Company & Production Status
Stage One Tuning (SOT) was a division of Barker Products for whom I worked for. With the down economy and some business issues with Barker Products, they decided to refocus their energies back on their core business lines (hydraulic power units, lift units, nuclear test equipment) and ceased the continued operations of the "car stuff", aka SOT. Obviously that means the production of S2000 & Miata supercharger kits ceased. I was thus laid off from Barker Products. Because of my long time friendship and relationship with the owners of Barker Products, I have taken over the SOT website myself.

My goal is to continue selling supporting mods (clutches, radiators, etc.) through the SOT site as well as to continue as a point of contact for existing supercharger kit owners in case they need hardware support, replacement, etcetera. I was a part of the very first production MP62 kits for the Miata and I've been building the Miata supercharger kits since 2002; and of course the S2000 kit since it's release. What I can't to is continue to act as a manufacturer of supercharger kits.

Kit Availability
After receiving multiple inquiries on the availability of S2000 MP62 supercharger kits, I'm pleased to announce that I am able to sell MP62 supercharger kits for the S2000, but only for as long as there is still adequate inventory available! The kits are officially not in production.

Through my relationship with Barker Products I have access to the remaining kit inventory. There are some sub-assembly items that would need to be ordered once a supercharger kit order was placed. Many of these components are items that I normally didn't put into my stock as my supplier most always had them on the shelf or available on short lead time.

Ordering these components in order to complete a kit would require me to collect at minimum a deposit on the kit in order to pay for those items and get them in stock. Again, I can't get into the business of manufacturing kits and financing it. So, your deposit would be used to purchase those needed items to complete your kit. Once I ordered and paid for them, they would be yours. I couldn't accept an order cancellation nor offer you a refund. I simply have no use for ordering new S2000 kit parts.

Deposit amount? That will vary depending upon when you ordered a kit. The first few to order will have a lower deposit amount (and shorter wait time) because I will have more items already in stock (such as the MP62 blower itself). A good guesstimate would be around $1,500 - $2,000 deposit for the first few kits.

What Is/Isn't Included
These kits would be what was referred to as a "Tuner Kit." That is, they include only the hardware portion of the kit and have NO engine management (EM) components included. There are numerous forms of EM available, but the most commonly used has been the Greddy E-manage Ultimate. More specific EM requirement details & suggestions are posted below, but in short you would need to source your own EM (ie, Greddy E-Manage Ultimate), fuel injectors, fuel pump, and spark plugs.

The hardware portion of the kit would include everything you need such as the MP62 blower with mounting brackets, PWR w/a IC, all sub-assemblies, required mounting brackets & hardware, crank & nose pulley, belt, machined OEM crank pulley, full-color printed instructions, CD with instructions as well as high-resolution images of the installation process. See the image gallery at the top of this page for many images of the kit's components! One kit variation would be if you want to remote mount your battery in the trunk, or if you want to purchase an Optima battery and have it mounted in the engine bay (this is the option that I highly recommend!).

Where to Purchase
I am the only source for these kits; there are no longer any distributors. Due to the deposit nature, special order status, and customizing options that you may have, I have disabled on-line ordering for these kits. Please use the Contact Us page to let me know of your interest in a kit. I will then be able to give you the most current and up-to-date information on order process and time frames.

Tuning & Engine Management Help
The S2000 community is blessed to have Mark Deppensmith (see his car here) actively involved and willing to offer his experiences and expertise in getting your S2000 tuned and running. Mark has assisted many existing customers with the Greddy E-manage Ultimate (and others) setups, including providing dyno tuned maps for you to begin with. These maps were developed with many, many hours of dyno time, street time, and track time into them. Mark has graciously offered to assist new kit owners if needed.

Please note that Mark is not employed by Stage One Tuning, Barker Products nor Static X Motorsports (previous distributor). He is simply an enthusiastic S2000 owner with the SOT MP62 supercharger kit and he's willing to help you if needed.

Thank you!

Quality & Design

The first thing you will notice when you receive your supercharger kit is the quality of materials and manufacturing. From our laser-cut and tig-welded brackets, to our CNC machined adapters and mounts, to the clamps,hoses and belt, our kit uses quality materials. Furthermore, we've been manufacturing supercharger kits for years and have established long term relationships with many of our suppliers. These suppliers are right here in the United States of America. They provide quality service and/or products to us and we reward them with continued business instead of always looking for the cheapest supplier of the month or looking over seas for cheap manufacturing. This commitment supports our regional small businesses and assures us of quality components in a timely manner.

