- This was one of the most fun projects I've done to a car. huge shout out to Vor for trusting me with this install. This was more of a cinematic install video. Not so much a step by step process. This was the Kraftwerks Supercharger Kit made for the 9thgen Civic Si. This install was done entirely in my garage/driveway with nothing but some basic hand tools, impact guns and a jack and jack stands. The inspiration for this video if you couldn't already tell came from Mighty Car Mods. They are what got me into the car scene as well as what motivated me to start making videos so to them I say, thank you! As always thanks to each and every one of you who subscribe and come back to watch my videos. I know it;s been a while since my last upload but don't worry there is so much more to come. I will release an update video in the following days to announce my 100 subscriber giveaway so definitely stay tuned for that!
All music is purchased from iTunes and composed by Moog from Mighty Car Mods.

Can’t wait until I’m boosted. Nothing like that first start and the feeling of accomplishment when you hear the engine run for the first time man.
Yeah man. You could tell my excitement when the car turned over and stayed on haha
Just threw one in my 8th Gen....not even done tuning yet and the this is already a blast 😎 he'll enjoy this kit for sure. Keep the videos coming man!
Yeah man I can imagine. Definitely gunna be a future project of mine 😏
what kit are you going to go with? I'm torn between the two! KW and CT.
I just got my kw kit 🤙🏽
Aaron Shirzadi how much you get it for?
A steal haha
I love the mighty car mods music! Hope you enjoy the new found hp.
How long did the install take?? Looks easy af compared to turbo
I wish he could show step by step. It look very easy.
Awesome video.. can't wait for more. keep up the good work 👌🏻
Thank you! Appreciate the support 🙏🏽
Ah man, that air filter looked gnarly
Thanks for ur time and showing us
My pleasure my friend 🤙🏽
Show us what?
Excited to boost my 08 TL.. Great work here man!
Thanks bro! Appreciate the support 🙏🏽 Definitely a fun project for sure and the results are just... 👌🏽
Hows your car doing man?? Are you still boosted? Would you recommend as a Daily?
Hey wasup brother i live in new york aswell just bought my supercharger kit how much will u charge me to connect it
Nice video man wish I can get mine super charged heheh
This video motivated me to install one
Cant wait for the step by step keep them coming 👌
Thanks man! It's definitely tedious trying to get it all together but I appreciate the feedback 🤙🏽
5:40 my boy so excited for that install that he wet his pants
Where do you put the power steering pump cuz it looks like it needs to be moved for the supercharger. I was wondering how it's going to fit on my car because the power steering pump is right in the way. Where did you replace yours to or did you just take it off?
Why would you show stupid useless clips like tightening the hood latch and for some reason completely skip over installing the actual super charger? This literally makes no sense. Did you think to your self, here's how you make a super charger installation video that will crush it on the views. Step one, show clips removing stock OEM parts. Step two, delete all clips that show any of the actual installation of the super charger kit, asides from the labor intensive process of connecting a pipe to the newly installed intercooler. Step three, profit! No need in showing the stupid stuff, like attaching the custom intake manifold, connecting the new belt assembly, or showing a single bolt being tightened on the new hardware. Great video bro, keep up the insightful content.
Yeah pretty useless video if you don’t have an idea on how to do this to begin with. In which case I wouldn’t recommend just jumping into it. Thanks for the pointers though. I’ll keep that in mind for my next video 👌🏽

Wish I had friends like y’all , that knew about cars and would be down to help me supercharge my 8th gen , good shit man !
Where you from?
Aaron Shirzadi I’m out here in California!
Oh damn lol. Well maybe next time I’m out there... haha
Find a local shop then pay for installation. Buy the parts yourself
@@edddy1022 what part I'm in sd
Great video! Hows the reliability over the years??
Really awesome.
Thanks man! Appreciate the support
What's the song? Great video by the way
Thanks! And the music was by Moog
I bought the same kit. 2015 si coupe. Kseries should be shipping next week. I'm nervous about installing it but stoked too. I can't find any install instructions online. Any suggestions? I got 1000cc grams injectors, fuel pump, hondata ready to go.
