gavin_t 184 Report post Posted June 25, 2018 Anyone running one of these? Seems to be not too much information about on them within the UK. I am familiar with the power and drive of this type of supercharger from having a drive of a mates Mx5 with a similar setup. But was wondering what the consensus was on the reliability side of things and suitability on a stock motor? Ta very much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted June 25, 2018 Not many people fitted the Litchfield kit. The best comparison is the base Jackson Racing or Kraftwerks kits from the US as they use the same blower and similar setup. 1 gavin_t reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Litchfield aren't big into the GT86 and whilst like other companies they have offered a supercharger kit, they didn't sell many at all it seems. That doesn't mean that the kit is necessarily bad, but won't you find data on reliability etcetera with so few having been fitted. There are many more kits out there that are far more popular. 1 gavin_t reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_t 184 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 Cheers I think it is the lack of data that is putting me off. Was dead set on a TD NA package and then going from there in the future if I felt I wanted more. But then spotted this kit in the for sale section the other day. Did a search of the current owners posts and it seems they have had two engines let go on them. One for sure running this kit. Simular usage to what I would be planning so maybe worth swerving and playing it safe with an NA tune... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alucardo 55 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 If you like to push very hard on track for 20-30 minute stints I would stay NA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 26, 2018 NA tune makes a big difference. If I was going supercharger, I think the Cosworth setup would be the one. I do like the HKS in terms of how it drives but there has been a few issues with them. 1 gavin_t reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_t 184 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Maybe I should just go NA tune then, save money and less risk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
