I know why Honda didn't put a turbo on the s2k, because they didn't want to put every other japanesse car company out of business.

 

"If all you care about is 0-60 and 1/4 mile then you bought the wrong car. You have no one to blame but yourself.
As an owner of an SC'd S with an attention span longer than 13 seconds I really appreciate what the SC does for the car."

aus2000 dont be 2 clever...i have already my second s2k and I like it as it is, I dont need to put in a SC to compensate my little ego..All I wanted to say is, that with the same investment (money and time) you can achieve much more with other cars. If I would like to have a turbo car, I would walk right now into the Mitsu dealership and buy a nev evo8..cash:O))
My local friend has an SC in his S and believe it or not, before he sees some traction, I have passed 100km/h...The final gear (4.57) is working from zero, I dont need to wait 13 seconds to see some change and on a track, the fast cars are fast in the corners. And by the way, I dont care about a 1/4 time, because it is the most retarded "motosport" on planet earth. All I wanted to say is, that a SC should compansate the weak point (below 6000rpm) and when you ask your self, this is what you were dreaming of before you have wasted your money on the SC too:O))) And if you ask your self again, you would be also more than happy if stage 1 mods would bring larger gains. You act like a 300kg pussy that says she is happy the way she is. So why is she on diet all the time?

 

jakub2000, your last statement is getting very inflammatory. Please don't do this again. Everyone is entitled to their opinion without the consequences of name-calling. If someone else started the name-calling first, then fine, have at it (for a while).
You say drag racing is "retarded"? Well, there are HUGE groups of people all over this globe who would think pushing a little car around in circles as a pretty thing to do. There are also other HUGE groups of people who make BIG bucks selling stuff to drag racers. You can't argue economics and if that's what makes the world go round, there must be something to drag racing, huh?
Don't slam something just because you don't like it or have little understanding of. When was the last time you squeezed over 6000 HP out of ANY engine?

 

 

I agree the car isn't for 1/4 mile. But its fun to drive a turbo car and I don't want a four door. I don't have a family yet. It seems to me that if you live in the USA and you want to go fast you either buy a Corvette or a 4-door. As far as I'm concerned I can't afford a vette and I don't feel sporty in a 4-door. That's my own opinion so don't anybody get mad. If the STi came in 2-door I would have bought it. Anyway my question is if the SC doesn't cause too much wear and tear on the engine at 8 psi shouldn't the turbo be just as reliable? Thanks in advance.

To Expand on good thoughts!

I am not looking to drag race my S2000. That is why Corvettes were invented. So much easier to get under 10 seconds, but if I am Supercharging my car and then decide to take it to the track and run 13's, isn't it true that I am going to get through first, second, and third gears. That is a full nine thousand rpm's in three different gears, plenty of room for the S2000 and its supercharger to impress the civilized world. Why are the gains this minimal with the supercharger? (Is stock 14.1 and Comptech 13.2? If so I don't think that is a minimal gain.)

Now in defense of the Forced Induction. Ultimate racing has a turbo kit that is running 12.65 with a GReddy Emanage piggy backing the cars ECU. That sounds like a vast improvment over stock, and I understand that with a stand alone engine management system another one or two tenths are lurking in our really big go fast go karts.

I am not that knowledgable so don't tear me apart if any of this is wrong. I am interested in a little more power though. I like turbo's but I love NA. What to do?

 

hmm, so u LIKE turbos but LOVE NA? and u wanna make a little more power? What do u mean by a "little more power?" The s2k's motor is designed to be a high output NA motor, since the stock compression is pretty high(11:1). But since u want a little more power, then go with the basic boltons(i/h/e), then do PnP and cams, then if u can afford it, get a AEM EMS and dyno tune that biatch. But if u wanna go all out for NA power, get ITBs. .

 

All I can say is I am very happy with my turbo.....
