The Honda S2000 is without a doubt an exceptional drivers car. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement! This video captures the installation of a Science Of Speed Stage 1 Supercharger kit on a 2002 Honda S2000 F20C engine. The Stage 1 kit is good for about 100 HP at about 6 PSI of boost, and uses a simple FVM controller for fuel, VTEC, and MAP tuning.
Charles aka Humble Mechanic joined me for the installation, which was a fairly lengthy process (Science Of Speed estimates this to be a 14 hour job). There are certainly scenarios which are helpful to have a friend working with you, like removing the bumper, torquing the crank bolt, and torquing the supercharger pulley. While the engine bay was fairly opened up, we went ahead and replaced spark plugs, fuel injectors, idler & tensioner pulleys, as well as the fuel filter.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
No, the thumbnail is *NOT* a turbocharger. It's the exact same centrifugal supercharger installed in the video (surprising number of comments about this). Also a lot of questions about why I chose to go supercharger vs turbocharger. I've explained the differences and why I chose this route in a video: th-cam.com/video/UUFf4n0MUq8/w-d-xo.html.
Engineering Explained from the angle hard to tell but nice build!
No Amuse twincharging?
Now you need a hardtop and a new hood.
why not just send the charge air straight to the intercooler?
The secondary water loop just stinks of efficiency losses
Nice alternator!
Good times, a completed job, my dude Jason, and BOOST! 💙
You're the man Charles!!
HumbleMechanic you guys rock!!! You are my VW go to guy and have helped me many times. Jason is awesome too. Got my 11 year old son watchin him now.
Perma Dirt...
I'll fly you out to UK to work on my cars any day... Great vid !!!
How do you superchrge your nap in the thumbnail? I want to know how to sleep faster.
When there's a 25 min video, and after watching it you feel like 10 minutes have passed. Now THAT, is when you know you've watched something seriously entertaining. Can't wait for the dyno tuning!
Appreciate the kind words!! I'm excited for tuning as well, it's going on the dyno this week!
I didn't realize this video is 25 minutes, until I saw this comment. Now that's saying something.
Yeah that was a short 25mins, looking forward to the dyno and subsequent test drive impressions!
Holy crap, that was 25 minutes? :O

Engineering Explained Truly random content. I kinda wanna supercharge my truck now, not sure why
I really appreciate that you didn't make us suffer through daily, long-winded, monetized "build" videos like other youtubers do. You focused on the important parts AND made the video entertaining. Kudos to you both. Thanks for avoiding the temptation to flood us with BS just to make money.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I AGREE
This was awesome guys! I'm excited for your first drive video Jason!
"Let's take this supercharged S2000 down this back road" XD
I appreciate how thorough Charles is. You don't really see experienced people put that much attention to detail nowadays.
of course I do, I'm just saying there are way too many people out there who don't.
Have a look at LHT performance, and see what attention to detail really means.
Thanks for not making this a 20 part video
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
“Hondas don’t fail, Charles”. I’m hearing that while looking at my accord, which decided it doesn’t like having coolant anymore
All cars fail lol. Some more often than others, even when you follow all the scheduled maintenance.
Had a Honda in the family for 6 years from new, not a single thing had failed. Not the same story for a Ssang Yong, failed like 5 times in the first 6 year lol. Funny comment btw.
Yep all cars fail. Every brand... every model... all of them ever built. Hahaha. More of a VW joke than anything. Because people always tell me I shouldn’t have a VW because Honda’s never break. :)
@@HumbleMechanic who fails the most on avg and who fails the least, all maintenance being the same?
Its a behind-wheel device failure....
"While you're in there..." - words that can cause panic.
I used to have a classic Mini as my daily driver - and I got it with a burned valve. So, the cheapest fix was to get a second hand head and put it on. Job done (in theory, anyway.) However...I figured I may as well buy the big valve head, as it wasn't all _that_ much more. And once the head was off and I was replacing it with one that flows better, it kinda made sense to change the cam (which that was on my to-do list for the future anyway.) But that meant I also needed to change to twin carbs, new intake manifold...re-jetting and synchronizing the carbs...new complete exhaust, manifold to tailpipe, recurve the distributor...
