Another Australian turbo S2000 *Dial Up WARNING*
Sorry for some of the low quality photos but I've been busy with a few things and have not had a good chance to pull out my digital slr. These pictures were taken by friends.
Car is currently only on 14-16 psi and it's not completed yet
The engine bay is still a little bit messy too...sorry
Thanks to
De Nguyen and the boys @ D&D Motor
Keir Wilson, Peter Hall and the boys @ Willall Racing
Gordon@ AAA Exhaust
and my tuner, Martin Donnon
A few more pictures at the drag last weekend
You can find some of the local fast imports from here

I had a vortech sc setup previously with a 3.8" pulley. With my larger intake plenum, this setup only gave me 14psi and netted 250rwkw (stock is only 125rwkw on our dynodynamics dyno).
Now I can really appreciate what you turbo guys were saying, the turbo is way better than the sc in term of power, fuel efficiency and the way it compresses air. At 14 psi on this new setup, I gained a massive increase at midrange and another 40+rwkw at top end. My fuel efficiency at around 16psi with the turb, with similar driving style, is better than the sc at 14psi.
The downside of the turbo is too much easy power. I had complete 2 runs at the drag the last weekend. I got semi serious the third run; lowered tyre pressure, raised launch rpm to 3700rpm, some extra burnout to warm up tyres and the clutch bited too quick resulted in a broken driveshaft. However, I got good news for you guys with FI s2k. I am in the process of fitting a 180SX diff (aka JDM S13 nissan) to my car. This diff is abundant and cheap in the US and almost undestroyable....unless you want to go into the 8's. The engineering shop I am working with will produce a diff craddle for order later on. It will mount these diff into the s2k directly. So start ebaying and collecting parts guys
You may also want to collect 2x CV joints from the 180SX as well.
Will keep you guys updated re the diff

Re: Another Australian turbo S2000 (js2k01)
headlight washers to comply with stupid Australian laws.
It's also the first thing we disconnect over hereas it gives you a nice shower when the roof is unfolded. It's hooked up to my intercooler sprayer atm....thanks honda au

I am going to have a crack at low 11's and then will keep it as it is after that. I may turn down the boost for track days and hill climbs but that looks so far away at this stage. There so much more work on this car.

Re: (VtecBlissS2k)
It's a custom setup. There is no kit available in Aus as yet.
When it was first done, ie without boost/exhuast leak, boost comes on at around 3krpm, 0.8 bar by 3.5krpm and is kept at around 15psi atm. The turbo is rated at 2.2 bar (30+psi). I am gettting some exhaust leak atm so boost response is not as good.
I babied the diff for 2 runs without burnout and street tyre pressure. I got 13.3, 2.7 06' and trap of 117mph even though I missed third gear. I got a little bit more serious the last run and broke the driveshaft. I hope to get more practice when the Nissan S13SX diff is transplanted.

MC is pretty but you realize we all crave the colors we don't get. Moonrock looks sweet too

Re: (revhi)
No that's Elaug. I waited 4+ months for their skyline R33 GTS-T diff conversion kits but they are still not ready by last weekend.
I am using a local engineering place to do this converion. The local shop, K & A Motorsport, is very reputable and very efficient. They make all sorts of things for professional racing teams in Australia. They also fabricate diff craddles for the V8 racing in Australia. I and they hope that everything will be done by next week. They promised to make a kit for you guys to replace the s2k diff with a S13 diff. All you have to do is get a S13 diff +/- 2 inner CV's and bolt everything in.

It's even more fun on twisty, hilly roads and the highways.
Nice to see your results too sideway. I am glad your compression ratio + vortech working well. When are you going to get the bigger injectors and redyno that beast mate?

The similarity is a topmount turbo location. That's where the similarity end. I might be wrong, but one of the Australian from Hypertune was the first to place the turbo there. The Australians love to mount the turbo there because it's the best location for a largish turbo.
Just for comparision between this manifold and the lovefab
