Looks like the JTune guys have been hard at work again, they have developed a Ultimate Supercharged 225kw+ kit which includes intake / headers / exhaust / cat / fuel pump / injectors / ECU / cams / springs / and a super charger check out the predicted results of the kits they are developing.

ok thats not too bad considering all the parts and work u get for that...only problem is ur sort of a test dummy... also i duno how many people could afford to spent just under 40k for one then 11k on motor upgrade lol and it would also void ur warranty

If you’re worried about spending money just get the mild reflash looks like it gives good gains for a totally stock car. My friend tried the mild flash on his FN2r up in Queensland a few weeks ago when the JTune guys were up in Brisbane and he loved the extra power it delivered by just adding an ECU.

so does this kit run an after cooler? cos i dont see 255kw running for long periods of time without one reliably on say a long sprited drive/race track.

The Arial Atom in the UK runs a standard k20 supercharged engine with 9psi and it’s a none intercooler setup and it’s a SUPER FAST used solely for the track and super reliably, so I doubt there will be any issues as long as it’s tuned correctly.

If you don’t know what the Arial Atom is check out this U Tube link from Top Gear.

Turning the FN2 into a supercharged setup like the atom is a FANTASTIC idea.

That's probably one of the best ways(and one I'm seriously considering) to go about increasing performance without altering too much the factory "Type Rness" of the car.
Each to their own,people maybe in a situation to readily afford the supercharger for that massive extra grunt.Some people will track their cars and may need something more than the mild flash.
I admit, I always have the resale value in my mind if I make any changes to my car.
Although the warranty is a very important consideration,your insurance situation can be even more so,you don't want to have an accident and cause say, $500,000 of property damage and find out that your insurance company will not pay out because you had installed a supercharger kit without their knowledge.Some insurance companies will allow some modifications but ALWAYS double check.
All in all I think it's great that a company like Hondatech can offer Honda owners performance options for their cars.:thumbsup:

It will never be like the Atom because the Atom is light. The FN2R isn't. BTW, the Atom has 223kW at the fly. 225kW at the wheels would be about 265kW at the fly. Would it be just as reliable as the Atom when it is pushing an extra 40kW, and driving around a few hundred more kgs?

exactly as above, super light car, just look at various us forums and you will see how many supercharged k series owners are waiting for an aftercooler due to not being able to run high boost levels for long periods of time/basically if you want to run over 270hp reliably. I believe prototype racing was ment to bring one out and jackson racing but nerver did...

People are lazy and want to buy aftermarket intercoolers. Just buy one and get custom piping routed and welded in. Might cost more, but you'd be the first one with more power. :)

Found this thread on Google whilst trying to find details on upgrading an FN2R... in all seriousness, why would someone spend that much on turning a perfectly fine car into that for so much cash when there are much easier/cheaper ways to get into the forced induction crowd *scratches head*

That being said in a few years when FN2R's are cheap as chips on the used car market, maybe someone on OzHonda will do the deal?

I'd be happy to, should i have the resources for it.

There are a lot of supercharged K20Z3's in the US, i highly doubt the K20Z4 is super-different...

You could get a lot of info on DIY from them, if you're crazy enough to try it.. that's all.