$3500 and a week later - and my "burnt valve" was fixed. And those words _still_ give me nightmares. :-D
"Honda accura ferrari S2million"
Humble Mechanic and a humble engineer. You guys should do a regular joint youtube series. Would really like to see more content featuring both of you. :D
So glad this video wasn't drug out over 6 episodes like some other TH-camrs.....no shade lol
Haha, giving the people what they want! 🙏 Thanks for watching. :)
Engineering Explained thank you for the amazing content
@@kbdadriftking *dragged out. It's the only language you speak yet you can't even use it properly, while I'm fluent in 4 languages
@@kiyoponnn I don't think he/she cares!
@@kiyoponnn imagine replying to a 1yr old comment to shittalk someone's grammar
Each of these steps seems extremely straightforward...but to pull them all off, together, and come out with a functional and impressive modification such as a 100hp+ boost, is nonetheless an achievement. I say this because I am also a mechanical engineer, but my knowledge doesn't extend much past theory - Jason (with the help of an experienced mechanic) *actually* did it! I am impressed and always humbled; actions speak louder than words! Great work Jason and Mr. Humble Mechanic!
4 days. Not bad. 56 days quicker than the twin turbo install on my mustang! Lol
I had the supercharger kit in my garage for about 6-7 months before opening the box haha. So you probably still win?
Guitarfollower22 lol wtf are you talking about
Guitarfollower22 turbocharging doesnt fit the mustang? Mustangs came turbocharged from the factory like 2 decades before a supercharged one did.
I think guitarfollower22 was assuming it's a V8, which it is. Ford turbocharged the 4 cyl version in the early 80s, of ai recall, and it wasn't very successful. After 2 yrs of going back and forth between supercharger and turbos, I chose turbos for a variety of reasons.
Engineering Explained I don't know? Does 2 yrs going back and forth between supercharging or turbo charging count? Lol. I spent about 2 months going through the boxes of the kit and mocking everything up. Another 3 months on the build itself (granted, only able to do weekends and outside in the Washington weather were factors.)The kit wasn't very good, required a LOT of cutting, bending, deleting, and relocating, and many parts didn't fit together from the same kit. Your kit seems very well done. I think "win" is defined by the lower amount of frustration. Lol
No whiteboard? I feel cheated. :p
Nice change of pace. You and Charles work well together.
Be careful with relocating the vtec make sure it's securely fastened or else all your vtec will leak out into the street and you won't make any power
Bruh
Vapecunt Racing started making standalone Vtec reservoirs
i can say, i didnt rlly take my vtec seriosly until my car was left with only vtc
I love how extensively detailed this was. It's so nice when install videos list all the tools you'll need and thoroughly detail every step. Great video.
He said "home depot motor sports"! 😂😂😂😂 i love that!
Never clicked anything faster
TheJacobShapiro same
It's finally happened!!
Can’t wait to see the dyno numbers!
Same!!!
TheJacobShapiro I didn't have wifi so I had to wait.
Cutest couple on TH-cam.
Ian Jacob it’s true.
I have to say I have been waiting for this video for quite a while and having Charles out to help on the super charger was the icing on the cake. Both channels are awesome and I look forward to each and everyone of your videos.
That airbox is HUGE! Never seen such a large one on such a small car
yea was saying the same thing.. the s2k was eating up that air!!!
Yeah seriously, it's about the same size as the engine lmao
CalypsoNotch408 I think he was talking about the stock one.
Federico Lucchi It needs it to make a relatively large amount of power from the small stock engine
You. Have. No. Idea. How. Long. I. Was. Waiting. For. This.
nadalini1 I waited 19 years
I wish you could see my thumbs down on your comment
This video is a dream come true! Been waiting for you to force induct the S2000. But whats more, is you and Charles, my 2 favorite people, doubled up on the episode. Amazing content!!!
I've been waiting for this since you posted your first video with the S2k. Makes me real happy to see you do it! Hope to get on your level one of these days
Hahaha. It's a boy!😂 So happy for you, Jason! Great job, guys (and highly entertaining) as always.👍
TheMick26 I thought it was hilarious as well. I paused the video to comment and luckily someone else enjoyed that scene.
