Why don't you produce a harness for the APex vtec AFC, I mean that the only thing holding me back from getting one, Iam sure their are others interested

 

Believe me, the car MOOVES!!!! As for stroker, that will be another thread, but I am working heavily on it. All of the internal engine parts are name brand, top quality parts; I would not do it any other way.
I will keep you all informed as to my progress.
As always, thanks for the input, and if you have any other questions, feel free to PM or e-mail me whenever.

pardon my ignorance but what is a stroker kit?

 

Having had three different ground-pounding MKIV Supra TTs.......
and experienced the second turbo coming on at inopportune times........I would much prefer a supercharger with a pretty linear
power curve. Our roads here in NW Arkansas are truly to die
for......positive cambered, high speed, blind cornered swoopers....
one after another! Not the place for rude, hp. surprises..........the main reason why I no longer have a SupTT. If someone really wants to get hairball in the twisties, I can always put them in the weeds with the R1 or 929RR. I really dig my stock (now) S2000!!

8k good lord!

You could buy an EF Hatch and build a 10-11 second car

 

A stroker kit is essentially a new crank with a longer throw and shorter conrods. The effect is that the pistons move up and down further in the bore and sweeps a greater volume (hence greater displacement; the Mugen engine is 2200cc but I think it's bored a little as well). This change usually results in decreased max RPM (theoretical as the S2000 is limited artificially) but greater torque as the power stroke is working on a longer lever.

At any given RPM the piston is moving faster in a stroked engine and as the F20C has one of the highest piston speeds of any production engine you are probably pushing the envelope and risking reliability problems.

 

Mark, how is the funding for R&D doing with the money you haven't sent back to me? I don't appreciate you spending my $2k on your little project and leaving me out to dry over a botched deal. It's been 6 months, and I still don't have my wheels nor do I have my money. You need to realize where your priorities are and make sure you can take care of your customers when things go wrong. No one is going to be interested nor happy with the invisible products you send them after they paid for it.

Interesting insight Ching
I hoped it would not come to this, but have it your way.
Not only did I send you your wheels, but after they were sent, I sent you all information regarding them as well as the invoice and tracking information. Your battle is with Fed Ex at this point in time. As I explained to you in Baltimore at the Fall Colors meet, I have done everything in my power, and it is up to you to get any insurance money from Fed Ex. As for not getting product, why don't you have a little discussion with the 100+ other people who have purchased items from me, and find out how they feel.

BTW so far this project has cost 20k+, not to mention was in motion long before you and I spoke (which I am beginning to wish had never happened)
