how long have you been installing it?

 

Stealing my advice I want a quote on that!! haha, and yes to OP, its insanely easy, just please bring it to someone who knows WHAT THEY ARE DOING, and not just tuning cars in general, tuning s2000s! Where are you located?

 

Fuel pump on the s2k is definitely a bitch. If you do it first, it makes putting the rest of a kit on seem much easier

 

So far I have 15-20ish hours into the install over a span of 1.5 months. That includes differential replacement, removing headers and exhaust, mount new exhaust, turbo, manifold, inter-cooler pipings and routing all oil lines, cooling lines, and vacuum lines. Also spent some time removing the oil pan and installing upgraded oil banjo bolts.

So far I neeed to:
tap the ruel rail for a fuel gauge
install new injectors
hook up a wideband and mac solenoid wires to a 12v ign source
install ecu and correct pins
mount wideband gauge and Aem serial guage.
change transmission fluids
Run a relay to the fuel pump.
hook up the laptop, flash a baseline tune.
drive to the tuner.

I try not to make the installation stressful. I work on it whenever I have time and take my sweet time. The Ptuning kit is a great kit. All packages were nicely organized and packed. No major fabrication was needed with the kit. Everything goes together nicely.

 

where are ya running the coolant line from to the turbo?

 

A few things you *need* to do:

- Call InlinePro and ask whether you're going to have clearance issues using your turbo with the manifold. I have a 58/62 and the turbo hit chassis, I used a pretty big hammer to *make* it fit :-/

- Install the sandwich plate on the block first then the turbo kit and customize the oil lines afterward.

- I'd suggest keeping the battery in the stock location but you'll have to bend the a/c lines with a small pipe bender (local auto part store carries it for $10) and definitely make a heat-shield

- If you decide to relocate the battery; use the thickest guage wire for the positive and run a separate wire from the battery directly to the starter to prevent a "slow cranking" issue which will become a major issue if you have an AEM (due to the ecu having to "sync")

 

Random question but how much power Do those Inline stage one turbo kits give you?
I know it all depends on tuning too, but whats an average gain in horsepower and torque?
Im thinking of going boost and have heard good things about the Inline kits.

 

i did all mine in my garage, i have a big a** tool set though and everything you need. It took me 18 hours total to install everything and the hardest things i had to do was installing my fuel pump and finding a place to put my canton oil filter relocation and i just made a bracket for that near the radiator side support.

 

Check my Inline Pro build thread and you will get an idea what it takes to do it right. It is a very diffcult job if you don't have a welder and fabrication tools.
