Mase kit every time!

Somebosy on here had the Greddy kit and upgraded to the Mase kit IIRC.

Much better quality components and the option of getting much more power from the Mase kit. Added bonus of one of the best mappers of the S2000 working on your S2000!

How about one by ABB?





2 bar charge air pressure at 514rpm. All you need is 12 more cylinders, a slightly bigger engine and US$30m and its yours




(these turbochargers are used on the P&O Cruises ship Arcadia, the engines are V16 Turbodiesels which drive alternators, capable of generating electricity at 11KV, 60Hz, 600A, 11MW. Arcadia has 6 of these Diesel Generator)

it all depends on what you want out of the turbo

Jay (lucky77) used to have the greddy kit, he upgraded the turbo, aem ems and had a second manifold, custom downpipe and exhaust and meth injection and just made 350whp, however without the meth he made 320 whp and that was maxed, i would say the kit was at the limits and worked the engine

he has since gone to the mase kit ( which i fitted ) he now has 410 whp, at 11 psi, where as the greddy was at 14-16psi

he is alot happyier with the car now, i have driven his car with both kits and i will say the greddy kit was short sharp kick but for everyday driving you would stay in boost alot, the mase kit he has is far better and easyier to drive with, he has 260ftlb which pulls well, i drove it a couple of days ago and has minimal lag


my kit i have is the orginal mase kit so cant really compare to his new kit, plus mine is slightly different due to larger piping, bigger turbo etc,

Mase kit if you are going turbo IMO and have the cash

I suspect the greddy turbo would have a different delivery of boost compated to the Mase Kit (spool time etc), what's the Mase kit based on a Garrett t25 or something?
