Default what do i need to do new to s2k

So i guess it would be easier to tell you what im wanting, then you guys can to me what i need to do. I want to make around 400hp to the wheels. I want to know what would be better supercharging or turbo? ive worked alot more with turbos cuz i have a wrx. (selling and buyin s2k). I want to try a SC but not familure with them. On these honda engines what internals would be good to change for making 400hp. i know that turbos seem to be cheaper but i might not go cheap this time. I want a bad car. 400hp is my goal Help me please.

turbos cost more. unless you buy a cheap kit, which u will run into many problems.

if you have the $$ go with a turbo.. if u want to get boosted fast and easy. go with a supercharger. 400 hp is nothing for stock internals.

see ya

Go sc for ease less money and reliability. Stock internals are just fine with a good tune. No worries. I plan to go sc shortly. Can't wait!

Doesnt matter tho im intrested in either. im planning on buyin a s2k between 8-10k and dropping that into it after my deployment so. let me have it what should i do. list of parts and good sites. Im tired of the subaru crap ready for a change goin with the better car.

i'm guessing you're into wrx'x and not the sti's as far as subarus go. if you like the 4 doors, awd, and handling of your current car, get an STI, get a straight exhaust and mild tune.

if you want a fast s2k, do a turbo kit. from what i can see and what i'm guessing your price range is, save up and get a mase engineering kit. you could do a very conservative tune and still make 400whp.

either way you'd have about the same money in them. both i think could be very reliable, but 2 differant beasts.

yea im a just a wrx guy. but goin to something different. I love the way s2k look. wanting a 2door 2seater car with some good power. Thats why im getting a s2k. Im payin off the subie after deployment then planning to trade it plus cash for an s2k or selling then buying an s2k. I think i will go with a SC

I like both. And as long as you have management you can go either way.
If you looked at turbos that were cheaper than SC you may have been looking at the cracker jacks kits. revhard, or any of the other junk kits that are avail.
A real good solid turbo setup is not cheap. Then having someone install it correctly that has experience and will make sure the kit is reliable is another chunk of change, and very important aspect. Last major important detail is tune.

Id say spend a month researching in this section of the site. watch some vids, take notes, and you will learn alot. Youll see who the swinging dicks are, youll see what stock motor can handle, and youll find a setup youd like to mirror.
dont be afraid to spend 10k+ to do it right. Ill itemize it when i get back. i have a meet to go to. late
