Major time has been put into the piping and flow of air for the supercharger. The correct radius of the piping is bringing more airflow and results in more power. Packaging is usually the focus when designing a piping system. The S2000 has a good amount of room under the hood, since the engine is set for far back in the car. It seems with some time and engineering the proper setup was am to gain 4 psi of boost for the supercharger. The overall package is very clean and looks almost like a factory offering. So, check out the build to see the evolution of his supercharged S2000 over time. Let us know what you think of the build in the comments.
