Knight Sports Supercharger
Here's some pics/info of Knight Sport's Supercharger. Wonder when it'll be available in the states?
Article here. Original thread here. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=60582 |
$5500 or so. I wonder what type of blower it is? I'm guessing centrifugal, but I can't tell for sure from the pics.
It's coming down to the wire on superchargers it seems. This one, Hymee's, Pettit's, Rotormaster's, AFE's, and I think I missed one. Competition is good though, keeps the prices down. :) |
Where's the blower?

have a look at the radiator it's sloping the wrong way! looks like they are setting up for a V mount intercooler :) |
I like the front lip.

If I remember correctly it is centrifugal.
You are correct on the intercooler placement. The reverse direct radiator? Dunno... I think it might be their oil cooler (JDM cars only come with one). Power output, etc? Haven't seen anything... |
I take it it's an electric drive supercharger?
If the blower's up under the strut bar I can't imagine how they'd get a drive belt to it. |
I am loving that body kit. What is it?

yep looks very goooooood

Not exactly the best place for the intercooler though. For those of you who have removed the stock intake box, there is only a small hole for air to pass into the box. I dont think its nearly enough air to be really effective.

I really like the way the 'sponsors' on the side of the door are ghost. It doesn't intrude on the colour nor lines of the car.

The front bumper is about $850. Then add $2000 in shipping :P

whats not in usa? im so confused
if your regarding to the knight sports super charger well yeah thats pretty obvious, but guess what there is this service called 'importing' maybe the dictionary could run you by the definition of that service in case youre struggling |
Whats a dictionary?
|
Its what I use to keep my table from wobbling.

I think that application is only made for RHD cars and Specs (IE Jap model)

where the sc fits and where the pipes go will suit both LHD and RHD cars. only the engine management may need tweaking. in .au they are using the emanage to tune the kit so I don't see US tuners having much problem with that.

They have Access Port and noe Hymee

thread back from the dead

euro vs. usa and jap
hey guys im not sure but i believe the euro specs are different compared to the usa and jap. the knight sports ecu works on both us and jap, not euro. I hope the supercharger works on the us. don't quote me
i believe the ecu's for both the jap and us are very close just the little tweaks cause of our F**K*** smog laws |
hmmm id like to investigate a lil more
|
knight sports SC
any more info?
did they go into production ? for someone that just wants a little more low end this seems cool |

pretty sure he opted to buy an equally junky baby turbo instead
|
Jeez... nice people around here!!
|
wow, quite the thread revival from Rob.
Rotary Junkie: no need to get offended, I believe Team was just referring to Rob posting a WTB thread for a greddy turbo. Anyone who is familiar with that system will agree it is a little baby turbo that runs out of air pretty quickly. Let's try to keep this civil and on topic. thanks guys |
Sorry about the misunderstanding!
Quite right about the Greddy, though! |
There’s no problem Jedi, but in response:
Not at all, and I’m no different than yourself wrt speaking my mind when I’m so inclined to do so. What exactly is the issue though? Because that pretty much summarizes both systems up fairly well. What did I really say other than summarizing that I was pretty sure he already posted publicly on the forum about buying the equally bad other option he was looking at? . |
Indeed, I didn't get the context, my mistake
No hard feelings, I hope |
