S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Default What does 300 or 400whp feel like?

I've thought about going FI with my s2000 many many times. Can anyone really tell me if there is any car out there that a 300whp S2000 has a similiar feeling too? Or is my question way too much of a stretch. Thanks in advance fellas.

Turbo or supercharger, they both feel totally different.

It is very difficult to equate an aftermarket turbo S2000 to any other factory car.

Have you ever been in a non factory turbo car?

best bet is to post in your local forum and sit shotgun with a fellow member who has a FIed s2k, if you lived in va I would take you for a ride. One thing I can tell you though is that you'll need to get use to an aftermarket clutch

I'd venture to say a motorcyle down low is still a good amount faster then our car up top


I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but w/e its my opinion. I've driven in a SC s2000 and to be honest it didn't feel any faster. Now, I have no doubt it WAS indeed faster but with the lack of torque they made it feel the same as a stock one. This was a vortech s2000 and yes the blower was working fine.

It feels like the road has to be 100% dry to get traction. Trust me, you want FI.

I agree with spec ops some what didn't feel a big difference until i got tuned and a straight through exhaust. The only way i knew i was alot quicker before was just by racing other faster cars i couldn't keep up with before. Turbo gives you the feeling of being pushed back in your seat even on the same psi as i was supercharged. Now i doubled my psi and am turbo now and its a whole different beast. You can't compare a motorcycle to a car because its only 350 lbs and its def pushes you back in your seat i was scared to take my bike to redline the first time i got on it.

i meant that with a bike if you floor it at a low rpm and take it to redline it will gradually make more and more power until @ redline your being pushed into your seat.
