Roush KB 1.7 swap update (dial up warning)

[sstrayer]

I haven't been posting here in a while, just thought I'd give an update on the S2 to KB 1.7 update. We started the install last week. Removed the old intake, and put in the new one. Also removed the gt fuel tank although we havn't put in the cobra one yet.

I am missing a few misc parts (throttle linkage bracket, some small bolts and couplers) so it is on hold for the time being. A buddy in my club lives up in Perris so he's going to try and get the few parts from KB that I need since he knows someone that works there. Hopefully we can get it done by next weekend, although it'll be a few weeks til I get it tuned since I'm waiting on my tuner.

Here's some pics:

Looks like a fun time. I didn’t see any photos with beer in them.

Looking forward to your progress. Hope you make it up to the Saleen show.

Cool. When we see my car, you can check out your old RIPP pipe that I restored.

Well after going on a scavenger hunt for misc parts, we got it done this weekend. I still need to wait for my tuner when he has some time so I can get into boost.

Oh I'm debating about spliting up my S2 modified parts, if anyone local in SoCal wants them at a reasonable price (I would need your old parts).

I'm actually getting it tuned locally at www.DPRsocal.com. One of the owner/mechanics is a good friend along with being a member of the car club I'm in.

The current tune feels good so far, car is driving fine. I haven't romped on it yet, also need to get my clutch pedal adjuster fixed along with some other misc things. I'm waiting to hear back when I can get scheduled in.

I finally got it tuned this past weekend. I hit 395rwhp // 410rwtq, the tune still needs a bit of work. Car's getting the new e hood and wing added next week so it will be down for a while longer. I like it so far
