Default Before..Then... NOW

I purchased my s2000 back in January 2009. For as long as i can remember the s2000 was my dream car to have. Starting off with a delsol at the age of 15 that was given to me by my brother, and then owning multiple hondas and wheeling and dealing hondas since i finally purchased my 2000 s2000. Through out the years it has went through a lot.. and let me start from the beginning.

Day 1!!! in my garage


Then came the paint choice.... Apex Blue Pearl


Then my first turbo set up..



But Struggled to make 403hp


So then it was time for a new engine.. found a killer deal on an f22c with 50k miles and made 436hp.
along with the new engine came some more goodies. Fenders are all carbon fiber. just taped the one part off.













Then came my custom made filter box.. made of 16G aluminum




Well then came the crappy months of PA and the weather got bad.. ended up melting a piston/ring lands on the f22c on a colder day :/ so it was time to build once again!!
New additions to the ebay roll bar, bars go whole way through into trunk.


little change up for the exhaust

And it was time to really strip this thing down and get a little weight off this pig and clean things up a bit






after many hours of welding and bondo it is time... The paint is the same paint my 1999 integra was. Flamenco Black Pearl (has a lot of Blue pearl)





have the head milled and ready for the NEW Allen Built short block from inline pro


Now just waiting for my block to be ready from inline pro and then ill be off to the dyno!!! hoping for 550hp on pump gas.. will be daily driven/beaten so should hold up!!


Specs are as of now:
precision 6262 .82ar
pfab top mount LOG manifold
custom exhaust out the fender
custom charge piping built by ramey built of virginia
id1000cc injectors
walbro 255
turbosmart ultragate 38mm wastegate
50mm tial Q bov
hondata KPRO
custom intake box
cwest kit with CF canards
siebon Carbon Fiber +10mm fenders
18x9.5 rota D2's
gay corbeau seats that will be replaced asap
ebay/custom roll bar
engine bay shaved and wire tuck
Allen built short block
ap2 head with f20c cams
inlinepro diff conversion
bilstein pss coilovers
front lower and rear lower brace
probably missing things but hoping for 550hp for a daily car that can take the beating and not break.

Thanks for looking!!!!!

Thanks everyone!! im from Clearfield, PA. more of right in the middle kind of near State College (Penn State)

yeah im going to be pushing the limits of the manifold.. i could have got a different one but im just attached to it for some reason. its my first set up and i havent maxed it out yet so in my eyes there is no reason for change. some day i may swap it out for a pfab equal length mani because i wouldnt have to make many changes to the exhaust and i love the position of the turbo right beside the valve cover.. i will keep everyone updated of the results from the dyno and this is no where near finished. who knows whats next!!
