hey guys..
if you havent noticed last saturday i lost a part of me! my 04 s2k burned up in a fire...
anyways insurance is covering most of it.. so i have about 17 or 18k to spend on a new one! but i cant go back to a non- turbo s2k cause i loved it so much... so my ? is
ive found some 03 s2k with about 100k on then with minors mods that i want but NA so my ? is it possible to rebuild the engine and get a turbo kit that can with stand 550+whp for about 10k!

thank you!
i appreciate it!

 

I think you have many options..

 

Don't rebuild just boost. Build a spare motor

 

yea.
and you might have enough to build the diff left over!

 

absolutely! you will prob have around 5k into the turbo setup, and the rest to build the motor which is probably around 3k or so depending on what you do.

 

Thats definitely doable man. Just overlook the mileage its been done many many times before. If there was one thing I could change I definitely would have just built a spare motor instead of taking the one out of a running car so take that for what its worth. 550 wheel can easily happen with the right kit and the right person that knows how to use a computer

 

Are you talking about the car Jdmap has for sale?

 

If you can, you should take as much of your old kit off the old car, clean it up and reuse what you can. That will save you tons of money. I'm sure the insurance company isnt reimbursing you much if anything for the turbo kit so they shouldnt have a problem with you pulling some of the items off to keep. Just a thought.

 

I agree. Take much as you can and reuse it or sell it.

But did you find out how it caught fire?
Good luck

 

ya jdmap has the evo for sale right?
if so im talking 2 him! im pretty sure im buying it hopefully. im just trying 2 explore my options cause i loved my s2k to death!!!

thanks for the input guys...
