i bought a eclipse turbo from my friend and im looking to get it installed on my s2k. im not looking for alot of power just a little fun! taking the cheap route

 

Since you asked my advice, here it is. Ditch the turbo, and buy a Mustang for MO POWAAAHHH. you're gonna fvck up if you take the "cheap route"

 

Let me chim in on this since i'm a turbo junkie.

I can understand where building a "budget" (I would never consider or buy cheap quality parts) turbo kit plays well, if you're doing it to a civic or a hatch.

Let me care to say, NOTHING on a s2000 comes cheap, even less a turbo.

Okay, elaborate on eclips turbo? Is it a stock eclipse turbo? Or a modded turbo kit?

Even so, the piping won't fit. The manifold won't fit. The stock t3 would be on the small side(and internally gated). The downpipe won't fit.

And worst of all, you still need injectors, EMS, tires, clutch, intercooler, bov,

i wouldnt waste my time with a 16G on a F20/22 to small a turbo

 

Stock turbo for a 1g dsm is a 14b, stock turbo for a 2g dsm is a t25. Both of those turbo would be terrible on a high revving engine.

 

S2000 with turbo = not for you.

a good setup is going to run you 10 - 12k

10-12k? Hmmm, I guess so. If you pay for a shop to do all of the work.

yea paying full retail..... 10-12K yea right... that would be the day!

 

It's cheaper for me since I do all my own work No need for me to pay $10-12k for 500whp

 

10-12k is realistic if you add up everything needed actually

factor in turbo kit
clutch
exhaust
tuning and install
appropriate turbo parts
possibly a nissan rear diff...

i priced out a turbo for myself with every possible money related part to go with it.

and it was about 12k

 

8k is really around the cheapest for a quality setup installed and tuned...

 

Well that's why I said its cheaper for me. I install/tune myself.

 

I had the same snail on a ZC motor and it ran out of breath then too.

18G ran out on a ZC????? i think it was driver error

 

14b is the stock 1g turbo, and t25 is the stock 2g turbo. None of the turbo dsm's came with an 18g.

I'm about to error the driver of your car.

EDIT: Dammit Kyle! It was a 16g.

 

 

What's funny is that he drives a MITSUBISHI Lancer Evolution with a... *gasp* 4G63.

 

And he thought that an 18g was the stock evo turbo?

I agree, you dont want to go cheap on an expensive car, unless you really know what you are doing.
