hey,

im not a very turbo oriented. so i have a simple quetion for everyone.
what would be the best overall rated turbo kit that would have lots of potential power.

or if you have the time, build me an insane turbo setup with everything needed to easily boost 14-17 psi daily without blowing or damaging the motor.

dont worry about the pricing on anything cuz i just won a $10k jackpot and all of that money is going into my 2.2L. im really interested in biulding a beast. so please help me out here.

thanx for your time. all suggestions and hints are appreciated...

 

Any kit will be fine, just make sure you get the InlinePRO 3mm headgasket and an EMS and you can easily boost that daily.

InlinePRO for best customer service
LoveFab and Full Race for best power per psi

 

Search button? Ugh.

I boost 18 psi daily on my InlinePRO setup.

 

seriously this has been asked a million times. "which turbo kit is the 'best'?"

 

I hear good things about the inline kit.

 

^^ Don't mind those two - they are doing everything they can to turn S2Ki into Honda-Tech.com... making sure everything thread has at least once person who says either 'repost' or 'search button'.

Definition of 'the best kit' definitely comes does to your personal preference.

Initially in my S2000 I had wanted to work directly with Cody @ Lovefab. Upon release of his kit their was a very large demand - many individuals on this forum were signing up and placing their deposits. Cody did quite a bit of testing on his own car, with his kit showing exceptional gains.

Over time Cody's presence on the forums was falling off and he was becoming a rather hard individual to get ahold of. Then later, many complaints were arising that his kits were starting to crack.

If you do a bit of searching, you will see quite a few Lovefab complaints showing lack of customer support and problems with the kit itself.

Once all of these problems started to arise, a select few individuals went directly with Inline Pro. John, the owner of Inline Pro daily drives his S2000 using their Turbo Kit, GT35R Turbo Upgrade, 3mm Headgasket and 25psi. For the longest time John was running race gas, making I believe 558whp. Over time with the cost of race gas, he backed it down to pump gas and was making 510whp - same setup. I believe that John has been running this setup for over 2 years, problem free - might even be 3 years by now. Well, I wouldn't say problem free - John goes through more clutches than most people go through boxers.

Personally I have taken Lovefab out of the equation - the lack of presence by the company owner and continuous complaints on his products speak for itself.

Full-Race has been in the scene for a very long time, their product and name speaks for itself. The only down side I have seen to their kit is pricing. In the past I had heard quite a bit about excessive boost creep with their manifold design, however from what I've heard the issue has been resolved.

If I had to do it all over again - sell the NSX to buy another S2000 and go turbo, I'd go Inline Pro without a question.

Inline Pro Turbo
GT35R Ball Bearing Upgrade
Inline Pro 3mm Headgasket
15psi
Tuned by Inline Pro

Obviously all of the other supporting mods that are needed to make it run nice.

 

I saw the posts about the cracks on the Lov Fab kits...

 

And now full-race as well.

Not to say either kit is bad; its just inherent in this engine that those types of manifolds WILL crack overtime. I'd assume with proper bracing the time span between cracks can be greatly lengthened but the material is just to brittle for such a strong vibrating engine.

Cast iron log manifold, despite its lower power per psi, is the way to go with this engine IMO.

 

thanx lots guys looks like ill be going with the inline pro kit. those 25psi that guys running sound very interesting and 510 whp sounds just about right for the beggining of a beast.

 

hey were is there an inline pro shop to get all of this done right. by them..?
