sometime ago i seen you guys had a supercharger in the works for us guys that own the 06-07 FG2 Civic, one with 250HP w/o Intercooler and one with 400HP with intercooler (full build), what ever happened to this and do you have any plans for the R18's anymore??

We are working hard on the K-series project still...Our development schedule isn't confirmed as of now but we are thinking that the v6 engines are next...As for the R18 engine there have been some initals thoughts and ideas on what to do with it but nothing firmed up or on paper as of yet... Smile

Sorry for not seeing your post. My email is supposed to tell me when a new topic is formed.... I must have deleted it by accident.

The R18 is a tough engine for supercharging. We will look at it after we have the K and V6 underway. It not going to be until at least 2008, especially if we get a good response to the first 2 setups. We cannot spread outselves too thin.

Thanks for the reply Chris, i do appreciate this!
and as for the R-series S/C kit hopefully sometime in the horizon makes me very excited. I am so sick and tired of manfacturers concentrating only on the FG2 (K20's) when im pretty sure that this R18 could pull some nice numbers on the Dyno.

Ill be looking forward for the R-series kit as im sure a lot of others will be too.

i know u said that u have some ideas, but what about using a set up like the scion Tc's have idk if you have seen them but if u want i could find a pix, and also i have aftermarket under and over drive pulleys, if u guys do make a s/c for the R-series motors will i still be able to run it with the smaller pulleys?

I'm all ears and eyes. And if you have an underdrive pulley, it will require a slightly different s/c pulley too. We'll be able to provide what you need when the time comes.

Cheers,
Chris

mabey something like that

yes?....no?

any new on when u might get started R&D

RedShiftChris · Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:27 am Post subject:

Yeah, that setup is a possibility, although our charger is more wide than that and it is a little more difficult to fit it this way.

I don't see us starting R&D on this for some time. We are going to exhaust the K series apps and then move to V6. That's puts this a year out at least. But it's still on the radar map. Smile

Thanks for your effort on posting those.

im very glad to hear that in the future a s/c kit is possible for the R18A1 but couldnt it come before a V6 model?

i understand the theory of exhausting all efforts towrds the K20 but why not try out the FG1's first off?

sad to hear its over 1 year away, and the fact of the matter is if you had brought out a s/c kit sooner you'd be the only market out there!
