Hey guys so I've finally decided to go turbo on my S Ive had her for 6 years now and finally ready to a one shot full build off, but a little query on the difference in maintenance and repairs from a stock s2000, to a turbo s2000. Like what type of situations would a turbo S get me into? Would a fully built Turbo S be a solid bullet proof reliable car where it would only require high maintenance on just fluid changes and typical wear and tear parts replacement? Or would bolts and etc get loose and need to get tightened every so often? This is going to be my first turbo car and I havent had much experience in the turbo field physically rather than just learning and knowing about facts about it. I am going to be getting a complete full build off from Full Blown Motorsport through Lj. Im still debating whether to stick and go with e85 since in Montreal there are literally only 2 gas stations that sell e85 and it would suck if i ever ran out of gas or plan b stick towards pump gas but sticking with pump will be max 500ish hp limitations Hope you guys can give me some quick tips on what type of maintenance and issues I may expect and deal with once my S goes turbo.
Below I have listed the complete build that I'm going to be doing.

Let me be first to ask... So you have a bone stock s2000 now and you want to do all of the above? If so, keep your $30k+ sell your s2k and buy something sweet! You can get a used Maserati Coupe! Now thats something!

No its not completely bone stock I already have most of the following mentioned parts but the cars currently N/A and I would like to go turbo and im sticking to that i just would like to know what type of maintenance/issues I would need to deal with even the its fully built I just wanna know to be sure and what I am might have to deal with

One of the biggest maintenance things is making sure bolts and nuts are staying in place. I actually disagree with everyone that says there is extra maintenance and broken parts with turbo set-ups. If everything is installed correctly and with attention to detail then there will be little issues. I say this though with a grain of salt as it seems as if you will be pushing the limit or at least have the ability to.

It all depends if you will be pushing hard or not. It also depends on if you will be just boosting around town or if you really want to track it or even if you want to do mountain runs. If you are doing more than just boosting around then I would recommend against the glorified mishimoto FB rad. It's just a pretty version or the stock rad that has slightly better cooling ability. I would look at doing a real cross flow radiator as can be found in the racing sub forum. I also didn't see an oil cooler. A good oil cooler will be necessay again if you will be doing more than cruising around.

That's a start. Everything else looks pretty badass!

So your asking if you remove, and or change the entire factory driveline, triple the power, and actually try to use it will you have problems. Does a whore suck cock for money? What kind of noob ass bullshit question is this. Everyone on this forum has constant problems, we enjoy the challenge of making things work that shouldn't. If you don't like fixing stuff, stay na. Boost breaks shit. Is it awesome, Hell yeah. Will you have problems, Hell Yeah. Haven't seen a bulletproof setup yet. Every other thread is about someones problem and how to solve it. Sounds like you gonna start a lot of threads with all that stuff. Happy boosting.

never really been on the track but i doubt i will be going often to the track im gonna be driving it mostly on the streets and occasionally a quarter mile

youngkilla

Lol true that!! its just hard to find reliable turbo mechanics down here, thats why Im curious

^^ learn about them do the work yourself, you'll save a lot of money and it's much more rewarding..I completely agree with japhethwar

i was literally laughing while reading this. It is quite true. To add to this/ reinforce this idea/ thought; We are putting parts together that were designed for a wholly different purpose. Do i need to finish the thought? But seriously, building a car that puts down 200whp stock and making it able to handle double and triple, sometimes more, the power and putting "supra" and "ford" parts and "custom" parts that were designed for another purpose. Parts that, while I think that LJ is a brilliant car man, parts that are in reality "shade tree" engineered. Things will break and the parts will be engineered and re-engineered over and over to be the solution. It is us, the turbo guys, that have the fantastic human condition, and we always want more! That means we push the envelope, break stuff, men like LJ find a solution and the cycle starts again. Its almost as if our purpose is to break stuff in a round about way.

It is your job to be part of the process and not a victim of it! I would highly recommend doing most of the install yourself and learn what every part does and how it works, mechanically and electronically. This will enable you to solve the problems down the road and allow you to not pay massive mounts of money to someone else when something does, and it will, go wrong.
