What does that borg warner equat to in terms of the Garrett turbo's? i'm unfamiliar

 

yes, I absolutely LOVED my old PTuning kit!

 

I was honestly happy with my 450whp on 93 pump. That was on PTuning's dyno. not sure how the SOS kit would put down power wise on their dyno. My old ptuning kit was with the GTX30r. just can't believe the gt35 is having that much trouble. i know it's gotta be the manifold but sheesh!

 

Closest would probably be a GTX3071, but with better flow. I have the 7670 EFR and I love it. The EFR series turbos are arguably the best turbos out there you can buy. If they're good enough for Indy cars, they're good enough for an S2000.

That said, the SOS kit is a good kit. No fuss installing, plenty of room for a v-mount if you want one, and makes the right power for street setup.

 

Interesting! I need to study the borg turbos.

I noticed that soulicious said the 400 was on 91. Curious what it could do on 93 at 15psi. i have a 70mm berk Hi flow cat and 70mm invidia q300. When i went turbo my first two times, inhad this exhaust and it made deceNt power. Then on my old ptuning kit, I had their 3 inch single.

 

im curious as far as how the car drives and feels between say a 370-380 whp SOS turbo kitted S vs. a 400-420whp KW sc kit. Other than low end torque on the turbo, wonder which would be faster on street driving. Is it just a matter of whp vs. whp?

 

Agreed. I would love to see this with the v-band IWG setup. It seems like the turbo is small enough that it should fit.

In response to the OP, I think the SOS kit was designed as a track kit first. The internally gated turbo hurts power (ultimately flow) but makes for a simpler/cleaner setup. Not having a giant manifold under the hood also makes less of a heatsink under the hood. I do think their choice/decision to use a twinscroll/divided t3 turbine housing chokes the top end, but supposedly the boost response is very good. I haven't seen a kit firsthand. On track maybe this matters more, on the street it doesn't matter at all.

Ultimately you can't go wrong with either kit. It really just depends on what your goals are. If you're used to making 450+ on pump, it sounds like you'd be disappointed w/ the SOS kit.

 

I've driven a few SC'd s2000's and, of course, turbo'd ones. When i was at 300whp turboed and raced against a 300whp SC'd s2000, i was a little faster than he was. However, when i ridden in his car, it didn't "feel" faster at all. I mean, I KNOW i'm going faster, but the feeling wasn't there. However, we both jump in my car, and he's freaking out cuz of the power is felt.

I think this is what ultimately leads me to keep wanting the turbo. I'm not trying to race anyone. I just wanna feel my money if that makes sense.

 

Isn't the prostreet the one that requires the relocation of the battery and fuse box?
