Default Turbo Question

I have a question about the turbo kits out for the S2K. I'm not looking for a specific hp number. I was wondering which turbo or turbo kit would get me a 0-60 of 4 seconds with out putting too much stress on the stock engine internals.

How can you move a car from 0 to 60mph without putting stress on the engine and drivetrain? Perhaps a steam catapult from an aircraft carrier?

Sorry, it's just unrealistic. There is no way to make your car perform like that with the F20C without stressing it. Infact, even with a serious rebuild you are still going to be stressing those 4 little cylinders beyond a safe level.

when you find one let me know goodluck!

but to make it easier on you, I don't believe you'll hit 4 second 0-60 with a slap on anything with the S2000 with stock internals. You will need to rebuild your motor to run enough boost to make enough power to go fast enough to satisfy your needs. And that doesn't come cheap.

and then when you do all that, hopefully you do hit 4 seconds your first run... because maybe you MIGHT break the entire drivetrain along the way after that. Better start saving

This is a general enquiry into product information and doesn't belong in UTH. Moving to S2000 Talk.
