I currently do not own a S2000. But I am wandering what I should save my money for when I do get one. I wanted to get comptech supercharger,intake,header, and exhaust. What other brands are there that are built for the Vtech. I was wandering will the 04-05 supercharger fit on an 07?
Any suggestions would be helpfull.

No, the '07 is drive by wire and the '04-'05 are not. The SC for the '06-'07 is almost $7,000. You might as well go with a turbo for that cost.

s2kman000 · 09-04-2007, 07:01 PM

lmao. no kiddin, i would spend 1500 on turbo and be faster then any supercharger, and put the rest in the bank for track days...haha, oh yea and maybe some new sets of rubber. one for drift one for daily driving.

s2000isu · 09-04-2007, 07:53 PM

You know there is more to turboing then just purchasing a turbo right? We told you yesterday ya couldnt build a turbo setup for 2 grand and now ya think ya can for 1500?

Don't know how this blog stuff runs, but I have a 2002 S2K with a vortechsupercharger. It gives great power but has a studdering problem at times. My instincts go with it being the Mass Air Flow Sensor but don't know for sure. If anyone can help me that would be great.

chazdawg35 · 09-05-2007, 03:34 PM

hey dude from hat i hear you have to get a stand alone computer or a controller.i bought a apexi afc neo to control the fuel system sensors.i plan on getting a supercharger but i was curious to see if i could get any HP just with this.

s2000isu · 09-05-2007, 04:05 PM

It's all in the tuning. (echo) Standalone is great if you go crazy on N/A or FI down the line, otherwise it's marginal for the amount you pay for basic bolt-ons. Running a NEO myself with I/H/TP/E on MY01, +14hp & +4tq.

I would need a better description of the symptoms to help you. Does it do it early in the morning, late in the day, under hard acceleration or soft, in all gears, does it do it a lot or just a couple times, etc.

chazdawg35 · 09-05-2007, 07:58 PM

so what is 1st. bolt on?

gomarlins3 · 09-05-2007, 08:00 PM

IMO, best bang for the buck is gears.

yapp!

chazdawg35 · 09-06-2007, 04:12 PM

well how much and what brand? if you don't mind me asking!

S2KL33N · 09-06-2007, 04:54 PM

I recommend doing a search on other S2000 forums, especially S2KI to read up more on modifications and final gears.

Richmond Gears, Motorklasse, Isuzu OEM for starters...

Otherwise, bolt-ons depends on how deep your pocket is and where you're going with...

Just research, your project car will be a reflection of you.

s2kman000 · 09-06-2007, 07:58 PM

HEY S2000ISU wanna make a bet that i can make my ownt turbo kit for 1500? ill send you pics soon, ive already done it so i can back my ****. lol and you were the one too say.. "if a tuner knows what he is doing, then he can gain hp"?.....cough ....thank you

s2000isu · 09-06-2007, 08:49 PM

Youre all over the place. One post you are going turbo the next post you are turbo the next post youre building one for 2 grand the next post you can build one for 1500. Either youre making stories up and cant keep the same story from minute to minute or you have a problem with your tenses.

I already said if you build a turbo setup with either a used turbo or one of the xs power turbos that lasts 2 weeks some dsm injectors the cheapest manifold on ebay a v-afc you might be able to turbo it. Itll only last for a few weeks but you will have shown me. You really need to go standalone for tuning and the cheapest route there is a mega squirt.

gomarlins3 · 09-07-2007, 09:11 AM

I am very interested in the turbo build as well. Please keep us advised as to the money spent (receipt pictures), dyno results (pics of the dyno sheet) and drivability (video).

chazdawg35 · 09-15-2007, 06:03 PM

HEY GUYS THANX FOR THE INFO ON THE GEARS.BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SET THIS APEXI NEO CONTROLLER?I CALLED THEM (APEXI TECH) AND THE GUY SAID HE WASN'T SURE TO TAKE IT TO SOMEONE THAT HAD A DYNO AND KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF I MADE A MISTAKE BUYING THIS THING.

And a turbo (I love turbos), by the time you buy the parts, pay for the fabrication and tuning and strengthen the drive train, because when you have it your going to use it. Will cost between $8k-$15k.

Equal amounts of boost (apples to apples), you don't need to strengthen the drive line. Thus the cost would be about the same. If you go with a higher boost than the SC systems put out, then yes, you will spend more on the diff, clutch, etc.
