I talked to the forcedair guys on the phone recently and was not all that impressed. They told me I had to completely build my S2000 bottom end if I wanted to get 300-320 RWHP from a custom turbo kit (forged rods, crank and pistons). Plus they said they would probably use a FPR and high pressure/flow fuel pump for Fuel Management.

Scary

Thats what happens when someone doesnt know a car. Not everyone can specialize in everything. From what I can see, they know STIs REALLY well.

passmans2kny,
Ditch your turbo kit and be on the waiting list for this! Im sure it wont take that long to get
Brant at BRP has had serious problems over-promising and under-delivering on both his Miata and S2000 products.

I put a $1500 deposit on a "beta" S2000 kit last spring. I was scheduled for an April 23 install at his shop in South Carolina. We rescheduled for mid-May so the "kit would be ready for sure". Now it's October and the kit appears to be farther from ready than it was back in May.

I bailed out in late May and forfeited $250 on my deposit. At this point I feel like I was ripped off--I wouldn't begrudge the $250 if the kit had actually gotten into production, but losing $$ on a deposit for a product that never actually existed doesn't seem right.

As for the Miata blowers, they are having serious and unresolved issues with the fuel management, which was billed by BRP last spring as having excellent drivability.

At this point I would advise anyone considering their products not to get too stoked by what they say, and wait to see what they do.
