Yes we sell our manifolds seperatly,
does that mean we won't be able to get a turbo installed by you folks?
Sorry we do not perform installs

I'm in Miami... never heard of you guys? Where's your shop at? Did you do the work at Dynamic Turbo in Doral? They were working on a turbo kit on a Black S2000, very similar to yours, when I was there last a few weeks ago. They had the turbo and front mount intercooler in place, they were working on some piping.

Our manufacturing facility is located just outside of Miami, I cannot give our contact info on this forum due to forum regs. We are in no way affiliated with dynamic turbo, however I am aware that they have made a few turbo s2000's
You can come check us out our retail shop in Richmond.....ooops thats a bit of a treck for Floridians

i am just wondering... why are you planning on opening up a retail only store in richmond? and not have a garage associated with it? Or better yet, sell a turbo kit for the S, but have to tell the customer to go elsewhere to get it installed? I am just thinking it would be a great service to the customer if we can both get out product from you, and have you, the seller, install the product so we will know it is being done by someone that knows the product.

We are primarily geared toward manufacturing. We do sell directly to end users but most of our distribution is executed threw our certified dealers/install centers. Our location in Va will not be a full fledged retail location or your local tuner shop, we will not have parts, body kits, shift knobs ect on hand. Just turbo systems that we manufacture on hand that will be displayed in a small showroom. The primary function of our Va location will be a shipping hub and supplementary manufacturing on the premises.
Since the s2k system just hit the market we are working hard to set up a network of certified dealers/installers that can handle this.....or you could just install it yourself

We do offer extensive phone support to our customers if they chose the route to install the system on there own.

Terry is it anyway possible to make a top mount turbo application, just swap the wastegate and the turbo round or would the manifold not be able to take the weight of the turbo???

The reason why I ask is that I have a RHD S2000 and cannot fit a bottom mount turbo on my car and Revhard have'nt got back to me yet re: their kit!
thanks in advance
Andy

Andrew the manifold can take the stress of top mounting a turbo however this configuration will not work because the manifold will bolt up to the block incorrectly if you switch it upside down.

Thanks for the quick responce Terry

You missed a specific part of the question though, "is it possible to MAKE a top mount turbo application?" i.e. can 'YOU' swap the turbo and wastegate mounts round

I am sorry I must of read the question incorrectly.
We would be able to construct a RHD manifold however we would need to make a minimum of 5 due to tooling and development costs. It would also take about 4 months to do it

I don't think any other UK S2000 owner will go turbo just yet!! Oh well, just out of interest what make of turbo will you be supplying i.e: Garrett(HKS), KKK,etc....as I may buy everthing(stage 2) but the manifold from you & if you could suppy me with the manifold spec's and I could have one made up at a shop!!!
