Sounds great an all, but it's coming from F2, and well...its F2. And based on my personal experiences, well, don't hold your breath.

This is certainly showing more promise than some of their other projects (cough turbo kit cough). I couldn't even get a dyno graph for that one.

I would have expected more out of a D23. Not that impressed...

LOL, f2 is not producing it but is the official reseller for another company. How he even got involved with it no one has a clue.
Does anyone here know by chance who kraftwerks actually is? Does the name Oscar ring a bell? Maybe JRSC?
Kraftwerks is the new version of Jackson Racing and has been producing these for the mazda, honda, etc, for awhile.

It's not actually all that bad for only 4.3psi
Boost definitely needs to be higher tho to actually compare it to anything else. The stg 1 also isn't intercooled

Sounds like they were having issues with the mazda ECU not playing nice with tuning....Still, it's only 4psi...

I don't care what psi they are hitting...its not gonna get shit for power until Tom slaps his fat ass on it and tunes it...Tom would be able to make 5000 horsie powers out of it because he has the coolest crayons and has tuned millions of Focuseseses over his 17hrs of tuning Focuseseses...

anyway, thats what I've heard from reading his posts...

Because its a proven fact, you won't make crap for horsepower until Tom touches the tune...
