I'm Just curious. I want Horsepower gains in the 400. I've had different ppl say each one, but none of them actually owned an S2k so I decided to get on here and ask around. Thanks In Advance.

 

400whp more than stock? or just 400whp? You could get to 400whp with either a turbo or a supercharger (horsepower will be very peaky with a centrifugal s/c though).

 

Turbo

 

The powerband in a turbo setup can't be beat, but the question is how often do you like to work on your car?

 

Do you want to go the smog legal calmer route or the all out balls to the walls route?

 

How much are you willing to spend? Turbo, is not cheap

 

Turbo is much more efficient then a supercharge, and yes you need alot of money on the side just incase anything were to happend. This is way I purchase an EVO because the engine is capable of handling 500whp without any problems with all the supporting modification.

But a built s2000 engine with turbo would be insane =)

 

I'm taking out a 15k loan and putting money into the turbo first. Then I go from there. I plan on doing internal work but I would really like to keep the budget for the engine work at 9k. Right now I'm thinking InlinePRO with the AEM EMS w/U band and most of the options.

 

It's more expensive to put an S/C into the 400whp mark at this point

 

Turbo has better power band but is harder to tune than SC. I am not sure if SC is more expensive at the 400 WHP in both case you will need to build the engine if you want to have a wider safe margin
