Isn't that $USD3,824.71? Doesn't sound that expensive for JDM bling.

Keep in mind it's designed for RHD and may not fit your yank tanks.

Also, I don't think it's a complete kit. I don't see any charge piping.

Actually you're right. I didn't do the conversion. Hahaha just figured 448,000 yen was a lot. Then again like aus said there are a lot of things missing.

I have to ask though, why are you interested in this kit? There are so many other options tried and tested and available on your doorstep.

Is this another one of those mysterious 'JDM' things I'll never understand?

Just buy any effective turbo kit but swap out the turbo with a HKS GT series turbo- thats all.

Can you tell me what makes the HKS GT a better choice than say a Garrett GT?

I dont have my mind set on it..But I was reading that it came with a Dual Ballbearing HKS Turbo...EQ Mani...3inch down pipe and it is the fastest spooling kit for the S2000 (again thats only what I read online when I was at work) I saw the GB on the Inline pro and I am verry interested in that kit aswell...I really want the love fab but that kit alone is gunna cost 10K after install...I was think but the Inlinepro and when I have the money switch out thier mani for the Love...Fab...So belive me its not a JDM thing...I just like tasteful things for my car I don`t care if its USDM or JDM (Although I do like the JDM body kit for our car but now I am getting off topic) thanks for the replies guys...John

John, just keep in mind that with the inlinePRO kit, which I also think is a good alternative, that you need to figure the price of a standalone into it when comparing it to LoveFab. Also realize that Cody's customer service at LoveFab is second to none. Just some food for thought.

It was somehow modified and I dont know if it had to do with the compressor wheel or some other feature of the snail.

But look around and you will see that the HKS series put out a lot higher #'s than normal garret turbos.

Sounds like more JDM magic to me. Surely if there was really an advantage Garrett would have bought a HKS and studied it.
