Looking really good though.....AndyH

hi

very nice install, im looking at fitting a S2000 engine into a kit car as i have a s2000 i am breaking and seems a shame to let the engine and running gear go,

Im mainly interested in your wiring as i was told you would not be able to use a stock ecu and you have done so,

have you just used the stock engine wiring loom and ecu? have you had to by pass any wires/sensors?

thanks rob

[Tilly819]

I got told the same thing, " oh you wont be able to do that" "thats not possible" etc etc

just got the engine loom, under dash loom ecu, ign barrel and key. chopped out all the redundant wiring (about 90% of it) put in some new fuses and relays for lights, fuel pump etc turned the key, touched the wires together and away she went.

you NEED a copy of the WORKSHOP MANUAL, it has all the wiring diagrams in it, available from the bay for about £4

oh and fit a sump guard, dont ask how i now, it was an expensive and stupid mistake *doh*

dead easy really
any questions just ask

Well after my expencive mistake ^^^^ lack of sumpo guard ^^^ and a heavy passenger

iv finished rebuilding the S2K engine

Started up second try (battery was a bit flat first time)

Touch wood its ok, only had it running at idle.

still got TONNES of work to do before the shows start
New bonnet, new dash, full cage *maybe* , sump guard, yes definetly a sump guard, blank of the old exhaust outlet, repair a few scratches and dents, and give it a dam good wash and wax

What happened to the engine?

[Tilly819]

I took a rarther hefty friend out and put a hole in the sump starved the cam shafts of oil, so the exhaust cam picked up on 3 of its carriers, the timming pullt seized onto the bush it runs on and snapped the supporting bolt (very lucky it dont come out or it would have been a right off.
