well my first question is how much HP is alright on a s2k motor with stock internals? other pieces like the rear diff. and clutch i will replace without a problem i just dont want to pull the engine. also will the blowzilla be an alright choice for a turbo? or is there a better option? plus what are my options as far as engine management goes for the s2k? and final question is does anyone have a sound clip or comparison of running a CL WG compared to an OL WG? thanks guys!

 

Goal and budget are the first two requirements for answering this thread with any sort of accuracy. Also IIRC, the most anyone has made on a bone stock S2k was something like 690whp on VP 116

 

well the motor itself can handle tons of power the fact is the internals are forged. ive seen plenty of 400whp-450whp daily s2ks. Are you planning on using a thicker headgasket? it all depends on how much power you are planning to make.

AEM EMS is the engine managment mostly used on boosted S2000s. I think they have K-Pro now but i think its almost as much as the AEM if im correct

go to s2ki.com and you'll find a lot of info there than you would here

 

jesus this is news to me, didnt know S2Ks were boost friendly....i thought the high revving high compression motor wouldnt be any good, than again i didnt know s2k has forged internals...wow might be my next car, id be happy with 400whp daily on stock motor damn

well my plan of action is to use the blowzilla turbo that i have now that used to be on my LS. i only want to use pump gas and if i could have a 500HP-600HP daily id be happy. my only fear is the rear diff. if the motor can handle it then great i didnt know the internals were forged. is it sleeved from the factory too? i dont mind changing the clutch but i dont want to blow out the rear end at all. or ruin the tranny. i dont want to spend a TON of money but i have about 5-6 grand i really want to spend but 10K is my max for unforseen expenses or any additional costs.

 

When looking for a turbo, dont forget to look into the Borg Warner S300 series. They're great turbos especially for the price.

 

Trackmasters is finishing a custom turbo setup for my friends s2k. He went with Kpro, inline pro manifold, gt3076r, and a PWR water/air setup. Should make some pretty good power. He's going to be running 400-450whp on pump which should come around 15-17 psi on a dynojet.

Kpro was expensive because it requires using a rsx ecu, then you have to buy several sensors, and a rsx valve cover. All the required parts are listed on hondata.com It ended up being $1700 if i recall.

I'm thinking he has about 7k in his setup but that was everything from gauges, injectors, fuel pump, to the apexi 3" custom exhaust he has on it.

what site sells these for a GREAT price? lol

 

If you are on a budget just use this: http://www.aempower.com/ViewCa...D=116

Cheaper then hondata S300 or AEM standalone but doesn't have as many features. Just the basics to retard timing and adjust fuel for larger injectors from what I've gathered.

 

Check TempestRacing.net they have great prices on Borg Warner turbos.

what "feature" does this lack compared to the AEM EMS and is it worth getting over the AEM EMS? also is this a standalone or piggyback? i hear piggybacks will only let me tune to a certain injector size and/or hp level.

 

bump

 

Not sure I have never tried it. It is a pretty new ems and its a piggyback that works with obd2 ecu's unlike there standalone unit. You will probably want to contact AEM to find out the pros/cons as not to many people have tried running it yet to my knowledge.

alright sounds good thanks spooled. you think that blowzilla is a good turbo for the s2k though? i mean the borg warner sounds tempting and everything but i just done know about spending 500 more dollars when i already have a decent turbo. i just want to make 500-600 hp on the s2k since it will be my daily either year round or in the summer depends if i move to Houston or not.

 

I'm not really familar with to many turbos outside the GT series. Someone else might be able to answer that question. If you already have a turbo then and money is a factor it would make since to use what you have. Just make sure whatever manifold you buy is flanged for that type of turbo.

Also I wouldn't feel very comfortable running over 450whp on 93 octane fuel.
