Default I'm Back!

So Ole Girl has been on the Disabled List for about 2yrs now.
An now after what seems like a decade and "$100,000 under the hood" thanks to my boy Shawn Ramey ( RameyBuilt ) superior Engine Building Skills. The S2000's new motor was fired up for the first time yesterday. Should have her back on the road in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait.

Nice parts list! Those wheels look awfully heavy though!

Guessing you'll be hitting around the 450 WHP mark on a conservative tune; best SC setup on the market IMO! What kind of engine management are you using, AEM? Any thought given to the potential for E85/Flex Fuel?

AEM Series 2

Yes I have. Honestly I've spent a lot more than expected so whatever it makes now will be fine until I can fill the piggy bank back up. Lol

Even thought of going to a Novi 1500 blower

The only thing you need to be able to run Flex Fuel on your setup would be the ethanol composition sensor and its wiring harness which cost $65, lol. And of course a few extra hours of tuning on the dyno, but I'd imaging they'll have her on the dyno for a while anyways. IMO might as well go ahead and do it now while they're already doing all this work and tuning for you. Its well less than $100 in parts.

At the very least I would recommend going ahead and buying the sensor/harness and having the shop stick the sensor in your return fuel line and wire it into your AEM V2 now while they are doing all this install work anyway. Even if you don't put E85 in it now and mess with a flex fuel tune at all. That way a few months/years down the road whenever you feel like messing with it then there's no install work to be done. Just drive to your tuner, fill it with E85, and start tuning. Installing the sensor and wiring is probably 1-2 hours of work max and less than $100 in parts. You may decide to NEVER run E85, but at least it will all already be there if you decide you want to.
