Knightsports Supercharger Kit
#81
i am,
but we gonna have a look @ the knightsport ecu to see their tune, and see what sort of trims they are using as a baseline to work with the kit.
Just that there is not really any info at all on this kit on this forum,
So any sort of info would be useful

FI is FI - there is more information around the forum on this than you will glean from doing that . Even if you do get the target Lambdas - you have no way of knowing if that was the actual lambdas achieved with the tune - could be totally misleading .
Timing info might be usefull - that is about it .
how on earth will you be able to pull that info out of the ecu anyway ?

No one ask me? I am probably the first one here who have seen this kit installed and in action.
Knight sports 4 beat ecu provide the baseline tune and disabled some cel
That long thing is the supercharger oil cooler. The silver one is the intercooler. It mounts right next to the intake.
Knight sports Japan offer 3 pulley option for this kit. Smallest wheel gives ya faster respond but lower boost. Larger pulley of course gives ya more power but a little slower responds.
When u get this kit,they recommend you to get their radiator and the radiator relocation kit.
Their radiator, I have it. Its made by koyo with Knight sports spec. 100% bolt on and its core size its 53mm thick(stock is 38mm)
The relocation kit on the other hand. Will change the radiator mount to the bottom of the under tray. Make it into some kind of v-mount configuration. I will get it with the SC kit later next year
They said their tune is very conservative. And its on street gas.

oh thanks for that
In terms of the radiator i got the BHR auto one.
Would it still work with the V mount offered by KS?
Plus the tuning would still be better with a proper MAF tuned, rather then baseline tuned?
My pulley is about 12 cm from one end to next, do you know which pulley this is?
Also did your kit come with the instructions for installation? if so could you copy it and send it?

In Japan, Knight Sport will flash your ECU PLUS E-Manage Ultimate for complete control. Not sure how they do it for their AU customers.
I forgot the pulley size, I think u got the middle one Im not 100% sure.
I did not get the kit yet, I experienced the kit in person when I was in Hong Kong 2 months ago. if I didnt have to fix my FC I probably got the kit already. Also, this kit is "not supposed" to be installed by end-user. If in Japan, you have to go to their shop, they will charge u installation and tuning fee, and do all the work for you. For the Hong Kong kit I saw, Knight Sports actually sent a team of people over to do the install + Tune, lots of $$$, but the result was amazing.

I've been running a rotrex (same SC) now for about 2 years. brettus is right FI is FI and the hymee pro-tuner will be fine for the application if you pay attention to the MAF. I'm running the protuner and it is a good bit of gear.
as for the pulley sizing 120mm is about the biggest pulley rotrex makes. but it really depends on the diameter of the crank pulley. for example I'm using a 70mm pulley but I could do the same gearing with a 90mm pulley. with both sizes you can work out what's happening.

if you change one pulley sizes compared to the other (SC and crank):
a smaller supercharger pulley gives more boost and more low rpm boost (more low end power, better response)..
a bigger SC pulley gives lower boost, and less low rpm boost/response.
a bigger crank pulley will give more boost and more low rpm boost.
a smaller crank pulley will give less boost and less low rpm boost.

Now in regards to this, i made a wrong note:
The pulley wheel that is attached onto the SC is actually 95mm
The one i measured at 120mm was actually the crank pulley that came with the kit

the agency power pulley is very small. you might not be able to fit a third pulley over the top of it. you might have to go back to the std pulleys

I've been trying to avoid spending money on it. in it's latest configuration it's pretty good it starts to boost 3000rpm and I have 5psi by around 4000rpm then it climbs to 9 but fluctuates wildly for some reason, either belt slip or motor issues. the MAF still has issues and I have just started to address that with a new filter and maf tube.
