Kraftwerks Supercharger K20C2

[Jrsmooth13]

So, I was up late night, doing some googles.. "How to make civic faster?"... "2016 Civic boost".. and I came accross the first turbo kit I have seen for the K20C2, which I'm pretty sure is the 2.0L. Just wondering has anyone attempted this or think this is a bad idea?

This is not a drop-in kit. You'll need to fabricate custom charge piping, A/C delete bracket, and make numerous other hardware changes like injectors and clutch. Never mind the fact that tuning for boost is not an option yet, unless you want to convert to stand alone engine management. It would cost you $10-15K to have the necessary work done by a reputable tuning shop to make it reliable.

I'm sure a drop in kit will eventually be out at some point. Probably a while after Hondata will release the flash pro for the 2.0 as they normally tune with that.

Exactly what I've been saying to people with the 2.0 n/a it's gonna cost lots of money. And a long wait. That's just how it is.

The quoted figure is inclusive of the labor cost, not just parts. Parts wise, this is doable for $6-7K, if one has the know-how to do everything themselves, which, based on the OP, clearly he does not. The cost-performance ratio is not really that bad since the right rotrex setup will deliver in excess of 300 whp.

Why not buy a different car altogether?

I personally bought this car because of the reputable aftermarket support that it gets. This car will probably just end up being a civic body for me at one point

Trust the people telling you to save your money. It's not worth $7k, and realistically it doesn't end there. I put a $6k kit on my civic si, then I had to replace several parts that broke due to too much power. Axles, clutches, etc.

Ended up spending way more than I wanted and wasn't really happy.

Exactly my point. Couldn't have said it better.
