LAS VEGAS, Oscar Jackson, founder of Jackson Racing, has joined forces with David Hsu, founder of Group-A Autosports / Skunk2 Racing, and technology entrepreneur Christopher Jenkins to create a new company called KraftWerks Performance Group, LLC. KraftWerks designs and manufactures Rotrex-based supercharger kits for import vehicles and domestic and import motorcycles. The KraftWerks kits have shown gains in excess of 100% across the entire powerband and represent the pinnacle in forced air induction.
At the core of each KraftWerks kit is a patented Rotrex traction drive supercharger, capable of 200,000 RPM. The proprietary design allows the Rotrex supercharger to be lighter, smaller, quieter, cooler, and run higher rpms than all other competing supercharges, and results in superior efficiency, reduced emissions, and improved transient response. Oscar Jackson explains, "We will be developing a series of kits, from CARB legal to full race, that offer a broader, more usable power than anything on the market. A broad power band makes for a better street and race car and demonstrates the superiority of the Rotrex design." KraftWerks Performance Group launches the company with kits for the Honda Fit and the Honda S2000, and will be designing kits for a variety of vehicles ranging from Honda to Lamborghini. KraftWerks will be displaying a 400 hp + / 280 lb-ft + (at the wheels) Rotrex-based Honda S2000 and a 225 hp (at the wheels) Rotrex-based Honda Fit at SEMA in the Honda booth. From Honda's booth, David Hsu adds, "Skunk2 Racing [a Group-A company] and Oscar Jackson are famous for making Honda vehicles run even better and faster, so it is appropriate we launch KraftWerks with the Honda Fit and S2000."
