i own a 02 honda s2000 and i put a turbocharger on it recently and now the oil pressure is not right...its cranks up fine and then has an odd sound to it so i immediately turned it off because i recently replaced my head on the car 6 months ago because the intake side camshaft wasnt getting enough oil/if any at all...so now i dont wont to have the same issue again and i am wandering if you might know why my s2000 may not be getting oil to the camshaft...could it be the oil pump maybe? or maybe its the oil relocator kit i had to install on it because the turbo wouldnt fit correctly without it? do those have an exact way they need to be installed?

thanks
matt

 

do you know for sure your engine isn't getting the proper oil pressure? do you have any instrumentation? what numbers are you showing?

 

its at my mechanic/tuning guys house...and he told me everything that has happened so far...its been sitting for 2 years and i put on the new head with new a.r.p. head studs..but i got this odd relocation kit i had to get for it...the kit has 3 different pieces to it...one that connects to filter and one that connects to the engine which was the first kit but it was a cheaper one..then the 3rd piece is a light blue color and is a sandwich adapter and im thinking maybe how that is hooked up may be the problem...but im thinking it may be the oil pump, im not sure thats y im here and maybe somebody has had the same issue?

 

...and no im not sure if i am getting the proper oil pressure or numbers because idk what they even are supposed to be saying seeing how my car hasnt run with the turbo on it yet...my mechanic told me he did all this so i havent even gotten a chance to see the numbers for myself either...just know what he has told me so far...it made a weird noise then shut off after running good and idling fine...so now i am just extra cautious seeing how ive blown my head one time before..lmk what you guys think?

 

so you want us to try and tell you whats wrong with your car with basically no information? dude, im kinda in a good mood so im not going to be a total ******* to you, but you need to get oil pressure readings at the very least before any kind of help or advice can be given

 

thanks for taking it easy on me, never done these before...but yea i kind of was hoping for a miracle and one of you might know why the right side of the head (intake side) would go dry like that...like what things would u check for if that happened to your car...thanks anyway if you cant help tho

 

Before you post again, do these things:
1. get oil pressure readings. Whether you tee off the OEM sender and hook up a temp pressure gauge or you install a legit gauge... you'll need to know this. This will determine if it's a pump issue (too low), blockage (too high/too low), or some other issue

2. Break up your sentences with carriage returns and proper punctuation (at the VERY least, carriage returns). All I see are a bunch of words and ellipses, making it a chore to read your messages and making us less incline to want to help.

3. Get pictures of your oil filter/adapter setup.

 

When you took the head off did you check the oil galleys they may have been clogged or sludge may have built up scense it sat for a little while you might want to check that and doing an oil pressure test is the right thing to do first but i dont think it will tell you if the oil galleys are clogged or not

 

when i did the head my buddy is really good with all that stuff and we checked everything well under the head atleast and there was no sludge or nothing because i emptied out the oil and would fill it up every now and again. i also put in a blockguard and arp headstuds. unfortunately i had to reuse a couple of the camshaft bolts but other than that we had no issues in tearing it apart or putting it together. had a miner fuel issue but my ecu/tuning guy fixed that. i will go over there and get more information today/tomorrow but thanks still.
