you recorded more video of the install? Please Share!!!!!
a little concerning that the KW tune was that bad. even the jackson tune was pretty bad when i got it but way better than that. but the kit looks good.
Great video, thanks for covering everything. This is really helpful to see, my kit arrives Monday and I'm excited to get started. Hoping they corrected the tuning issue by now. I have a 1000x4 LV, think I'm the first 4 seater they sold to, so I'm told! I also have a KWT particle separator, and seeing where the intercooler mounts it's obvious I'll have to make some adjustments to that. Thanks for the tips and the pointers, I'm nervous about the install but I'm sure it'll go well. How long did the install take you? Thoughts on the difference power wise? Thanks in advance!
It probably took us about 9 hours. But that was because we went and bought new header nuts and spent quite awhile getting the Intercooler brackets to work on the cage. Also did the afr and boost gauges at the same time. If I got the tips off this video it would have saved me about 2 hrs. Very noticeable power difference. Obviously way faster but also the motor sounds smoother and doesn’t have to rev so high to get around.
@@mikeoutdoors769 appreciate the quick reply! Is the boost gauge something you did for your own comfort/assurance or was this suggested? Also, 9 hours by yourself? I have a buddy joining in on the fun. I plan to rip things apart this weekend, this way when the package arrives Monday I can dive straight in. I suppose I can pull the airbox, exhaust/header, and skid plates to start.
Boost gauge is more for my curiosity. I strongly! Recommend an afr gauge. Then you can tell if there’s something going wrong and you can see any exhaust leaks almost instantly.
It’s been great. No issues and I love that as kraftwerks betters the product they send you the upgraded parts for free. I haven’t gotten a ton of time on it since we had some family stuff last year. But hoping to do more riding and make more videos soon.
Hey man, I got my turbo installed but having issues with the map, seems fuel related. Ppei stated they don't have a tune ready for the Talon. Who did you work with and or can you send me their info? Thanks in advance!
@@mikeoutdoors769 thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate all the info you shared in your video. Might be a possible second car for me someday, I know they’re pretty anemic from the factory
Hey there Mike. I know it's quite some time since did your install but quick question....my install went well, a little challenging doing it alone. Started right up, runs great but smoking quite a bit at idle. Any issues like this w your install? Thx.

@@mikeoutdoors769 Hey Mike, so contacted Kraftwerks and Jason said to check the routing of the turbo oil return. Sure enough it was turned up against the firewall. Grabbed it, moved it downward and low and behold problem solved!
@@mikeoutdoors769 showed about -8 at idle but it got to dark to see what the reading was. Still need to wire it. LOL. Definitely building boost because the power is a huge difference.

Map from PPEI now costs $500.00. Not free like it sounds in this Video. Dyno Jet is not working on map files for turbos. PPEI has got you by the balls if you want your Talon to run right. Worth it? Hell yeah!! so much more power and still cheaper that the Jackson turbo.
@@ironwolph PPEI is a performance shop. If you download the instructions, they say that KW only supplies the base tune to get it running. The video makes it sound like PPEI is there to help. That was when they were just developing the turbo. Now PPEI charges $500.00 to get a map so it runs well and gets the shift points better. I contacted Dyno Jet, and they are not developing maps for turbo Talons, and I know of no other companies that would be able to help. I had the PV3 also. It's well worth the money to turbo the Talon. there is a big difference. Just do it and have fun.
@@glenfreibfreiboth4787 ok so I will buy the turbo and install it with the dyno jet tuner. Then I go to a proforance shop and they will fine tune it for 500$ or they sell a tune that is $500? Thanks for the help!!

Thanks for the video Mike and your sons comment about the pshhh sound was great 😁
Eric will take care of you. nice place to ride. i miss the desert.
Eric definitely did. Great guy!
@@mikeoutdoors769 how much boost you running with ppei tune? And get those pistons changed!!!!
sort of sad he had to go to PPEI to get it working right
Thanks soo much for this video and love the kids input on the Phssshhh
Every issue you mention I ran into as well. Good to see you had it out for a ride without any issues. What were you seeing for boost?
Around 6-7 before shifting. But they were real small dunes so it wasn’t really under load
Does the kraft werks turbo void the honda warranty

I’m having a problem with the kw tune when I upload it on the dyno Jett nothing shows up I have no idea what’s wrong with it
Those talons are cool.
Sounds awesome! Who makes those mirrors I have the same krash cage
Could you send me a tune the kw tune doesn’t want to load on my dyno jett
Looks good man! Btw where did you get that plate to mount the UGO and boost gauge under the radio?
Thank you! I just ordered a sheet of abs plastic on Amazon and cut it to size

How much boost can you run? What kind of horsepower can one expect with this kit? Does the tune adjust for the transmission as well?
The kit does 8 psi. Which is all the stock pistons can take. The tune does adjust the trans as well. I believe it’s around 158 hp
@@mikeoutdoors769 thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate all the info you shared in your video. Might be a possible second car for me someday, I know they’re pretty anemic from the factory
Are you running stock exhaust? I want to buy a cat bag exhaust do you know if it will work and which one is the best
I run the evo magnum exhaust and love it

Toys always need more power or to sound cooler.
question did you by chance replace the pistons as well or plan too?
I haven’t changed pistons yet but do plan to
Where does the vacuum line go?
To the top of the blow off valve
Did you go into the plenum for the boost gauge? If so what fitting did you use?
We T’d off the BOV vacuum line.
T’d off the BOV and I am showing vacuum and not boost. Any ideas why?
Some show vacuum till you build boost. Does it show boost once your driving?
@@mikeoutdoors769 showed about -8 at idle but it got to dark to see what the reading was. Still need to wire it. LOL. Definitely building boost because the power is a huge difference.
Are you using a Wideband sensor?
Yes

Aem
