Just compare the dyno plots of both and you will see what im talking about. I installed a vortech unit in mine and the car is MUCH faster after vtec but almost the same prior to vtec swithover. It only makes big power at the last 3k. Just look at my dyno sheet if you dont believe me!

 

The cost of a SC + gears will be more then a turbo will cost (and the turbod car will blowwwww it away in terms of speed).

However, not everyone wants a beastly fast car either.

SCs will make the car faster then stock over 6k rpms and should remain fairly reliable.

The turbo car will be faster throughout the entire rev band and, depending ont he kit, should also be fairly reliable. The downside is, you need a couple more inital items that a basic SC kit wouldn't require (injectors and EMS thats about it).

People always claim the SC is MUCH more reliable then a turbo but I tend to disagree. When it comes down to the actual KITS reliability, I see just about as many "I have xxx problem with SC" threads as I do with "I have xxx problem with turbo" threads. Only difference is that the turbo threads always have to do with tuning issues which isn't the fault of the turbo kit, its the tuner. Inlinepro kits have been proven VERY reliable which much r&d as well as many customers, me included, running the kits in daily drivers with no issues.


In the end, its your decision

 

i believe you its just been awhile since ive seen a 2.0 vs a 2.2

 

ok now i like the idea of the turbo haha how much am i looking at for a full kit and any ideas were to get 1? are they like 'universal' or are they made just for the honda s2000 also thinking of the gears but am afraid its got to be 1 or the other not all '3sets;

1set = neo,header,airfilter,snorkle
2set = s/c
3set = 4.56 gears
thinking about turbo now but more research needed and info too

 

Automotivespeed.com has the inlinepro has a baseline kit for 3890.99. You will probably want to have the EMS with it which will be a added 1395.00, injectors which will be an added 340.00. That will be 5625 USD. You can add other things to that depending on how much power you want. The more power the more you pay though .

well gears + turbo can be a good or bad idea. To much power with gears and you will be shifting all the time. Sometimes the stock gears will be the best.

 

you need to ask yourself what you want out of your car.

turbo, sc and NA all feel very different

you will never get the throttle response of NA, with a turbo

you will never get the torque and out of vtec pull of a turbo with NA or SC

NA and SC keep the stock vtec motor feel...

turbo is just, power, pure power

but around a race track, sometimes the turbo delay, lag, and lack of throttle control under boost, can be slower than a nice SC or NA car

i still dont know what i want from my car yet myself

 

well am open to all ears tbh, what would i need for NA power cams etc am just going to get a list for all my 'sets' see how much each set comes to and what gains ill get from it and make my decicion there and then, id like to keep the vtec kick but i want faster ecceleration to the vtec point

 

good nite. who tuned your car? afr looks horrible.

 

what would i need for NA power and what work is involved thanks

 

Gee thanks !That was tuned with a vafc and a recalibrated fmu. Hey it works and it has been extremely reliable. When i find a GOOD alternative ill be using that....but for now ill keep it the way it is!
