S2000 - Supercharged?

[Daston]

Hey guys,

If all goes well and we get the house up for sale in the winter I shall be on the hunt for a new sports car.

My old man suggested the S2000 as a possiblity and after looking into it some more it does appear to have potential plus the added bonus both the wife and I love Jap cars.

The only thing it seems to be lacking is performance. I am sure it is plenty quick enough but coming from 350bhp per ton it might feel a little sluggish to me.

So I was wondering if any of you guys have experienced the Supercharger kit that TTS supply?

I do love tinkering with Jap cars (performace related mods I mean) and will be fitting the kit myself.

My concernes are the effects this would have on the engine character I don't want to drop one of the main appeals of the engine it's ability to scream at 9k rpm.

So anyone fitted a supercharger and regretted it?

That's one of the reasons I thought about the Honda. With a supercharger it should be more reliable and cheaper to run than the Tuscan was. And as we are looking at starting a family having a car that I can work on and service myself would save some coppers and I won't loose the performance.

Had a look at the tts instructions and got to say they are great I wish I had that level of detail when i did work on the supras lol.

Cheers for the link btw that should keep me sane when trying to sell the house

Is a SC a true bolt on? I was always under the impression you had to rebuild the engine and lower the compression?

Still, for the money I'd be looking at a Z4M roadster.

I looked at Z4MRs and they weight nearly 1.5 tons so the power to weight is quite low. Plus running costs seemed to be quite high with the added "M Tax"

I will be doing most of the work myself (apart from mapping) the one thing I missed with the Tuscan was being able to fettle with it
