So my TCT recently went out at an autocross and I was wondering if there was any performance loss from it? Looking at Balladesports TCT any recommendations would help a lot.

How did it go out? Like no tension, at all, on the chain?

Billman makes the best TCT, any others are weak copies. Also lifetime guarantee and supports a long time member and S2000 specialist which provides a lot of support here in the forums. No reason to go with another brand TCT my .02

Well it didn't necessarily go out rather it made a **** ton of noises that I haven't heard before. The idle sounded so weak.

I would not run the engine, until you find the correct fix. Could do more damage, if the timing chain has gotten too loose and knocked the cam timing off.

Pull the valve cover and examine the chain and cam positions. Get Billmans TCT.

Yea I ran to the hospital and back ( 5 miles) today unfortunately and it sounded deathly worse. Time to Garage her until i can get a billman tct!

USPS takes maybe 2 days from Long Island to San Jose. Contact Bill ASAP.

I'd pull the valve cover and inspect the chain. Not sure it can get loose enough to slip a tooth but...

Problem could be the loose chain retards the cam timing enough (without slipping a gear) --- to cause interference issues.


Not sure how close the overlap is on an S2000 --- but, I know this is an issue in some 4-stroke motorcycles.

Reading stuff like this drives me nuts. I understand lots of us are brand junkies and support those who have supported us.

I'm pretty sure InlinePRO started the modified TCT gig. All of which get the job done. I may not be considered your S2ki "S2000 Specialist" however, I do wrench on quite a few S2000's in my local city (Houston)
I've dealt with many S2000 owners who all have OEM Honda, Billman, Ballade, and InlinePRO TCT's.

Edit:
I know that Ballade, InlinePRO and Billman are all LIFETIME WARRANTY
