WOW nice numbers thats what I am aiming for 350 to 400whp conservative don't want too much stress on the motor. How many miles have you put on the s2k with that setup?

I know what you mean, I am stuck debating wether to go NA or Turbo atm. But if I go NA I am still going to mod it either way so just browsing on here trying to figure out which route to go before I start dumping money.

once a blue moon ago
03 stock OEM F20C1 +3mm headgasket(dunno if that still counts as stock, but IMO its harder to make power with the 3mm than it is with a 100% stock motor anyways lol)
InlinePRO log manifold + GT3076R at ~16PSI
436whp + 275ft/lb torque
With current stuff available that weren't available a few years ago, I would imagine that you could run close to 500whp safely now on pump gas as far as your motor is concerned, but tranny and diff would need reinforcement if you plan to run it hard. Possibly more with meth injection if you really wanted to push the envelop.

the s2k motor flows pretty well. small turbo , good manifold , good fuel setup and capable tuner and you got your self a great little turbo car.
i wouldn't turbo the s2k, cause its perfect and balanced the way it is.

Currently running a stock AP2 motor with my Custom Blacktrax Turbo set-up.Currently making 442hp/314tq. Thanks Jei, Aki, & Nat!
My first set-up was a UR base set-up and was running about 290hp. I probably put about 5-7k in miles (including 2 track days) before I decided to go all out.
My current set-up I have been running for about 13-15K in miles (including 4 track days). so all in all the motor has seen about 20K in miles under forced induction.

I bought the car with the setup on there already for over 15k, I put ~10k on it myself with a lot of kills lol... felt great and the plugs looked normal. Would have had no issues running it further but I sold it to a friend and it met its demise shortly after. There really is no reliability issue as far as the motors concerned, just make sure you take it to a competent tuner with a good EMS and wideband O2 sensor. I would also highly advise sending the final tune to other well-known tuners for a second opinion on optimal safety/power.
The achilles' heel will be your differential and your transmission's 2nd gear.

Well I figured if I find a cheap ap1 for around 10k or less with high miles, I'm just gonna re-build the motor with low comp pistons and do some internal work possibly head work and slap a gt35r on, but if I get a low mile ap2 then def gonna need a damn good tuner to make it as conservative as possible. I don't want to blow a low mileage motor. I am going on sunday to check out an ap2 if I decide to purchase it I'm gonna start looking for some turbos.
