The new setup we are doing on Gary's car will require some re-engineering of the lower radiator support structure. It will also necessitate the use of a custom made radiator and we will most likely produce a one off carbon fibre hood to vent the intercooler. The intercooler end tanks will be hand formed from sheet aluminium to give the required shape. It is really a custom POA job. It would not be cheap. I have not even considered it until now, but I guess it would be possible to produce a duplicate kit.
It isn't worth selling the manifold separately. That would make the down pipe and intercooler piping useless. Also, the manifold has a flange that suits the HKS turbo.

"hmmm...how much would need to be done to make this kit compatible with LHD cars? I mean the kit is 8k...and if i had to pay someone to retrofit it...that's craCy! "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you you're asking how much extra work would have to be done? (Or just bemoaning the price?)
Additional to what is involved in fitting this kit to a RHD S2000...
A LHD model would also require the following additional work.
1) Relocate heater valve....
2) Fabricate and install new A/C line
3) Replace battery with smaller unit - eg Odyssey
4) Turn fuse box 90deg
That's it!
The I/C piping is fine, so too is the turbine outlet etc.
If you're unable to achieve the above stated extra work without paying someone...
It'd be pretty safe to say. It's fairly unlikely that you as an individual would be capable of fitting this turbo kit or any turbo kit for that matter. Without having offer someone financial recompense for having soiled their hands...
Gee, that

Ok, fair enough... Sorry for being a bit abrupt.
Honestly it's really quite straightforward to fit...
It would also be supplied with specific instructions as to how go about the installation...
Any competent mechanic would have little if any trouble fitting the kit

"...Australia's fastest ever four-cylinder Honda... with nothing but daylight coming close. Nothing."
Whoa...how does your kit compare to this one?
