I was driving my MY00 s2k and cyl#4 leaned out and decided to rub against the cylinder wall when I was passing a semi around 7k on the tach. All the valves on Cyl#4 are either cooked or bent (ive only miss-shifted once). Anyways, time to rebuild a stronger and better engine. No matter what I need to get the block resleeved (at least 1200 just for that I think).. and there is some play on Cyl#4. And also getting the head machined . I was thinking of going the inline pro Allenbuilt option since I already have a turbo setup. This is what is on the car already


Custom turbo setup Garrett T3/T4 .60 trim w/ internal waste gate. 8/12 psi two stage boost switch.
550 RC racing injectors (may need larger ones for extra boost
E-manage Blue.... I know. Should I replace it with ultimate?
Custom exhaust (see pics)

Any ideas would be appreciated. Its mainly going to be a daily driver vehicle and probably will hit the strip once to see what it can do.

Here are some pics of the car sorry new to this forum thing

 

Wanna be different?

 

You should replace with an AEM EMS or K-Pro to be honest, piggy backs can only do so much, and if your going with a built Inline Motor your gonna want to extract the most power out of it. Sleeved block, 9:1 Compression pistons, standard bore (might as well build the whole head while your at it)... Go with inline and I am sure you will be fine

***You also might wanna post up in the forced induction section, might get better response there

 

I am going 9:1 compression for sure. I don't want the same thing that happened last time to happen again. Know of any good dyno tuning places around Iowa? The closest one I have found that would do a good job is ams performance out of Chicago

 

That is nice, but I enjoy the turbo feel. Is that straight out of an accord?

 

standalones like aem or k pro are the best but ultimate is what i use due to still having to pass emmisions. I re sleeved my block and put the k24 cranks with h22 internals in it. imo was the best bang for the buck set-up pm me if you want more info I suck at following threads lol.

 

If im not mistaken that setup is quite expensive to have done. I was hoping to keep this rebuild under 5-6k with labor ?

 

I had my whole block build with all brand new parts and new sleeves for about 3k but i pulled the motor myself so i saved labor there then pick up an e-manage ult prob used for about 4 hundred and u can re use your harness just need the other piece for it. or just sell yours with the harness and get a whole new one. then a re-tune you looking at maybe 4k -4.5k so if u can do the work yourself you all set. not sure what labor on getting a motor pull runs ppl. but expect the car to be down for a little bit as my sleeves took darton 8 weeks to come in. they dont' stock them for the s2000 they have to cut them.

 

Wanna sell yours for $400? Yea Yesterday it was -10 outside... car really isn't gonna be driven for at least 2-3 months. I don't have the tools or the expertise to build an engine myself. The toughest thing I have done personally is a brake job.

 

Anyone wanna link me the forced induction forum? I looked through the sticky's and didn't find it. Thanks
