I've been lagging on posting these photos of a recent modding session with a friend of mine. We put in about 6 hours of work total, and suffice it to say my back was completely obliterated by the end of it. Here's what we accomplished:
My car:
- Valve adjustment
- MAP sensor upgrade to 4 bar
- Slim radiator fan swap
My friend's car:
- Fan shroud mod to accommodate a 4'' intake tube!
- Showroom-quality cleaning job
My buddy's car is the silver one while mine is black like my soul. He's working on getting my airbox out here:
You can see just how massive that 4'' intake tube really is in these pics. It goes down behind the radiator fans and ends up under the passenger headlight inside the bumper. After swapping his slim fan over to my car, we had to actually chop a couple spokes off the fan shroud to get my stock fan to fit in my friend's car!
Selfie! Yes, I did work as well.
The results of my valve adjustment at 65,000 were typical of most S2000s--all my valves were tight! I couldn't get a single feeler into place. The first thing I noticed after firing my car up afterwards was how loud the valvetrain had become! I'll be doing this every 40,000 miles from now on.
Right now I'm taking care of some maintenance items:
- Engine oil change
- Clutch fluid change
- Transmission fluid change
- Differential fluid change
Should be pretty easy. After my injectors and clutch, I'll be ready for boost!
Cheers,
