but sadly here the bad news , was not event a week I add the car tuned , I did a pull on the high way with a friend and bam the car shut off like if I turn down the key.

pull over , tow the car to the shop , next day my tunner said I add 10-40-120-80 of compression ! the car wont start , my tunner said the enfine is dead ,

I told him that is tuned was bad and e check the datalog in aem and said no , so now I drove the car 3 day and im donne for my summer because I don't have 3000$ for a new engine ! shame on me I wait 1 years to install it and know I cant drove my car I have to store it for few months !

im so disappointed im destroy

Sorry to hear. I know your pain, ended up swapping in a new long block when it happened to me but that was a long time ago on a different car.

Your engine bay looks really good.

There's not a lot of details and those compression numbers look odd. How was it determined that your engine is dead?

idk to be honest my tunner said e make a compression test and a leak down test and told me that they have no compression , I told him t oput some oil in the cylinder and that's raise de compression about 30 psi + but the car wont start , u think the engine is still good ? u think a head gasket can do this ?

Very sorry to hear brother .. Hope it wasn't the tune .. Post up what ever info you have on the tune .. Kinda strange that it just blew up right after it gets supercharged .. Only because I have near 245 k miles with 30 k on the kW kit and it's thank god still fine ..

Something was definitely either wrong with the tune or the SC install.

Damn, i know the feeling all to well, been down this road a handful of times with this car and am now a content N/A'er so what does that tell you. Sometimes, no matter how good the tune seems to be or condition of engine, FI and all its related supporting components adds complication to the car and will increase the odds something negative will happen, either constant fussy stuff or catastrophic. After being Supercharged for about 7 years, I reached my threshold and cut my losses, so I didn't have to part with the car, which means more to me then the extra 200whp thrill and bragging rights. I enjoy having a reliable working s2000 much more. A lot of guys have good results/track record with boosting/SC, and I had a few good spans, but not good enough. Ive spent more on used rear ends, trans and engine replacements then the car is worth x5. I Couldn't imagine going Turbo on this car.
