S2000 Turbo part 2
- Thread starter J7
- Start date
After lots of hassle in the past with other so called tuners, I went to APT of Norwich and they sorted out the running, the engine was re-built by Scholar who did a great job, so now running a 2.38 litre NA running ITB's, 240 at the wheels approx 280 Bhp at the flywheel 205 lb Ft torque, not huge amounts but enough.

I'm sure J won't mind me saying, but he's now got a MASE turbo conversion & MASE will be mapping it (think weekend I think?)
He's binned the methanol too.

I'm sure he mentioned something silly like 500bhp last weekend when I saw him 
:lol:
I'll be speaking to him later Nick & might be popping down to see what she makes.
I'll get some more details mate
Phil's makes over 600 @ the wheels iirc

Yeah, no worries man
I'd say alot of it is down to the mapping tbh Chris.
But I've seen Phil's on the road at normal speeds & looked to behave like any other S2K.
Yup, still RWD

Mine squirms a little now when I hoof it while overtaking (hitting the white painted lines in the middle of the road) that gets my ass twitching I tell you.
I'd be scared to go WOT :lol: .

Nomnomnom.... But then if J's is rumoured for 500 that's hardly shabby! :shock: Looks beautiful too

A classic example of chasing figures rather than reliability.

White lines are evil in the wet Nick, but what tyres you running?
Why you say that Stu?
J's ran 350bhp on his old set-up, but it's just not as good as MASE's bolt on kit.
The boost is gear dependant, so you'll get full power say @ WOT in 6th.
There are some running 800+BHP
Phil's S2K made over 600BHP with over 100K on the clock on OEM internals.

The tyres on teh car are ****, but brand new Lee. Its what came on the car.
Im looking to source a decnet set of spares and put some proper rubber on them, but Im not paying silly money for them so its taking time.

I am not saying it is a bad thing, but how drivable do you think a 600bhp RWD car is going to be in the UK

Fair one then dude, makes perfect sense to me.

I don't anything above 100BHP is really that useable in the UK now tbh Stu.
But I suppose people run & modify cars to such lengths because they enjoy it. I'd say if they were chasing numbers then we'd see figures much higher tbh mate.
