Do many of you w/ turboed S2's Daily drive/ and or road race your car? I was thinking bout putting a small turbo on my car...nothing crazy. i am not looking for record numbers just a lil extra power. ...but I still have to daily drive my car, and track. I am just concerned with reliabilty issue's.... Obviously I would need a nice oil cooler, better radiator really good engine managment ....and so on.But just wondering if others do this???

 

a few track turbo's S..you just need to factor in extra money for reliable parts

 

If you are looking for a little extra power, I would recommend going with a SC and not a turbo....

 

I do not want to SC......NA or turbo. Reliability of turbo is the only question

 

honestly, i would call up http://www.hardtopguy.com/store/customer/home.php

and purchase the 4.77 final drive rear end..... best bang for the buck, and RELIABLE!

this was the best mod(final drive) i ever made to my type R's ....... and i had been running a tuned Toda B cam setup......

I am curious about the final drive gear myself...going N/A. what about the 4.57? what is the difference between the 4.77 & 4.57?
Thanks

 

I would much rather stay N/a. My previous civic had a built B16 (Jun 3 set up). That thing rev to 10K made 195whp....And I beat the hell out of that all day everyday and never had a problem with it!!! Did you notice a big difference in gas mileage with your gears? I am considering this......

 

Cody from Lovefab road races his turbo S2k.

 

Just have some extra supporting cooling mods for engine oil and coolant and you'll be fine as long as you do everything else right.

honestly, i never really payed attention to gas mileage...... the R was meant to be driven, so i always had my foot in it.....
