Kraftwerks Rotrex Supercharger Full Installation // 2008 FA5 Honda Civic Si

[@mikea5205]

8th gens are a complete pain to work on. Very tight engine bays. Nice work guys.

[@Gen10civic]

Just replacing the clutch and having to remove the whole subframe was a nightmare for me

[@Camj27]

@@Gen10civicpretty much every modern fwd car you need to remove the subframe to remove the transmission. If you have a lift and a subframe jack it’s not bad at all.

[@Gen10civic]

@@Camj27 all I had was a garage and a freight harbor jack

[@royskiss]

Just changing headlight bulbs suck

[@bryanhenderson9637]

Very smart doing all the other maintenance items while in there such as the gaskets, AC condenser, and radiator.

[@cliftonsargent1572]

20:46 seems like a very important part to show how you fenageled that to fit, I’m trying to get this done on my 08 but have no idea how to make that fit if it’s not a simple place and go

so satisfying to see it all come together, great camera work

[@jngtruong]

What! Did i see John use a wrench to lift up the battery?? Learned something new everyday. Thx Mike and AHC fam.

[@clyyz]

got an 94 eg hatch but planning on getting an FA5 for a daily, just been binge watching videos on the car

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@Mustyboxers53]

Awesome video I really needed this since I just ordered the kit too. Would love to see more episodes on this car

[@ahcgarage]

Good for you, you will have a blast

[@cleatcheck45]

Charlie Moua is the man! he made the exact one for me too.

[@ahcgarage]

Yes he is!!

[@Brandon-C.]

First time watching this channel. Great video! Good editing and informative dialog 🤙

[@ahcgarage]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for tuning in

[@celloasis]

Definitely a badass video can’t wait to see more from this build

[@ahcgarage]

DYNO video coming up next week, stay tuned.

[@timfretts9266]

Nice video. Clean 8th gen. I would've spent the little extra money and put an aftermarket fuel rail in it.

[@ahcgarage]

This is not the end for this build. More to come

[@Lost_investor888]

Great episode guys. I love this style of video! Keep up the good work. The quadruple qualified master tech is okay too!

[@ahcgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@arefinlabib4630]

Finally the 8th Gen Si!!!!

[@ahcgarage]

More to come

[@BulliKid]

Supercharger is the way to go on 8th gen for simple bolt power enhancer. On my 8th gen R18 I went turbo because the layout is much easier to go turbo.

[@nhiathao1451]

How much were you making on turbo? I did kraftwerks on my R18. Making 258hp & 180ish torque.

[@BulliKid]

@@nhiathao1451 never took it to a dyno but I bent a rod at 7-8 psi Now I rebuilt the motor and running only 4 psi and car is happy. Probably 160 whp

[@BasedChad93]

I'm so glad to see a Kraftwerks install!

[@Zosh]

SUPERCHARGED 8TH GEN FTW!!

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@McDzy]

beautiful! thank you for this vid! quality!!! as usual! may need to bring my 8th gen civic si to you guys for this same set up

What was that wizardry lifting the battery with that wrench

[@ahcgarage]

One wrench fixed all

[@RobertJToledo]

I have the very same car Fiji blue pearl FA5. I have 110k on it. Its garage kept with a cover on it. Its been parked since 2015. I wonder how much all that work cost? Including parts and labor. I'd love to have that done. Location DFW Texas. 😁

[@ahcgarage]

The labor can vary but with all said and done including clutch and tuning, $7-8k

[@RobertJToledo]

@@ahcgarage I greatly appreciate the reply. Now I have an idea of cost. Now I gotta find a reputable shop in the DFW area. Maybe Humble Performance in Tulsa, OK. Cant wait to see dyno video. Thanks again guys.

[@nomames1239]

Love the 8th gen content 🎉

[@ahcgarage]

Killer work and Cars 👍😊

Thank you!!

[@theviolas29]

Kit looks awesome! Hope there is a video of it on the dyno.

[@absentstars474]

White wheels look great on a red or blue car!

[@ahcgarage]

Agreed!!

[@CGNLEvolved]

Did ya consider installing a positive displacement sc kit like mercracing kit? Complete bolt-on, powerband is more beneficial than the kw for street driving.

[@Justanormalkidd99]

I definitely need a fa5 or fg2 forsure 💯🔥

[@fabianmendoza61]

Nice job guys, another great video

Will do. Be sure to stay tuned for next week

Love the build! That stock fuel rail has got to go man!!

