There have been many people who run the inline pro kit and love it. When I got my kit I did not purchase this kit for a few reasons which is all your choice is what it comes down to. Small things like no need to relocate oil filter ect ect. Personally I like the full race and afi kits more then the inline pro. Yet that again is your choice on what to choose. I love my afi kit. And everyone else loves their setups. If you like the inline pro kit opposed to other kits then that is your choice ! Some have little benifits to others its all about options.

 

Again if I had to do it. I would get everything from full blown probably and try to save some cash and get some organization going. LJ is great with help, questions, and customer service. Very helpful. But any setup is limitless with the right cashflow from any company/brand

 

I am in the same exact position right now. I am curious as what people feel is the better route to go.... Piece together my own kit or go with one of the following kits
1)Ptuning 2)Mase Engineering 3)Inline Pro 4)Full Blown 5)AFI

 

if you know what you're looking at, piecing together a kit can save you a lot of money.

 

For any of you guys that have never pieced/fabbed your own kit on a car, let alone on an s2000. I wouldn't recommend for a second that you attempt to do so (unless you are using this as a learning experience and plan to have your car down for an extended period of time while you figure it all out). Based on some of the questions that have been asked in this thread, I'm willing to make a safe bet this is the case.


Out of the kits listed above the Ptuning and fullblown are the only I would consider touching with little/no experience in the turbo game.

These manufactures have done all the research for you, everything fits nice nice, and the kits are priced well.

 

With a little research it is not hard to figure out what exactly is needed to put your own kit together piece by piece. I'd be more worried bout the install honestly because while I do not have much experience driving or using FI, I am still aware of the parts that are needed. At that time its just a matter of wanting to take the time to put it together and making sure it will fit correctly vs. a pre fab'd kit which should fit no problem and make similar power. Probably save money piecing my own together though tbh, and this is where I am currently stuck at meh.

 

I understand where you are coming from, and you're right. The research needed to figure out what parts you need isn't really that hard, there are plenty of build threads here which one could go through and mimic.

However, I agree with you that it is the install to worry about, when it comes time to install said parts, and they don't all fit like you had hoped for, then what? Now your "cheaper" pieced together kit, needs to be modified to fit perfectly, which costs $$$$, and even more $$$ if you are paying a shop to do it all to begin with. They make kits for a reason, all the parts are fabbed to work with one another, just my .02

 

Ya thats true as well. I personally think im gonna go with the gtx3076r p tuning kit. Prolly will cost around 12k when all is said and done.

 

Excellent choice, I don't think anyone here will argue the quality of that kit, as well as the service/support they provide. I can't think of any reason to be disappointed with a great kit like that.

 

Ya I hear nothing but good thing about this kit, and the power is pretty amazing. And while yea mase's kit is alot cheaper I am more worried about the manifold constantly cracking with the sidewinder setup. So ya ptuning it is for me. Going with their gtx3076r kit, ems/fuel package, exhaust, and tune. Plus I will have them throw my cc stage 5 clutch on there and a light weight flywheel.
