Hey guys I recently installed and had tuned my ptuning 3076 kit on my 2001 s2000 with 77,000 on the clock. The car has always run strong and had all the regular 3,000 mile oil changes done. But now that i am turbo i want to make sure that all my maintaince and "upgrades" are done in the right areas to ensure the longevity of the setup. Espically before i do meth and a high boost map and crack 500-550hp. I have a fairly good idea of what i "think" needs to be done but again i am not to farmiliar with these cars and what common issues are so if someone could chime in and let me know some key things i should do to ensure longevity and reliability that would be much appreciated. I have searched and gotten back mixed opinions on what needs to be done but i have not seen a single thread that list all the things that should be checked over or upgraded under a Forced induction application.

So far since being turbo I have done the following... now what else???

-Fresh Oil Change with Shell Rotella T5
-OEM Oil Filter
-New Tranny Fluid (redline)
-New Diff Fluid (royal purple 75-90)
-new crush rings on all
-Cleaned AEM Dry Flow filter on turbo intake
-new pcv valve
-new/used 3 bar map sensor at time of tune.

***Ordered today the later 4 hole oil jet bolts***

Should the valves be adjusted(i feel like i heard slight valve ticking before the car was turbo)... retainers/keepers/cotters upgraded to ap2... do the valvetrain... what plugs... should i spend the money if i have the valves adjusted and upgrade to a dual spring valvesprings?

thanks to all who can offer some help!

 

i wouldnt mind hearing opinions on the shell rotella T5 oil. I have been a long time user of the Rotella T 15w40 in my all motor civic and i am looking at the T5 for my near future purchase of an S2K.

 

I like the T5 oil much better than the mobil1 i was running. With the mobil1 i was burning about a quart-2 quarts inbetween routine 3-5,000 mile oil changes. Now with the rotella T5 i burn next to nothing. Maybe 2,000 miles so far and have only burned 3 "X" marks down on the dipstick.

 

Nice! cant beat that price either.

 

Why not run. Rotella t6 5w40 full synthetic? I burn nothing with it, it's synthetic so you don't worry about sludge, and it's got one of the highest ratings against fuel sheer out there.

T5 is synthetic too. And when i picked it up the T6 was like $28 a jug and the T5 was on sale for $18 a 5qt jug. Cant beat it!
