Which supercharger?
Hi guys, I know this has been discussed a lot but what is the best supercharger? And what would I need to upgrade on my stock S2000 to go with it? Thanks in advance.

You would definitely need to upgrade ecu for the tune, probably the clutch and also fit an oil cooler, possible your rad, and maybe other items to assist in checking temps and keeping them down.

Plus a 3 or 4 bar map sensor.
Don't need an exhaust, just a decat. You'll net a few more ponies with an exhaust though.

What year S2000 will make a sizeable difference in cost.
What i'll list is the necessities to get you running on the road.
Early models require full standalone ECU to yield max potential, such as an AEM EMS Series 2, later ones can use Hondata flash pro.
Clutch from the likes of Science of speed clutch, Competition clutch, ACT. The extra torque on an already worn OEM clutch will almost certainly make it slip.
4 bar map sensor aswell as correct sized injectors depending on the power you're shooting for.
Fitting a decat pipe is almost certainly a necessity, they hold the car back so much with the oem cat.
Twin thickness Radiators, manifolds, oil coolers, widebands and complete exhaust systems aren't absolutely necessary but if you plan on tracking the car they're sure good future.

What you really need is at least $8,000 (eight thousand dollars).
A good supercharger kit will install in a day professionally and over a weekend in your garage. A turbocharger probably takes an extra day as more stuff has to come off the engine. I've watched one (1) supercharger installation and it's simple wrench turning if the installer knows his stuff and has all the parts. A complete kit is obviously recommended. This doesn't count things like the clutch, differential, etc. Then ya need a tune so it runs right.
After you get all this power you need to decide what, if anything, you're actually going to do with it other than exchange dyno numbers and quarter mile time slips at cars-n-coffee. We get questions all the time from guy planning road trips with SC/TC cars who are concerned about their reliability.
Not sure where you are but there's a shop in Florida with a very good supercharger reputation who can offer a "turn key" conversion. Yep, this is expensive.

Hks or tts were my two choices due to the support on here for the hks and si@hendy and the tts due to being built in the uk ( and in my opinion better built than the hks )
to do it properly and if you're not fitting the kit yourself.... budget around 6-8k
i decided not not to due to the costs involved and bought another car with the 'charger fund '
