Congrats, Nick! Seems like you were waiting a long time. I know you've got to be a happy camper having her back.

You'll have to bring her out to play when I'm up in Orlando next month!!!

Ditto! PM me if you don't get the HP you want. I have a custom 2.5 in pulley and a relief valve made for the after cooler. Really trick stuff I can't use anymore.

I know of a better idler pulley and have ideas for a tensioner.

Can you say belt slippage. You will with over 9 lbs and a Comptech setup. PM me or call me, 813-309-2696. I was working a lot to max out a Comptech setup.

Thanks for the words guys
I am just glad to have her back in my driveway in one piece! I t will be fully tuned sometime this week and I will see what we are looking at - The place that is the only AEM EMS certified shop here in Orlando has a Mustang dyno so I don't know what numbers to expect but to be honest I really don't care to have a dyno queen - This car will be setup for the track events and hopefully a weekend driver
I am piecing the Oil Cooler and Accusump as we speak and looking at dumping the soft top and motor for a hardtop hopefully in the near future! right now I am getting about 12 miles to the gallon and my tune is very rich

When my tune was way off on my Comptech I was getting 13mpg. I know how you feel. Now with my Turbo I get 24 on the highway.

Many Congrats Nick!

Can't wait to see her in person. Our cars definitely don't look much alike anymore plus you'd dust me in a heartbeat. Still have my Ztech CF under the hood though.

Be safe,
Shay

Fourniers on Mills 407 898-8002 - Bob is the owner and Joshua is the Honda/ Acura tech - These guys are the only ones that work on my car, The dealerships locally really don't know a damn thing about the S2000 except for basic stuff These guys work on S2000's and NSX's and are Authorized Comptech dealers!
