Welcome to my world!

 

yeah and welcome to my world you can have both aswell

 

Thanks for the input,

I havent been in an S/c and Turbo S - Does anyone have one around the glasgow area?

1) I have currently invested in driving tuition, however i am still anxious about how the car will handle with 350bhp? - my main concern is the back end slipping out. - Im looking forward to some incredible straightline speed lol!

2) To anyone that has fitted one - how does the kit affect reliability?, anyone near my way that would be willing to lend a hand to fit? ( If I bought the kit)

I thought the kit had to be mapped? or only if using high boost?

Thanks again!

 

From my experience it doesn't matter too much whether it is 240, 350 or 420 BHP the back end only steps out if you provoke it.
It's not the power its your driving style, good that you are getting some tuition.
No affect on reliablity, providing you install it well, do the extra oil changes and look after it.
Standard kits don't need a remap. Its only when you start messing with exhaust train, injectors and more boost it becomes an issue.
My stock Comptech & AC install needed a small tweak of the FPR and that was it to get 320 BHP.

 

but it went pop anyways?

 

The weirdest thing about SC'd S2000s is the SFW? factor; with a few mods (which mostly make sense on NA cars too) they feel that they were built for the power.

Off VTEC, the torque is reinforced, but doesn't feel any different. Well, a bit, as if it's a larger-capacity engine. No problemo.

Once the other cams de-restrict the intake, it's a bit Far King Hell and his cohorts. Despite the slightly annoying throttle lag, there is a throttle there to moderate it. With an NA, you'd only use VTEC in a corner on a dry road to provoke some oversteer. You obviously would only do so with SC after a bit of practice to provoke a lairy powerslide.

TBH, the engine isn't a silky as a TVR six. But it's made of metal alloys, not caterpillar spit, which is why there's a remote possibility you'll arrive home not on the back of a transporter, as you will with a standard TVR.

Realistically, of the two cars, the S2000 SC is the no-brainer.

 

No throttle lag on mine!

 

Only because Bibbs forget to torque the plugs down properly and ran out of oil
So not because of the SC
Modifry ran a stock Comptech NONE aftercooled set up for ~120k miles before the engine went. No different to Budgie's NA engine failure at over 100k miles then

 

Would have gone pop if it wasn't SC'ed too .. But then I wouldn't have spanked the 997 Carerra 4 beforehand.

It was all down to no oil. The plug gaskets had split and two plugs worked their way loose.

 

I know just joking about. Such a shame...

but back to my question, roughly the ecu (
