petawabit

long time lurker who has mostly absorbed what s2ki.com has to offer and after a long year or two or three, am finally making a thread to highlight my build and also answer any questions people may have when going turbo on their s2000s (I know I've learned a lot, especially from all the little quirks of building and maintaining this car).

Thanks to s2ki and the sub-section that I call home, forced induction Ryan and Ron over at Rising star motors for all of the help with general installation, Sheldon and Adam at S-tech motorsports for the build and assembly of the motor, LJ and Justin at fullblown motorsports, Jason at Jason Noren fabrication, Mike at ATP wrap, and various members of this forum: nsxtasi (si), a long time friend who is actually the first person I met from this forum who I still hang out from time to time today, scorpionT for all the guidance, patience with all my questions. wadzii, sarek (paul), vtecs2k (pierre), Fred from vis(gunshow),Shane and Mike over at Autowave for the tune and help along the way, and many other on this forum for their inspiration to this build. My Apologies for those who i've forgotten.

dyno graph, mike was commenting how the motor seemed a little lazy and it shows in the dyno graph. He's thinking it may be the modified head, tuned to 15psi on a safe tune with 91 octane. will retune after i replace the broken knock sensor and get all the bugs worked out:

comparison of silverstone to moonrock

thanks Ptuning for lending me the oil distribution block to see if it clears my setup!

Awesome. I hope you figure out the engine, and the knock sensor. Your local, and close to me, I'm surprised we haven't met. Lets meet up one day, I'd love to check out your car in person Good luck man, I hope you figure everything out.

sweet build good luck on the retune

Nice build. How much would you have had to cut in order to fit the s300sx? I have an s366 on the way (same manifold). To clarify, I'll cut whatever gets in my way lol. I'm just curious.

Kyle, looks like you will have two dumptubes and and turbo sticking out of your hood

Ha! So much for sleeper status. I'm seriously considering running an uppipe setup again as well.
