please do... i am debating if i should go with the ARP head studs

 

Any issues with the InlinePRO kit? I have been thinking about whether to get this kit or stick to the comptech S/C. Basically this is my daily so I need a good bit of reliability. I just can't quite get myself to settle on a sc if there's a chance of making a reliable turbo setup.

 

hi there, geists2k -

Just had to take a second and express thanks for sharing your ride...
seriously amazing!

My dear EP3 is my 2nd car (first was an 86 Civic Si) and you're pretty much driving what I daydream about. I live not far away in Oaklandon, so hopefully I'll happen across your S2000 one day out & about and will get a chance to better experience it!!

Felt like writing to let you know how much I think of what you've done...
and also, would you happen to mind sharing any info about the Pro you've had wrenching on that killer machine?

my email is thankins@gmail.com if that's a better way to correspond (considering that I drive a Civic Si, I tend to lurk here and daydream a bit more than anything)

Thanks kindly,
Tom

 

^I live near the lake, so you may very well see me around out there.

 

your doing that on stock internals, only the head gasket change and ARP head studs?

This pic from your sig has long made this one of my favorite S2000's on the board. I had no idea it made high power numbers. for a very very nice ride.

 

awesome. you win.

 

Thanks man.

That pic was taken early last summer before the turbo kit went on.

I have the full J's Racing body kit and J's Type S hood along with the OEM hard top going on this winter so new pics will be in order when the spring rolls around.

 

Yes?

 

Is your S a daily driver?

Mine is a garage queen most of the time, so I can't really give you any advice if your S is you primary mode of transport.

That said I have a great deal of confidence in the InlinePRO kit. John Lee the owner of InlinePRO is a stand up guy and will always talk to me when I have questions. That counts for a lot when you decide to go this route.

I have some hard, and I mean hard miles on this kit and the only issues I have run into are with under hood heat management.

I think that you might have slightly better daily driver reliability with a Comptech or Vortech setup, but the power you get with the turbo is insane.

I haven't driven my car for like two months and we have had some unseasonably warm temps here so I took it out for a drive tonight and I almost forgot how frigging fast this car is. I LOVE IT.

The bottom line is this -- if you do it right, you can have a reliable turbo setup. But you have to be prepared to spend a pile of cash.

Hope this helps.
