After running this for a while I have decided not to worry about it. The filter area remains amazingly cool compared to the rest of the engine compartment.
Just put a temperature sensor (you can get a dual sensor/display combo for probably around $10) next to the filter and monitor its readings. If the temperature is not around ambient - you still have work to do.
My air fuel on a AP2 off of a NGK sniffer at the tail pipe.
Red= Stock A/F
Blue=Stock A/F after Mugen header was installed with stock FPR
Green= Mugen header installed and fuel pressure adjusted (AEM) to extract more power.
Just (jealously ) looking at your install pics again and I have a question -
Are you going to have to relocate your new battery mount so the IC tubing can go in?
I remember from BPR mockup pics that the outlet side pipe going down to the IC exits the blower at an angle ---
but can you guesstimate from the cross over pipe if your battery is "safe"?
I hope it is -- hate for you to have to re-work something you've already done...
The kit is very interesting, should be a nice development for the S2K.
And for you S2Kers BRP/SOT are very well known in the miata community. They have nice turnkey kits which this should turn out to be with a little more work.
If I wasnt moving to NY I would definitely buy a kit for the S.

I like the power being linier. I like the power being delivered the same way the engine produces power, Considering that when you are tracking the S you will be at 6000-9000 rpms the whole time.
The vortech CAN deliver mid range power, just has to be set up that way.
I really don't understand why people try to get lowend power out of an s2000. If that's the case go turbo.

The definition of "linear" is as follows:
[QUOTE]Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary - Cite This Source
Main Entry: lin
centrifugal blowers are not linear -
they are exponential --- at A +1 at B +2 at C+4 etc.
A linear progression would be at A+1 at B+1 at C+1 etc
Roots blowers are linear
Both designs have their inherent benefits and problems.
I feel like a motor like the F20/22 benefits more from a linear power boost everywhere --
keeping the OEM power band --- this would be a roots style blower
as opposed to a more exponential gain (that changes the way Honda designed the power band).
People (like SIDEWAYS) that spend alot of time and knowhow on tuning a vortec can build amazing engines ---
but for the rest of us...
Keeping the power delivery the same as Honda wanted it (only bumped up everywhere 80 hp ) seems like a really good idea.
