Hey guys...

I am going turbo in about a month and a half and have been reserching ALOT of different kits and options... I am pretty set on the Inline Pro kit running a GT3076 RB with the BB upgrade and running their 3" SS Turbo Exhaust... my power goals are 425-495whp and I know pushing 500 is about max for the little 3076 but I want spool time to be FAST and the powerband to be real linear... I am wondering if the Inline setup is the best fit for me or if something like the Full Race tubular turbo manifold would help me meet the higher end of my HP needs while still using the smaller faster spooling turbo? I have an AEM EMS 1052U and will be running the Inline Pro 3mm HG w/ 675cc injectors... what do you think? Which is a better fit for me? Post any and all opinions I want to hear it all!

You may want bigger injectors. My 675cc were running at 105% @ 487rwhp.

thanks! also I was looking at your signature and it says you are running the 2.2L head on your 2L F20C??? Am I reading that correctly and if so is there any benefits from that? Just curious!

You will have my setup but with a MUCH more free flowing exhaust. You won't have any trouble hitting 425-450 rwhp. Spool up is a non-issue. This turbo spools so fast it's crazy. You could go the Lovefab, PFab, Full Race route if you wanted to, but hands down, no one has sold more kits for the S2000 than InlinePro. Any tubular manifold will produce a higher HP per PSI ratio than a log manifold (even though I'm hesitant to call the Inline manifold "just" a log because it's not), but none will be as absolutely trouble free as Inline's. You will have the 3mm headgasket so just turn up the boost to get the power you want.

I was very concerned with spool time and wanted the most "area under the curve" as opposed to one peak number that occurs at 9100 RPM and thus, Inline helped me pick this particular turbo (GT3076RB with the smallest turbine housing). If you want to be able to squeeze a bit more top end power at the slight expense of a little spool time and mid range power, go with a slightly larger turbine housing (same turbo, higher A/R).

For 475-500+ rwhp, I wouldn't use this turbo. A GT35 would be in order in that case.

I feel like we've beaten this topic to death in like four threads now. Just do it!!!! You won't regret it!

No worries bro! The 2.2 has a little bigger exhaust side cam. I made the same rwhp @ 5psi less then my buddy made with a similar ap2 setup. Im sure there could be other factors, but the main difference was the head/block combo.

SPECIAL-OPS-S2K

so its the cams that make the difference? so if I were to say swap in the cams from a F22C into my F20C head I should see simular gains? I am all for max hp at the lowest possible boost level (its safer)

Thanks

you should look into these, Skunk 2 Turbo Cams

lol you are right we have beaten it to death... I just saw a thread the other day where someone was using a GT3076RB to make like 530hp so it made me wonder if I was to get a tubular manifold from the start and have a little more free flowing exhaust then if after awhile I got more power hungry I wouldn't already be at the ceiling of my turbos performance capability... just a question I was throwing out and I was hoping you would chime in! I'll proably go with the Inline setup in the end... I kindof wish they made a tubular mani themselves... thanks for the input!
