All the threads were clogged from the anodizing so i shipped that back. Think i might just hit the oem cover with some airplane stripper and wet sand it to polish it up and then powder coat it clear to seal the deal. Might do the blue chrome as well, i’m still on the fence. Gonna do the calipers red or thanslucent red with a chrome base. That sucks. That cover was a cool color too. ---

Thanks. Yeah the valve cover was a great color. The boys at CRC have my intake manifold now and i’ll be dropping off my valve cover to them along with my brakes in the near future for powder coating. ---

More parts on the way! Comptech Supercharger kit came in yesterday along with the inline pro fuel rail and autometer roll cage gauge pod mount. Powdercoated intake maifold shoud be done thusday or friday evening. OEM Caliper rebuild kits are coming in this week from Saratoga honda and the calipers will get dropped off the same time i pick up the intake manifold. Capital region Customs is doing all my powder coating. On the way: AEM digital oil pressure gauge AEM digital Oil temperature gauge (I think i’m going to mount the oil gauges right in the dash to avoid the clutter on the roll cage) 2 more autometer gauge pod mounts (may not use these, may also use these if i can rig up an actuator under the passenger airbag cover and have them rise up from the dash via a switch) Greddy oil filter sandwhich plate for the oil gauges AEM digital boost gauge OEM Caliper rebuild kits red valve stem caps Things i still need: AC relocation line kit from ghettocrxsi (Yes i’m putting the AC back in lol, it’s necessary when i get stuck in rain and my windshield fogs up) Walbro 255lph fuel pump ID1000cc injectors and clips SOS 3 bar map sensor SOS race heat exchanger AEM Series 2 with map from Evans Tuning followed by a dyno tuning apointment to refine ---

Arrived: Greddy oil filter sandwhich plate for the oil gauges OEM Caliper rebuild kits red valve stem caps With the engagment and all i’m changing a few things with my build for the immediate time being. I’d aldo like the car to be able to pass inspection this year (and have the parts to change it back to pass inspection if i end up with an aem stand alone), at a later date i’ll be adding the injectors and probably a k-pro for tuning and more power. I’ve decided to run the comptech kit with the rrfpr (just picked up a used but just rebuild one with the fuel line and fittings), the esm and a walbro 255. So the only things i need to get this thing on the car right now is a comptech esm and walbro 255 fuel pump. I also need to order a new comptech air filter and crank pulley (did get shiped with my kit, but i did get refunded for it). According to competech it should get 350 hp at the crank with the exhaust, and that should hold me over for a couple months. So now i need (to install): comptech esm walbro 255lph fuel pump AC relocation line kit from ghettocrxsi Fuel pressure gauge for the fuel rail comptech air filter comptech crank pulley In the very near future: ebay upgraded heat exchanger bosch cobra water pump In the more distant future: 1000cc ID injectors AEM series 2 or K-pro with sensors SOS 3 bar map sensor ---

Installed my alloy craft heater hose relocation bracket last night and removed the heat shield. Getting close to finished with the engine bay, just need to powder coat the valve cover now and then get a header (or shave my extra oem heater) and heat wrap it. Also need to order the ac relocation lines. before: ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0329.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0329.jpg) after: ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0330.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0330.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0332.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0332.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0333.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0333.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0334-1.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0334-1.jpg) ---

Just need to pick up my brake rebuild kits from Saratoga Honda this weekend and get the brakes over to Mike at CRC now.

Picked up a C31 jumper harness from boomslang today. I’m going to tie my Comptech ESM into this to make it plug and play. I also should have the walbro 255 and larger heat exchanger ordered before the end of the day. Also bought 8’ of blue silicone 4 ply heater hose for the water to air heat exchanger and some dress up(though you probably won’t even be able to see it). lasty i have a synapse syncronic BOV on the way. Still need a couple more things but it’s coming together quickly. Going to hopefully drop my valve cover, blower housing and aftercooler off for powder coat this week too ---

Removed the valve cover yesterday. Still need to get the new powder coated intake manifold on, I think it’s gonna be a real PINA due to the bolts on the bottom side holding it on. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0047.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0047.jpg) Off to powder coat @ CRC! ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0046-1.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0046-1.jpg) Finally put on my new 06+ Door panels ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0052.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0052.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0049.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/IMG_0049.jpg) Ordering all the rest of my parts for the blower today, planning on installing it Saturday.

Figured i might as well get a hondata intake manifold gasket while i’m replacing it so i called up Synapse and ordered one this morning. Then i called honda and ordered the crush washers i needed. All set now, just waiting for parts to arrive. Also ordered a set of crv center caps for my enkeis, i’ll paint them black to match the rims ---

Update 3/22/12 Got a few more parts in last night. One order from mcmastercarr with some misc stuff and my order form CT Engineering came in. Also picked up my hondata intake manifold gasket from synapse and a couple crush washers from Honda. Also did some work on the car last night. I was able to swap the crank pulley fairly easily with the tool and i also hooked up the rrfpr. My main objective was to swap the intake manifold which still isn’t done, but it’s halfway there. The intake manifold is no easy job, lots of bolts in very tight places, it should be fun tryign to get the new one back on. Here is a couple pics: New crank pulley installed ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0367.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0367.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0366.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0366.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0368.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0368.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0369.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0369.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0371.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0371.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0372.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/S2000/IMG_0372.jpg) ---

Spark plugs, water to air heat exchanger and the rhd dash gauge pod came in today. Why rhd? because i’m going to cut/modify/fiberglass it where my dome light is. When it’s upside down it is angled perfectly towards the drivers seat. I’ll get a dome light that then goes onto the cage, there are a lot of them available out there for utvs and offroad rigs. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/02fc0316.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/02fc0316.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/e2b2d198.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/e2b2d198.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-s2000-build-thread-56k-beware/257028.md?page=15) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-s2000-build-thread-56k-beware/257028.md?page=17)
