700whp & 500wtq
Most of you know me as on OG booster, I've been quiet recently, b/c I bought a house and have been focusing on that, but I took a break and got the car unning.
If you don't know the issues I've had in the past, here is a quick recap.
Bought car in Summer of 08. Drove it, needed more power, came from a 99 Si that made 450whp.
In 09, I had a stock motor, 30r, ID1000's and made 500whp. That was perfect imo, but as we all know, we get bit by the bug.
I wanted 700whp back when it wasn't common, and I wanted it on pump gas.
Fast forward to the 2010, I upgraded to a 6262, and an aem single nozzle meth kit, and made 650whp with spark blowing out. Went back for a retune once I purchased a KB BAS, and ended up losing piston #4, cracked the ringlands.
Tore it down, sleeved the motor/rods/pistons/head/blah/blah/blah.
2011 went in with a individual nozzle meth setup, made 670whp, and lost the #1 cylinder, turned out, one of my methanol nozzles was incorrectly sized, and instead of 4, 180cc nozzles, I had 3, 180's, and 1, 90cc nozzle, of course the one that was smaller is the cylinder I lost, caused me to put a whole in the side of my piston.
I still believe in methanol, but have since gained access to E85.
Last year the car was ready, was going to use the new meth setup, but the house got in the way and summer skipped by, so I made the switch to corn.
Upgraded a few parts which is where I sit now:
05 s2000
AP2
Stock drivetrain
CM Stage 5 (4 puck/sprung)
AEBS sleeved to 88mm
CP pistons, 9.6:1
Carillo Rods
Honda main / ACL rod bearings
Slowmotion Motorsports Sidewinder Manifold
6265 .83 a/r Ball Bearing Race ported cover
3" downpipe
Tial 44mm MVR Wastegate 10# spring
3" i/c piping
Tial Bov
Fullblown Throttle body
Stock cams/manifold
Ferrea Valvetrain / valves/springs/retainers
AEM EMS V2
Precision 600hp cooler
ID 2000's
AEM FPR
AEM Fuel rail
Walbro 400lph pump w/fuel relay mod
Kenne Bell Boost a spark
(had a boost a pump 2 days before tune, it fried one me, I removed it).
Setup boost by gear
Revlimit is currently @ 9000/9500 I forget what we set it to. Dyno on this pull only shows 8500
I made the # I was looking for, and stopped. I was more concerned with bringing the car home, than I was on making big power. It's been 2 yrs since I've driven it, and I want to get out, shake it down, see how it's going to react, and then make a decision from there, this winter or spring.
Might focus on a drive line solution, or just cruise it, either way I get to drive it.
I set out a few yrear ago, to have a pump gas 700whp street car, and I think I met that goal. I've retained A/C, power steering, full stereo, soft top/etc.
The graph imo is a little lazy, which I am attributing to the small exhaust leak I've got. Didn't have time to track it down before the tune, will dig into it more in the next few weeks. I feel it should be shifted to the left roughly 500-800 rpm. However, when she comes on, she comes on HARD. Have never ridden or driven a car that comes on that hard.
1st - 450
2nd - 450
3rd - 500
4th - 550
5th - 550
Currently turned down, and it just rips the tires off in 3rd and up. Currently on Azenis RT 615's, (255 rear's) but they have a few years on them, and aren't as soft anymore despite the amount of tread they have.
Regardless, it's going to be a handlful to say the least, lol.
Comments welcome, I think that about sums it up.

Yea, I'd like to. I don't have a trailer, so that's a thing I have to deal with renting, but I'd like to take it once toward the end of the year, so if something did break I wouldn't be completely out of the summer.
If we had a few closer tracks, instead of being 1.5-2hrs away, I'd be a regular.
I always wanted a 9sec slip, but I don't think the power I'm making will get me there, maybe another 50-100whp sure, but the drivetrain wouldn't like that to much, lol.
Time will tell.

haha, she does!!
I have to buy a battery, and fix some wiring I never attended too, not to mention she needs a new registration and plates since it's been sitting. Hope to tackle that sometime next week.
Of course a major detail too!!
