Turbo Charged S2000

[MR S2K]

Can anyone please help me?

I just bought a 2001 Honda S2000 and I want to get it turbocharged. I have never owned a turbo car or know exactly what set-up kit I need. Can someone please assist me on a good quality turbo kit I can use on my car, and the accessories that will have to go with it ..

Thanks Guys

Inlinepro makes a nice kit. You are still going to have to get an engine management system. There are a few out there but I think AEM is one of the best.

Stop for a minute and ask yourself a few questions. What is the purpose in getting a turbo? Do you know how the car reacts when you hit a corner really hot? Can you drive the twisities without losing either your lunch or the car? Do you really know how the car handles and what it can do? Do you want to spend money on a turbo, a drive line, a clutch, a differential? Do you know what will break first?
You haven't had the car long enough to even know what you have. Learn the damn car first, then go throw your money away. If you don't know where you started, how do you know when you get to where you want to go? (Personally, I really don't care how you spend your money, I am just offended that you want to ruin a perfectly good, well designed automobile in pursuit of some goal that you can't or haven't even defined because you don't have any idea of what you have)

There are a few turbo kits for the S these days. A search here might help some:

I'm really not ragging on you but you really need to go on some serious drives and then decide if you need to modify anything on the car. Last weekend we did the Monticello Mountain Romp in Charlottesville. The route covered mountain, two lane road and some (minor) bits of highway. There's no better way to discover the limits of the car (and yourself) than driving behind someone who has a bit more experience with the car. You'd be surprised what the car can do when you know it well...it's an amazing piece of craftsmanship. You're talking about modifying a car that you just bought. If you had wanted a muscle car, why not just buy a Mustang or Dodge RT? The difference between those cars and the S2000 is the difference between a sledge hammer and a rapier.

I disagree. The added low end torque that the turbo gives you makes the car much nicer to drive on the street. The power comes on very smooth and is easy to control. If you go to a large turbo and tune the car for big HP then you will have driveability issues and the power will be hard to control . I have a precision SC61 turbo and it starts boosting at 2,000RPM and is at full boost(7psi) at 4,000RPM. I am making 300HP at the wheels. This is the way this car should have come from the factory.

I agree, if the man wants more power thats on him. But as a warning if you are not very comfortable with the stewie i recomend you drive it a lil more before putting a turbo on it. Also do some research on the turbo that you decide to go with, their are some no- noes that you must learn so you dont turn a 5K+ kit into scrap. My suggestion woulb be to find someone that has a stock turbo car like a gti etc and drive it so atleast u understand the concept of a turbo and how it works. Oh also get a turbo timer!

Inlinepro is the kit to go with. i am pushing 412hp at the wheels(12psi) and driveability is great. of course my head has been ported and i have a few other goodies, but the car is great. my turbo cuts on at about 2800rpm and is full bosst at 4500. def go turbo with aem. just make sure you know who is tuning it

[SilverS2K422]

Yea i heard inline is a good kit, i want to turbo mine but i heard supercharger is less stress on the engine.

[appleade280]

turbos have more power though

turbo...........sweet

Man...where's Frontline to get all over this guy and piss in his Cheerios?? LOL

I agree with KG but with less harshness. I think getting the car and going to a racing school to learn how to drive it first and THEN throw your money into whatever you want is the best way to go.

Just my .02. Bottom line: Enjoy the car whichever way you want!

If you dont care what he does with his money, then you shouldnt give your opinion. I agree that he gets to know what he drives, but as far as modifying his own car, i believe is his name on the tittle and not yours. Dont be offended because i dont think you are the designer, the engineer and the car deffinitely doesnt have your name as an emblem. Next time keep your mouth shut and dont talk about modifying a car because for what you said on your comment, you dont know or even have a clue of what owning a moddified import means.

Hey Dude do you even own an S2K? And I don't mean Dad's. Furthermore We here are trying to help him learn about the car before he goes and spends alot of money on mods to wrap it around a pole. I have owned and driven many fast cars and the S2K I own is a whole new game when it comes to driving it. So before you start SLAMMIN members here maybe you should put your MODDED where your MOUTH is, I game for a track day.

Mr. i dont own an s2k. Ap2 turbocharged, it was dynoed at 425whp last august, 91 300zx twin turbo dynoed at 517whp. I am gonna drive both of my cars right up your.... and I would love to see how my S will suck the pain out of whatever you drive anywhere and anyday. Trying to help someone is responding for what a member in the forum is asking for , not by giving smarta... opinions. So next time get your facts straight before you talk to someone without knowing what they drive.