[@unkownfather498]

Im an absolute beginner when it comes to cars but i want to build something unique, like supercharging a 10th gen honda accord, its not known if its possible, and that is what drives me to want to do it

Hopefully soon

[@bobfisher-zd2lt]

Right on, thanks!!

[@mr.bigs7652]

Did u guys do anything with the alternator pulley. It looked like the belt wasn't even moving it since the superchargers pulley is above it. Is it supposed to be like that or did u guys do any aftermarket things to it?????????

[@celloasis]

Do you know what ball joint spacers it had on ? Gold color

[@ahcgarage]

We are not sure, sorry

[@thatzSaju]

I’m about to buy an si if I wanted this work done how long would it take and how much would it cost all and all for the extra materials and labor

[@Imxpertgamer]

You're looking at over 6K.

[@alvinsalandanan7607]

Nice,may i know what is the wheel setup?👍🏻

[@fuexiong7650]

Nice upgrade. Charlie’s local here in MN and way to not slaughter his last name. Haha

[@ahcgarage]

Right on!!

[@CrAzY6tothe6]

Why does the manifold only work with that kit only? Is it cause of the length and size of tubing?

[@jngtruong]

I heard the 8th gen SI is a PITA to bleed the coolant. What is your take to get it burped and bleed efficiently?

[@luisarmendariz9031]

That civic it’s gonna fly, damn

[@ahcgarage]

Going to be a fun one

[@pin-monkeypinball3548]

I have a 2011 w 208k miles. Have always wanted to install one of these. The car hasn't been beat on and never any major issues. I get on it once in awhile and still drive it quite a bit. Still has original clutch which I'm going to change just because. Do you think the motor is safe with added power without a rebuild with this mileage?

[@fabiofernandes4135]

Part 2 please, testing!!

[@ahcgarage]

Stay tuned for next week

[@lordhong2553]

Same kit on my fa5 432hp to the wheel. Went with a different pulley and it made a world of difference

As a shop foreman of a honda shop how do you figure out labor when doing jobs like this? We have been toying with the idea.

[@manueldelcaribe]

I buy a Acura ILX but this K24 V7 have so little aftermarket I regret not getting a earlier Honda or Acura car is so nice but I want to add at least 100 HP + but is a pain in the a.z

[@TheoRhoades]

How much does something like this typically cost? Kit + install? I'm going to guess....8k?

[@rastaman7140]

Kit alone is 4800 plus the clutch and upgraded fuel pump. The fuel pump they send with the kit is not that good.

[@ahcgarage]

With Labor, Hondata, Clutch upgrade & Tune, you are not far from that

[@TheoRhoades]

Plus suspension & wheels 😳😳

[@rastaman7140]

I’m the process of my build on my FA5. Just bought the suspension, wheels and tires. Already have the Hondata, debating between supercharger or turbo. Was really wanting to get a type r but with the rates and the price, I’m not willing to pay that.

id love to do that to my Fg2 but 10k $ is too much for me lol

[@gerardohernandez8901]

Why was it making all that noise sounds pretty annoying like a squeaky serpentine belt. I wonder if it goes away after the tune

[@ahcgarage]

Tune won’t make the supercharger sound to go away

[@secreteer]

there has to be a better location for the airfilter

I preferred twin scrolls instead of kraftwork scroll.

I never understood why a bunch of kids like this put the intake in the back of the engine bay. Wouldn't you want it somewhere in the area of the oem to get cooler air?

[@jamaicansole1]

The newer versions of the kw kit, (for the 9th gen) terminate that intake pipe right behind the headlight, not near the header.. a quiet way of them saying you're right..

It’s actually a common color for K series. I don’t personally like it either

[@bryanwelch6209]

Just go turbo. It's more efficient and less wear and tear.

[@seshelbow336]

But the rotrex power curve on a FWD car is far superior. Rotrex puts the power down far far better than equivalent power turbo.

[@JungleMedia2]

Quadruple tech 😂😂😂

[@hondaboyz213-cj2og]

All that money 💰🤑🤑 to make no power could have baught a eBay turbo kit for way cheaper and made the same power as that super charger is going to make and it would have looked way cooler

Well I'm just saying if someone wants to spend money just to spend money sure go for it but if you are trying to build the illusion of power without actually making any power there are more caust effective way to do so
