I have a quote from Toda Racing for doing the work and have also spoken to Adrian. All I need to do now is find out how long I'll be without the car and then I will arrange to bring it in to your workshop.

You can't just slap on a turbo and assume it will go well. It is a very very hard car to tune and modify as it only comes good with the right mods and parts combinations. Just come down for a chat and you can get a very good idea of what we can do for u. I myself am making mine a N/A beast and i will soon post up dyno charts and news of wat a F20C can do when it is modified correctly with the right parts and handwork.
Hope u find the info u need and good luck with ur project.

The only US made kit I know that fits RHD is the LoveFab V1 kit. How do I know? I have one.

You were right, Adrian called me yesterday to give me the bad news :( The manifold has to be replaced. Unfortunately by the time I saw your post I'd already paid for the kit. At least once the manifold and down piping has been sorted out it should be plain sailing.

Sorry...

Just so you know, there is a fairly active forum on S2000s over at http://au.s2ki.com.

And several of us are FI.

I've just spoken to Adrian and replacing the manifold will solve all of the problems, the downpipe is ok, so an inconvenience, but the project will be completed.

I'm surprised the downpipe is OK. That would lead me to believe the turbo will be mounted in the same position and only the manifold changed. I would have thought both the manifold and turbo would interfere with the steering shaft.

What is that supposed to mean?? I work at TODA Racing?? Have we done something in the past to make u unhappy?

If you ask everyone who has been in the shop Adrian does good work and treats ppl very well if he is treated well himself. Hope there is not a mis-understanding?

Anwayz.... Steve's car is looking good and I was working on it today a little. Will be good when finished.

I'm guessing this will be too late once again but.....

This is basically the same manifold I'm using.
