EK24a2. Meh. Was fun, really fun. Now moving on. Waiting on a guy to purchase my shell after he does his taxes, and that should pay for most of the parts I need to get this done.
Here is the s2000 (2002)
Just got the carbon fiber roof. Need to take it back off and strip the soft top and frame and motors (90 pounds worth of shit I hear and the top weighs 26ish).
Found a Berks UHV Dual Exhaust. Should be here soon.
I won a set of brake rotors from www.r1concepts.com on Facebook on Friday...
i have the rear end completed. this ford 8.8 rear end is going to be nasty.
i have misplaced the engine to transmission bolts... need to order them. getting the chassis towed to the shop by next weekend, and having them drop in the motor because i don't want to drop the subframe in my garage.
finally finishing up the hard part. ready to get rolling so i can design the plate for the rotrex. i see some of the kmiatas going. they may be interested in this plate too...
i then milled the k series inlet face perpendicular to the other face and welded a b series spacer to clear the idler pulley if i decide to keep AC. (AC is another issue i'm sorting out.)
Also, went back to an s2000 intake manifold. Boring out to 70mm. Everything in red is going to be gone. Just having a 45 degree bevel done and doing the rest by hand. The runner closest to the intake is very close. Straight through on most of it except by the runner. More pics on that later when the machinist at my shop has time to do it between jobs.
I really want a ktuned 80mm lol. I'm jelly of childstar's throttle body. Maybe I can get two blank plates and mill them myself from 80 to 70 mm tapered. Just a thought....
So what did you have to change to get the ac hooked up? I was told by Ballade Sports that there wasn't any way to hook the ac up with their kit, but if I have to modify a few things to make it work, that would be awesome.
2nrs of Springfield kswap mounts, you have to get a friend to push the motor towards the passenger side while tightening the bracket bolts on the bottom.
Yeah, I just got my swap kit in this week and was wondering about my options on mounts as well. What was it that you didn't like about the ones with the Ballade kit?
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the front mount either. So, where is the driver side mount attaching to the block at with the 2nrs mounts? And the the 2nrs mounts have the engine positioned closer to the passenger side wall? Does this cause any clearance issues with the exhaust manifold?
Haha. That was too good! And yeah, shouldn't be any issues there. I'm gonna follow your lead with the 2nrs mounts. I really like the idea of using the stock mounting positions, and I'm gonna have a buddy over to help with the install anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the help buddy!
this works for the upper coolant line with the k-tuned upper housing for k24a2/k20z3 heads.
