pff, i wish i thought about this earlier.

About the starvation problem, with your current setup it is way better then stock. But i think a bit of baffling is just that extra thing.

Thing i'm frustrated about right now is that i already got a bunch of 06 hose and couplings.

Its hard to find out what to use for the fuel system. Hose, pump, filters. I wonder if 2 pumps isnt overkill. And i also wonder if an06 is to small. Or i should go for double an06 all the way and one return. But that does need 2 pumps in that case.

Were u got that sump from?

Stock tank has baffling. It actually works out perfect when a sump is installed. I ran 2 pumps, 1. b/c its over kill, 2. when i graduate college my familiy is purchasing a 3 rotor as a gift to me. Everything im doing is going to be setup to use on a 3 rotor, with the exception of a few things like the trigger wheel.

WHat are your goals?

I dont have a "goal". I make whatever happen happen. Whereever it stops making power it stops, weather it be 300hp, 500hp, 700hp ect.

Same story here.

Current plans now are getting in running with the stock turbo. Expecting or hoping for 300whp.

And after while body kit, V-mount upgrade and other turbo. And after a few yeas when that gets bored, maby bridge port.


Still thinking about what to do. Sounds like the best plan, but for now with 2 pumps, thats overkill. Could plug one outlet and use only one pump

Thanks! I choose to do this much work. It all pays off in the end. I beleive im going to choose to base and clear the interior as well. Wellllp, the underneith is pretty much done, the interior is pretty much done...you know what comes after that? Body work, get into primer! My feelings about this in order:

Im still going strong! I have been working on a few other projects at the same time. I do ALOT (way to much) of free work for friends, IE;: sandblasting, painting, engine builds ect ect. I have decided to leave Ohio for a bit, take a break from college and all the other bs and rest in Oregon were my Gf resides. The soley, main reason to leave was to save money to finish my car. It is so hard to save money back home when i can stack up junk cars, fun toys, have partys, pretty much anything beacuse its not in the city. My gf stays in a high-end appt. complex and im obviously not aloud to bring anything "fun" to the complex. Her garage stores her car and i would never want to put her car outside. With that being said, all i can do is save money and buy car parts to finish my car. I have a decent job lined up that i should hear from this week and i plan on staying here until Thanksgiving / Christmas. After Christmas i should have a huge pile of parts just waiting. I have a mockup block ready to set in to make the manifold, exhaust, IC ect ect.. Stay tuned as there is going to be some interesting things come about, for sure.


It took me a LONG time to find a S2000 like this. 2005 (AP2 but still Cable TB ) 24k miles, Orignal Elderly Owners, "Never seen the rain". Although it Does have its Flaws it's a incredibly nice car and paid a pretty penny for it.

Ang and her S2k (ANGS2K)
