PTUNING S2000 Turbo System LIMITED BATCH Release Pre-Order
PTUNING S2000 Turbocharger System LIMITED BATCH Release
For those that are unaware, we released an S2000 Turbo System 8 years ago, but stopped production just a few years back to focus on kits for some newer cars. Demand for our turbo system has grown since we were sold out and stopped production. We are going to be releasing a limited batch of (15) FIFTEEN of our famous track-ready turbocharger system. We’re currently putting together a pre-order list. Production time is estimated to be about 8 weeks AFTER we have (12) $4,000 deposits collected. The remaining balances will be due once the kits are ready to be shipped out.
Here is a quick run-down of some of the main design criteria for our turbo system:
- The kit is basically unchanged except the addition of a heat shield for the motor mount.
- No frame or sheet metal bending, massaging, grinding, notching, painting, etc. required for installation.
- No need to relocate the battery, fuse box, A/C lines, EPS module, or oil filter. In fact, you will not even need to move or rotate the factory heater control valve or water line.
- No need to tap the oil pan or girdle or weld on any return fittings for the turbo oil return line.
- No need for extra, unsightly heat wrap or heat shielding covers in the engine compartment.
KEY DESIGN FEATURES: Benefits of the low, bottom-mounted turbo location:
- The turbocharger is situated low and further back in the chassis for better weight distribution and handling.
- The turbo manifold design keeps the hot exhaust runners, down pipe, and turbine housing low to reduce excessive engine bay heat.
- The design also prevents any unnecessary heat soak to the oil filter (factory location).
- Another very important aspect of the low mount design is that it allows us to develop an EXTREMELY high flowing 3” downpipe with only two, VERY low angle bends. This, among other design aspects, greatly contributes to the very quick turbo spool-up and high overall power output. Updated "cold pipe" cleaner design (to throttle body)
Turbo Manifold design:
- True Equal Length Design (all runner lengths are within ~ 5/8” of each other).
- Very smooth flowing runner design with gentle radius bends and minimal directional changes. (no tight radius welds were harmed in the production of this manifold).
- The full T304 SS construction (including even the CNC-machined head flange) creates what is essentially a rust-free manifold.
- True, symmetrical merge collector (this is not a mini-me style collector). Updated motor mount with heatshield
Down Pipe design:
- V-band inlet, v-band outlet, all v-band wastegate connections (Incl. recirc tube) and all constructed from T304 SS.
- Our down pipe will have provisions for an optional re-circulating wastegate dump tube for those looking for a stealthier set-up. A DTA set-up will be standard.
- The optional re-circulating dump tube will have a properly designed, long-tube, low-angle merge collector downstream of the down pipe.
Turbo Oil Scavenging System:
- The external oil scavenging pump used with our turbo system eliminates the need to modify the girdle or oil pan for a turbo oil return line.
- It will integrate with our optional engine oil cooling system
- No need to debate whether to tap the pan or the girdle.- In our opinion, tapping the girdle is too much of a PITA for the average enthusiast. The oil pan is too thin for just a tapped fitting and welding a fitting onto a very old oil-penetrated S2000 oil pan (even when properly prepped) can sometimes have mixed results.
- The oil scavenging system will theoretically allow you to drive your S2000 upside-down without any turbo oil draining issues (of course we know this is not possible).- You can basically go around an off-camber, left hand circle all day long with full slicks and not have to worry about the turbo oil return backing up with oil.
- The turbo oil-scavenging pump we use is a very high-end and quiet spur-gear pump (not a diaphragm pump). It is designed specifically for scavenging hot oil. It uses internal components (brushes and high precision bearings) that are selected to provide 10,000+ hours of service (For example, if you drive your s2000 an hour a day, everyday, you can still expect over 27+ years of service).

Like it says above, we are only making 15 kits for this batch, so please let me know as early as you can if you are interested in one. Please PM or email me if you have any questions.
Bump for a great kit. I was S/C’d for years as I feared having a turbo setup without reliability and having maintenance issues. I’ve only had the kit for five months, but it’s been pretty solid. Don’t let this one slip by!
Now bring back the exhaust system! I will buy one now.
Haha this is one we actually still get asked about, but we unfortunately will not be bringing this product back. Unless 20 people are all suddenly very interested..
If PTuning was to price their turbo kits below $4,000 - would that cause a loss in profits?
I see many other turbo companies pricing their s2000 turbo kits well over $6k.
Just curious to understand how/why turbo kits for the s2000 are not price-friendly.
It definitely would cause an extreme loss in profits even if we were to drop our turbo kit price down to $4,000 considering it costs almost that much just for a Garrett GT30R Ball bearing turbo, Oil scavenging pump with custom brackets and lines, the low-mount turbo manifold, and the custom passenger-side engine mount that allows us to mount the turbo this low. That's almost $4,000 just for (4) pieces of our 50+ piece turbo system. I'm sure there are plenty of ways for us to cut down cost and bring down the price, but our goal is to deliver you the best quality and best performing turbo kit we can.
There are several options to turbocharge an s2000 under even $3,500, using a log-style manifold, journal bearing turbo, a DIY downpipe and intercooler kit.. Just can't guarantee the same kind of performance, spool-up, and results.
