S2000 To Turbocharge or Not?

**stevharr** · 01-12-2005 08:33 AM

I am interested to know if anyone has any experience, or has heard of anyone that has turbochrged their s2000. I have aquired (although not paid for yet) a "rev hard" kit from the US on ebay. Since committing to buy, I have started to have reservations. Firstly because the kit is for LHD and will need the piping modifying to fit (at least thats all the seller "thinks" is all that will need changing), secondly because Honda refused point blank to make the modification for me

try rick damelians.
they have done a sueprcharger kit on a nsx before, and that kit was from the U.S.
it may of been a one off thing though.
but give them a try.

lol, a person on this website has turboed his s2000 before, and its very fast!!
it runs 12.2 down the 1/4 mile...
9000rpm and turbo is awesome

ok good, that's what we like

Question is now, where should I get it fitted and can I be confident that the kit will fit a RHD? The kit is costing $4000 US and an extra $450 to ship to OZ, so I'll be mighty upset if it ends up in the skip!

everything SHOULD fit fine, as far as i know that the layout is the same.. besides a few thigns here and there.
if somethigns don't fit, i should be only minor, and shouldn't be too hard for the installer to work around it.
you should get a performance workshop to do it, as they probably could figure somethign out if somethign doesn't fit properly.

can anyone recommend anywhere, and how much would it cost (to the nearest $500)? I'd prefer to pay more and get a good job done, than be a tight arse and have my engine explode in my face at 9000 rpm
