Don't matter if it's red, black, blue, or green. Vortech, Garret, Paxton, whatever, positive manifold pressure, is positive manifold pressure.

And adding a turbo kit and gaining 100+ whp, compared to pulling the motor, putting in new pistons, intake, header, and exhaust, for 12+ whp isn't really worth it.

I was going to say 9 lbs from a sc should be the same as 9 lbs from a turbo.
(correct me if i am wrong)

[PSiedTSi]

you are correct sir

[integra_gsr98]

Well, sortof. The volume of air being moved @ 9 psi will vary the amount of hp being generated. For instance an s2k with a t25 @ 25 psi will make less power than an s2k with a t3/t67 @ 5 psi.

[92TSIpos]

yeah i suppose if you want to get into detail,but if you match volume of the turbo and sc it should be about the same?

[integra_gsr98]

If flow numbers are similar then psi for psi should be close.

so anyways, very cool mods, bet it sounds badass..... vtec + turbo = wood

By the way im headed to aem for the advanced training feb 2nd.

Who is we? Is this a shop or something I don't know about?

[integra_gsr98]

Shop is Excessive Autosports in Sioux Falls. We still haven't figured out who the bald guy is yet though.

My convertible is 2150 lbs. I think thats pretty light. Now I just need another 200hp.

i'm referring to the nature of the car; the s2000 was built to be a superior-handling, quick car.
in my opinion, any turbo lag will change that. if one were to use a sc, the lag would be less noticeable (keep in mind, i have limited sc knowledge). this is why i feel that n/a is the way to go with the s2000 if it is going to be turning a lot (as i mentioned in the previous post).
also, my statements are completely independent of my opinions on how to make a car faster in a straight-line. does that make more sense now?
