Food for thought. Have you ever played russian roulette? Recent studys show that 35% of all supercharged/turbocharged end up with a KABOOM!!!!! 35%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever wonder why there is SUCH A HUGE NUMBER OF USED KITS FORSALE?
35%
Is that for all cars or just the S2000? I know everybody and their brother makes a turbo for the civic. I'm sure that doesn't help the numbers any if it's included.
Just the s2000. This is not an issue of a week motor. This is the reality of boosting a HIGH compression motor. My few years of experience building race motors (and race cars) have showed that the optimum compression for the AVRAGE street/race turbo set up is 8/1-8.5/1. This is MUCH lower than the S.
key> DROP YOUR COMPRESSION TO AVOID DROPING YOUR MOTOR!!!!
