S2000 Turbo Drain Solution!

This is absolutely the best placement for a Turbo or Supercharger oil drain on an S2000! A -10 AN fitting is welded to the front chain cover in the lower left hand corner. This area offers the perfect isolated location for the oil drain, and the high drain location eliminates back up in the line. It's also a more convenient location for the drain, allowing for a shorter, more direct drain line path.

XDC HIN Drift Event, April 14 2012: Phoenix AZ - DAY2

HIN Phoenix 2012!

We were all lucky enough to dodge the rain at the 2012 Hot Import Nights event at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix AZ.  The event seems smaller this year, no doubt due to the week long threat of rain.  But not a drop fell at the event on Saturday. Here now is a Fan's view of the drifting action, as Forest Wang Takes the win on Day 2. 

Worn S2000 Valve Guides... All too common problem!

Well we had a customer come in with a 2006 Honda S2000, only 65K miles, and a consistent #3 cylinder miss fire code. The compression numbers came back as #1-250, #2-250, #3-150, #4-250. In addition, we performed a leak down test and were able to see a %40 loss, and hear the exhaust valve leaking. It was clear that the head needed to be pulled. Here is a video of what the #3 exhaust valve looked like after it was pulled.


The side to side movement is due to excessive wear on the valve guide. This is an all too common issue with the S2000. This side to side movement leads to wear on the valve seat, eventually leading to a leak, compression loss, loss of power, and poor gas mileage!

The head was treated to a Bronze Valve Guide upgrade along with a full valve job. Because this head come out of a 2006 S2000, it was already equipped with the later model AP2 retainers.

Once the machined head was installed, the compression was back to 250 psi across the board! After only a few miles of driving, the owner said that the car was completely different. It was running perfectly smooth, and the power increase was dramatic!
