VR17 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 is there a turbo kit out there for the S2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Nope, compression is too high. Crower is custom making titanium connecting rods for mine, and still waiting for word from JE about lc pistons. I'm using all HKS components, a 6-core intercooler, SSQV blow off valve, and GT2510 turbocharger.......vroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Ummmmmm yeah there are a couple of turbo kits out there for the S2000. It is true the compression is very high on those cars but there are a couple turboed S2k's running around. www.ultimate-racing.com They have the cheepest complete kit out for the S2000 today. Around 5 grand, and projected numbers for it are around 300 hp to the wheels and doing the quarter mile in mid 12's. The biggest thing to worry about on those cars is the rear end. I have said it before and will say it again, it is weaker than an old woman in bed. It will wanna break with more power, so no dropping the clutch, alot of slipping.

..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Hmmm.... never seen them before. I'm kind of skeptical about things I haven't heard of. JE agreed to make lc pistons for my S2000, so those along with my Crower rods should let me boost it up to around 400-415 at the wheels. I'll make a topic of all of the parts I'm getting once I get home from my grandmas. EDIT... But still 300 at the wheels isn't anything new. You can get 300 at the wheels using the Comptech supercharger. Either way of f/i you choose doesn't matter until you build the bottom end (excluding lag, heat, and the power loss you get with a s/c).

WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 See the thing with the Comptech or the Vortech superchargers is that hey don't start buliding boost until 6 grand, when VTEC pokes out its little head. The fastest time ran with a Comptech or a Vortech charger off the top of my head I believe was a 13.1. Not to quick for the 5 or 6 grand you are throwing down for the thing. With theses turbo kits you are in the 12's easy and the boost starts building around 3 or 4 grand. Alot sooner than the charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine that, but with a HKS GT2510 (GT is the ball bearing series for HKS) turbo that is putting out 100 more horsepower, plus, well, I'll post my list later like I said.

WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 So are you rethinking the turbo idea then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 No, I already have my setup thought out...... HKS GT2510 hairdryer HKS 6-core intercooler HKS SSQV bov HKS bc and tt HKS SMF filter HKS turbo flange I had thought about the Comptech s/c, but they are too played out, and I want THE fastest street legal (yep, no nitrous) S2000 in the country that is privately owned (so if some company, say..... Top Secret makes an S2000 faster than mine, they can read my little quote thingy and follow directions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 whats the compression ratio for the S2000 anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 12:1 compression ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 12.1 + 15-20 psi = BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Most of the turbo S2k's run about 7 PSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 honda turbo boost dont really go that high, my cousin hatch runs high-mid 10s and hes only using 10psi boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I'm going to run 7psi for daily driving, 15psi when racing, and maybe 20psi when racing the "supercars" and going for low e/t's on my timeslips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 What rods and pistons are you gonna go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Crower is going to make some titanium rods for me, they said it will take about 10 weeks to do, and run about 440 a rod. JE and I are in talks right now about lc pistons, so I don't know yet about the stats on them. I want to get the comp. lowered enough to boost 15psi, but too low to have to boost it that much just to make up the power loss from the lower cr.

VR17 Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 hmm i would go with the JE pistons, i think they work the best, yea those crowers would work fine too, i think not only titanium is strong but light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I'm still waiting to hear from JE again. How come there aren't any companies that make pistons for S2000s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 i think its cause not many people own a S2000 with a supercharger or turbo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Every single S2000 you see in a mag has the Comptech supercharger. They're just as played out as the Blitz kit for the Eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX Driver03 Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Not as played out as your mom. Sorry, haven't been on the forum for two days so I gotta give everyone a little flack to get it out of my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14Silvia Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 gt 2510... why such a small turbo, other s2000 kits run t04's which if i'm not mistaken is a lot bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The GT2510 is the smallest turbo HKS. I am using it for its quick spool up time (ball bearing so a little faster than a normal turbo). Its max output (300hp) would be more than I would need. The other turbokits may use a bigger turbo, but they can't turn the boost up without having to buy a new engine.

S14Silvia Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 why not a little bit bigger turbo (2540), and not as much boost. more boost doesnt always = more power. although i'm sure 15psi is well with in the efficiency range of the 2510, but with you building the engine up, i'd guess it could handle 15psi on a 2540 and have a higher hp output.
