Perhaps you could start a thread saying what it is you are trying to achieve and what issues you have and I'll see if I can't answer the odd question.
have a thorough read of this BEFORE YOU TURBOCHARGE

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.
yeh thats true and it was a biatch to get it working but all's well that ends well... better to get a kit that is actually for the ozzie version.. the pipes were the wrong way around and the turbo sat too low... but its all good now due to the excellent work from TODA Racing Australia.. sorry free plug there..Quote:

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.Quote:

hahaha.. yeh i know how u feel Steve.. its called S2K withdrawl symtoms.. i start gettin them after i park the car... hahahaQuote:

have fun and take care of her... she is a beauty...

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

Although my turbo isn't at full boost until about 4900 you can hear and feel it start to pull almost instantly.Quote:

Everyday driving is exactly as it was before, so unless I told you the car was boosted you would never be able to tell. Fuel economy hasn't really changed, when driving around town. Driving to work I don't go into full boost any more often than I did VTEC. Boost is for the track, driving along scenic empty roads and any other time that takes my fancy.
It's there if I want it, and that's what I like.
Just for comparison (and to nudge Steve to the next step) I'm full boost by 3500 and power climbs all the way to redline. This would be mostly because of the free flowing exhaust but also partly because of the ball bearing turbo.
My car doesn't feel stock anymore. I generally use a gear higher because the torque deficit is totally gone. Just feels like a bigger engine.
Fuel economy is directly dependent on the right clog. If I drive sensibly I get fairly stock mileage, but that is seldom the case. If i put my foot down I use fuel like it was 1980s price.
Ok I admit it, as soon as I get three bars on the temperature guage I'm in boost every opportunity I get !! :DQuote:

LOL. You wouldn't regret it trust me.. and you can always reverse the process if you wanna sell it stock. I don't know why I didn't do it years ago.Quote:

its good to hear that ur liking ur car.. makes us at TODA proud...
thanx mate...
I got the boost control working on mine too. So I'm up about 9psi now

just remember if ur going 2 do it, do it properly
Ummm, OK.
Whoever said that N/A is far sexier than turbo obviously hasn't driven a turbo'd S before. I drove AusS2000's turbobeast this morning (with him cowering in the passenger seat) and the thing is DANGEROUS! I'm now definately going the next step and fitting a free flowing exhaust system and retuning.
Going back to the original question all I can say is that the nicest people turbocharge their S2000s. :)
And they have the hottest mustard on the planet!! Sorry private joke there. On another matter, we're thinking about a run up to the Hunter in the not too distant future, so we can boost our egos by leaving you stock S2000 boys in a cloud of tyre smoke :cool: Anyone interested?Quote:

I think this has gone for long enough.
