Hi all. I been thinking about turboing my s2 for a while now. And its time to get a little deeper into it. Theres alotta bolt on turbo kits out there, but other then the bolt ons, what else needs to be done.. I had people say that the f20 runs high compression and adding a turbo will do ka-boomba to the motor..
So what needs to be done to run save with the turbo? Cheers
thicker head gasket to lower the comp maybe., and a good tune will always keep the engine alive for 100,000kms+
A good Heavy Duty Clutch is always a must have, so save cash for that if you haven't already upgraded your clutch. Stock clutch wont last long with the added boost. Like above ^^ good ecu and tuner will keep the f20 running safely.
Std engine, large fram turbo & low(ish) boost...
Genius level ECU & tuning is a must. (Do not settle for retard level in either case)
If you're shopping on price, don't bother, every cheap kit for the S2K is garbage.
You should see 320hp at the wheels @ 7psi.
Thick head gasket - No.... There's nothing on the market good enough.
Clutch, swap to twin plate.
Diff, swap to R200
& stay away from idiots who think they can
someone sounds like there over the world and its bullshit.....Quote:

Naa, just tired of treating people like silk worms & it's easier to just say it like it is. :pQuote:

leaving the comp standard will give better response off boost in any case, whereas lowering it can lead to your engine feeling gutless off boost
by getting a good ecu and an even better tune. Its all in the tune.Quote:
