Another turbocharged S2000 close to completion

Easy with the pressure guys

..... this is my everyday car and I am an amateur with drag racing.

The car had a few problems with the turbo bolts before the drag. Turbo-manifold bolts got loosened the day before. Temporarily fixed. Then when I got to the drag the 3 bolts holding the dump pipe felled off completely

I had to spend most of the morning and noon to find 3 bolts and reattached the dp.

I got 2 runs around 1400. I babied the diff on both runs. The 2nd run, which I missed 3rd gear, was 13.3 with 60' of 2.7 and trap of 117mph.

The last run was in the afternoon. I deflated the tyre pressure and raiseed launch rpm to 3700 rpm. I did a half decent burn out.....but still a lot more than I ever done in this car before. The clutch bited too quick on release.......LOUD BANG!

I thought the diff housing cracked, but my friend told me today that one of the axle broke. I am in the process of getting a new r200 diff.

I think I got a long way to learn to get to what online got.......please no flaming.....<firesuitisbackon>...I don't think my car will ever get there to be honest. I'll be happy if I ever get low 11 in this car.

im jus wondering how much did it cost u for turbocharging ur s2k?... like all up???... if u dun mind coz dats one beasty s2k...

I think the cost of mod (s) and my time on the car is getting close to the cost of a second hand s2k. However you won't have much fun if you keep looking at the bank balance.

There is a price for everything but it's worth it so far.....just as long as the turbo doesn't fall off :P

Props to you 9krpm! I don't see why you would get flamed

Once you fix those problems you'll be running some awesome times

Online's car is a custom built drag machine not used on the road... I'm sure that once 9krpm sorts out the little problems and gets in some more practice at the strip, he'll have one of the fastest street hondas.

Good luck 9krpm
