I have had my 01 S2000 for a year now and I am looking for more power. I want something like 400 RWHP everyday. I have Ssarched the fourms for the past couple of months and I have decided to go with a custom set up my only problem is I could findnt out exactly what I would need to achive this that is why I am posting. My reasons for not buying a kit from Inlinepro or LoveFab Etc is because I want something unique and I don`t belive that Inline uses the greaest of parts in thier set up...I know without a doubt I will have to run and AEM EMS or another type of E-Management system.
Now I have heard of alot of people lowering the compression using a 3mm gasket but to be pretty truthful I know pretty much nothing about Forced Induction so that is why I am asking what I would need to achive this goal safely......

 

The LoveFab kit is a CUSTOM peiced-together system. You would be hard pressed to find something more performance oriented(rather than "kit" oriented) elsewhere, especially for the price. Each of our manifolds are slighly different(within tolerances, however), and are COMPLETELY hand fabricated.
If you want something even MORE custom; wherever the $ talks, thats where the fabricator walks.
K, that was ghey, but we can build something UBER custom if youre looking for uniqueness. Having the car here would definately help($-wise), but its not totally necessary.
Just chiming in

 

Tinker in a month or two I will have about 15000 to play with when it comes to the car....I owe 5000 on it when then I wanted to put some things into it lwith the other 10 grand into Body work then have some money to play with ....I think LoveFab is a pretty good kit...But how safe is it?...Also after recently riding in a 300 HP S2K I think that might be all I need....

 

bump for tinkers lovefab turbo...

 

The LoveFab kit is as safe as your tuner wants it to be(or you). The hard parts of the kit can be ordered to provide from 250whp to 700whp, all we need to know is what you want out of your car.
The tuning end is your responsibility, but we DO provide a very conservative base map that will allow the car to start/run/drive OK enough to get you to the tuner. If you run hard on this basemap and you pop the motor, its your own ass, quite simple as that really

As for safety so far? Ive been beating the daylights out of my car for 3 weeks, have logged around 1800 miles on the kit, and I now need a rear end along with a clutch. However, everything with the turbo system has performed FLAWLESSLY!
The car is just TOO much fun; ESPECIALLY driving around town. Its a beast down low in the powerband, where before that was the weak point. Now its just strong ALL over.
Some day Ill go with a thicker headgasket and turn up the boost, but first I need to address my driveline problems.

 

Thats sounds good...I understand where your coming from when you say the tuning is up to me...I guess I have to do a little more research on my part and find a good machanic in the New York area. Thanks for your reply I will consider it...

 

jaystyle, if u know nothing about forced induction i sugest that u stick to all motor i just bought the love fab kit, on order ill keep u posted on how it turns out considering im gonna run 18 lbs o a t4

 

I'am also getting a lovefab manifold and going to use a t4 also but at about 30-35 psi!!! If you want a turbo kit get love fab!!! CODY IS THE MAN!!

 

i didn't know you were gonna go with this turbo jay...

 

30-35 psi. you've gone nuts. its that possible with all the tuning in the world. and not blowing your motor every 1000 miles. 22-24 psi soudns more like it to be at a max. does anyone run 35 psi yet? highest i heard of was the one from team alpha and cdafc.com

not bashing on you guys love fab. if kane was willing to go to you guys i think you guys can make a great kit. and i would rate it at the top for right now.
