Sorry guys, I am withdrawing from the NA dream.
I just returned Darton, Crower, and Supertech sponsorship offers.
To the rest of you intereted, I encourage you to shoot them an email and a formal proposal of how they can make money off of you. I hope you guys succeed.
I will be selling my S2 in about 1 year. A close friend of mine has my dream car, and we have agreed to pursue my purchase of it in exactly 1 year... So it would be foolish of me to drop that much money into the S2.
However, my car will still have:
AUT/K&N Intake
Proflow 66mm TB
Hondata Gasket
Toda Header
T1r 70r
Buddy club RS ECU w/ Vcon (AJ-R tuned)
Comptech Lightweight Flywheel, with 4.44 FG
So I will dyno with all of that. Hopefully in the 225whp range. Best of luck to all of you, and I will keep you all posted as well!!

Jakub - very correct in all you said...
Silver - I didnt get the ProFlow yet. But I have decided on the Spoon Spec Venturi (from AJ-R). It's 62 inner and 70 outer, but taper bored for the "venturi". He will do it to my TB this spring when he tunes the BC RS ECU.
And as I withdraw from the HP war, I will be selling/trading my T1r 70r for a JDM dual (quieter).

Very interesting. I just read all 12 pages and was quite amazed. Now i'm even kinda mad I bought a 60mm exhaust a week ago. I'll enjoy it for now. I just started putting things on my car after getting use to having my first rwd car. After reading this I can't really decide if I want the 4.56 gears or 4.77. I drive my S about 2 days a week, and i drive it hard. Its also I car i like to just chill in and go the speed limit but every now and then i take it to its limits to feel how powerful this car is. I know i'm getting a lightened flywheel, clutch, and maybe an intake but can't be for certain on that since I thought i would save up for FI, but reading this thread makes me wonder how powerful i can make this car without the FI. Later on I want to invest in the AEM EMS and i was told that I didn't need headers yet this thread makes me second guess. This is the fastest car i've ever driven, yet even been in. I've never had a ride in a turbo/supercharged car. I'm 20 and dont make alot of money to spend, but I do donate every penny I can towards my car whenever I can, even if its to my savings towards something big. I've learned alot from this thread, keep em comin!

We dont mean to make you second guess a header choice or FI.
FI will ALWAYS be cheaper and more powerful.
A header will only help if chosen wisely (hp=$$). Spoon, Js, Toda, and Amuse are the ones we are looking at (peak numbers). Mugen, Ricks, DC, etc wont do this.
Yeah, a 70mm exhaust is better, if you can handle the sound!
Good luck to you as well... You look to be in a dry place, so I also recommend the AEM V1/V2 for cheap hp.

Ahhh didn't know the ProFlow had the tapering. Oh well.
If I were going for bigger #s still I would go with the ProFlow perhaps, but I'm still going to let Ben go to town on my stock TB for the heck of it...
Louie - Im keeping the test pipe (but you got a Berks anyway) but I am going to substitute it with a Ztec single exhaust cap... Its in perfect condition as you know and has less than 200 miles... Im going with the T1r Sparrow I think... Ill give you dibs again, and should know this week when I can sell. Well, I'll be selling it mid Feb when I am home next (still original box, too), but Ill know the price and everything soon. Remember when you came by to see my shift knob (seriously guys, it was the shift knob) and you saw it still in the wrapper in my room? haha

i'll take....as long as i can get rid of my spoon N1.($600, for sale) the spoon has been great, it made good power(8rwhp) but i want MORE POWER, so i need the 70mm. plus, i am ricer so i want the big N1 cannister out back.
remember i am still trying for 230rwhp! i think 70mm and maybe this new megan racing header just might do it! 
rays: i have a ZTEC single if you want it, uh, 50 bucks. i never put it on. it came with my spoon pipe.
we can PM the $ talk, i know you always hook a louie up!

I didnt know you already had the single cap. Ben might approve of that - better ditch it!
Yeah, PM me or Ill PM you tomorrow.. My price basically depends on what the Sparrow goes for without a TP. I can sell my T1r anytime, because I wont drive for a while (jackstands - waiting for wheels, yada yada). My EX gaskets should be okay, too.

sounds good....if you see anyone that wants a spoon for 650shipped. i want that TIR so bad! i'll have to go back to stock exhaust i guess for a few days until the spoon is gone then i can bolt the power on.
do you think i'll have tune the VFAC again after the 70mm?
