Like many of us on S2KI, I browsed the forums in search of more for my S2 to enhance its already rewarding fine craftsmanship and take it to the next level. After reading endlessly, wrenching for hours, measuring twice and cutting once, my S2K is finally running after almost a year of being down. It takes hard work and doing it right once on this machine that will get you the results if you can be patient. I am happy to finally write this post to say the least. On to the good stuff.

Dyno sheet and more info to come; here are some pictures of the build.

 

Putting my blood into it.

 

how did you mount your intercooler? and if you have any pictures?

 

I've heard of the synapse bov leak from other people...be cautious.

Also, shame shame to use an eBay cooler from China.

 

I like that heat shield never seen anyone do that.

 

I just drove the car home from the tuner with no front bumper. But I stayed clear from the local law enforcement. Have not had a chance to get on it yet but it feels smooth, and purrs like a kitten. Mitch said the he tuned it for 11:1 for now just to be safe and I feel better having that reassurance as a back up. I'll try and post more up when I have the chance hopefully tomorrow.
