RESULT : HKS supercharger, Money Well Spent

The results are out! We are extremely impressed on the numbers that APH's pro tuner has tuned to Jacky's Voltex HKS supercharged Honda S2000 AP2.

The HKS GT supercharger pro kit has managed to put a nice 353 hp and 246 lbft to the wheel on the S2000 at 10 PSI. Powerband shown is very constant and smooth.

For the price and power gain ratio, it's definitely a good buy for a reliable daily driving S2000.

INSTALL : HKS GT Supercharger Pro Kit for S2000

Finally got our hands onto one of the very first HKS GT Supercharger for S2000 last week! Without delay, we have started the installation right away.

Included in the box..

- GTS7040 Supercharger Unit
- Traction Fluid Filter
- Traction Fluid Tank
- Traction Fluid
- Traction Fluid Cooler
- Idler Pulley (x2)
- Crank Pulley

- Supercharger Crank Pulley
- Supercharger Unit 120mm Pulley
- Belt
- Intercooler
- Relieve Valve Assembly
- Air Filter with Suction Pipe
- Intercooler with Piping
- All hardware and hosing required for installation

Aside from the HKS supercharger pro kit, we have also added a few more parts as some are needed and recommended.

- Hondata Flash Pro
- DeatschWerks Plug & Play 800cc kit
- DeatschWerks 255 LPH In-Tank Fuel Pump
- Denso IK27 Sparkplugs 
- Braille B2015 Compact Battery
- Exedy Hyper Single Clutch Kit
- Greddy Oil Cooler  Kit
- DEI heat wrap

The whole installation process with all the parts installed, took around one full day to do so, from Saturday night to Sunday night. After one full day of hard work, the results is definite. Consider as it is a plug and play, reliable daily driving setup, the feeling of acceleration to the high rpm range has a consistent horsepower and torque gains throughout the powerband. HKS' products are always the trusted for their quality and craftsmanship indeed.

Can't wait till the weekend to see the tuning graph from APH :)  Stay tuned.
