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...
this build took a huge turn after the purchase of a v160 supra transmission. had to learn how to build/design/machine an adapter plate to work with the k series engine.
keep in mind that the runout from engine to trans needs to be within .005 of an inch for the bearings' longevity.
going to order the clockwise baffle next week just for shits and giggles. i'm waiting for my friend to finish making payments on my ek shell before i order most of my kit parts ballade sports.
but seriously, i need to fab up a plate like this:
Yea, my only enemy is time. Wish I had more money to put into the motor.
My exhaust came in, but haven't had time to put it on. (Bolts up into the factory location.). Need to finish putting my interior back together. Have new oem seats and just removed my soft top.
Here's a preview of the exhaust.
Berk's Dual UHV. I picked this because this is the only one I saw for the s2k that opened up after the collector. A single would have been better for performance, but doesn't look at good. This was my next option.
So I've named her Tamekia, Tia for short. Why? Well the meanest blackest thing I ever met was named Tamekia.
Forgot to mention that the s2k comes with EPS. So, I get to keep power steering...!
Anyways, I have more room in my garage now.
Next I'm taking the s2k to the dent doctor and will be getting the body to 100%. Looking for an ap2 rear bumper. To complement the rest of the ap2 rear end parts I have collected. Sheit, may pull the motor to have the bay painted too, but that depends on timing.
S90 70mm B Series Style Throttle Body. K Series won't work (as well). Too flipping bad too because I have a spare RRC with 70mm Hybrid Racing Throttle body with a new K-Tuned TPS sensor on it. **shakes fist** at least I can use the RRC on my daily 8th gen civic Si...
I hope that this will bolt up like it would to a civic. Boosterless Wilwood Master Cylinder. In this pic, I'm looking at the remote ballast setup.
Dropped my exhaust the other night and installed the Berks. Won't have time to go to an exhaust shop to level out my mufflers until this weekend.
Supposedly, this is their first production run from their fabricator. Looks nothing like the pic, and the chrome coating is a turnoff. Supposed to be a ceramic coat, but did not expect a chrome ceramic. it's a polished ceramic, and ballade offer a different coat instead. did not offer a different material.
I was happier with my hybrid racing budget header I had for my ek.
Sending this piece back with the quickness.
ASP here I come.
**edit** i was expecting more from the header, but i'm willing to spend more to get what i want. customer service is pretty quick at ballade though, fyi.
Update. My Magnus manifold is off a little where you bolt down the fuel rail. DAFAQ!
Have a lot of stuff going on in life out and haven't had a chance to mess with the project until this weekend.
Got the engine out, sold. Will be designing my own header. Wish I was Baller enough to build the motor and put FI on it, but that can wait. Slowly learning I have more bills than wanted after buying my house.
Looks like I can get AC to work. Houston summers are the worse.
Adaptor plate and flywheel. Fucking thing is heavy. 15 pounds.
FX350
Innovative mounts. Wish I would have known one of the mounts will be in front of everything on the support bar.
Finally looked through the build thread with my busy self. Can't wait for this!
