Miata > S2000
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know how potent a 11psi setup can be. The other night I came across a Supercharged ( Vortech SC w/ water IC ) 01 S2000, and he wanted a piece of my miata sandwich. We had about 5 runs or so from 2nd gear to the end of 4th and every time I was about 2 cars ahead of him. This was completely impromtu, he just pulled up beside me downsifted and motioned that he wanted a race....lol. Me and my friend who was driving with me (SR20 S13 w/ a GT2871R @20psi) were just like WTF, and then we all raced...it was really neato.
He said that he ran a 13.4 @ 109 in the 1/4 ( 2.4 60' ), and made 307whp on a dyno. My car was running 11psi on pumpgas, with just a moderately sized GT3271 turbo. This shows you how potent our little cars can be. I might be making 250-260whp and the lightweight aspect of this car just makes that 250 feel so nice I hope this post is permitted.

As much as I like s2000s I hate the tourque curve!!! Way to use it towards your advantage!

Yep- I was the same way. Drove my pal's first gen. Looking forward to it after hearing him rage about how quick the car was. I kept waiting for the torque.
Nice kill. I thought a supercharger would do something for an s2000, but I guess at 2800lbs, there's still a lot of metal to get moving. Where was the sr20 s13?

The centrifugal 'chargers in the Comptech and Vortech kits for S2000's only mimics the stock car's power delivery...actually, it even exacerbates the feeling, what with its quadratic boost curve. That's why so many people are clamoring for BRP's S2000 kit with the positive-displacement 'charger's linear curve.

Hondas can have torque, they just need to not use shitty forced-induction devices like centrifugal superchargers. I don't know why you'd ever want one when you could have something like this for the S2000: http://www.brperformance.com/Merchan...Category_Code=
