the greddy kit will get you to 300whp with ease and its pretty straight forward, but you will also need some tuning via aem or kpro. IMO aem is the way to go here. the kpro involves alot of parts changing on the engine and will make emissions a nightmare.

superchargers are a waste of time and money IMO

AEM EMS sucks (I had it), Kpro is the way to go. If you go with AEM EMS you will not pass emissions or have check engine lights. Kpro is well worth the few extra dollars and your car will run smoother. Ive been on AEM EMS, Kpro, afc neo and greddy emanage. kpro wins.

The new AEM is a good system, if you know how to use it. I too had an older aem ems a few years back and did not like it at all. was to difficult to tune imo. the new software is alot better and the new hardware is faster and has more to offer

car will not pass emissions with kpro or aem ems BUT with the aem you can just put your stock injectors in and stock ecu and have it scanned and it will pass then slap in the big injectors and aem again and your good to go. if you run kpro you need to swap all those sensors and engine parts back out to stock and then put the stock ecu back in and then put all those engine parts back in with kpro to boost again. just to much work IMO. and people are having great success with the new aem with the right tuners

Well, a small turbo seems more worth it, as boost can be controlled via wastegate. with 300whp, lag is minimal. Can be tuned to be a little leaner during low throttle and low rpm to save fuel. I have experiece with hondata. Very good system. with a super charger kit, you are limited, while a turbo kit can upgraded if ever you want more than 300whp.

with kpro you only need to install 5 parts and you can pass with kpro... Im taking emissions in 3 months with a 4 inch down open pipe and 1000CC injectors with Kpro. Im going to pass no problem....

supercharger's just fit so perfect in the s2k bay!!! and with most kits (i.e. vortec comptec) its a bolt on and go and requires no aem or kpro. i test drove and 04 with vortec kit and it actually suprised me...........

A turbo doesn't necessarily require a stand alone engine management, the S2000 you test drove had a FMU and/or geddy emanage and thats never a good idea. If you have a newer DBW S2000, you can use Hondata flash pro.

straight from hondata's website.....

OBDII Scan tools. OBDII scan tools work normally, and is smog compatible. Note that the S2000 K-Pro is not smog legal, and for off road use only.

Its technically for offroad use only but an s2k with krpo can still pass emissions. And all the sensors you swap wont have to be removed in order to do it. Theyre all oem parts anyway so why would you even think you have to remove them?

if all he wants is around 300whp what does potential have to do with anything??? and you can get used supercharger kits all day for 3K on s2ki... so i really dont see your point...

just bc he says he wants 300, eventually every1 wants more, and a turbokit for the sme price will give him a lot more than 300, conservatively, I just hate superchargers on 4 cylinders
