I'm on the fence about purchasing a kit, I've been bouncing back and forth for about 6 months now. I don't know really anything about the kits except for how FI works and that it'll give me more power. Currently have an Invidia test pipe + HKS single exhaust, AEM V2 CAI. I set a budget of around $6,000 and found the SOS Stage 2 supercharger kit + engine management + fuel system for $6750 shipped. Pic included. Looking for advice (where to shave a few dollars//different engine management system maybe) and what cost to expect BEYOND this initial purchase. Located in Las Vegas. Thanks

 

A safe budget for supercharging with all new parts and doing the labor yourself would be $10k. You might be able to save a couple thousand buying everything used and the used part would be your only compromise. You also need an upgraded clutch kit, and that's easily another $1k with labor if you don't feel comfortable doing that yourself. There are other things to account for such as runs to the hardware/autoparts store for tools and misc stuff, then the dyno tune after everything is installed.

 

dont forget to include, installation cost if not wrenching yourself, clutch/Flywheel upgrade, some gauges (afr at minimum), tuning time, misc. $ for the just in case issues. Those are the ones off the top of my head... if your budget is $6000, id look for a used kit or maybe save a little more. Good luck. Im assuming this is for an AP1 based on your pic on profile. the posted image doesnt show up on my computer at work.

 

I'm selling a really nice used sos stage 2 kit...I'll hook you up with a great price if you're willing to move quick.

 

Doesn't the standard Stage 2 already come with fueling parts? I'd hold off on the 425BHP injector/pump upgrade and budget clutch work instead. Also, consider having SOS do all the work since you're only about 6 hours away.

 

$10k minimum to boost an S2000.

 

Buy a second hand SOS stage 2 mate with bigger injectors, fuel pump etc...as you will need that extra $$$ for installation, tuning and clutch.

Then start saving because you will blow your diff within a year.

 

I'll sell you everything you need for $6k other than the clutch

 

That sounds like a much better option.

Then take it easy with the diff, launching etc...

 

I don't launch my car.

For $1,000 more I'll sell you my PuddyMod Stage 2 diff with 4.30 final
