First passes in the S2000....
Basic rundown on the setup...
-100% stock motor/tranny
-Reinforced differential
-Custom GT3076 top mount kit I made
-I.D. 1000cc injectors
-AEM ems tune by me
-Walbro 255 intank
-E85
Here's the build thread on the car for those not familiar.
https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/gt30-s2000-build-2508414/
Finally made it to the track with the car. The goal as some might know was to run a 12.anything on my crappy 245/45/16 Fuzion tires without killing the car to do it.
Mission accomplished :D
Made 8 passes and only one wasn't a 12sec pass. One that I aborted after a 2-5 shift
1st pass --- no changes from the street and 40somthing PSI in the tires and around 12.5psi of boost leaving like I left a stoplight. 2.23 60' got me a 12.723 @ 117.38
2nd pass --- 12.9 missing 5th gear
3rd pass --- Started getting braver on the launches but bogged 12.74 with a 5.884 330'
4th pass --- I thought this was going to be my should/coulda/woulda pass with a 5.486 330' then came the 2-5 shift :x
5th pass --- mad, I hotlapped to try again lol. 12.598 @ 116
6th pass --- crappy 60 12.680 @ 115
Then they shutdown to prepare for the bracket racing so I decided to soften the dampening on my rear suspension and borrowed a guys tire pressure gauge. That's when I saw I was over 40psi in the tires haha. Dropped them down to 25psi. Upped the boost to around 13.6psi and launched a little harder...
7th pass --- 2.006 60' got me a 12.387 @ 119.25
8th pass --- same setup 1.974 60' ended with a 12.363 @ 118.67
Overall I am very happy with the car, especially running that good on those tires. Car ran perfect all night and gave me no problems. Drove up with the A/C blasting and drove home with the top down lol, was a good night!

Thanks guys!
And thanks Tony for the parts, service and advice along the way! http://www.t1raceparts.com/
Lol, I hated it! I tried to shift as quick as possible since it was so close to the traps. That is just a weird feeling shift haha!

Re: First passes in the S2000....
90-91mph in the 1/8.
I'll admit, I wasn't shifting fast at all nor was I trying to really. Just thought maybe this was a sign of something like the BOV not flowing enough or something. But sounds like the granny behind the wheel is to blame

Re: First passes in the S2000....
if you shift 1-4 as fast as you did 4-5 you'll probably be in the 11's already on streettires, mph should come up also.
i don't know how scared you are for your diff, but if you don't completely lift but only like 50%, boost should be coming back up much faster
bolder launches, faster shifting and not completely lifting should get you easily into the 11's
other then that, SEXY CAR

Re: First passes in the S2000....
Thanks guys!
Since these passes were the first passes and early in the year I wanted to take it easy on the car because right now I can't swing a new tranny and want to enjoy the car this summer.
Late fall it will make an 11 sec pass before I put it up, no doubt. If the cooler air and better driving doesn't do it I'll get some tires that will lol!
