You say you had a revhard mani but it looks like a topmount setup from the pics... I'm confused.

 

Dude I really did just cry when I scolled down to the pictures. Why did you have to post them . The first thing that came to mind was an oil leak as well, as posted above ^. Have you found the cause? I wish the best of luck to you man

 

ya i think i found out the problem! hopefully not positive but like you all were saying oil leak! my waste gate is obviously below right below the manifold cause i have a top mounted turbo. the dump-tube is close to ( i would not say that close but close enough) to the oil drain line that goes from turbo to the oil pan... Scottie said i was shooting flames out my exhaust so i assuming that maybe the exhaust from the dumb-tube broke the oil line going 2 the oil pan!

thanks for all the support again guys!!

 

I hope you can get another one soon!

 

ahh man that sucks. I shed a tear for another chicago local. Wish ya luck in finding another s.

are you going to have a partout thread? If so PM ME.

 

Wow that's horrible.

What kind of lines did you use for oil and coolant - stainless, rubber - where did you get them from??

That's sad man. Anytime a S2000 bites the dust is one less cool car on the road!

Luckily there are still plenty around, and prices have come down a lot over the last year, so you should have no problem finding a good one to replace your baby.

Hopefully you'll get things straighten out and will be working on your "new" S soon. If you like wrenching on you own car, then you can look forward to working on it

As everyone has recommended, make sure you use steel braided hoses for all your oil lines and heat shield anything close to the turbo. Another good investment is to have the header ceramic coated. Although, coating cracks on some headers like the FR due to the fact that they expand/contract alot due to heat cycling. Cast headers should do better.

Looking forward to your new S project soon !
