After swearing never to do another ghetto kit, I failed to change my aberrant ways!! I'm always looking for the cheaper route when people say that things can't be done...like turbocharging an S2K on a budget! Well, after using my resourcefulness, patience and resiliency I am almost complete this kit...well, it's drivable but the fuel management hasn't been installed yet and if I do drive it, I have to make sure I'm driving like a nana!!! :rofl:

Here are the photos:

What do you mean bust? That car is STILL running!!!! And the bloke who bought it is loving it! I beat so many cars in that thing...mind you the rudiments of the project were a bit tumultuous but in the end, it bore some fruit...some really interesting fruit!! ;) :rofl:

Nor are his sideskirts made from Home Depot rain gutters painted with a can of spraypaint.

Out of curiousity, how much does a F20C cost? I'm sure you've looked it up by now... :devil:

Yup yup and as far as I know, he's loving it and boosting all around town! (knock on wood) it will run forever! haha
Apparently he's got some good kill stories in that car already!

Hey hey...it was 5 cans of spray paint and some primer!! Don't short change me like that mate! ;)

And yes, you know I've been looking into F20C replacement costs but I'm so sure that my "TUNERS" are competent enough to get my car running well...or I may have been mislead when at least one of them was too trollied at Calgary Court to even know how to spell tuning! :devil:

ask him about a blue 240... It was a kill story... just not in his favor ;).

I thought I recognized the car. I was waving like a maniac and doing the poosie face hahaha.

looks sweet! Have you looked into replacing the rear differential? That part might not hold up

LUDELVR

Well, this was a budget build so I was trying to keep costs down as much as I could. After all said and done, I spent twice as much on this kit than I did with my prelude kit!!!! I really enjoyed spending only 1200 bux for my prelude turbo kit all said and done! ;)

As for the price of the turbo kit for the S2K, that includes pretty much everything from the turbo right down to the nuts and bolts holding everything in. Oh yeah, it also includes the new oil and coolant put in this weekend.

Just need to install the injectors, fuel pump, engine management and fuel pressure gauge.

What? You don't think the S will respond well to it! ;)

No no, I'm going with the Greddy Emanage Ulitimate this time, with an in tank pump and some 675 cc injectors. Read some info and saw some good numbers for what I want it to do. Should be good if I can get one of my tuners to stop getting so hammered and the other to pay more attention to me and stop calling me Mr. 4"!!!! :devil:

Looks fun. I remember the 1st time hearing your lude, pulling into the parking lot at that theater up north, I thought your car sounded just like the green eclipse in F&F1.
