I wanted to make a thread just to share what I've done with my S2k so far. Its a 2006 and I hope to update this as time goes on.

This was the day I picked her up







First order of business was some general maintenance oil, filter, tranny fluid, diff fluid etc





Then it was time to ditch the front plate



Then BC coilovers and Einke wheels







This is how she looks after a good wash and detail



Now that I was happy with the way the car looked it was time to add a little more power











A rolling shot of the S!



I need to get the car on a dyno and will hopefully post #s soon. Just running 6 psi at the moment.

 

Stock clutch? Clean car

 

Thanks. Clutch is stock for now. When its time to upgrade the clutch I will upgrade the pulley for more boost as well.

 

Oh okay. Personally, I would have installed the clutch before the SC; you're going to need to remove the SC in order to change the clutch (you need to lower the engine/subframe ~3" in order to reach the top two bell housing bolts; the SC will hit the front crossmember if you don't remove it prior to lowering the subframe)

 

I know two guys who made a song about your car!

thanks for the heads up I'm familiar with the clutch job on the S. I think the stock clutch still has some miles left on it. Only time will tell tho!

You're too kind sir lol

 

Agreed. You'll likely be fine at 6psi on the stock clutch.

 

Car is cleeeean man, looks great! Awesome job thus far. Since your an '06 its definitely time for upgraded clutch, flashpro, and 14 PSI!!!

I am about to go through the hassle of swapping the clutch next weekend; I've heard mention of people using the "tilt method" where they don't have to remove the SC... but not much hard info on it that I've found.

How does the car feel with the bolt on kit vs stock?

I really want this kit im just worried about the down low power lacking.

 

Yup...I got the flashpro from CT instead of sending my ecu out for a reflash. This way I can get a custom tune on the current set up and retune if I run more boost in the future.

IMHO the power output with this setup is how the car should have came from the factory. In stock form its just too anemic. This kit def ups the fun factor for the car but its not jaw dropping. At the end of the day I wanted something with a CARB # on it. Vortech doesn't offer CARB exemption on the dbw models and greddy has issues with their internal wg and leaking oil lines. This just seemed like the best option for me.
