S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

My crappy day at the dyno...

Good luck with your build and stay positive about your endeavor...

Think of the end product and how you can teach the rest of us.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm hoping that tomorrow goes smoothly

I can't wait to beat up some Evos and whatnot.

Man I feel your pain. Hopefully you stick with it and keep your chin up.

I have been down for a while. So I know how this sucks.

When you go about modifying a car considerably like most on this forum have done, I've learnt that it's a journey with many peaks and troughs. Right now you're in a rut - the important thing is that you keep your chin up and focus on the end result. Good luck

Some are luckier than others on the journey to modification bliss, and it looks like you have had a pretty rough time. It will all get sorted out, unfortunately it just takes some patience. Just be sure not to overlook anything at this pont. Now is the easiest time to just want to drive the car or just throw the towel in. A few once over examinations of each engine and drivetrain component before romping on the car would go a long way...

Howdy Justin. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I haven't driven my car inmonths because I can't get it registered due to emissions and I haven't been able to get to South GA. to register at my friends house. I haven't even been on S2ki because I hate hearing everyones stories about their S's when I can't even drive mine.

I haven't had my car on the road since I blew my engine back in Feb.

Rebuilt my engine, got it back in the car and then managed to break my wrist in a motor bike accident.

Finally got it all back together but it was smoking like crazy. Eventually said stuff it and took it for a drive only for it to catch fire. The smoking was an oil leak under the turbo.

Put the fire out, got the car home with no major damage, pulled it all down with my wrist in a cast, and then put it back together again.

Drove it for the first time last night. 20 psi and VTEC makes it all worthwhile!

I finally got it tuned correctly and the car is a blast. We put on the correct hotside and modified my downpipe for vband.

I made 375rwhp and 252 torque @ 11psi. Keep in mind I have the 3mm headgasket and it was 103 degrees F outside. I have full boost right before 4K and this car feels nasty. Hopefully nothing will break for awhile
