link to thread here


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've decided to go turbo instead of SC. Now I've narrowed down to 3 companies, one of which is HP Performance. I have lots of info here on the other 2 popular kits so no questions there. I couldn't find more than 1 loose thread (posted) on this kit without any valuable/helpful information. So I thought I would start another one.
I would like to see opinions from other Turbo' S2000 owners about your opinions on the design. Nathan (HP Performance) has sent me extra pictures of their kit, I've posted them below.
EDIT: (DYNO GRAPHS ON PAGE 2)

My opinions:
Pros:
- inexpensive for complete 350-375rwhp kit at $5799.00(including EMS, injectors, Fuel pump, etc.)
- (IMO) is less likely to have heat issues with other components because of turbo location.
- Jet hot coated plumbing.
- limited lifetime warranty on plumbing
- HP has lots of turbo experience with domestics (~10yrs) and has been recognized by magazines and domestic car forums. with 1000hp+ american muscle
- They have an NSX kit running 10's on the 1/4 mi
- great support (as shown on NSXprime)
- performance: 12.20 1/4 mi, @ 13 psi, and 415rwhp w/ a GT35r
Cons:
- Not too many S2000 kit's sold yet
- Turbo experience is mostly with the Domestics and a few one off civics and other drag imports,
- ?? runners seem kinda long?? maybe prone to cracking?
- ?? your opinions??

I've talked to the owner/partner at HP for about 30 minutes asking questions about the kit, price, performance, design...etc. Seems like a nice guy.

Let me know what you guys think of this kit. Design, material, etc... All opinions are welcome! thanks,

Paul

EDIT: Talked to Nathan again last week and he may come onto s2ki to answer any questions or concerns we may have.

Some info on their kit (copied from website hpperformance.com) :

how much? hahahaha

 

yes u seem to have told us everything but price, it seems like a pretty good kit, i just don't like the manifold, do you have any numbers that other s2000s have made with this kit?

 

price......power..... :-D

 

i think its a very good kit. actually i think that this kit was on a S2000 that made around 550whp or looked exactly identical to the kit

 

sorry the thread jack,Dsgs2k3, you have a turbo and supercharger?, please post a pic of your engine bay

 

^got my own thread

 

$5800.00
The S2000 they ran 12.20 1/4mi, 415rwhp (mustang dyno) @ 13psi

out of the box kit is 7-8psi ~ 350-375rwhp


EDIT: 415rwhp was with a GT35r and 13psi, first post has been edited with this info.

 

price listed. I don't know of any other members or owners that have this kit.

what about the manifold do you not like?

I thought that it might seem kinda long, maybe prone to cracking, I don't see any braces either, I will call them about that.

The RAW custom turbo looks similar to this and is making 450rwhp @ 15psi/GT35r

 

Any pics of this kit your talking about? Is it an s2ki member?


thanks for the replies guys, anyone else?