Did you just assume the gender of the fuel pump?
I seriously thought that was Aaron Kaufman for a second
Me too :-)
I use to think that when i first found him haha
I thought this was my father from Africa .
Me toooo
Kaufman's cousin.
Jason, this was easily one of the most entertaining and informative videos I've watched on your channel. So cool to see a really detailed supercharger DIY on an S2000. Great work, I loved it!
Two of my favorite TH-camrs. You guys are fun and instructive in same time. Hope to see more collabs with Humble Mechanic.
Been watchin ya both for a long time. Both channels contain valuable content and that is a major plus!!!
Thanks, appreciate the kind words!
You are very welcome.
Ron JL White this is my personal favourite automotive chanel. Especially when he and Charles combine their powers.
40 seconds in and I can tell the bearded wonder is a real mechanic. Any experienced tech knows you never assume anything about a build or repair. Famous last words are "oh this will be easy" or "should only take a few minutes".
afrosheenix. Someone asked me to replace the serp belt on his truck, I said no problem, 5 minutes. instant regret! Now anticipating any number of issues lol.
DrewLSsix what's hard is explaining to regular people why you can only ballpark an estimated time frame. Oil, brake and tire changes, no big deal. If you're crawling under a hood for surgery, it's "we'll call you when it's ready".
Hahaha my dad is the worst about this. Working on our own cars or any project his estimate is always "a couple hours". It usually turns into an entire weekend
And Jason skips me again.
Well i did jobs like a engine swap on a 88‘ e30 320i in about 5 hours. and i swapped a freaking wiper motor on a 02‘ VW Sharan in a full day. If you haven’t done the job it can be a nightmare or smooth sailing. You never know till you did it once.
Always entertaining videos from Jason! Loved how thoroughly you went through the process and how neat and clean it was all kept.
When engineering explained and a humble mechanic get together only awesome stuff happens. Great build done only the right way!
The correct title of this vid,should be Supercharging my s2000 in my garage!!you know the new youtube trend
Scirocco ThePunisher what?
Here's why supercharging my CHEAP S2000 was so difficult! (Gone wrong!) (Gone sexual!?!) (Free iPhone X giveaway)
Aleksandr Kamarov that is a five year old type of title.
To remove the bottom pulley
Get a long braker bar
Run it under the car so the frame holds it
Disconnect the coil packs
Bump the starter
It will brake the bolt loss I promise
It's a getto impact my boss showed me I thought it was magic xD
I just use a starter button connected directly to starter solenoid (ignition off!) Hold the breaker bar if you can, sometimes when they unload they can spring back and do undesirable things.But I usually do it from the top, underneath it may not be an issue.
I love seeing you two have fun while working. I'm sure some frustration was had as is always the norm for car projects, but I truly love watching you guys! Thanks for all 24 mins and 41 secs of this video. :)
Good job on the video editing and the tag team commentary. This is as high quality as watching Horsepower TV or any of these other shows where they are doing installs.
You two are both compltetely nuts. In a good way!
Great to see you working so well together. More please!
That is the best video yet. For both of you. You're a good team. Loved the engineer vs technician video too. Loved the check pre hoon.
Nice job, boys.
Awesome to have Charles involved.
Quality work.
What a beautiful car. I always liked the yellow/black combo on a S2000. It looks just sick!
Awesome. Great teaming video guys! Love the build - thanks for sharing!!!
I wish all your videos were this high quality. The information you provide here is very entertaining and educational
I love the fact that you did this I a single video! The two of you make a great team. I am subscribed to both channels. I wish someone made a kit like this for the 2013 VW 2.5 Passat platform. I would love to add some extra power to my daily driver. Keep up the great work!
“Cathastrophic thermal event” is a very nice phrase for “shit is on fire, bro”:D
You make a good team together, between you both there is a lot of knowledge in theory and practice, we can benefit from all of it which has no price tag, you can't buy the type of knowledge you offer for free
I just wanna thank you for the amazing video. I remember asking for a tutorial back when you first bought the supercharger, and you certainly delivered. It was most helpful and the chemistry between you two made sure it was always engaging. BTW, congratulations on the male fuel pump!
