[terantica]

A q for u gurus out there. Getting a bit tired of the lack of torque on my S2K & thinking of ditching it & buying a BM Z3 M. But a cluey guy at work suggested I should sc my S2K rather . Any advice?

I have a rought build thread here if you want something to read:

I know of atleast 3 other s/c S2000 owners here on OH, though, they all choose to lurk and rarely comment. Might be in your best interest to have a search from a year or so ago and see what you find

Otherwise, for forced S2k induction goodness, I'd recommend www.s2ki.com and check out the Forced Induction sub forum.

Thanx Mate. I'll check it out.
Value some opinions on the comp if anyone has a view

Yeh F20C behaves like the B-series unlike the torquey K-series.

Have you considered the bmw 135i? The interior is the same size as the 3series coupe.

how much does the supercharger cost

First things first, the SC won't give you low down torque.

For that you want a turbo. The Greddy kit will give you what you're looking for.

^ Best bang for buck IMO, just dont plan to upgrade.

Z3 is a bit old now... Z3 M - is that the M3 powered one? Was that even available? I think that's the M Coupe' .

Which Z3 ya after? My friend had a Z3 straight 6 cyclinder and that was fast! and heard the 4cyclinder version slow and crap... But manual convertible roof... and all the gadgets in there breaks down.

if u want torque, go get a datsun (nissan)

I owned a Z4 for 5yrs and just sold it recently

trust me...you need a very deep pocket to manintain an old Beemer

you need to be prepared for the issues with FI conversions.

I know a fews who have turbo'ed or SC their rides (s2000's included) and they have had heaps of reliability issues.

Their cars spent more time in the workshops than on the road. Im not talking backyard jobs, some have spent in the ballpark of about $10-15k.

i considered recently to turbo my car, but decided on a new watch instead.

I say dont bother with the SC or Turbo, go the 135i. Its an absolutly stunning car with the legs to show up many high end sports cars. Theres a bit of a waiting list however.Its worth some serious consideration.

Now you can go FI on an almost 10 year old car, which will have it benifits and fun, but also bugs, issues and its fair share of headaches and time off the road, Or a brand new BM that does 0-100 sub 5 secs with no problems that every P plater and his dog doesnt have.

If you got the funds go for it.
