Nice install, thanks for the video. I have this same kit, I went with the GTX3576R turbo though. Just waiting to get my SOS Hybrid 400 clutch installed before I tackle the turbo install. Looks pretty straightforward.
It seems pretty straight forward! Aside from fuel and ecu/ tuning it seems like everything needed you demonstrated in the video. Good stuff man! What size turbo did you end up going with ?
You could probably knock it out in a weekend if you had all the parts. I was waiting on the ECU to come in as well as for the valve cover to get back from powder coating, so the car was down about a month for me.
Debating between this kit, or their supercharger. Also PTuning is in the mix. If you had to go back; would have gone with a different kit and/or supercharger?
I’d definitely still go turbo if I were going to do it again. I love the reliability of this kit and the fitment and install was pretty much perfect so I’d probably still go with this SOS TS max kit if I was going to do it again. The only thing I wish it had would be an external waste gate just because they sound awesome haha. So the external gate is a pro for the pruning kit, but i think the harsh vibrations from the solid motor mount on the ptuning kit would ruin the experience for me personally. If you want more than like 450-500whp the Ptuning kit has a better manifold for it.
its weird seeing the turbo oil drain hooks up to the engine oil drain hole. I'm guessing you screw off the turbo drain fitting near the engine oil drain to drain the oil for an oil change?
Yeah you have to unscrew the -8AN fitting to change the oil. I have since had an actual drain bung welded to the pan so I didn’t have to mess with it when changing the oil.
Great video. I've been wanting to put the Enkei RPF1 wheels on my AP2, but have been warned that the offset would require rolling the fenders. Do you happen to know the offset of your wheels? Doesn't look like you had to roll.
It’s definitely a tight fit, but it went in surprisingly easier than I was expecting it to. I’m kind of mixed about the forward facing manifolds. Part of me would like to switch to one for the obvious reasons (more power, they look awesome, could run an external wastegate), but there are some real cons to them as well (more likely to crack, heat wrapping everything in the engine bay, generally have to move more things to make it fit). If you think you’re going to want more than 450Hp I’d go with a forward facing manifold. If not, the SOS manifold is a great option.
I’ve been told my SOS turbo kit should be in transit within the next few weeks! Ready to swap out the kraftwerks SC kit. Thanks for the video! Any tips on things you added to this kit to make install easier?
Awesome! It should be a good upgrade from the kraftwerks kit. I had 2 issues 1. Make sure the 45 deg fitting on the turbo drain is facing as close to the compressor housing as possible. Mine was a little too far away and I had to take the whole assembly back out because it hit the motor mount bracket. 2. I had to move the intercooler brackets farther back in order to keep the front grille/not cut away most of it. Everything else went smoothly and the fitment of the kit is great.
@@dpgarage4501 ok thanks, going to see if they sell it separately.. i want to do a custom turbo set up using a cast manifold, so that mount will help with clearance.
Overall cost when it's said and done around 10K? I'm planning for this setup also, priced it on their site but; you know how it goes when it's time to install. lol
I hear ya lol. I was thinking 10k and ended up being around 12k including the clutch. Some of that was unrelated expenses (clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, powder coated valve cover etc) and some of it was “I’m already spending the money, might as well do it right” lol. Ended up splurging on the SOS AEM infinity with oil/fuel pressure sensors and install kits.
The power of editing makes it looks easier haha. Kinda hard to say how long it took. The car was down for a month but a lot of that was because I was waiting on parts to come in. If you had everything on hand you could probably knock it out in a weekend.
Did you have any trouble with oil drain back from the turbo tapping in the oil drain plug. Did it smoke because it was having a hard time draining back to oil pan ?
I didnt run it this way long enough to notice a difference. I eventually pulled the oil pan and had a bung welded onto the pan. It was a pain to change the oil with the turbo drain going where science of speed had it.
Great video. How has the oil return line to the drain plug port been treating you? I tried that on my turbo setup (Not Science of Speed) and had issues with back flow and and eventually welded a bung to the girdle. Anyone else running oil return to the drain plug hole?
I didn’t run it that way long enough to really test it out. I pulled the pan to do the oil squirter bolts and when I did that I went ahead and had a bung welded on the pan. That is how science of speed recommended it be done though so I can only assume they tested it.
@@dpgarage4501 have you heard of the timing cover method? I’ve seen hearing on the forums it’s the easiest way to do it and you can easily revert it to stock
Enjoy it while it lasts before the turbo gets backed up with oil and breaks. Thats the wrong place for the return line... You should also delete the stock water cooled oil cooler and put a proper oil cooler on there instead. That will make much more room for the oil filter.
That's where Science of Speed designed their kit to drain to. I can only assume they did their research. I had a bung welded to the oil pan after this video was made because the turbo drain made oil changes a pain.
Do you think I could loosen the turbo/manifold to change out a motor mount or does the turbo and manifold need to be removed? I have solid mounts but want to go back to oem. I should have put oem when the sos kit was installed.
That’s a good question. You might be able to unbolt the SOS bracket from the engine, lift the engine with a jack (unbolt the 2 bolts on the driver side mount too) and wiggle out the mount/bracket assembly. It’s a super tight fit though.
@@dpgarage4501 Similar question but a little different. During the install is it relatively easy to R&R the OEM engine mounts with new OEM mounts? Have you tuned the car and what have your results been? My kit ships in Aug.
Hard to say really. The car was down for like a month but a lot of that was waiting on parts to come in. If you had everything on hand you could probably knock it out in a weekend.
@@gray_ghost5.738 so far it’s been awesome! The power comes on fast and pulls all the way to redline with the gt3582r turbo. I went the e-tuning route with a tuner who specializes in s2000s since I don’t have any reputable tuners near by. But it was a fairly painless process.
@@dpgarage4501 what e tuner did you use. I have a 2000 s2000 with 8400 original miles yes 8 thousand 400. And I'm scared to death I will blow it up lol 😆