Awesome collaboration. Thanks guys.
This was 25 minutes of DIY lovers' delights.
Niiiiiice 😀 Charles also deserves 1,7 mil subscribers guys 👍
Thank you 🙏
You guys installed a supercharger and made at least 12 trips to the auto store in 24 minutes! I should be able to put one on my SUV during my lunch break! Thank you so much for the inspiration! If I hadn't seen you do it with my own two eyes, I never would have believed it could be done!
Ah, there goes the lunch break bell, better get installing. Should be easy, I've got a 45 minute break!!
Awesome channel and videos! Thank you for your hard work!!
I literally just snapped a 3/8" breaker bar in my crack shaft pulley too! I had to go get a 1/2" as well. Great work on the build! Keep it up
Been waiting my whole life for this video.
Good choice on the SoS kit. Great people over there.
Awesome folks, helpful on the phone as well!
Two of my favorite channels. And here they suddenly collab! awesome video!
Awesome video dude! Great built! So far, the best video of this type I saw... Congrats!
Outstanding video! Your editing and arrow-pointing during the video were well-done and most helpful. The tagteam commentary was helpful and made it easy to listen to.
BUT! Jason, you now have added more weight to the nose of your S2000. In order to restore the handling and balance to the car, you must spend oodles of money to replace the entire front in carbon fiber! :-)
Haha, it's actually not all that much added weight. I weighed the entire kit, including all the boxes and such, and it was 60 lbs. That doesn't include the weight that was removed, and there was quite a bit of packaging. So with adding some fluids, I'd guess it adds around 40-45 lbs total.
Nice Job guys! Look forward to the burn out...errrr I mean test drive vids :)
Great to see you helping out my friend!!!
Ive installed the kraftwerks kit 3x and i can say its definitely worth the money and easy to install no major modifications.
I love your videos, everything is in one video versus. 1 video for taking off the airbox, 1 video for running to a problem and 1 video you run to the store to get the parts hahaha, you get the idea.
Dat on screen chemistry tho...
I love you two together. You know your going to get a thorough and intelligent video when either Jason or Humble are on the screen. It’s great to see this knocked out in one video, can’t wait for the dyno tuning. Of course you should have gone turbo, but no ones perfect! 😆
Glad to see you still like posting modding/diy videos along with your purely educational ones
Coming up on 6 months.. would be great to have an update/review/your impressions so far and where you want to go from here
"While you're in there..."
Words to live by. I can't stand putting a used part back on if it's not too expensive to replace while I'm in there.
I love how in depth this is
Nice Job, and excellent tips to prevent anyone making the same mistakes. Tech info is great as always.
HM: THAT'S HOW A REAL MAN DOES IT
EE: *wolf noises*
Charles seems like a really cool dude.
THANKS!
Humble Mechanic! My go-to channel for VW questions -- and I always have VW questions. I own two 2012 VW TDIs, a SportWagen (essentially a Mk. VI Golf with a station-wagon body on it) and a Jetta. I do all the maintenance on those cars myself, with the help of *lots* of Humble Mechanic videos. He's awesome! Happy to see y'all collaborating on a project -- very cool!
You guys rock! Brothers separated at birth, reunited by passion.

Love this team! Good work gentlemen!
You guys are two of the most pleasant car people on youtube and this video was a joy to watch. Jason, you should really go help Charles with one of his many Golfs.
Oh no the bad boys are back at it :)
You use a 3/4 inch for the pulley, make it easier on yourself. Handbrake on and transmission in 6th, and you don't need a pulley holder.
The pulley bearings can be replaced. SKF 6203 2RSJEM
Rolando Tillit struck me as odd that they didn't just replace bearings for a cheaper rebuild. May have come down to speed or availability for the short time they had.
Watched both of your videos before, respectively; you guys are pretty entertaining together. A great idea!
I've literally been waiting for this for years!!!
