Good luck with it all though :thumbsup:

That will be done at the workshop. Thats what we always do. Power run of before and after. Becoz watever a turbo kit says its all talk until u get it on the dyno. U'll have soo much more torque it'll feel like the wheels wanna rip off from the car. U'll love it mate. U wun get that lag and bogging down feeling like i get now when i take off from the lights.Quote:

just a question, if i was to go foward and turbo a s2k, can Toda supply all the parts for me? I have noticed that everyone that has done the turbo conversion on the s2k has purchased the turbo kits from the USA.
Because I dont feel comfortable in ordering a kit suited for a LHD s2k. Whats the best way to go about it from scratch, keeping in mind its a complete stocker s2k.
I understand your reservations. I took mine to Toda yesterday, by friday Adrian will have finished it so I will be able to tell you if he had any issues. The Rev Hard kit was the only one I could find that was custom made for the S2000. The main problem is that the steering column is where the manifold and turbo sit, Adrian took a look at the kit and said that "There may need to be a few minor mods but nothing that should be too difficult"Quote:

i think stock S2K is fast enough.. faster then S15 stock.. but turbo will be a nice but power to weight ratio will be farked :)
ok the manifold was actually touching the steering column and needs to be replaced, so don't buy a revhard kit cuz it don't fit!!
Does That Mean That You've Wasted Your Money?
Can Toda Do Anything With The Rev Hard Kit You Bought?
No it's not a waste of money, cuz most of the kit will fit. It just means that a custom made manifold has to be fitted so that the steering column is not compromised - just adding to the cost..Quote:

Aus2000 got a kit from the US that fitted without the need for any modifications, he got it from www.lovefab.com, but it's more expensive than mine, even after getting a new manifoldQuote:

Haha, you totalled your 12.9s S15 (not that fast by S15 standards by the way) and now want to get an S2000 and turbo it again when you get the license back? Great courage...!
The S2000 is a nice balanced piece of equipment, it is nimble and turns in well. The S15 in comparison is slightly rear biased for drifting and the extra torque from the turbo helps it drift.
I don't really think a Turboed or Supercharged S2000 is the way to go to be honest, like someone said the best mods to do are Exhausts, Tuning and Final Gear Ratio and possibly lightened flywheel. This would be in the 13's already.
But please drive safely on the road, I am in fear of my life sometimes driving on the streets.
The idiot who bought my modded then slightly demodded again S15 also happened to 'totalled' it within a few days of getting it off my hands - whereas I have been driving it for nearly 3 years without any accidents for a reason. Don't drive fast on the road.