Black charge pipes look like they’re meant to be there, especially considering what you’ve done to the valve/coil covers. I love the subtle look.
Great work you put into this. Definitely a quick reference when I go boost eventually with the exact kit I’m wanting.
Awesome man. Be sure to post some vids when you get yours done!

SUPER clean install. Wow. I love MY04 and have been tempted to run boost but...
Hope you're enjoying it!

I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks for the video!

Thanks man! Science of speed makes it easy. 9.9/10 fitment. I went with the gt3582r.
Thank you for making this 🙏 clear video and sweet editing by the way
Thanks man!
so clean and for real good job much respect bro!
Thanks man!
Great job on the install and excellent video editing and presentation! What was the appropriate total time it took to do this installation?

Awesome video! Nice job!
How did you manage to keep the grill? I trimmed the areas that you trimmed on yours, but it still seems to hit the inner cooler.
If you’re using the SoS TS max kit, I had to modify the IC brackets to scoot them back a little farther to be able to keep most of the front grill.
Very nice video! Great work!
Thanks!

Seems like a tight fit with this specific tuebo manifold. Would you go with a forward mounted turbo manifold if you could ?
It’s definitely a tight fit, but it went in surprisingly easier than I was expecting it to.
I’m kind of mixed about the forward facing manifolds. Part of me would like to switch to one for the obvious reasons (more power, they look awesome, could run an external wastegate), but there are some real cons to them as well (more likely to crack, heat wrapping everything in the engine bay, generally have to move more things to make it fit).

how much power is it making now?
I haven’t had it on a dyno yet but it should be around 400whp at 14psi on 93 octane.
Did you have to add or change the ECU? Fuel pump? Does this kit need dyno tuning?
Yeah you'll need a bigger fuel pump/ injectors/ ECU/ and tuning.
How long would u say this took u ?
