Default AP1 Turbo tune up..

Simple and easy.... does anyone knows a shop or place where i can take my S2K and get it turboed... im a V8 guy... in a V8 we just put everything there and step on it... but in a 4cyl im kinda worried of making a mistake... I prefer spending few extra $$ and get it well done since is my DD car... im not looking for 30psi... i just want around 10-15.... $$ isn't a problem since im not doing it now.... im just saving for some wheels first... then imma start the turbo project...

Im from CT so.. if the shop is near me the btter.. dont wanna leave my baby far from me...

THANK YOU

That is just a turbo kit... i highly doubt a stock F22 will hold 15psi..... i might need to change pistons.. cams... rods... head mods.. stuff like that... about the turbo kit im not worried.. its about the internals...

Then you need to spend a lot more time on this site. These motors are surprisingly strong. You can waste thousands of dollars replacing the internals for no reason, or you can read up and discover that nobody builds a F20/F22 motor for <15psi these days. You'll also find that the cylinder head is so efficient that head mods & cams make such a small difference it's not worth it (unless you're going for really big numbers on the dyno).

I had to leave all of my assumptions behind when I went from V8's to this car. It's a totally different game with Hondas.

If you know how to work on V8's working on a 4 cylinder should be easy, just find a good tuner to tow it to when your done with the install.

v8s hold a lot more psis stock than 4cyl do.... and a V8 ford parts are a lot cheaper than a S2000 parts.. I can blow my Mustang in parts and with 1 paycheck fix everything... a S2k part is WAY more expensive.... trust me xD when i started doing my research on S2K part i was like... oh god... here go my next paychecks

Exactly... jumping from a Mustang to a s2000 is a huge step and diff... Sold my Mustang and Accord and bought this S2K... miss my mustang but ill get another one soon... now its time to work on this baby... so what u recommend me? get a Turbo Kit that comes with all necessary parts and ELectronics?
