any videos of you driving? curious to see how the car sounds...
Since I only had the car back for a short period after the turbo stuff due to weather and tearing it back apart. I didnt get any vid's of me driving this year will be much different though.
If your interested I have a video my good friend KJ took while I was down In TN for import alliance. But the car was super charged at the time

Thanks a lot guys really appreciate it!
Honestly I was on the verge of just selling it after tinkering with fitment and such Im in love with it. It will defiantly need some finesse to make it fit how I want but I feel like it will be a nice custom piece that will stand out.
ATL was a blast and I am considering moving in the near future. Sad that I didn't see your car at the event where you there?
Well guys here's where the build is at now.
I don't know if some of you noticed or not but I will be switching up a few things in the bay.
I recently sold my Full Blown Twin scroll manifold and GTX35R Turbo Along with downpipe dump tubes and a few other odds and ends.
The manifold was sold because I had some clearance issues. Since I had my bay shaved material was added to my strut towers to smooth them out so the wastegate sat pretty close to it. So I really didnt want to run the risk of it hitting my bay every time the motor would wind up on high rpms.
Ok here's the updates!!!
after experiencing boost I knew I wasn't going to go back to n/a
I purchased a borgwarner turbo now I would have loved to go with an efr series however wait time and factoring in that I would have changed a ton of things such as getting rid of my waste gates and bov and such (wait time was the real killer for me) I decided to go with something that was much more currently obtainable seeing as how I really want to drive my car this summer seeing as how I really didn't drive it much last year or the year before.
This is the Turbo I decided to go with
BorgWarner S300SX FMW Turbo 1.10 a/r with 3" v-band and cupped tip turbine wheel option
Purchased a new manifold from full race to pair up with this turbo
I got lucky on timing !!! There was an Event over here in NJ that full race was attending so Raffi from full race brought the manifold down and spared me shipping charges. Really awesome guy plus its always nice to put a face and name together.
my friend took a close up pic of the new mani at the event *pic was taken with hipstergram (also know as instagram) lol
here's a shot with the gates and turbo bolted up
and another with the velocity stack on
here is the new custom Downpipe tacked up
to clean up the bay more I had my bottom rad support chopped out and it was replaced with a custom steel bar. The bar was probably not necessary by any means but in my head I think everything oem is placed for structural integrity so it was kind of like a peace at mind type thing plus I honestly like the look of it alot! The Bar will most likely be painted black or silver to blend in with the bay more.
also since I went with a custom beefier radiator I also decided to upgrade fans as well. I believe each fan pushes approx. 950cfm
I recently just sold my radiator cooling plate
considering I don't need hood latch holes anymore or holes for the radiator stays im having something custom made to go with a bit cleaner look.
just a quick Photoshop but this is my idea tell me what you guys think!
I got a few more small parts on the way in the next week or so and still got a bunch of ideas floating around in my head as usual for the rest of the build. As of right now the car is getting tied up with fitting everything and fabrication on some parts. Mostly everything is coming out of the bay again and the car is going back to the body shop. I'm not 150% on the paint in the bay as you guys might know I'm anal about my s so im having so im having the bay repainted because the shade was off a bit and the texture of it wasn't exactly how I wanted it. My body shop guy without a hesitation was more then happy to fix anything I wasn't happy with. Its awesome to work with people that really care about their customer and enjoy their job!
If your local and need paint/body work done Josh from croll's customs is a great guy to see.
Local S2000 owner Jeff (minitoyota on the boards) and S2000 genius as I like to refer to him as. Has been doing most of the work on this car and I cant stress enough how awesome he is. If you guys ever need work done and your in range of getting to Jeff he is the go to man.
Also My Invidia Exhaust is for Sale !!!! The price is pretty cheap !!!
