This section is 440 pages and I am sure there is a thread that talks about beefing up the rest of the car to take the heat load and power that boost gives, if not lets talk about it here. I was advised by a knowledge person of the following:

It would be more fun with a lot more power, but a conservative cost estimate to build a turbo the right along with the beefed up drivetrain is around $20k. More oil cooling, tranny and diff coolers, beefed up rear diff, stiffer mounts/bushings everywhere, lots of engine bay venting, making a bigger front opening to get more air into the engine bay/coolers, etc etc. One big issue is the smallish front opening on the S2k. Check out the front end of an Evo and it has a big opening just for the intercooler and then additional openings above that. A GTR has about double the front open area. More power = more heat to reject. So double the power = double the heat to reject. If someone wants to give me $20k

So to all my fellow members did you have trouble with cooling or drive trains when running 400HP or more?

 

 

 

Yep. Sure did

 

Lol are we looking at same forum? plenty info on here just need to read! And search.

 

Keep reading. There are plenty of cars making well into the hp range you are speaking of.