Our supercharger kit is commonly referred to as a "Hotside" supercharger. This nomenclature is used to describe the location of the supercharger unit on the exhaust side of the head. This design allows us to reduce the installation time and cost as compared to a replacement intake manifold. The hotside setup also provides plenty of room for an efficient intercooler to be installed for even more power. The end result is an efficient supercharger kit on the market with upgrade potential and a less complex installation.

Driving

Our EATON MP62 supercharger features a vacuum actuated bypass valve that opens when not in boost, allowing air to flow around the supercharger. This means your gas mileage is virtually unaffected when you are not in boost. Previous customers report only losing 0.5mpg highway with their kits installed. Some have even reported gas mileage improving! This also means that, under part throttle, your S2000 will drive like it always did.

Of course, all this changes when you get on the accelerator pedal. The actuator closes and the MP62 goes to work to produce the smoothest power possible. Power is significantly improved throughout the entire RPM range to produce a driving experience like no other. The neat thing about the Stage One Tuning Supercharger is how well it adds what has been missing from the S2000 -- low rpm torque! Typical results can have an S2000 seeing over 300+ rear wheel horsepower and 200+ wheel torque on a Dyno dynamics at an average of 5.5 - 6.5 psi. We're not talking peak torque numbers here, we're talking approximately 200 wheel torque across the RPM range. Like we said, this kit adds what has been missing from the S2000!

Reliability

The S2000 is one of the most reliable sports cars you can buy. We knew that reaching this same level would be tough, and we are certain we have risen to the challenge. For starters, we chose the Eaton MP62 blower as the centerpiece of out kit. This is the most reliable supercharger on the market today, and has been used for countless years by Mercedes, Ford, GM, BMW (Mini), Nissan, and Jaguar to name a few. These blowers are internally oiled and under normal operating conditions require zero service for 100,000 miles.

To drive our supercharger we use our 6-rib belt drive and automatic belt tensioner system. The 6-rib provides more grip on the pulley, allowing us to use less belt tension, and extend supercharger bearing life. The auto-tensioner assembly not only increases belt life, but makes changing belts a breeze. All of our 6-rib nose and crank pulleys are CNC machined from billet aluminum. Each pulley is precision machined to the tight tolerances required for proper fit into the S2000's crank pulley or the shaft of the EATON MP62. As always, proper tolerances for sheave and groove dimensions have been engineered into the design for proper function with v-ribbed belts.

We have early kit adopters who have been running their bolt-on street kit for YEARS and have seen over 60,000 miles of street driving, track abuse, autorcross abuse, cross-country drives and all with no failures. We believe BETA testers and early kit owners have put our kit through it's paces and have proven to reliable our kit is.

Ready for even more information?

Would you like to learn even more about the kit? Have some questions? We've listed below additional information and answers to some of the more frequently asked questions.

The MP62 Supercharger & Supporting Hardware.

SOT supercharger kit uses the Magnuson MP62 supercharger for its compact design and performance which provides the best balance between boost response, boost pressure, and the packaging constraints in the S2000 engine bay. The Magnuson MP62 supercharger is a hybrid of the Eaton roots style supercharger. These units are known for their efficiency, durability and reliability. So much so, theyre virtually the only original equipment superchargers in use today. Youll find these supercharger units are the choice for OEM applications on vehicles from GM, Ford, Toyota, Lotus, and more. As such, the SOT supercharger units meet all OEM durability criteria, such as the 100,000 mile OEM vehicle durability tests.

SOT took all of the experience from designing and manufacturing Mazda Miata supercharger kits and applied that experience during the design stages of the S2000 supercharger kit. The kits supporting hardware consists in part of laser cut brackets and components that are e-coated. This coating process is one that automobile manufacturers use for parts that are not exposed to ultra violet light long term. This finish also has an excellent salt spray characteristics. Aesthetically, the finish greatly compliments existing OEM components under your car 's hood as well as compliments the anodized aluminum components of our kit. The CNC machined aluminum components of the kit (such as th big throttle body) are black anodized; the kit also contains zinc plated hardware and quality silicone hose connectors.

PWR Air / Water Intercooler

The intercooler kit included with the S2000 supercharger kit is made up of components from PWR, the leading manufacturer of Air to Water Intercoolers in Australia. With over 25 years in the industry, PWR has been providing OEM replacement radiators as well as high performance radiators, intercooler cores and coolers to the aftermarket industry and racing series such as the V8 Supercars in Australia.

