HKS SC install on G auto sedan start tomorrow!

I want a reliable and hassle free FI solution and I have been looking into HKS SC and APS TT for a while. APS is still months away and don't know if it will fit sedan or not. After an extensive talk with HKS I felt what they said suit me so I decided to take the plunge.

The SC kit is specifically designed for G coupe ready to be annouced in February in US. According to them the G is quite different from the Z so their kit has been significantly modified. It has the same bracket and supercharger unit as the one for Z but with very different layout/design for air intake, piping, intercooler, oil cooler, etc.

I am very concerned with how it fits the sedan but they assure me that they will make it fit and work and if not I get my money back. Sound good to me. The Japanese technician will be here the day after tomorrow so I leave my car there and they install the kit tomorrow and then let the Japanese technician tune the car the next day. Kind of rush but work with me.

HKS kit is known for expensive and in my case it's no exception. But if the kit can live up to HKS reputation and I can sleep well with my 320+ rwhp daily driver then I will be very happy with it.

Generally most cars have been dynoing around 220 whp stock, with the 80 whp boost the supercharger gives without tuning im assuming ull be at around 305 whp at most. But I'm still interested in this kit as I need a daily driver 2 so let us know how it goes.

220 rwhp for G auto is about right and I have also read everywhere on different boards that HKS SC gives only +80 rwhp. But I think something is different here because when I talked with them they seemed to be more concerned about not make it over 350 rwhp (because of auto tranny) than worry about achieving +320 rwhp. I guess it has to do with the tuning and the fuel here (92, 95, and 98 rating). So the thing that really worry me is only whether it fits the sedan, which I believe is the tricky part.

Just got my base dyno: 214 rwhp, torque 230 lb-ft, dynojet. Besides tire & wheel, my car is basically stock except HKS sport muffler. Also, run into the first issue with sedan: the fan needs to be modified to fit. A after market fan with a HKS fan control will work. No big problem so far.
