CleanGSR Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Ultimiate Racing's kit (which comes with greddy e-manage) is only 5500 and if someone charges you 2k for install, I hope they use a lubricant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B16A3 Del Sol Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think that a turbo is alot better than a Supercharger... i mean you have to change the pulleys for increase your boost on a Super, but on a turbo all you have to do is use a remote to increase or decrease your boost... but for a S2K i think i would go with a Blitz supercharger... i would never Turbo on a S2K that would just knock off all the balance that car has!

CleanGSR Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Do you think before you talk? Blitz doesn't make a supercharger for the S2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolLesHonda Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I like reading B16vtec's comments more and mroe everyday. More people are starting to see that I'm not the only butthead on here. People just make dumb as comments. Think before you speak, and if you are unsure, search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 i think spoon has recently done up a good s2000 they'd be the best place to ask. i think its a dedicated honda tuning company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Then they are screwing people over. Turbo Kit install is no more than 8 hours at a qualified shop. That means they are charging $250/hour. Seems a little steep to me, but maybe you're cool with that. Spoon S2000 is n/a and you'd have to sink some serious time and money to make the power that they are n/a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 +1. Spoon is bad ass though, no matter how you look at it. Wow, for that amount of money, they better do a lot more than install a turbo kit. Take your time and do it yourself. If you can't do it yourself, look around. Most palces will charge about 1,000.

InfinitePrelude Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 just check with honda tuning companies, tell them what your looking to do with your car an they'll give you the best advise i believe hks also had an interest in the s2000, but just look around both turbo's an supchargers will kill the engine but tuning companies can tell you which would work better with your car.

Good call, Spoon doesn't do FI.... you could get the same power as the Spoon prepped S2000 for probably about $7100, the turbo will yield more HP for a couple grand less. http://www.spoonsports.us/catalog/products/engineAssy.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90IntegraC1 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 My friend just got rid of his Comptech Supercharged RSX Type-S for his Sti (wrecked :( ) He also had exhaust, intake, K-pro tuning, and a full-race header...still only put down 230 to the crank...weak. Go with the turbo, comptech superchargers are weak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Doubt it only had 230 bhp, but ok. Was he running 2 psi ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 clubrsx.com has a bunch of rsx s running the comptech supercharger and hitting around 280whp. They are running around 13.4 qm. Don't ask me why, but the same power out of a turbo setup over there is running closer to a 13 flat or even high 12's. There are a lot n/a with very mild mods running mid to high 13's.

Togue Only! on the note of balance careful taking corners with the s2k cause its not a very forgiving car. if you start to understeer and ease of you'll go into a spin. the newer s2k don't have that so much though. so having a turbo can affect the handeling of this car.

CleanGSR Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Where are you getting your info. My dad's S2000 handles awesome (2001). Every other S2o00 I've heard of is the same way. They even say that it's hard to make an S2000 a good drift car because they handle so well, it's hard to break them loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 He had a 9 lb pulley on there, got it dynoed and put down, ok i underexaggerated, about 230 to the wheels...the 1/4 mile time on the dyno was 14.5 with AEM V2 intake, race header, Greddy evoII exhaust, and K-Pro engine management...I thought it was weak....slower than a stock SRT-4, uh oh.

90IntegraC1 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 yeah he's mad rich though...15K in damages. He was in front of me coming home form a restaurant and tried to take a 90 degree right turn in the rain at about 55. Spun out, hit a curb, bounced into a concrete wall while pulling the e-brake ( )...the 2 front tires were pointing in towards the car, shocks/struts stretched out like 5 times what they should be, and bumpers/lights/wheels are ruined. just in case you were wondering what happened. Haha he said he wants to get fornt and rear sway bars, lower it (?), and get Falken tires for extra grip....paranoid??? I think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
