That is correct... that is why if you have a lump sum of money, go for a centrifugal supercharging, smaller and more compact, design is almost "universal" with HKS and Jackson Racing doing the same design. I would if I have the dollop of cash with me.

Hmm... sorry, my mistake, it seems like they might support CVT version now :

Check if your ECU is "RTW-U510" coded? However, note that in Hondata's website, the only local CRZ model that is supported is the manual pre-FL version. You would need to check with your local mechanic if it is possible (or PM me if you don't have any).

As for supercharging, the centrifugal supercharger is usually from Rotrex, a Danish company, and the whole kit can be custom built around the Rotrex supercharger (local folks build those piping and you can mix/match with other required parts), or you can opt for complete supercharger kits from HKS (uses their in-house GT centrifugal supercharger) or Jackson Racing (which uses Rotrex-same design as HKS and all other centrifugal supercharger). The supercharger is mounted on the location where the alternator used to be (CRZ does not have an alternator), just nice to fit the centrifugal supercharger. Note that by having this kit, you will need to remove the water bottle which stores your wiper fluids. You can opt to get those water bags as alternatives.

Sprintex is an Australian company, and their supercharger technology is different, as they use screw type supercharger and is mounted on top of the engine. Their design was initially meant for the Honda Jazz GE8, but since it is the same design as the CRZ, it can be mounted into our cars too. Have no experience in Sprintex though, thus I can't comment on it much. However, I do note that they would need to raise the hood a bit in order to cater for the screw supercharger.

Note that supercharger hardware itself is not sufficient, as you still need to fork out money for a fair bit of side accessories:
1) ECU controller or piggyback (Hondata, Emanage, Haltech, Motec) will be required to control everything, and make sure you don't blow your engine.
2) Dials for boost and temp (water & oil) to allow you to monitor the boost and temp.
3) Better cooling (at least a better coolant, if you are loaded, probably a new radiator).
4) Better brakes (big brake kits are recommended)
5) Better tyres for grip and better suspension
6) LSD if possible
7) A great mechanic...

All these adds up to considerable amount of $$, thus slowly work your way up. Oh yea, you would also need to ensure that your car is compatible with all those parts that you are planning to put in as well...

Sorry, never tried speedworks before thus no experience in them, but if their NA Tune can get 30HP, that is a damn good figure. Just remember to go for a base-dyno before you go for their kit, and do a after installation dyno to see what is the nett results.
Let us know the results...

Whichever you choose, make sure you :
1) do a base dyno with your own car with the dyno machine they will be running on later post installation (do not rely on manufacturer/shop's dyno). Also ensure that you run on the closest gear to 1:1, which is the fourth gear in CRZ.
2) Install and go for post installation dyno on the same machine u run the base dyno on.
3) Post here and let us envy you
4) Tapao any cars that cucuk u on the road

Heat might be a problem for Sprintex as well, you might want to doublecheck on those who have installed it if they have any such issues, may be due to lack of intercooler.
Jackson Racing kit is expensive, and so is HKS one (both are the same design). Note that locally produced centrifugal SC kits and Jackson Racing kits uses Hondata, thus if it is not compatible with you car, you will need to strike them out. HKS kit uses F-CON, and it is mentioned in their website that it does not support Auto-box as well.

Tough luck bro...

I have seen people supercharging the auto CRZ, but not here though, in COCM FB.
They may be using Sprintex and Emanage Ultimate. Do check with the guys there...

Avantgarde Mechanic, at PJ SS2... does my car, and plenty of other CRZ...

I would agree with AveoHzq, it would be the best to go for folks who have handled CRZ more frequently as they do have the experience and knowledge to work on it. I frequent Avantgarde for my servicing & mods etc, so far i find them to be good and knowledgeable in Honda cars. It is also easier to get parts for our cars if you go to Honda specialist like Avantgarde.

It is located in SS2, near Taman Jaya LRT station. Becareful of "poison" there...

The HPD Kit is now official, for those with the moolah to spend :

Time to Supercharge your car?

Buy and pasang, and then make us proud ... Make sure got video...
Frankly, I would still go for Rotrex SC rather than turbo or Sprintex. Major engineering and tuning companies like HKS, HPD and Jackson are using the same design, thus the design should be pretty sound/solid and should be good in terms of parts availability. 50-70 ponies should not be a problem to obtain....

Long post below on my opinion...
Personally, I do not think it will shorten the lifespan of the IMA battery, both engines and IMA battery are not directly linked and both discharge/charge is controlled by the IMA ECU. This is not your standard 12V battery that we are talking about, which is charged by the alternator powered by the crank pulley. IMA ECU will cut off charging of that battery when a certain limit is reached. The IMA will also protect the discharging of the battery if your speed or RPM is too high, even on stock cars the IMA will do it (you will notice that battery does not assist at high rpm). If the battery gets too hot (happened in mine a few times), the IMA will also retard battery assist, causing your car to lose power.
By the way, what is top speed warning light? As far as I know, there are no speed warning or cuts for our CRZ (you'd notice some folks did in excess of 200kmh on the streets), thus not sure what your mechanic meant by that. However, I do know that there is a speed sensor inside the gearbox itself, which measures the velocity of the gearshafts to allow appropriate charging of the IMA battery. As far as I know, if you change your final drive, it can cause the velocity measurements inside your gearbox to go abit wonky, and IMA charging to go a bit nuts. Is this what he meant? You should be safe provided you leave your final drive alone, it only affect your car if you have changed the final drive or some LSDs.

If in doubt, try asking Avantgarde... they have done tons of SC CRZ.... a most recent SC monster just rolled out of the garage recently.

Yes, provided the kit has been taken care during installation and dismantling. Superchargers have extremely tight tolerance, hence their high price, but they are usually manufactured using good quality materials to withstand abuse such as heat and knocks.
But I still won't take up sprintex kits, I trust HKS with their design and engineering... so will stick back to centrifugal design kits, just my personal taste (worried about heat issue on engine).

Yes they do. They use Rotrex superchargers, comes with intercooler and stainless steel piping (custom fabricate), and Hondata to control everything. Think they still use Synapse bypass valve too.... As usual, they use only Torco oils for their cars. Call them for more details... if you need their number, PM me...

All the best guys!

Hi, I am not sure about FL CRZ; I am pretty sure the hardware can go in, but so far I don't know of any ECU/piggyback which can control the SC kit for the FL ECU once you have plugged the hardware in.
Sorry, not able to help on this... try asking your modding mechanic..

Nope.... only customer's car. If the customer allows u to have a go, then yes....
If not then too bad.

For those interested in getting the ultimate rims for your CRZ, I am selling my 18" Volk Racing CE28N Genesis limited edition rims, at the link below. Thanks!

Unfortunately so...
Bro, beli aje... $$ can find back but this rim no longer available...
Give you discounts la...
At this moment, only Takeda intake and Hondata is still available, but they have been spoken for.
The last item on the list would be the rims.

I dont mind if installment not too long, can discuss bro.... If got time we go sit at pelita and talk about it
Ejat took and masuk into his kereta already.... Only thing left now are the rims and Takeda Stage2 Wrinkle Black PRO DRY-S Air Intake (potential buyer yet to turn up). Hondata has been taken up too. If anyone interested on the remaining items, please let me know...

Nope, car returning back to stock standard....
Most parts were sold while I was demodding them at Avantgarde, most saw those parts and wanted them at the same time. Not much left I'm afraid... but are you interested in the Takeda?

PM'ed you...

Hondata sold bro... unfortunately. Need to use Hondata to barter trade the cost of de-modding my car.

Eh? U mean you are the guy who bought my BC BR?
