So, I have been looking at buying boost from here or PFAB to get 475whp. If I get 500whp great, if not cool. Im happy with 400whp. So, I ask the guy what size boost will give me around this range. And he said "Our stage 1 kit with the t3/60-1 will meet your goals. The price on the kit is 3499.00 and shipping". Is that possible? I was assuming this whole time that a gt30 was necessary for these numbers. Also, for those that have never heard of pfab I included their website so you can see what I am talking about below. Thanks for your input.

Yes.
Please do some research.

 

Why thank you. I will. I typed in the turbo specs a thread popped up and a guy had been through it already. Just one thread though. I had only heard of the Gt series, never heard of the one suggested. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

 

there are so many factors that play into producing whp. im putting together a custom turbo setup with the same whp goal in mind. pfab elt manifold, 60trim t3/t04 turbo, 44wg, 3" dp, etc etc on stock motor. only problem is my turbo will probably max out anywhere between 450 and 500 so i'll be limited to how much boost i can push...maybe upgrade to a gt down the road??
you also have to consider fuel system, tuning, etc etc.
i had a turbo'd b series hatch before my s2000, and so far the costs for the s2000 is triple that of my hatch...havent even started the tear down and assembly breaking my wallet forsure!

 

It cost close to 10k to do a turbo on the s2000 if you pay someone to do the work and tune. Closer to 7k to do it yourself and prof tune. I think the SC for the most part is a better way to go with a smaller pully. It is more reliable and you don't need to change as much stuff FYI. I did two turbo kits when I had my car. If I were to do it over again I would do the SOS CS which was not out when I did my car or for a turbo kit the ptuning kit.

 

I built my kit piece by piece and had a shop finish installing/fabricating my setup. I'm running the PFAB topmount manifold w/ GT35R. I will have to say that I'm with Revenge... it's great to have the turbo kit now and I can say that all the little "kinks" are worked out but it was a headache until now. With tuning, misc pars and labor it was definitely around 10k and the SC is without a doubt the cheaper route. I wouldn't change it now but if I were to go back in time, I would probably go the SC route because from what I hear... it's much easier to deal with. Once again, that's just what I've heard and now that all the small little issues are worked out, I wouldn't change it.

 

My initial plan is/was Hondata/Benson sleeves/GT30r. But homie way above me told me to research when I have been looking at boost and reading about it on here for 2 years now. I know a GREAT kit is at least a 10k investment. Cause you have to lower the comperession ratio, do the sleeves, tune, boost, suspension and also in the future strengthen the tranny. I was just curious cause I NEVER heard of that specific T3 boost mentioned above. I was only familiar with gt30 and gt35s. Thank you guys very much. I have the CR shocks and springs, and have the 00 sway bars on my car. Now it's time to save for the ECU, then buy the boost, then sleeve it. Seriously, thanks guys for really answering my questions. My plan is to go with PFAB kit.

If you had been truly researching and "looking at boost" for 2 years, you wouldn't be asking these questions. But, I'll help you out.