Props for DIY.
Thanks bro! I'm thinking about releasing a raw version of the install to explain the steps. I originally wanted to do a voice over but decided against it. Let me know if you all want me to release a "step by step" version of the footage to go over the process and the easiest way I found to go about it.
5:51 best sound!!!
Where was the information at?
Didn’t refer to any information. Just started taking it apart. Its really not that complicated of an install.
I’m 19 and thinking about doing this to my 2015 honda civic si… but damn I’m hella scare to take it apart 😂😭😭
Just do it. Make sure you have time to take it apart and put everything back together like a weekend or something. I was scared too when I started taking shit apart. Eventually tho you just learn 😂
Might just throw this on my 14 ILX
great video, also i see that you have to relocate the battery and delete the a/c compressor? im looking into this supercharger myself.
Hey my supercharger blower lockup on me twice already what can be causing that beside oil
What's the name of the song? Awesome video
Thanks man. The songs are Game On and Chasing Midnight by Moog
what bolt ons did you have on before sc kit and how’s maintenance with it work?
I pretty much had everything. Started with an exhaust, then cai. Then rbc swap and ended on the sc kit. And maintenance was the same as usual
Did we even see any of the KW kit getting fitted
Nope. That’s for another video 👍🏽 But do you really need a video to show you where the kit goes? If so, I suggest you have your kit put on by someone who knows where to put everything 😂
What's your thoughts on the csx 🤔
What was the thing under the rear seat? You took it out and emptied it? Was that something to do with fuel (you tuned it to a diff fuel oct)?
That’s the fuel pump. We removed the stock fuel pump and installed the pump required to support the tune/setup
Have you done any internals?
Negative
To relocate battery u used stock battery tray?
No you need a relocate tray. I originally had the skunk2 but it rotted out on me and snapped. Go acuity 💪🏽
thanks bro
Hey man random question, I was just wondering what kinda glasses you have lmao they're dope
Ray ban clubmasters but they suck lol
You didn't add the part where you take the tranny mount off for the batt tray, where is the kw oil filter? Left out a whole bunch of stuff.
This was just the "cinematic" edit I did of the install. I have hours of footage I'm going through and will do a step by step explanation of what was done but that is going to take some time to put together and will be a lot lengthier than 7 minutes. Keep an eye on the channel for that video though. Also I stated in the description that this wasn't a step by step guide. Also I have done battery relocate videos and explained the tranny needing support. Feel free to check that video out. I'll update the description with a link to it so all the other people viewing this can check it out. Thanks for the support and feedback though👍
You owe your homies some money or a beer lol
nice video man, wuts ur numbers to the wheel
This wasn’t my car but I have the same setup with a tune on mine. I’d say mid 3s
Do you need any additional parts before installing? Like stuff that doesn’t come with the kit
I’m not sure. We got the kit from a buddy used. It had everything we needed. If you buy the kit new from kraftwerks it should be complete but you may need injectors and a fuel pump. Also a 4bar map sensor
How’s this holding up?
Car ran great. I’ve since sold it but the kit went to a buddy of mine and everything has been good for him so far. Definitely the best set up for a fun street car/ daily imo
Thanks, just ordered my kit tonight!
Nice video bro how much u think for a installation like this cost
About 2k
If you take it to shop they'll tune it too.
does it push u really nice back into ur seat !
It does indeed 🤙🏽
you should do more on youtube mane. You've got potential! Sweet 9th Gen \m/\m/ #SInation
Thanks man. I appreciate that. And I plan on doing some more videos shortly. Just started a new job a few months ago and finally getting settled in so I’m definitely gunna dust off the laptop and camera and start putting out some new content for all of you. I appreciate everyone’s patience and feedback 🤙🏽
Fucking prime the gas line dude.
We did. Trust me. We ended up having to pull the fuel pump again because an o ring wasn’t seated properly. That clip was just to show initial start. But thanks for the support dude! 😂
@@AaronShirzadi_mar5hal I was like damn dude thats hurting me watching it hahaha. I wasn't trying to be an ass I type how I talk and I always forgot it sounds like I'm an asshole.
