HKS turbo kit
I've seen a few TII manifolds and turbos bolted on to N/As, and I was wondering if a complete HKS upgrade kit (turbo, manifold and all) would fit on an S4 N/A or if it could be made to fit on. Also, other than an intercooler and a custom pipe to run an air cleaner to the turbo, what kind of equipment would be needed for the conversion?

It wouldn't bolt right up, correctly anyways. As of right now there is not a turbo kit available for a N/A FC.
The kit might have clearance issues with the fenderwells as well. You would also need a fuel pump, larger injectors, fpr, and a way to control the fuel (safc), an intercooler, custom lines to supply the turbo with oil and coolant, Ect....
alot of work.
Atkins rotary is working on a supercharger kit that keeps the car fuel injected right now.
Another well known FC supplier is developing a N/A FC turbo kit right now. Search and you will find a thread on it.

That Atkins kit is AMAZINGLY expensive, but I'd consider it, depending oh how much money i can rake in over the summer. Do you think it would be a good idea to run larger injectors and a higher-flow fuel pump on that S/C kit? Also, would I be able to make much more HP than the quoted/projected 178rwhp they plan on making?
And yes, I do know about Dave's turbo kit, it sounds very interesting.

Dude... It CAN... but you're looking at one MAJOR pain in the ***...
the simplest option is to do a TII swap (ecu, engine, turbo, Hood, Trans.. All that stuff
Your Best Option is to get a rebuilt turbo motor, a turbo kit a boost controller and an aftermarket ECU..
I weighed the options of this myself when i had a cherry 89 GTU... I finally sold it and bought a TII with a high mileage motor and rebuilt it, replaceed the ECU with a Haltech and now an in the proceess of designing a FMIC and getting a bigger turbo. Looking back... this was MUCH easier.
My advice is to keep your current car as a daily driver and buy a TII with a blown motor and start a project.. you'll have less headaches in the long run

Have they announced a price on it atkins kit yet? I haven't looked into it lately. I didn't know that it would be makeing 178 whp either. Everything needed for the atkins kit should be included in it. So I would assume pump and injectors would be included.
The HKS kit is probably capable of well over 300 whp. But isn't the HKS kit $3000 itself anyways?

Just checked:
Atkins FI S/C kit: $3800ish, 176whp on stock injectors. Capable of 260whp with upgrade fuel system.
That is alot of money. I was expecting 2200-2500 range. That sux.

Alright, I think I'll probably go supercharged. The reason I think the Atkins kit is estimated at such a high price is because I think they're going for a CARB exemption order, so that would be a plus for me, as I live in California. Also, I wouldn't imagine so many issues would come up as it comes to cooling problems, so until I start getting into serious, track-day racing, I think I could keep the stock radiator. Also, since I have 9.4:1 rotors, I wouldn't be able to make huge boost without swapping the rotor assembly out. 260 on a supercharger seems quite reasonable and seems like it would be more than enough power.

that hardcore kit is nassssty - there a very simple reason why nobody bought it (it's crap). lets say you pieced something like that together and the car ran...cool, good cheap DIY. but I wouln't pay money for that "kit". It's no longer offered as far as I know...the only one out there is that one on the website for the owners car. yuck

There's a really easy to tell if the HKS kit will fit an NA: measure. Simply measure the distance between the inner flange and the part (probably the compressor) that sticks out the most. Now measure the depth of the stock NA lower intake...If it is thicker, then you will need to space the manifold out from the block. Note that this can cause issues with the fender.

don't go putting a supercharger and or turbo on a NA that has high mileage and expect it to run long. Someone already advised that the swap is the best way to go or buy a t2. That type of money for 260hp is a joke. Also the NA tranny and clutch won't hold 260 so you are basically trashing your entire NA drivetrain.

On the TII swap, what will I need outside of an engine, transmission, and ECU? Also, how much would the conversion cost in total? I have an '86 base model. I was also wondering if I could go to a referee station and still pass smog with the TII swap.
