HKS Supercharger
Has anyone read about the new HKS Supercharger being used on there new 2003 Challenge Honda Civic? Its a screw type stated before by another forum member.

Its a Rotrex SP30 series centrifugal charger (www.rotrex.eu.com). Check out the performance specifications and design (close loop oil system, filter and cooler)seams very reliable.

According to HKS sales and marketing people (when I called on 2/16/04), they are developing a STREET LEGAL kit that produces 270-280whp.
They are currently developing it and will put most turbo kits out there today "to sleep". If you know what I mean. The big question is when will it be ready for sale, and how much MULA will cost??

Following up on the February, March and April editions of Super Street magazine for the outcome of the "2003 Honda Civic Si Challenge".

:cool: :D

Seems like they have solved all their problems if they are ready to release their kit soon.
I was told from an actually tech that was at the challenge, that they had alot of problems with their setup that day.
Thats why its taking them so long to release their kit.

BTW- did they tell you 280 whp? If they did, that would put it to a 300+ hp car to the crank, pretty scary to be the first to test it:confusem:

when you say you'll believe it when you see it...are you talking about HKS having a sc or bringing it out to the us?

them having it and having it available for the k20a3 in a kit. i think that if they do release anything that it will be for the rsx-s and not for the EP. hope im wrong but after talking to the HKS rep at SEMA that was the vibe i got bout their turbo system(still not out for rsx or ep) and that vibe carries over to this super-charger deal.