The PWR intercoolers have been used with great success on everything from daily driven 225 hp Mazda Miatas to high horsepower drag, road, and GT race cars. During the beta testing we have constantly seen intake air temps (IATs) at or even below what is often seen on naturally aspirated S2000 roadsters. Our closed water to air intercooler system is performing very well and also has the added benefit of minimizing the amount of throttled air volume. Typical IATs in Boost (after stead state condition are reached) average 10-12C above ambient

Engine Management (Included with the Full Kit Option).

The Greddy E-manage Ultimate with a plug and play harness is the standard engine management included with the full kit. The E-manage Ultimate provides the necessary tuning features without over complicating the install and tuning process. The E-manage Ultimate will come with a full unlocked base-map. This base map was extensively tuned and tested for over a year and has been abuse tested at various Auto Cross Events and cross country drives. This base map will be unlocked and fully accessible by your local tuner assuming he has the appropriate E-manage software and access to a loaded dyno.

Engine Management OPTIONS

Greddy pressure sensor w/ harness provides greater pressure resolution then Stock MAP sensor is strongly recommended. The Static X Motorsports S2000 is using the Greddy pressure sensor to run everything including the stock ECU.

Greddy A/F plug (used for A/F feed back features requires use of a wideband with 0-5v output). Also strongly recommended, it allows real time fuel adjustments in boost similar to what the stock computer does in close loop but now in boost. This keeps your Air/Fuel ideal for varying conditions.

PLX SM-AFR (no gauge ) wideband
*PLX SM-AFR +DM-5 gauge and wideband controller
*PLX SM-AFR +DM-100 Organic LED Digital Gauge and wideband controller
*Gauge mount or A-pillar gauge pod mounting.

Injectors & Fuel Pump

The full kit will come with either a set of 550cc OEM Manufactured drop in injectors or a set of 550 RC injectors (your choice) and a Walbro 255GHP Fuel pump (Model 342). The 550cc OEM injectors ARE NOT modified original equipment injectors these are brand new injectors that come from the manufacturer which Honda uses to supply the original S2000 stock injectors. Even at 330whp the Static X Motorsports S2000 consistently sees duty cycles in the 72-75% range due to the more efficient spray patter on thes injector then on the RC injectors.

Spark Plugs

Any spark plug that is one step colder then stock ( Heat range =8) can be used.

NGK 2668 (Resistor)

For hotter climates greater then 100deg F ambient air temps it is recommended to use a plug with a Heat Range of 9 (two steps colder then stock)

NGK 2669 (Resistor)

Questions & Answers.

What are the typical performance gains? Typical results are in the +200 WTQ and +300 WHP on a Dyno dynamics at an average of 5.5-6.5psi. [126mm pulley]. Both the AP1 and AP2 will have about the same peek HP numbers with the AP2 coming in with a slightly higher TQ number.
Can I use my stock Clutch? The stock clutch will work fine with this setup assuming you are not doing 6,000 RPM clutch drops and you are shifting correctly.
Which versions of the S2000 is this available for? The kit is compatible on non Drive by wire s2000s only.
How does the Stock differential hold up to this much TQ.? Its more about the driving style then the capacity of the differential itself. There has not been any reported problems with any of the AP1 or AP2 beta testers differentials.
Is it required to relocate the Air Conditioning lines to install this kit? Yes and No. You have a couple of options here. The A/C lines over the exhaust header area can either be carefully bent out of the way, or they can be removed and replaced with a set of custom lines from an A/C shop in your area. Leaving the factory lines will certainly make the mounting of the supercharger more difficult, and the space around the supercharger assembly will be quite tight once the installation is complete. The instructions include images for the various setups that the beta testers implemented. These images and notes will be very useful to your local A/C shop in gauging the work and components required in order to give you an accurate estimate. From my experience, we recommend shopping the quote around as it can vary greatly from one shop to another.
Will I need to run a thicker engine oil with this kit as is suggested with turbo kits? With a Roots style supercharger the lubrication system is self-contained and does not need any sort of feed from the cars standard oil system. We do recommend a hi grade 10W-30 or higher full synthetic oil.
Am I required to run a catch can with this system? No. However, if you want to run one I can get the information/contact to you to show you how to properly interface a catch can with this supercharger kit.
I have crank vents how do I install them? / Can I use Crank vents with this supercharger? You can use crank vents. Installing them should be straight forward. A DIY write-up can be done on crank vents with the SOT kit since some of the vacuum lines are rerouted with this kit.
