Default Ultimate-Racing turbo kit???

S2000 turbo kit
Hello fellow members,

I would like to formally introduce ourselves at Ultimate Racing to Honda-Acura.net. We recently acquired a silver 2002 S2000 which is our third project car. Currently, we offer cold air intakes and a 2.5" cat back stainless steel exhaust system which includes a high flow catalytic converter.

Our turbo kit is approximately 90% completed and should be available by mid December. All the hardware is complete and the tuning process is almost finalized. To view one of our protype cars, please visit our temporary picture gallery at http://www.picturetrail.com/ by logging onto "ultimate-racing".

Dyno results of our S2000 turbo car can be viewed in the 'dyno chart' album from picture trail as well. In addition, we will send our turbo equipped car to be emission tested in Toronto, Canada. Please note, once the test is complete, the results are for Canada only since some states may have different emission requirements. The kit will be completely bolt-on and supplied with detailed step by step instructions (including illustrations) for competent do-it-yourselfers. In addition, the installation manual will be available on our revised website (the updated website will be online in the next couple of weeks) at http://www.ultimate-racing.com/

Here is what our turbo kit will include:

-Custom heavy gauge mild steel exhaust manifold with heat shield
-HKS external wastegate
-Garrett TO4E turbocharger
-Custom 2.5" stainless steel (SS) downpipe
-Large front mount intercooler kit with 2.5" polished SS piping
-Custom 3" polished SS air intake pipe with high performance K&N filter
-HKS Super Sequential Valve (SSQV) with mounting flange
-High flowing 440cc injectors
-Pre-programmed Greddy E-Manage piggy-back computer system
-Oil filter re-location kit

NOTE: No other factory parts will have to be removed or modified other than what is replaced by the kit.

The price for this kit will be approximately $5500 usd, or $8800 cdn. Approximate pricing for our 2.5" SS cat back exhaust system (twin mufflers) is $850 usd or $1350 cdn and a bolt-on SS high flow catalytic converter is $240 usd or $375 cdn. Once the kit is completed, we will release the final pricing schedule for all parts. Custom applications (ie. 3" exhaust, single tipped exhaust, etc) are available upon request including the turbo kit.

If you have any questions or inquiries, please feel free to contact us at sales@ultimate-racing.com or visit our soon to be revised website which should be completed within the next two weeks at www.ultimate-racing.com

We look forward to getting to know you all better.

Could be a small turbo. Looks like it spools up nice down low and then falls off a bit.

7 psi and US$5500 gets you 70 rwhp?!

Awesome... finally an s2000 turbo that seems to have an acceptable fuel management/timing solution...

I wonder if they retarded timing a bit too much or something? A turbo should be able to provide more than that. Heck, a parasitic SC provides more than that!

Anyway, I don't think that too small a turbo is a problem, they're using a T4. I was going to use a Garrett T3040 in my setup. If a T4 is too small, the T3040 will definitely be.

Ahh, I see, its a T3/T04 'E'. Not the worlds greatest top end charge, but it does spool pretty quickly down low. Perhaps the e-manage wasn't tuned for maximum power.

Hey UL, can you please explain to me what the "E" designation means?

I've been going through a lot of pressure ratios and CFM calculations, digging through Compressor maps (which totally went over my head) and things like that with the help of some other friends, and our conclusion was that the T3/4 would be perfect for 8psi on the S2000, but that a pure T4 would be necessary for 12 psi or higher.

Never in our conversations did an "E" designation come into it. What is it about the designation that makes it spool faster, but lower the top end charge?

I'm giving this a shot. The "E" designates electric turbo, my impression from what UL stated. Since electric turbos are known to spool up quicker. There were downsides of electric turbos crap construction, disintegration, boosts less than exhaust turbo, I heard they came from boats.
