S2000 Turbo
Coming Soon:
Inline Pro fuel rail
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
AEM 150 psi fuel pressure sensor
I believe I ran out of fuel pressure/flow during my first dyno session. Once the new parts are installed, I should have upgraded every part of the fuel system except the lines themselves. The next time I head to the dyno, I'll be trying for 16 psi held to redline (instead of tapering down to 10 psi) and 500 whp or bust.
Installed December 29, 2008:
Automotive Speed (Asura Design) 3" exhaust - stock look, 3" performance.
Here you can see my old and new exhausts side by side. The old Borla/Megan racing exhaust was probably just as quiet as the new one (maybe quieter), but the look tended to draw even more attention than a yellow S2000 already does... The new one is MUCH higher quality (though both are TIG welded mandrel bent stainless steel).
Current Turbo/Engine Setup:
TC's Performance built the new manifold, downpipe, 3" exhaust, redid some of the intercooler piping, installed a SPEC stage 2 clutch, and rebuilt the engine with Golden Eagle HD sleeves, Arias 9.5:1 pistons, Pauter rods, and ARP head studs.

And finally, the dyno charts. I did 100% of the tuning myself. The runs at DynoPro are from a DynoJet 248C. The Carz Customs dyno runs were from earlier that day when I was tuning the car. They run a Superflow dyno. The one with boost on it has an accurate curve, but the numbers are WAY off. My EMS was showing 16 psi peak dropping to 10 psi at redline.
Some of the coolest things here are the TIG'd heater control bracket designed to relocate the heater control valve, the relocated battery and polished battery box, swappable A/R ratio turbine housings, and completely custom top mount stainless steel turbo manifold. You won't find these on any other S2000. Datalogs have since shown minimal change in spool with the larger housing, but much more fuel was necessary after VTEC and more timing could be added before knock occurred. Summary- minimal change in spool, but a nice gain in efficiency.

Equal length ceramic coated top mount manifold
0.82 a/r turbine housing with 3" conical discharge and V band flange- ceramic coated and swappable with a 0.63 T3 based housing with ceramic coating and V band flange (you can see both in the pics- the dull one is my old .63 T3 based housing and the shiney one is my new GT based 0.82 housing)
Soon: 3 bar MAP sensor + more boost
These are the pics from my old turbo install.
This was installed again with help from MandSProduction. Collins Muffler in Loveland, CO built the downpipe and intercooler piping. I installed the AEM and tuned it and also helped Collins with as much of the installation as possible (though like the Monte, I still can't weld). The kit has since been redone by TC's in my pursuit of even greater power (nothing against Collins or MandS- I have still used them extensively for new work on the Monte).
