Umm, wouldn't looking at the internet address answer your question?





It's a Top Fuel kit, Top Fuel is a very well known tuner from Japan.

No one has ordered this kit because it was built for LHD S2000s. If I am correct, the engine bay on LHD S2000s is reversed (from left to right) compared to our cars. You would have to do some major fabrication to get it to fit. Plus, I heard the kit is not a complete kit.

To get it to work you'd have to cut off the A/C line and then run a rubber line around the edge of the engien bay (moderate to difficult, involves cutting the line and attaching the rubber hose), relocate the battery somewhere else (moderate), and then move the fuse box where the battery is (minor). It's not THAT big of a deal if you're in to making major changes to your car (like a turbo.)

nobody that i know of in the US has done it, because nobody was willing to risk the money (we offered, in a couple of occassions, to sell one set of this turbo kit at our cost to anyone willing to do a writeup) and time to do this. also, this is NOT a complete kit, you'll have to do some fabricating yourself (or by your shop), dyno tune, etc. this would be a great setup to run with the AEM PEMS, but the eventual cost will most likely be more expensive than the SpeedCraft turbo.
