Gotcha. Wasn't sure since you said you were only getting 12psi. Maybe your not at sea level or might be some belt slip or possible boost leak, or maybe your running an FMIC? Few variables there but 14-15psi is pretty typical to get out of the standard aftercooled with 3" and what I got out of it.

 

Tell Rich I said HI! lol

 

Time for a Novi 1200

 

I’ll drop Rich a “hello” from you
He is crazy busy, working way late every day. I’m glad his shop is close to me.

I had been searching for a 1200 since I wrapped my head around what my car had (a 1000). I lost a bit of steam when I thought about turbo vs SC.

I’ve only driven one turbo s2000, and it seemed only a bit more sudden in its power delivery. It had a gt30 and made 450 on a mustang dyno (so likely about 500 on a Dynojet).

I looked at the hp chart in this forum section and when I filter down to pump gas f20 I see that there’s no sc on pump numbers above my current hp. I’m assuming the sc route is kind of topped out.

When I look at pump/f20//stock is see a tick over 450 with a gt30.

All this being said I’ll likely end up going the meth injection, 3mm head gasket, and a 6262 or gt30.

These cars a like street legal go karts!!!

 

Dont bother with the 3mm HG. Not realiable. Not needed with water/meth anyway.

 

You guys and this forum are awesome! The head gasket issue would have been tough to find out the hard way. I love all the info and help. Thanks again, John

 

"These cars a like street legal go karts!!!"

Just don't ever drive a Lotus Elise or Exige! I think it ruined the S2000 for me as far as nimbleness. I hope to supercharge mine in the near future though. I can only imagine how much that wakes the car up.
