Well i bought the car back in may, The only thing that was done to it was some cheap 18" wheels, tein coilovers, aem intake, and invidia duals. Nothing much really. It was a huge step up from my ek hatch with a stock b18c1 gsr swap. But as the months went by i got tired of the slow acceleration until vtec. So i thought about going the supercharger route, but have always wanted a turbo setup. So thats what i did. Thought about the best setup i could do on a stock motor, and called Full Race and picked up theyre s2000 turbo kit. 3 Weeks later i ended up with around $8k give or take in parts..here is the mod list

The Car is amazing. It drives and idles like stock, but has a ton of power to have fun with. Any questions?

 

cool beans get some beter wheels though

 

nice clean setup!

 

yea theyre not my pick either. but i got alot of money wrapped up in the turbo setup, my wallet needs to rest a little bit. besides it will be snowing in pa in a month or 2. so spring i will hook it up on some volks prob

 

nice power man! i went ptuning kit... i plan get tuned by jon...

 

nice what are your power goals? head gasket? meth injection?

 

very nice work. as someone else mentioned i'd look into different wheels, but other than that its pretty nice!

 

When you have this much power, is the Vtec change still as prominent??

 

looking good. cant go wrong with full race. how much boost?

 

WOW, great work. Very clean and unsuspecting. Make sum vids!

 

Vtec is lowered around 4800 I think. You can't even hear the crossover. If your not in boost, you will be when vtec is engauged. It's set at 11psi, tuner said I could of went higher, but 440whp was way more than I planned. So I stuck with that. As for wheels I'm looking for a set of work emotion xd9s.

 

i forgot about this site lol. i made 434whp on 12 psi gtx30r turbo stock 2.2 93 oct running strong for 9 months or so

 

nice turbo manifold

 

That is an awesome kit! looks fun.

 

Very nice setup! Though I'm curious to why you did not just use an AEM boost solenoid and have you EMS take care of boost controller setting and set up boost per speed. This way you can ramp up boost pressure as you build speed reducing traction issues.

 

I'm curious to see how the rear end held up?!

 

The car is mine now were very good friends had almost a year and put like 3k on it since his 2k im currently changing the turbo setup going bigger but the rear end held up fine! I even tracked it one night blew second gear out but everything is still bone stock and held up great changing some things this year ill update it all on here as it goes just seen this old post and wanted to let people know how much of a beaten the stock stuff can take!

 

sexy! I need more time with mine too!

 

That is crazy power out of 2L. How reliable is that suppose to be? Can you take it the track on a 100F day and flog for 30 minutes at a time? Or is more 30 seconds at time and then let the car cool down?

 

you obviously havent seen the S2K from hell...440hp aint nothing...guys are getting 700+hp out of the stock motor on boost

 

Thats so long ago. A tire blew out on that car and he put it into a wall. Hes was last re building it too be a full out drag car. I believe someone is making 800 on a stock motor now.

 

Are these drag motors only? Can you DD and take them to a HPDE?

 

It's stock motor out of the factory.. so of course you can DD. Not drag motor. They come with forged internal from factory.

 

lol have fun trying to put 800hp down at a hpde

 

Usually what makes a great high rpm N/A motor is opposite for a boosted motor.

Is the F20C the new king of boosted 4 cylinder motor? I know EVO can put down a lot of power. Seems like the STIs starting having problems above 350 rwhp and that motor came from the factory boosted.

Way back in the day when I boosted my fd3s (only 300 rwhp) I could only run maybe 15 minutes at Thunderhill on 100F+ day and then I had to take at least two cool down laps to bring down my temps.

You would have more opportunity on legal track ( no police / traffic ) 30 minutes at time than any where else After every turn is a straight away.

I guess the only good place for 800hp is the salt flats or maybe the las vegas silver start race.
