Sorry for the crappy Sony Cybershot pictures, but for now this will do. The car has a bit to go, but definitely coming along. I can't wait for the end result. I will try and post pictures of the Laskey Built Motor, Intercooler Piping (Gloss Black), and the rest of my set-up. I AM REALLY EXCITED!!

**Getting ready for finally assembly, engine waiting to go back in the car, but needed to get some things ordered before install because sensors got damaged during shipping . Some more pics to follow! Lots of engine eye candy coming as well. And needed new heater hoses because melted old ones haha**






**Just a few more pictures, the car is almost done and I can't wait**

James D.

**My tuner decided a powdercoated intake manifold was a must, just another shot of progress. We are very close waiting on a few small sensors and we should be ready for action**

***More Pictures***

Saving for pictures!

Awesome..............I'm too getting ready and trying to put the pieces together. Keep is posted.

You should make more power than that with a fully built block and that turbo set up

id be shooting for atleast 550whp daily. otherwise i would have kept a stock engine with a 3mm headgasket. but looks like its gonna be a beast if you do it right

Well the thing is I wanted a perfectly reliable car and the capability to take all the abuse I could throw at it. I definitely think my reason for building was more for solid reliable motor during abuse (I know stock can do it, but I wanted to build), but a little extra power never hurt. I know some people build for 500-600WHP+ but to each their own. The end results should be able to speak for itself. BTW, I never supported the idea of a 3mm headgasket because it seems like a band-aid fix, but if it works I wouldn't complain. Thanks for all the help and support so far!

James D.

why did u go with a k-pro vs a AEM?

I had AEM EMS, but I know when all my buddies went from AEM EMS to K-Pro in their Integras and RSXs and all they drove close to stock with extra power. I drove the car with K-Pro already before I did the bigger injectors and all. The car was making 404WHP 238WTQ and it started faster than stock, never had temperature issues and it seemed to be easier to tune and a favorite for tuners. The car ran like I bought it with the turbo from the dealer. It is an amazing ECU, but don't get me wrong with enough time and effort an AEM EMS can probably do just as well!

hey james did i tell you how much i hate you and i will be robbing your house soon :-P

Why would you hate me when you car is going to be a beast soon and get a bunch of exterior mods son? hahaha so what's the status of your ride man? Figure out which route for FI you want to go?

James D.

I think you've made a great choice. I too went with Laskey for my block and head and went with a fairly conservative tune. I daily drive my S and I've had no problems in 15000 miles. Having the built engine is very confidence inspiring because you are nowhere near its limit and it will last forever. Good luck, drive safely!

not sure, im hoping to figure it out soon before winter

Exactly

Thanks to the guys at InlinePro for the clutch!
Stage 5 Competition Clutch



James D.

Certainly interested in what you have going on.

I have been looking for a clutch for a while..why did you choose this one & price?

Good luck.

I was told that Competition Clutch are great. One of the fastest S2000 is running the same clutch and loves it. It is not that quiet I hear, but it is effective and my car is loud anyway. But my power settings and the clutch will be a great combo.

James D.

u should hit 5 no problem, shoot for 6

Yea I was trying and being modest when hitting 450WHP, I will probably be shooting for 550WHP and that should suffice, keyword "SHOULD."

James D.

BTW, the price on InlinePro is $695 for the s2ki discount.

James D.

MOTOR FINALLY ARRIVED!! Big thanks to Mike Laskey for being so quick. I will take pictures whenever I can head down to the shop, I AM REALLY EXCITED!

James D.

can't wait to see...too bad I am going with the "band-aid". I will pray for a great tune and my wimpy driving style.

Good Luck!