I'm doing my super charger this thursday can you dm me on Facebook or something so I can ask you a few question
No worries bro 🤙🏽
Trying to sell the supercharger?
Did anyone else see coolant spill out of his intake manifold?
How much hsp you push w that
How did you do the GRAMS 1,000 CC install? I’m currently installing the Supercharger and the clips don’t match to the factory fuel rail
you have to solder the wire
Would this work for my 08 civic si????????
The install process is very similar yes
What map from the flash pro did you run on this?
Didn’t have a map. Had an e tune. Your best bet is calling kraftwerks and asking them to email you a basemap. They should send you one no problem but keep in mind that’s only to get your vehicle to the dyno to have it tuned properly
Bro who u buy the kit from, and how much did it cost u?
Trying to boost my rsx
I bought it second hand on marketplace for my car. My buddy originally had the kit that we installed on this red civic brand new. You can get them online or check market place. Just be mindful purchasing second hand
Ive never installed supercharger or turbo kit. All my cars have either been a honda or subaru/mazdaspeed and came turbo. In your opinion which is better and which is less maintenance? My Si only sees the road in spring and summer.
When it comes to the Si you hands down will get more power with a turbo but with that (in my opinion) comes a higher possibility of things going wrong wether they be minor or major. Don’t get me wrong I have silly little things happen with my sc kit that left me on the side of the road for an hour pulling things off and replacing shit but with a turbo setup there’s just a larger margin for error if that makes sense. For a good fun reliable daily the kw setup with the 110 pulley and a time for pump gas is alright by me 🤙🏽
Aaron Shirzadi appreciate the reply, before uour reply I was leaning toward s.c. from your channel i see you knoq some guys with 9th gens. Im selling my invidia q300(1200 miles on it) and full race catted d.p if you know anyone interested. remember you saying you were in NY, im in CT
I’ll ask around. Might switch from my n1 to either the full race or q300
Aaron Shirzadi I wanted the 3 inch exhaust and catless d.p so I just ordered them. If you want the q300 and if you have parts for trade lmk!
What kind of parts are you looking for?
Great work! A few questions: How difficult would you say the install was on a scale of 1-10? How long did it take from start to finish? What was that you took out from under the back seats?
Thank you! And I'm new to working on cars but I've learned quite a few things. The most important one is having the right tools for the job. The process took about 12 hours spread out over 3 days being that we were waiting on miscellaneous parts/tools. And the fuel pump is what was removed from under the back seats. On the set up and tune my buddy had he upgraded to a new fuel pump to work better with his larger injectors. The install wasn't very hard if you've worked on cars before and are familiar with removing the stock intake and intake manifold and are able to relocate the battery. I'm trying to get a step by step guide together for everyone but it's a lot of footage to edit lol.
Aaron Shirzadi I understand! Great video either way. Keep it up man!
The fuel pump.
What fuel pump upgrade do you have?
What's up bro, nice video man. I just got my KW and noticed your intake. Where did you get it ?
Thanks bro! Appreciate the support 🤙🏽 And this is my buddies kit. He bought it from a friend of ours and it came with it. I'll ask him about it and respond back
Aaron Shirzadi thank you :)
how many mile you have on the car when you installed it?
how did you get it to the tune shop? u have a base map for it?
MCM music?
Yessir!
What are your wheel specs?
This isn't my car but I know there 17s. I'll see if I can get the exact spec for you.
✌🏻😎
Clean the bugs off of your car before you spend 30 seconds of B roll walking around it in the sun lol
Do you still have AC, fog lights?
Yes. All factory components were kept other than the stock tensioner and idler pulley. Obviously the intake manifold, spark plugs, injectors and fuel pump were replaced but we lost nothing as far as ac or lights or anything else for that matter. Maybe a little fuel efficiency 😂
I came here to see drake
Started from the bottom now I'm here.
Stop watching music sucks
Damn lol. I wanted to use music by moog since mcm was what got me into working on cars to begin with. Try muting it then watch it again 😅
this video was pointless to my use
