Looks like the tensioner for an SR20DET inserted into a custom billet housing/surround. If that's the case and they're using a new OEM core (SR20 TCTs are CHEAP) and a CNC billet housing to adapt it to the S2000? That's a pretty big W for the S2000 TCT. I'm going to buy one, I'd like to check it out.

You won't have any issues. Too many skeptical s2k owners on here. For the record I original designed this and sold the rights to Blox. It ran successfully on our first prototype car, (BC/Cwest S2000) I also have it on my current time attack car as well as my street S2000. I designed it in 2008 and still have it in my street car. It's based on the same concept as the K series yet improved to not have the issues as the K series OEM unit. The same design works flawless on a lot of different OE ratchet type tensioner. Personally, I'm not a fan of the S2000 worm gear style especially if you are going to run aftermarket valve springs.

Recently put one on a buddy's 190k mile S2k that came with a Ballade tensioner - calmed down the noise considerably and hasn't had any issues. I also plan on installing one on my own car (I already have it). The only unfortunate thing is just the BLOX name, but it's a quality product they just happened to buy the rights to. I'll keep this updated between my buddy's car and mine, but there's a lot more of these in the wild than you might think. These are talked about a lot more on the FB groups and so far no reported issues.

Never once did you mention in this thread, or to me, that your engine had BC cams. I specifically asked you to state whether or not you had aftermarket cams. You only told me this after you were having a small startup noise.
The noise was there because you do not have the proper application TCT.

I already told you! I did NOT have the BC Cams when I purchased your TCT....You are the one stating false statements. My cams were put on end of the next year....You asked if I had cams to let you know. I didn't respond because I did not have cams at that time.....if you like, I can send you the receipt from Brian Crower when the cams were purchased. You ask the question but you never state WHY you ask that question. I never knew you had two versions.
And the fact that I didn't respond, you may want to consider going forward warning people with a DISCLAIMER that if they buy they version I bought and then upgrade their cams later, they have to purchase a new TCT and the one they have will not work anymore!
Who wants to buy twice anyway?
When I posted above, I was not aware you even had a special version....
Btw, my Blox is going strong!
