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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7t2mZeflbO5oWw.html.

Good times, a completed job, my dude Jason, and BOOST! 💙

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!

Jason's Schedule: Car Reviews / Someday How stuff works / Someday How to fix / Someday List videos / Someday Comedy / Someday Projects / Someday Track / Someday Formula / Someday Others / Someday Engineering Explained, the only channel with no actual schedule, just content, the good kind of content.

"Does money even matter anymore?" Only someone who has boosted their vehicle will understand the depth and validity of this question... good job.

I appreciate how thorough Charles is. You don't really see experienced people put that much attention to detail nowadays.

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.

“Hondas don’t fail, Charles”. I’m hearing that while looking at my accord, which decided it doesn’t like having coolant anymore

The most ambitious crossover event in history

He said "home depot motor sports"! 😂😂😂😂 i love that!

This was awesome guys! I'm excited for your first drive video Jason!

So glad this video wasn't drug out over 6 episodes like some other KZfaqrs.....no shade lol

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

4 days. Not bad. 56 days quicker than the twin turbo install on my mustang! Lol

"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

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!

Thanks for not making this a 20 part video

No whiteboard? I feel cheated. :p Nice change of pace. You and Charles work well together.

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.

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

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".

Hahaha. It's a boy!😂 So happy for you, Jason! Great job, guys (and highly entertaining) as always.👍

When engineering explained and a humble mechanic get together only awesome stuff happens. Great build done only the right way!

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!!!

Never clicked anything faster

"Honda accura ferrari S2million"

Cutest couple on KZfaq.

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

You. Have. No. Idea. How. Long. I. Was. Waiting. For. This.

That airbox is HUGE! Never seen such a large one on such a small car

You two are both compltetely nuts. In a good way!

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

Been watchin ya both for a long time. Both channels contain valuable content and that is a major plus!!!

The correct title of this vid,should be Supercharging my s2000 in my garage!!you know the new youtube trend

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!!

What a beautiful car. I always liked the yellow/black combo on a S2000. It looks just sick!

I seriously thought that was Aaron Kaufman for a second

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 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.

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.

“Cathastrophic thermal event” is a very nice phrase for “shit is on fire, bro”:D

Great to see you working so well together. More please!

Two of my favorite KZfaqrs. You guys are fun and instructive in same time. Hope to see more collabs with Humble Mechanic.

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!

Niiiiiice 😀 Charles also deserves 1,7 mil subscribers guys 👍

Best quotes: "What kind of car is this? " "It's a Honda Acura Ferarri 2 Million" " Does money even matter any more?"

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.

You guys rock! Brothers separated at birth, reunited by passion.

This was 25 minutes of DIY lovers' delights.

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! :-)

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! 😆

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

Good choice on the SoS kit. Great people over there.

Nice Job guys! Look forward to the burn out...errrr I mean test drive vids :)

I wish all your videos were this high quality. The information you provide here is very entertaining and educational

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.

Been waiting my whole life for this video.

Nice job, boys. Awesome to have Charles involved. Quality work.

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.

"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.

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

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!

I really enjoyed those 25 minutes, such a clean tidy job...

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

HM: THAT'S HOW A REAL MAN DOES IT EE: *wolf noises*

Always entertaining videos from Jason! Loved how thoroughly you went through the process and how neat and clean it was all kept.

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!

“That’s how a real man does it!”.....”Aoowwwwww” 😂😂😂 love it!

But is it a replacement for displacement?

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. :)

Glad to see you still like posting modding/diy videos along with your purely educational ones

Dat on screen chemistry tho...

“Something you can cut hose with.” *Pimp hand jolts a bit.*

Two of my favorite channels. And here they suddenly collab! awesome video!

Watched both of your videos before, respectively; you guys are pretty entertaining together. A great idea!

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

Charles seems like a really cool dude.

Charles knows his stuff...nice video..nicely done👍

I absolutely love the supercharger in my Audi S4! Torque on tap, no lag. Congrats on this upgrade to the S2000! Share some videos on the driving experience.

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

To those that say it's a turbo in the thumbnail 🤦🏻‍♂️

to loosen the crank pulley bolt, juts hold the bar against the shock tower like you were doing nad then engage the starter to turn the mototr over and it will break loose the bolt. it worked for me on my miata.

That Honda alarm clock-like key chime is one of the little things I miss about my Acura.

Awesome. Great teaming video guys! Love the build - thanks for sharing!!!

You guys made that crank bolt look easy.. lol

The Reciept bit is gold 😂 watch G them things fall down the windshield put things in perspective about working on my own car.

I did this install on a comptech kit which is very similar to this kit. We didn't have to use the FPR but did add in a walbro 255lph fuel pump. I like how the after cooler is mounted sideways instead of up and down. Might have to look into that. Also heat helps with removing the crank bolt GREATLY.

Name a more iconic power couple on KZfaq. I'll wait.

That car will be in Fast And Furious 9!

The humble mechanic and engineering explained crossover? How have I not seen this video yet.

This is the same kit I want to get on my S2000. So jealous right now lol. Love your videos man. Not just cause you own a s2k also

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)

You don't need the crank pulley remover, torque gun will remove it way easier any way. Oh and first thing is swap that clutch out, it is just good enough for a standard s2000.

Engineering Explained, I love your channel and I have bought a lot of your merchandise. Let's appreciate the absolute perfect camera angles that goes in these videos. I have 2022 Honda Accord that costed $39,698. I have subscribed to humble mechanic and Engineering Explained.

Okay, you guys, BRAVO! You nailed the hit on the head (purposely phrased). I felt comfortable that you went to the computer first before you started messing with all the other gobbledygook associated with a superb supercharger system installation. I may even watch it again and take notes! That's just my nature. As far as not going to the parts store, did the kit come with all the articulated hoses, zip ties, and hardware or did some young packrat engineer just happen to have it all stashed away in his shop? In addition, did the parts store find a few rocks and twigs on their shelves? But, sure, the kit is quite inclusive. And, what a beautiful supercharger it is. You guys work well together as a team. Every good mechanic needs an industrious engineer around as a side kick (snicker, snicker). Well played. What a dream shop, and clean engine you had to work with. I'm jealous. Follow the yellow car road. Hmm, strange thing to see a bearded mechanic working with an obvious yuppie city slicker. Yet, I enjoyed the contrast. And, you are so honest to admit that this is not a video for most do-it-yourselfers. But, hey, I like it and I'll return to bug you with some more of my sarc..., err, helpful comments. Jeff

Oh no the bad boys are back at it :)

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.

Honda VTEC-The best engine ever! So efficient and so much power !

You guys are awesome together. You on the theory end and him on the shop end
