We decided to take the Rotrex-supercharged KraftWerks/Skunk2 Honda Fit and the KraftWerks S2000 out to Willow Springs Raceway for some winter track abuse.

Wow, did we have fun passing $100,000+ vehicles in the little Fit and S2000!

The KraftWerks S2000 did more than just pass cars, it ate them up! Even with stock brakes and street tires, the KraftWerks S2000 simply out performed. New M3, F430, etc... It didn't matter...All were eaten.

The KraftWerks/Skunk2 Fit scared some cars, simply by being fast. With 200whp on tap in the little Fit, we were catching cars "out of our league." Even with 18 inch wheels and worn-out street tires, our Fit was able to catch and pass some powerful Euro muscle.

Check out the Fit chasing the M5 and more video coverage coming soon at Skunk2.com 

Happy Holidays from all of us here at KraftWerks Performance Group!
2009 will have KraftWerks boost on tap for many new models, including the 06+ Civic Si and 99-05 Mazda Miata. Even more models will be announced soon!  MORE

Los Angeles-based Hondata co-owner Doug Macmillan set 3 new land speed records at Bonneville Speed Week 2008 on the Bonneville Salt Flats this past week.
Doug Macmillan started the week by setting a new record in the G/BGCC class of 221.652 mph in his 2L K20A Acura RSX running twin Rotrex Superchargers, installed by Norco, CA based KraftWerks. This record gave him his goal of acceptance into the vaunted Bonneville 200 mph club. He went on to also take the G/BGALT record at 208.646 mph.

The crowning glory of the week however was the G/BFCC record, originally set at an impressive 226 mph in 1990. Doug has previously thought this record was out of contention, until he saw the performance of the K20A engine in combination with the twin Rotrex Superchargers fitted by Supercharger experts KraftWerks. At the 4000 ft altitude of the salt flats, the supercharged K20A was good for around 600HP. On the qualifying run, Doug scraped in with a 227 mph pass, going into a spin after the fifth and final mile, flat spotting all 4 tires. On inspection, 2 of the tires were throw-aways and two passed marginally. The team only had 2 spares which Doug could use, so the decision was made to swap the 25” tires from the rear to the front and put the spare 26” tires on the back. This decision was fraught with anxiety, as it changed the gearing of the car and would require more horsepower to get the RSX up to a record speed. During the first pass, Doug didn’t make use of the nitrous bottles in the back – at this point used for ballast only. Now the team needed the extra horsepower that the nitrous could give, only Doug had never tuned this engine with both blown and fuel combinations. It was a case of “give it your best guess”, and who better than tuning guru, Doug Macmillan! The RSX pulled an impressive 234 mph with the additional 100 HP nitrous shot and stopped straight this time, with no drama. That this speed was achieved in a production chassis, with off the shelf Honda gearbox parts and camshafts is a testament to the strength, quality and engineering of Honda products. The new record is now set at 230.653 mph.

Hondata’s RSX, with KraftWerks superchargers, is now officially the world’s fastest Acura!

The KraftWerks supercharged Hondata RSX set a new speed record at the El Mirage dry lake bed located in the Antelope Valley, CA on June 22nd 2008.

Doug of Hondata set the new record of 178.720 mph (288 kph) over the old record of 173.265 mph in the Blown Gas Competition Coupe Class (G/BGCC) placing the team 13th place overall on the leader board. Using a built 2L K20A low compression engine with KraftWerks’ K-Series Race kit featuring the Rotrex supercharger, Doug managed to increase the boost and took off with 540 HP at 9500 rpm. With wheel spin through 3rd gear, the car gained traction going into 4th. More impressive still is the fact that Doug managed the record amidst battling some transmission gremlins which hindered his ability to shift into 6th gear. With GPS data proving the car was hitting 190 mph, the official reading left Doug at 178 mph, a whole 12 mph loss due to the shift malfunction. Though it was still a record, the car has more potential yet. In its current form, it’s calculated that the RSX (all things working perfectly) could have done over 195 mph, making it truly the car to beat.

The KraftWerks 06+ S2000 kits have been shipping for about a month now, and the kit is receiving rave customer reviews!
As more reviews pour in, it is clear KraftWerks customers cannot hide their enthusiasm for the new found power.

I can’t believe the horsepower and torque. The car gets sideways easily, even in third gear corners when I roll on the power too aggressively. It rips the tires loose on the shift to third and it’s impossible to launch at over 3000rpm because of wheel-spin. -Ben, Southern California

I looked at many FI kits and ultimately I made my choice and went with the KraftWerksUSA Rotrex S/C and couldn't be happier…
KraftWerks met all of my goals and exceeded my expectations with a work of art known as their S2000 High-Boost Rotrex S/C kit.
You know what else I love about this supercharger? It’s like driving the Stealth Bomber of FI cars.
KraftWerks ranks as the best company I have ever purchased from.-Kenneth, North Carolina

1) Fed Ex Man Cometh… 2) Reinstalled ECU… 3) Just drove car… 4) Holy $h!t… 5) 'Nuff said.
I just came back from trying to get a ticket. I think I've had the S in triple digits today more than it has been its entire life.-Steve, South Carolina

It's great. It pulls like mad from 2000 to redline!-John, Georgia

What I love about this KraftWerks Supercharger System is the torque difference; when the car was naturally aspirated it was missing something. That something “missing” was the extra horsepower and torque that the S2000 needed.

As of now, I’m very happy customer with the low-boost supercharger system. It’s like what I told Oscar Jr. "It’s a whole new car and I have to relearn everything again."-Kevin, Southern California

I just got on the road and my first words to myself out loud were, "Launch Control to Major Chuck!"
It’s like a rocket!-Charles, Arizona

This kit takes the S to a whole new level. Numbers are one thing, but getting behind the wheel of this kit makes you think twice if numbers are really that important. Thank you for all the support and customer service that you provided. You have won a customer for life, and let’s face it, for a company I think that is the most important thing.-Kelly, Washington

It is very quiet and I don't hear much of a sound at all when the boost is released. Car sounds much like it did before. Finally an S with some torque!...
…The power and torque increase is even far above my expectations. You feel like you have the equivalent of stock VTEC++ any place you want it! My car is so much more fun to drive.

I just returned from the 4000+ mile drive to Pennsylvania and return. Fuel mileage was 26-28 at a steady 75 mph. At 85-95+ mph it was 23+ mpg. I'm very happy. I couldn't resist pulling with a few intrepid challengers in Vettes, Audis, Crossfires, and Porsches -- They always think they can smoke an S2000 -- So they don't give up until you mix it with them. It's fun to see the surprised faces. The road mileage is actually better than my NA mileage; in the city it probably uses slightly more fuel than NA, but there's not really much difference unless you keep your foot in it.-Jim, Texas   MORE
