Hey guys I'm in the market for an S2K and I found one up for sale with 129k miles but it has 3500 miles on the supercharger. It has the air to water intercooled self contained V3 Supercharger with about 460whp. I want an S2K for the Honda reliability, but be honest, does FI throw that out the window?

 

Sounds like a very high hp number to me....

On the reliability note....assuming the car has been maintained and tuned well, you should not have any issues.

 

Thats what I was thinking, I'm going to ask for a dyno sheet. The only thing that scares me is the 100k+ mileage.

 

The mileage won't be an issue motor wise as long as the tune is good, however the other wear items I'd check on. Engine mounts are likely to be shot. OEMs are a couple hundred. The rear diff mounts may be starting to crack too. Shock life? Front LCA compliance bushings? That one is pain to swap too. Mileage on clutch? Endlinks? OEMs aren't cheap. It starts to add up.

 

It's tuned by a reputable shop and the owner has built s2ks in the past. heres a little info on the car: 2003 Honda S2000. 132k miles. Air to water intercooled self contained V3 supercharger. AEM V2. ID1000 injectors. 340 fuel pump. 3.5 bar map sensor. Stage 2 clutch, aluminum flywheel. Short shifter. Megan motor mounts, transmission mounts. Dyno graph shows 464 rwp. New projector headlights. 18x11.5 rear 18x10 custom made ccw wheels $3800. Megan adjustable coil overs. 3 core aluminum radiator. Custom radiator hoses. Aluminum cooling plate. Gauge pod with boost gauge and air/fuel ratio. Greddy catback. Greddy header. Test pipe. Cross drilled brakes and rotors. New transmission-rear end fluid. Mobil one synthetic oil changes. New colder NGK spark plugs. New wheel studs. New ball joints.

 

What boost is it making? Numbers sound really high for the V3 kit unless running really high boost.

 

If it's a Si blower then that's believable with the right fuel and pulley. Vortech tech told me the Si internals and compressor map are the same as the novi 1200. If it's a SCi then that's hard to believe since the internals are the same as the Novi 1220.

 

It's an air to water intercooled self contained V3 supercharger. Running 16psi with forged pistons and rods with sleeved cylinders.

 

V3 just means it's self lubed. There are different v3 blowers.

 

if it's a whole v3 kit from vortech it's not going to SI trim, it'll be sci trim.
he might typ the number 3 accidently to 4
