what's up guys, my buddy picked up the SOT (Stage One Tuning) positive displacement supercharger kit, it's only the 10th one sold so far. it's a pretty cool kit, the charger sound is pretty awesome but out of boost it sounds 100% all-motor, nice and sleeper like

here's some picts and video, it's on 7psi right now, the timing is really conservative so we could drive it around until it gets dyno'd which will be tomorrow :D I'm guessing in these vids the power is down about 30whp from where it'll be tomorrow after tuning, that's how conservative the timing is right now. I'll post up the dyno on here and some more videos once it's tuned.

Sounds nice, Who put it on? how much was it?

S2KFTW

it's my buddy anthony's car, between the two of us we put the kit on earlier this week. we've done all the work on the car including the suspension, clutch, fuel, and engine management stuff.

the kit was right around $5,000 if I remember right. that's right inline with all the other turbo / supercharged and intercooled kits. we'll actually be the first ones (from what I've heard) to tune this kit on a AEM EMS, the kit is typically sold with Greddy E-Manage. hopefully we get some nice solid numbers from the kit when we go to the dyno.

anthony also got a different supercharger outlet part that flows a little more, we'll dyno the car with and without that part to see the difference in power. it's still a beta kit but right now it doesn't come with the larger outlet piece.

the kit looks awesome, i remember talking to the guy with the yellow ap2 that had it down at IA about it. i wonder if there would be any power gain/loss if you used an air-to-air intercooler as opposed to running the water-to-air

S2KFTW

yeah the yellow one from Static X Motorsports is the sole US distributor, I haven't talked to him a lot but he's been very helpfull.

at first I thought that an air to air would be cooler (no pun intended), it would give you a nice front mount plus simplify things by not needing the water pump and heat exchanger. but I think the catch is that the throttle body is all the way over by the filter behind the charger by the firewall. so as it is now you have all the air in the intake manifold, piping, intercooler, and supercharger that you have to fill with air to get boost. and then at part throttle all that volume of air has to go into vacuum which it kinda seems like there's a tiny delay compared to all motor with the throttle body on the intake manifold. the only place this seems to be annoying is when starting the rpms climb a little too far then calm down to normal. I think it's all that volume of air getting sucked down to vacuum.

now if the car had all the extra volume of intercooler piping going to a front mount, plus the front mount itself, with all that extra volume I think it would lose drivability and throttle response. since a turbo setup doesn't move the throttle body you only get that little lag in building boost but part throttle isn't effected at all.

that's just my guess but it seems to make sense. my JRSC setup on my CRX keeps the stock location on the throttle body and the intake manifold is the intercooler, I think this is ideal, because you're not moving the throttle body, this is also how my buddy's Kenne Bell supercharger was set up on his mustang, but it's not an option on the S2000, maybe if it stuck out of the hood hot rod style

This is awesome. Im glad there is finally a kit like this for the S2k!

MidwestAutoWorks

wow makes some power but damn it looks like ****.

LaterApex

It kind of looks like what you'e expect under the hood of a Mitsubishi Fuso with turbo but I think that it's cosmetics may be easily improved. I'd like to show off the nice welds on the water to air heat exchanger but a powdercoat in black might look okay. The front mount cooler really does need a facelift. Wrong......it needs to be replaced with somthing else.

On the other hand, nobody cares how good you look when you break records!!!!!

njn63

Which size Eaton blower does it use? I assume the M62?

Cool to see another supercharged option I guess but I don't really see the point unless it's a bigger blower.

racerpat94

their website says it uses an MP62, so i assume its a CCW version of the M62.

S2KFTW

yeah M62 blower, don't think anything bigger would fit. and the kit would look cleaner with the intercooler all black, maybe they'll change that later. dyno'd today, 308whp @ 7psi. I'll post of the dyno video once it's online, it screams compared to some other guys the stock exhaust seems to be holding it back about 10-15whp so he'll probably change that at some point.

the bigger boost pullies will be on the way soon, gotta get more power than this still about 100whp over stock isn't that bad

can't wait for the dyno charts!

Black S2K

I dont undersatnd why this kit is the way it is. Why wouldnt they just have it replace the intake manifold? like the jackson racing superchargeres made for the k and b series? I dont think I would like my super charger mounted above the header. Im not a big boost guy never have been never will be. But if a company came out with a roots type sc that mounts right up to the head on the intake side I would be all over it.

S2KFTW

here's a quick video on the dyno...

S2KFTW

that's what I was thinking too but there's just no room at all on that side this is basically the same exact setup as the Jackson Racing / Moss Motors Miata kits.

powerneedy

I agree ^^^ it should replace the intake mani. i was all sorts of excited when i saw the thread but was disappointed to see this.

if they build it like a jrsc kit im in 1000 %

Black S2K

I would think there would be tons of room if the intake manifold was removed. I geuss well have to wait for someone to develope one. If I had time and money I would deff look into making one.

S2KFTW

the starter and alternator are in the way on the intake side, I really doubt there's enough room without needing to modify the hood, it would be cool though

kabaroo

and where would an intercooler go? These blowers get pretty hot. Since your running AEM EMS, I'm curious what you intake air temps were?

powerneedy

Jrsc's dont run coolers and if you would like lht builds custom ones into the mani and uses the same space as the stock jrsc mani...

Comptech doesnt run a cooler on therensx s/c either under 8psi your fine with out a cooler

Boots

personally, i think it looks like a cluster f*ck under that hood

HondaKyle

i think it looks nice under the hood...

Boots

yea it looks great, all the way down to the sweet *** spot the battery was re-located to

HondaKyle

Look under the hood of a stock s2000, its not like they are gonna do a sweet *** pointless wire tuck... The Full race kit relocates the battery in the same place along with a couple other turbo kits.

Boots

personally i think it looks tacky...id spend a little more time and move it to the trunk...the battery is about the only thing that would fit perfectly back there anyway
