I'll always be here to watch for this and tell all of what you have posted in the past. You have also been known to post about how our rear diff is like "glass". This is not necessarily true. It is like "glass" because of the kind of driving and abuse that it's owner puts the car through. Need I remind people of what I'm talking about? You have also admitted that you yourself do not do much of the work on the car. You pay someone else to do it for you. You sit in the corner and at best, watch. To speak in terms that would lead others to believe you truly know first hand what is going on is a tremendous dis-service to all who read your posts and I, for one will NOT allow this to happen.
Well, I've heard of other non-boosted S2ks with similar mileage have the intake retainers crack in half.
I don't think it is associated with the blower.

PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US about my "endless" problems. Yeah, the differential broke. So? I do drive my cars hard. 11 Psi on this engine for over a year now without any major trouble. I went through the stock clutch, and I went through the Exedy Hyper Single clutch as well. Although, that clutch didn't need to be changed, I found it was too aggressive for the street.
Anything else? You want to spew out my info, go ahead. Bring it on.
My car has been running great.Looks like Wesmaster bowed out of his end of the deal. Remember last year when he said he'd have his turbo system up and running, and making more power than I ever did? Last I checked he was in the marketplace selling his broken dream.

Sorry Xviper. I will make sure the rest of my posts read:
NEVER GO OVER 7 PSI OF BOOST IT IS UNRELIABLE.
Done. You win pal.

Wouldn't you consider the broken valve spring retainer a problem?
I know Xviper wants me to say it's related to the blower, so I guess I will. Even still, over a year and something like 30,000 kms or so on 11 psi of boost while driven HARD is pretty good.

Look Jason, I won't get into a pissing match with you here but if you want, go for it!
We all know that at one point, you prided yourself (and liberally bragged about how great your Supra was) to the point of dissing your S2000. In fact, you even stated that you simply "gave" it to your girlfriend, implying that it just wasn't "good enough" for you. You bragged so much about your great Supra (on this S2000 forum) that it really was getting pretty lame. We grew sick and tired of you constantly coming here to rub our faces in it. And now, all of a sudden, the S2000 is something to talk about? Why? What's the "real" story here? Driving your blown S for over a year? How can that be? You gave it to your girlfriend, right? And you drive your Supra all the time, right? How can you drive your S full time, too? You are truly gifted. Dual personalities, perhaps?
So what about the fact that you don't work on your car but give big bags of money to someone else to do it? We've seen enough posts from guys who "heard" this and "seen" that to realize these sorts of "stories" hold less credibility. You've even admitted to me (WAIT! Make that "brag") that all you do is sit in the corner "shit-faced" while your mechanic did the work. You also say you sit there and eat your sandwich while watching. I highly doubt you had the dexterity at the time to even hold a sandwich.
You make posts after long bouts of absence with little bits and pieces of information without any relevant backup. You diss our car for having something break because you drive the crap out of it and you make it sound like it is a common problem. If you really think that your setup had nothing to do with your broken retainers, you may not only be blatantly arrogant but also tremendously naive.
The S2000 means nothing to you but to have the ability to use it to post about it to a "perceived" audience. You like the attention. You are not here for any true enthusiasm for the S2000 or for being any type of altruist. You are not helping anyone with your information. Heck, you even tried to make a buck by trying to sell those pulleys.
As for finishing all your posts with "NEVER GO OVER 7 PSI OF BOOST IT IS UNRELIABLE."? Pretty childish, no? Noone ever told you you needed to do this. It's not what you post. It's "HOW" you post and what you leave out.
As for "winning". I'm not here to "win" anything. I'm just here to make bloody sure noone LOSES because of what you print here.
And for someone who is "done", you sure have a lot of "and furthermores".

Big jerk

'coz it was 38c out here this week.

When I drive the cars, I drive them hard. I just had to park the Supra to get a new shortblock for it. The 106,000 mile engine is just too tired.

Hey, I earn every cent to modify my car. I COULD be like some spoiled college kid with a black turbo S2000...
So what if I get someone else to do the work? I have enough hobbies and things to do, I don't have time to work on my own cars.

I believe the differential -is- a fairly common problem. Also, alot of people complain about the stock clutch.
If you really think that your setup had nothing to do with your broken retainers, you may not only be blatantly arrogant but also tremendously naive.
Enlighten me, o oracle of F20c

I'm not? I think I've helped several members who have followed me by going to an AEM, smaller pulley, and larger injectors.
Heck, you even tried to make a buck by trying to sell those pulleys.
Why not? They work.

I just don't wanna get flamed. Remember, if I can't post knowledge first hand, I guess I shouldn't say anything.
Repeat: Do NOT go with an aftermarket pulley. YOU WILL BREAK INTAKE RETAINERS.

Yeah. I agree.
To sum it up:
1. Stick with the stock pulley
2. AEM + injectors + smaller pulley = broken intake valve retainers
You've all been warned.
You always want to fight with me!

I think what it boils down to is that if you know what you are doing, or don't but have the money to pay someone who does, then you can mix and match all sorts of parts.
If you aren't experienced in these areas and don't have extensive financial resources with nothing better to do then I suggest starting with the very basic kit as per Comptech/Vortech.
Ken - you can download the instructions from the Comptech web site. I'd wait until the kit arrives then compare it to the list. Any bits that are missing you can source either secondhand or from Comptech.
