S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

Think I bought a messed up s2000

How am I making shit up, everybody that has looked at that car thinks a blind retard did all the work. There is not ONE MORE corner you could have cut on this car. Everything is held on by zip ties for christ sake. Please just stop posting in my threads, I'm trying to get my half asses jerry rigged car back on the road and you whinning about me bashing you isn't helping me at all. The problem isn't the tune, the problem is the car can't function the way its built. If the injectors max out at 6k rpm's then a tune isn't going to fix that, a tune won't make the injetors work better. If you didn't cheap out and got the good stuff like so many people were telling you in your build threads then this wouldn't have even happened. Last time I checked my GTO has no problems at any speed or rpm, because I spent the money to get the car done right. Now please stay out of my threads.

They didn't max out @ 6k.... Boost cut is hitting you there.

Sounds like you bought a car that was complete trash , but you should of atleast had a local look over the whole thing or do it yourself when you went to trade a perfectly good GTO for it .

Sounds like seller was shady from what info I got but I only heard one side so I cant really make that call.

You need some ID1000 Injectors let me know I will sell a extra set I have stupid cheap to help you get back on the road. Also ditch that larger map sensor it stupid to run that and not even put out 15psi

not taking sides but just from what it looks like, it seems like you cheaped out as well buying a boosted s2000 instead of buying a car and boosting it yourself. so, theoretically, that's your bad. please discontinue your attempted bashing on a deal that you decided to make. instead, i'm asking that if there is any bashing done that it be on yourself for your decision, not on someone else's car when you were just trying to get rid of a car with a salvage title, regardless of the reason for the salvage title.

you were probably more equipped to handle a car with a salvage title than a truely modded car. but welcome to the world of used cars. they're all overpriced and need work.

Im guessing you would be Scotts back up. How is buying a car already boosted vs building one yourself being cheap ? The man thought he was getting a solid car which is what a s2000 should be if the money and time is spent on it . Your homeboy was a cheap ass and has passed on a problem .

how is this still being debated? its quite simple guys:

one dude built a rim-shot crappy s2k.
one dude didnt do his research and "OMG! a turbo S2k!1!111" and bought it.

admit your faults and move on. it takes 2 people to make a deal.


if i were to look at that shit, i woulda laughed in the sellers face when i questioned the setup/build.

the owner is a turbo and s2k newB. the builder sucks. thats all.

+1. He built a car half assed and probably knew he was getting rid of it so didn't even care to take care of it properly. That's why the front bumper is held together with zip ties and the fuel pump isn't even done correctly. He didn't even bother to put weather stripping around the hard top so it's one big wind tunnel when driving it. The damn door panels weren't even done correctly so he couldn't open the door from the inside. We had to fix that as well.


Don't really know the complication on doing something right, could just be my mentality though.

That's another problem. Scott dropped the car off about (2?) hours away from his house so OP never met Scott before in person. He wasn't there to trade the cars or anything. So it was a shady situation to begin with. Scott probably knew OP would complain about the car so didn't even bother to stay there and introduce himself.
