PLEASE NOTE:
1) I composed the following in Excel where the formatting is MUCH BETTER. If you want that version, please ping me, and I'll email it to you.
2) No price listed, since I will be posting it to eBay in the next couple of days (with NO RESERVE), but if someone wants to make me an offer I can't refuse, i figured I'd give the s2ki community a shot first
3) I only put the prices in there as a reference, I realize a 2000 S2k isn't worth $32k today, nor do I expect to get anything close to that!
4) All photos at bottom.

Regards,
Josh

MSRP Description Links / Reference:
$ 32,500.00 2000 S2000 Silverstone/Red
100% Garaged
Single owner since new
only 35k miles (less than 5000 miles since the engine modifications - see below)
$ 5,500.00 Ultimate Racing s2000 Turbo Kit: http://www.ultimate-racing.com/Products2/S...pgradeKit.shtml
T3/T4 Turbo
Intercooler
Fabricated Exhaust manifold, Piping
etc... visit the site page to see all the goodies included in the kit
But its better - I opted not to use the greddy emanage, but go with a full-blown EMS:
Engine Management System
$2,008.91 AEM EMS - Real time statistics AND REALTIME TUNING with a laptop (Ignition Map, Fuel map, boost control, etc.) http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=62
N/C OEM ECU included
Easily tuned to over 300 HP then immediately de-tuned on the dyno to a safer 287.7 @ 8695 RPM. Max Torque of 192.3 ft-lb @ 5646 RPM
Please see attached dyno charts - YES THAT IS MY CAR, NOT A GENERIC DYNO PLOT! (go to page 2 of the thread) The tuning was performed by Shawn Church (better known on the boards as Ultimate Lurker) who is a master of the AEM EMS and tuning on the Dynapak! Above 4500 RPM the car is simply amazing. The fuel enrichment was upped and the spark was retarded above 8000 RPM specifically to increase the reliability of the engine - I've had ZERO issues with reliability since the kit was installed and tuned in April, 2004. If want numbers above 300 HP, it will take about 5 minutes, but I don't recommend doing it without some beefed up engine work!
Go to the second page of the thread to see the dyno charts https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...0&#entry3717204
ADDITIONAL TUNING MODS INCLUDED:
$ 227.00 AEM Fuel Pressure regulator http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=52

$ 336.00 SPA Technique Dual EGT/Boost Gauge (EGT is fully functional, Boost is not currently hooked up, would require tapping the intake manifold - relatively simple, but I had no need to do that running the current low boost with stock 6LB spring in the wastegate http://www.spatechnique.com/product_pages/...ct=DG%20206|371
$ 273.00 RAM-160-2U Mount for Laptop Computer; no drill seat base with double ball joint. http://www.ram-mount.com/pdf/ram%20c...20pictures.pdf

$ 700.00 Michelin Pilot Sport Front: 225/50ZR16 Rear 245/45ZR16 - ~1000 miles max on them - Nearly new! Tire rack doesn't seem to have these sizes in stock anymore - c'est la vie http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...del=Pilot+Sport

$ 100.00 Electronic Exhaust bypass (Never installed) - When I was consider seriously pimping the ride, I had purchased but never installed on the stock exhaust system - Would require a weld onto the OEM exhaust
$ 350.00 Trailer hitch and Track Trailer to haul the extra wheels to an event. I built it myself with a generic trailer from Harbor Freight and parts from home depot
$ 50.00 Official Honda Shop Manual (A must for doing any advanced work)
$ 100.00 Interstate Battery
If I find any other pieces/parts for this car (there may be others), its yours!

** How the car behaves DIFFERENT than Stock **
Warm start takes ~5 sec of cranking. (No issues with cold start)
Slight stumble in low RPM (~1500-2000 RPM), when accelerating with very light throttle. I can easily drive around this so it never happens
Both of the above can be tweaked with the AEM fuel and ignition maps, but its livable for me, so I haven't messed with either of them. I'm not an EMS expert, and would prefer not to mess with the tuning!
The car WILL NOT pass emissions as it is configured (at least in NJ, which requires an OBDII hookup) - The AEM EMS disables the OBDII data interface. BUT I'm including the OEM parts required to configure it back to "stock" for purposes of getting it through emissions. This would require:
- Swapping the fuel injectors back to OEM
- Swapping the UEGO O2 sensor back to OEM
- Swap the fuel pressure regulator back to OEM
- Swap the CAT back to OEM
- Swap the EMS with OEM ECU
- I think you will NOT have to uninstall the turbo to get back to stock emissions . . . just ensure that the car isn't boosted when set up like this - the OEM computer won't know what to do in a positive manifold pressure situation.
IF YOU WANT TO BRING IT TOTALLY BACK TO STOCK, YOU CAN DO THAT TOO - Airbox, exhaust manifold, yada yada . . . You will likely want to leave the relocated oil filter alone, but for all intents, it will be a total stocker. Yes, I even have a STOCK unused OIL PAN to put back on, if you desire.
** ISSUES **
Tiny paint chips (one on back trunk, one on passenger door)
On the street, I damaged the driver's side rear wheel (Regamaster) and had it fully repaired. The paint is nearly identical to the others, but doesn't have the "EVO" sticker
When I installed the tweeters in the rollover loops, I used epoxy to put the plastic rollover covers back on - doesn't look as good as stock, but pretty minor - no passengers have ever noticed
In order to tune the EMS, you will need a laptop computer with a serial port or get a USB to serial port adapter at comp usa. LAPTOP COMPUTER IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE CAR!
That's it! Start her up and driver her away!
$ 52,523.91 <= About the total that I spent not including any labor. I bought all parts *new*. Probably spent the equivalent of $1000 in tuning. I did all the hardware installation myself

Q. Why am I selling it?
A. Just not using it enough. Its sat in the garage for months. Got a 4 year old and a 1 year old, and no time to enjoy it. Since I've owned it for 7 1/2 years and only has 35k miles says something. I also no longer have time for the "project" aspect of it either. I hope it finds an "enthusiastic" home.
Q. Do I have other pictures, etc.
A. Just tell me what you want and I can try to get them posted ASAP
Q. Where is it located?
A. Long Valley, NJ 07853
Q. Can I drive it before buying?
A. Of course

i dont know if i missed it, but whats the price ?

jahwerx

I haven't posted a price - Early next week, I'm going to post it to eBay motors as a no-reserve auction, but i figured I'd give folks on the s2ki forum a chance to make an offer first. I'd accept reasonable offers.

jahwerx

sale pending - thanks.

I'll pull the listing once complete...
