I know the basics man.. I can get a couple of cousins to help out with the turbo install and all. But the s2000 specific part is where things can go wrong really. I was looking at this copper head gasket:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:en

That will lower compression, enough for me to run about 10-15psi, which i prob wont go ever. Im planning to stay under 12. Im not after making a total drag car, i just want the feel of a turbo, along with vtec. Maybe ill call it V-urtec, or Vurbo. But yea.

This is what you had:

- FMIC + piping kit (make sure it's the t-bolt clamp style clamps) - ~$450 del
- Oil Re-location kit - ~$50 del
- Turbo line kit - ~$50 del
- BOV - ~$60 del
- Manifold (Cast) - ~$300 del
- Intake pipe - ~$25 del
- FPR - ~$40 del
- Wastegate (Would use but won't expect to last.. But I know many many people who use ebay gates with slight mod and works up until this day w/o problems) - ~$50 del

Another bunch of greenies:

- E-manage/AEM - ~$700ish
- Injectors - ~$250ish (>450CC+)
- Fuel pump - ~$50-$200ish (OEM Nissan pump vs Bosch/Walboro)
- Snail - ~$100-$900ish (OEM Nissan vs Branded)


As im not going to be running ridicoulus boost, i can get a garret with m27 housing with internal wastegate. Ill get china BOV intercooler piping + FMIC and turbo and oil lines, manifold from Liverpool exhaust i guess. With the FPR, is it really neccesary? I think ill pass most, if not all 'Greenies' until more funding.. LOL. Im gettin asian turbo kit for reason man.. $$$

What ya reckon zhong?

Do it and see! I woudln't bother with making up a manifold, just get one of them cast ones from ebay.. They look alright and are usually stronger than SS anyway, + it's cheap!

You'd be suprised with what parts that are re-branded are made by asian hands... lol

[VeYzZii]

I cant just 'do it'. What if i blow something? Im not worries about turbo blowing, something more serious engine wise. Head, cylinder, piston. So many people are telling me i have to get stronger pistons, low compression pistons, and cylinder and all this other stuff. DO i need them?

[ludecrs]

People don't know what they are talking about.

The motor will take 14 pound all day every day if taken care of, turbo or otherwise. Just do it.

Im thinking of getting engine rebuilt prior...? The car is getting flatter and flatter, it almost feels like its gonna fail sometimes. I miss the original clean and fresh sound.

so your gonna fork out for a rebuild but go cheap on a turbo kit

Yer was about to say the same thing.

Also VeYzZiI you can't just put on a turbo kit and expect it work, you said that your not gonna bother on the "greenies". You can run a turbo kit off stock injectors and no aftermarket ECU. Well you could but it would shit itself. Not trying to sound rude but a bit more research is needed.

As zhong said get the ebay kit and use bits and pieces. Like the FMIC, piping, clamps, lines etc. You said you know liverpool exhausts so thats a massive advantage to getting an awesome exhaust and manifold made up which ebay kit one is shit. Turbo, get a nice piece of gear, not really sure what would be suited for the s2000, but a gt3071r or something similar usually does well on most 4 cylinder engines.

And most importantly get it tuned properly and running safe. Its all the tuner and how well everything is sorted, coz what will cause an engine to go 'bang' is messed air flow ratios, which would cause the car to run lean.

So yer it isn't too difficult or confusing just dont cheap out on the right things.

Best of luck!

has any one told you that you will also need a clutch preferably one better then just a HD clutch also the Diffs are the weakest link in the drivline so it will be a matter of time b4 that blows then ull be lookin at doing a nissan r200 diff conversion or installing a puddymod diff (puddymod diffs are on s2ki.com)
and depending on how u drive ur gearbox will eventually blow up too...
inline pro in america make an R200 conversion kit and thats US$3400 not including a diff :O
theres one in sydney that runs 10.75 quarters its got a $5000+ triple plate clutch, $10000 PPG DOG Gearbox, and a $6000+ diff technics rear end set up
as much as the s2k is a nice car they wernt made to be force fed unless u have deep pockets...

good luck with ur project i hope all goes well for u

Cheers man. I was gonna go cheap on turbo dont mean i wasnt gonna tune it or anything. As i said im pretty worried if something does go bang. hence why i said i would prob rebuild engine before going on proper boost. Research is what im doing here, there werent many write ups on turboed S2Ks.. So yea. Isnt the whole idea of 'bolt on' just to bolt it on? There was a bloke , as ludcrs posted, That simply bolted it on. Dont think he was running high boost or anything, but as far as i know he kept computer stock, not injectors though.. I Might just get some things sorted before boosting..? Maybe new motor mounts, low comp pist, thicker head gasket.. Things like that, and in time prob an AEM comp. WOuld those be enough, or is what AGE_s2000 said gonna happen... Mechanicals like the diff and gearbox going?

Everythings just gonna blow up huh.. Shit :P
Yea i realised. I dont mind spending money on the car man, but slowly..

There are always people who live with what Honda has blessed upon us, but there are also people who know what they are doing and talking about in that matter. Not trying to hate or anything, but it's the truth. You will always have that guy that says you will need this and need that, that drives a toyota echo, another guy who says you will blow everything up, because everything, does blow up when we all enter a supernova commonly known as a black hole. Put those people aside, and ask yourself what you really want from this.

If you want to turbo charge your car for that extra kick and extra looks on the street, fair enough go get an ebay kit, replace the right bits, talk to the right people, you'll be on your way. But if you want to turbocharge your car because you want to take it to the drags etc, it's another story all together. The more power you want, the less reliability you get, but power also works in ratio of 1:2 (moneyower). :P But remember, the harder your car gets pushed, the faster your bits are prone to failing.. Can never be prevented, but can be reduced dramatically.

In my opinion, the only things you need to do are the following, that would "allow" a safer running of a turbo charger on your stock F20C. I'm sure people who already have turbo-charged have their own opinions etc, but here's mine:

- Larger Injectors
- Reputable Turbo charger Unit (w/lines obviously)
- Reputable Waste gate Unit (if your not using an internally gated turbocharger)
- Boost gauge
- Oil temperature gauge
- Fuel Management System with Tune
- Larger Fuel Pump
- Front Mount Inter cooler System
- Turbo Manifold (Closer to OEM material the better, ie. Cast Iron)
- Obviously an intake pipe to hold your air filter

If taken care of properly, you can still run boost with your stock F20C without any problems, given that the initial install was a success (if your a DIYer). The compression is higher than most cars, but that's what makes this application so good. As long as you run safe boost levels and have your gear tuned properly you will not run into problems. I know, because I used to have a high-comp boost motor in my previous car. Been through all this lol

So stop b*tchin about what other people are saying, and go do it to prove all the haters wrong. If it fails, oh well. (jk)

Peace.
