bah, the comptech kit is the best way to go in terms of easy to bolt on power. The vortech is a little more complicated on install.

 

easy bolt on power is when you go buy a Cobra instead

anyway who you foolin mister anti-boost

diff b/w the cobra and s2k with the comptech kit is the honda will last longer and wont rattle like the cobra after 2 years. Plus, the honda will hold it's value better and is lighter. list goes on and on man.

 

apples to apples

a new s2000 - 33,000
a SC kit - 6000
a clutch to hold the power - 400
tires to put it down - 1000
labor to install this stuff - 2000

42,400

Cobra 39000

3,400 bucks buys alot of go fast parts for the Cobra

I love Hondas but when it comes to boost I'll leave it to engines built for that purpose

 

go TURBO!!!.. the ultimate racing turbo at 7psi pushes 294hp at the wheels and 196ft.lbs of torque, and it runs a 12.6 at 112mph with little extra modifications (exhuast). It's running a garrett t04e/03 turbo, 440cc injectors, greddy e-manage (already tuned), hks blowoff valve, hks external wastegate and ultimate racing intercooler. it's got everything you need to bolt it right in even the oil cooler relocation all for $5500. it's a sweet *** kit..

lol, a SC costs 6 grand? What crack-cocaine are you smoking again? You don't need new tires, the stock S02's are sticky enough in stock sizing. The SC kits can be had for 4 grand, take off the 1000 for tires, and an overinflated price for install and you have a cobra killer that turns better, brakes better, and accelerates almost equally down the 1/4 mile dependent on driver. That **** bucket cobra wont last 2 years and it'll depreciate quicker than the s2000. Admit when you're off the mark dude.

 

um cobra runs a 13.1 not a 13.5 like an s2k on stock tires and with better tires the cobra can run at least a 12.9

2. Supercharger Kit - Aftercooled (00-01 S2000)

$5995.00
350-043

off comptechs web site + the 400 pulley exchange price

Install price includes the clutch

there is a place not 3 blocks from me that charged 2200 for the aforementioned.

Not a ratty *** shop but a profesional tuner

BTW on 18000 miles $31,105 for the cobra in the 2003 model which could be about 2 y/o already 1-3 grand less than new

18000 mile s2000 28,365 same 2003 model year 4000 less than new

BTW at 34000 - 32400 new the Cobra crushes the s2000 and you can spend the difference on the kit making it that much better

your a mark,

*** buster that is

 

not sure on the max psi of the ultimate racing turbo, but go to http://www.ultimate-racing.com

 

go argue elsewhere

When did I speak of an aftercooler kit? I'm talking about the basic kit, bolt and go. The aftercooler was recently introduced for those wanting to run more boost.

 

i wouldnt add any boost to a motor with 11.0:1 or higher compression ratio

 

Comptech SC all the way.

And all this talk about the S2000 being better N/A?

Say that again when that SCed car easily pulls on your *** in the straights after you just dropped $6K on your cute exhaust, intake, header, Mugen ECU combo.

Now it's the turbo setups I find to be quite amusing. What a big waste of dick measuring time. Turbo lag. Tuning till it breaks down again. A bunch of nonsense.

 

Useless posts like these

Nothing wrong with turbo's. All things being equal(tuning, injectors, exhaust, etc.) turbo is a better product. Picking the correct turbo is critical. Makes more power in the midrange than a centrifical blower, just as much up top. If you use a turbo with similar characteristics to the blower, the difference is that the turbo doesn't use power to make power( more or less), and will not have lag. People are so caught up in lag. If you don't go crazy on the turbo size. What most people call lag, is more like a lull. You are making power during that time, it's just that your about to make alot more in another .5 seconds(or whatever).

If I do a rolling run with one of my N/A friends in a hatch none the less, with a GSR motor and ITR tranny vs GSR tranny............we both hit it, go side by side for a second.....he doesn't pull me-I will pull away slightly, a split second later I pull away MANY car lenghts. That's only IF I'm at a low enough RPM to be OUT OF BOOST. IF I am at 4-5k rpms, I pull away instantly.

If your concern is that you want even power as you apex the corner, your afraid the turbo car will have boost come on so abruptly that you can't control it in the corner? Learn to drive better, it's really not that hard to control the power with the right foot.

Anyway..........my advise to you from my limited experience is get what you can afford and either install yourself, or afford to pay to have installed. Most people with the superchargers are happy with them. You need to look at your long term goals with the car, and be realistic. What are your going to do if you blow a motor? Used JDM? Or build it....lower compression would help the boosted application. You need to look at the other parts that are affected by the hp upgrades.....rear end, axels, tranny......do you drag race it alot, or open track....or just a pleasure car.

Good luck

 

"When did I speak of an aftercooler kit?"

Comptech USA does not currently have a list price for one without. Considering installation costs and tuning adding one would go without saying if you really wanted your car to last as ong as possbile

"lower compression would help the boosted application"

this is false,

higher compression is better in all instances. People choose lower comp when they either cant afford decent tuning, replacment parts of have **** octane in there area.

 

"higher compression is better in all instances. People choose lower comp when they either cant afford decent tuning, replacment parts of have **** octane in there area."

Well, thats debatable. If your adding boost, you want more hp, usually on pump gas. 91-93 octane....whatever, lower compression is more hp, being able to run more boost with knock resistance. Higher comp is better throttle response and quicker spool up. Happy compromises are USUALLY in the mid 9:1 to mid 10:1 ratios. It's all a compromise.

EDIT---BTW, I like the higher
