S2000 To Turbocharge or Not?

Why?

Anyone who has an S2000 already knows that first hand.

GreddyKit on Ebay US $800US with all the goodies & will ship internationally:

Awesome! Except that manifold won't fit an S2000. I believe it is a B18 manifold.

This kit has been posted previously and I expect is a scam.

Oh, and Greddy don't make a kit for the S2000.

yea turbo it

You're a bit late to the party. Steve has bought the kit, gone through the saga of having it modified to fit, driven it, and been so shocked by the performance he had to head off to England for a holiday.

I'm finally back five weeks on. All I could think about while I was lying on the beach in Belize was getting back and driving the S again. I did take some pictures and some MPEGS but I couldn't get them to upload to the website before I had to fly to Blighty. So I'll see if I have better luck this time.

Yes, I am very pleased with the results of Adrian and his team's work. Although the stock exhaust system is limiting the power, the improvement in performance is still awesome.
I quite like the fact that keeping the stock exhaust means that the car looks and sounds like a stock S until it goes into boost, which means i can drive around Sydney without attracting attention from Nissan street racers or the Cops. It also means that another 30kw is available just by changing some piping.

I emailed Adrian for a quote to upgrade the exhaust system and retune yesterday.

LOL, that didn't take long.