You guys made that crank bolt look easy.. lol
Haha, it was not! Broke a tool, we stripped some of the head of the bolt off, but finally managed with the method shown in the video.
tfw you supercharge a car in one video whereas certain car youtubers do an entire multi-season series for changing something basic like their lugnuts...COUGH*TJHunt*COUGH
Sir Sparco quality > quantity
Sir Sparco it's called cash cow. If someone has a following of any decent size, they'll put out a video of what they had for breakfast and the notification squad will assemble.
Dont support those losers on TH-cam. Leave em alone. Avoid em like the plaque.
Great job putting this video together and great teamwork too
Real excited for dyno and testing!
"It's a boy!" I lost containment.
But is it a replacement for displacement?
That’s exactly what it is! :)
I mean, technically it's adding displacement....
Yeah man! This makes up for that exhaust video :)
nope lol
Its an enhancememt for displacement
Awesome video can't wait for the rest! Cheers to you both.
Awesome that you guys got together to do this video!!
BRAP BRAP PEWWWWW
WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!..........
vtech kicked in yo
brap brap is rotary!! Wrong motor dude
Insert initial d joke
Turbos go pew supercharger goes wwaaaaaahhhhhhh lol
There's a nice s2000 in Spokane for 10k. 140k miles silver with a hard top. I wish I had a place to store it.
grin and bear it - did you see '07 at Northtown Auto Liquidators? It only has 42,000 miles!!
Yooo! Fellow spokanite!!
Whats up Spocompton
What a good mechanic very thorough great video Jason as always
YEESSS!
I have been waiting for this video ever since I saw your video on the centrifugal supercharger!
You are going to love the conversion, I put a procharger on a customer car at 8psi it was putting out 350bhp at the wheels, really nice power delivery and the only thing that is effected is traction off the line and the first 2 shifts. Awesome car dude let us know what you think of it when you have used it for a while
VIII I get around
VIII I like this guy, talks straight
Al Suri stock? If you mean how it comes in the kit then you can choose from 5 to 10psi
Al Suri oh right, only the big end bolts and main bearing bolts are changed to arp items
i want to share my bad experience with my CRANK PULLEY BOLT...i bought Honda Del Sol and so as fresh owner i asked when the timing belt was changed, they said it has been done before like 7000km, so that was OK (later it was checked so it was true) but first time i hit the empty highway (yes i was speeding on empty highway and i used all my 7200rpms) suddenly i heard only one knock..i go off from gaspedal and nothing was happening, engine was running still (on neutral) after i checked steering if its working i checked if engine is reacting everything seems to be fine and i didnt know what hapend...i still came home on that (cause it might be just a rock you know) so i went another maybe 20km at least and just before i hit parking place i loose powersteering...after i checked the pulley belts i found out that my PULLEY is missing BOLT! i suppose that who ever was changing the timing belt he unscrewed the crank pulley bolt with a pneumatic pistol, so he even used that pistol to tightened the bolt back and obviously it was really bad idea
when i ordered new bolt directly from Honda dealer i get manual where was written like in 5 steps how to correctly tightened the bolt back and there was warning to dont use any gun for that and one step included running engine so to warm crankshaft probably and after running the engine some time, torque the bolt even more...so please (anybody whos reading) dont underestimate the torque specs and please read manuals, they are really useful and contained some important facts
(since i have done it according to manual i havent problem yet) - specially for Honda owners imagine you will loose some part spinning by 7000rpms what damage it could cause and not just to your car!
another thing to the snapped bolt in video, there is really no need to have all the surface cause the tensions/stress are going to zero while you are moving to zero radius....torque is force multiply by distance - so thats why is not important that middle surface of that snapped bold but im sure you know that :)
and my question is how did you damaged your crank pulley bolt? (i know you have to replace it every time you unscrew it but i thought you damaged it somehow in other way)
love this, the s2000 is one of my dream cars
So cool that you too could work together on a very meaningful project. Can’t wait for the dyno and driving assessment. Thanks for making and sharing this video. Joel....
Thanks Joel, glad you enjoyed it! It’s going on the dyno this week so I should have a video on that soon!
