Default stock s2k to be supercharged

hey guys. I need some advice.

I'm new to forced inductions i usually just do bolt ons on my previous cars. I hated Hondas since i crashed my last car and test drove an S2k afterwards and it was perfect. just fell in love with it the moment i sat in.

I have an 05 s2k all stock for now.

I wanted to go supercharged because evryone that I know who has an s2k has SC or will be going for that.

Is it ok to just go straight to (comptech) SC kit and be driven safely almost DD car.

or should I take it slow and go add bolt ons then tune then save up again for SC later on.

don't hate on my reasoning =).

Just go SC, they are very reliable and a much better bang for the buck vs bolt ons.

Forget bolt-ons. I assume your friends were honest with you and told you how much it costs to boost.

Kit + engine management + tuning = good chunk of change.

Depends on how you plan to drive the car. If you want to do burnouts and launches you need a new clutch. High miles, maybe you need a new clutch.

I know of someone who was at 15,000+ miles and still going on an SC with no issues. I am at 6,000 and still going on a stock clutch with no issues but I don't launch the car. I mash the gas a lot when it is in gear and rolling, and it holds fine.


if you have any interest in one of the remaining roots kits (I think fairly cheap too) contact James at

Lower output will mean less stuff to upgrade. Go with a lower output first, like 7 psi, you'll feel it, and then figure where you want to go from there.

For 7 psi you won't need a new radiator, or thicker headgasket, or new clutch, if your stock clutch is good.

I would, however, recommend a standalone Engine Management.

Greddy Emanage Ultimate at the least. You can sell it later if you decide to upgrade.
