lmfao. one day soon im sure. especially when we go to OC. haha.

heres some pics.

 

well the first time i mounted it i realized the lines were backwards so i just flipped the solenoid upside down and now its right, its just secured to the strut tower bar with long screws with holes drilled a tiny bit smaller than the screw.

 

lol hey i tried. is that her in the one pic holding the downpipe?

 

some pictures from the install.

 

Car is looking sick. Where did you get the boost silnoid from ?

 

How long did the clutch end up taking you, Yammy?

I remember back before we had the lift in here, my father and I did his clutch on the ground on some jackstands, and it was a 7-hour affair.

BTW, get that thing down here. It needs a tune.

lol. it took me 4 hours. 1 hour of which was trying to decide what to do with the downpipe lol. and the other was bullshitting with guys from work about the car. so who knows how long it should really take. lol

you are a brave soul, although the s2k trans is very light, compared to that of a b-series trans, of course the main reason is lack of a diff in the trans.

mine will be blown all over the highway, makes for an even lighter s2k.

btw, im thinking about ordering the puddymod stage 3 diff here soon, then some lenso's, slicks, maybe even some skinnies. haha.

and yes rob, i will be there this tuesday. make sure to come.

 

Here's the results from Yambor's dyno adventure.



That was 20psi.

Here is 20psi vs. 10psi



- Derek

 

thats alot of boost to make 450whp.....

 

That plot was actually around 18 psi and remember this is through a log manifold.

When it was turned up past 18 it wasn't increasing much on the power side of things. The car was on the dyno for a while so I turned it back down and capped it at 18. The car runs pretty well at this level but I didn't feel the need of pushing it much harder with what was in the car.

 

couldnt have said it much better john.

thanks again for the help and advice through todays adventure.

the car feels great and power comes on very smooth. the graph doesnt really look like a turbo car, to a point. as far as the power comes on..

the drive home sucked , it started pouring as soon as we came in from a drive around the streets. poured all the way back into wv.

the log mani is def a restriction but 470 is plenty enough for the streets. 3rd gear feels, well, like, yeah. haha

 

great build. have fun and be safe with that ****.

 

edit:

after alot of confusion of the graphs that i do have, and the graph that got put up..

the correct numbers are 468/304.

the correct graph should be posted by Drob from IMW tomorrow.

 

Very nice built but it looks like Tony1 was right.

Tony1 or D-Rob
Do you think cams optimized for a turbo would have had the s2000 in the 600 whp range on the same manifold at 18-20 psi?

 

I would say definitely not. There is just no where for the exhaust to go with a manifold like this. There is not enough volume.

 

No, the log manifold is working against itself.

93turbo16, err John is 100% correct.

 

I had my lines on backwards on my solenoid to but thank god for Damian at TDautowerkes who told me the right way to do the lines. Ive never used a solenoid before so he was a big help! Turbo looks sick.....im def jealous

 

Cams with less duration would improve the performance on an S2K with a log manifold...

It wouldn't make 600whp at 18psi, but it would improve things.

 

just an update for the kids..

Well i WAS going to the track tommorrow BUT. its def not test n tune but rather a car show and pro stick races.

**** on that idea..

i guess that means..

time to do more things..

i acquired an mdx engine harness and a tl engine harness from work. that means, wire tuck time. there is no way id ever find a wrecked s2k around here, if there was one it would be raped already.

so off with the fenders..

oh and also, both lower manifold studs broke off.. that means, time to rip off turbo and install some arp studs.

got some work ahead of me but ill be sure to post up some more pics of the progress.

i have yet to be able to re dyno, its seems all i have been doing is working, beach, working, sick.

im also going to try and get my front lip repainted after a small encounter with the local curb i park next to at work. haha.

 

wow its been a long time....here are some updated piktchures..
as you will see things have changed..wire tucks..brake lines..etc


Engine Bay w/ Terminals


Terminal Location


Vacuum Bleeding the brakes


Backside of terminals

 

never heard of pfab but they sure put big welds on there manifolds.

 

legit son

 

Ive got a pfab. havent had a chance to test it yet though =( . Hopefully I have my build thread up and going before spring. Sucks being too busy to do the things you want....

Btw thanks for resizing those, Ive got a 21in moniter and those things were still off the side

 

CypressGreenDC2 (12:03:20 AM): if she's dumb, I'll just cover my ears and say "lalalalalalalalalalalalala" real loud
CypressGreenDC2 (12:03:42 AM): then she gets mad and walks away and I can look at her glorious bottom


thats right..

 

Looks good man
