Jenvey ITB Install Part 1 - Project BADASS2000 - EP03

[@iKRPictures]

I'm addicted to this series. Really helps with my winter blues. Can't wait to see this thing at the track. Thanks for the videos guys!

[@speedacademy]

+Kiru Senthilnathan Well thanks for watching!

[@monkylondon]

Can't wait to see her up and running!

[@invinciblejets4690]

How is this channel not more popular!?!

[@dakotaleenstra9281]

i know right, these guys are awesome. keep up the good work!

[@pswmetalmonkey]

+invinciblejets for real, but those retards on might car fail ( mods) get all the hits..

[@TheDumbassstunts]

actually they have been gaining more subs, a few months ago I think they had about 10k subs less

[@tagrav]

+Amun TOO it's because their production is better. and their jokes are funnier. This is a good channel but they chemistry isn't the same. I'd call speed factory a more 5th gear type show of car mods while MCM is more Top gear with all the silly humor.

[@pswmetalmonkey]

tagrav yes they have more money and production time but I prefer what these guys do. Besides those douches are Nissan and subi fanbois so the have strong bias plus these two guys are more technical minded and can actually track race properly where as mcm do bullshit drag racing.

[@BlakesGarage]

Those ITB's are going to sound AMAZING!!

[@jeffloker2444]

Can't wait to see the ITBs tuned and making sweet noise and hopefully, more power! You guys are great fun to watch! Very cool channel.

[@jonkat323]

Make an episode of relocating the battery to the trunk, along with a kill switch :D

[@raM3.54]

^this

[@georgemamo1830]

make it happen

[@cepsixty9]

i vote for that

[@cefb8923]

Yeah that would be interesting.

[@Alexzerian]

Voted for this

[@f22cap2s2k]

Instead of a catch can on my AP1 I opted for an 04-05 valve cover. It's got updated baffling and compatible with the F20C motor. I blew a cloud of oil smoke at the first autox in the new car, but after the ap2 valve cover I had no other issues on track. As for the battery, if you boys are playing ball a Braille battery in the trunk would be ideal (fuel cell in the future though?). Otherwise just take that battery you have and drop it in the back as Jon mentioned. Love it guys!

[@itzzToon]

ayyyeeee finally guys. it brought a tear to my eye when i saw this notification pop up on my phone. I might add that you guys might be the first to show a itb build on an s2000 👌👌 on youtube. I heard you like making up records Dave. lol

[@spazda_mx5]

A pink valve cover is definitely the way to go, and another vote here for a smaller LiPo (or similar) battery swap. Keep up the good work guys!

[@charlesmeyer8951]

Take a peek at the valve spring retainers for cracks if you haven't already. Good on you for going with NA setup, goes well with the spirit of the car & it's going to sound so good!

[@SilverStackers]

headers for sure. as for the tie down, spray it with VHT wrinkle black paint. i love that stuff. easy to use and looks great.

[@gordowg1wg145]

Just starting the video and comments so far... I have a set of the Jenvey TBs on a Cosworth KBA (SBD kit) and they are a very nice bit of kit. Use an air box with them - cuts down some of the noise and with a cold air feed has been proven to add power and torque (yes, I know they are derived from each other, with RPM) - it may also allow the continued use of an external air filter. Always order radiators with a drain plug/tap - can save a LOT of mess and faffing around. Appears that the fan mount is blocking a large area of the radiator off - if so, redesign it. With the cam' cover off, be a good time to reconsider and modify the breather setup* - some engines are better designed than others and a bit of trimming or bending can work wonders - it definitely shouldn't need two puke cans if it isn't suffering a lot of blowby, either way. *without having one in hand, from the interweb pictures it looks like this is where to start - the internal 'chamber' the breather is drawing from appears to have a single inlet on the opposide side and it appears possible for oil to build up in the baffle and pass out the breather tube - I would remove the baffle plate and drill a couple of small drain holes in the corners, to allow any accumulated oil to drain.

[@MacSpeed87]

Long extension, swivals help with the ones in the middle and rear on the bottom. the ones in the front come right out if you pull the alternator.

[@tictac4540]

you need a nice set of headers and a set of toda spec c cams

[@tomlololRS]

I binge watched the whole series today ... it's awesome!!!

[@speedacademy]

+TomVD Glad you enjoyed it. More to come!

[@jeffreymoore4132]

What I've found makes this job easier is to remove the alternator first. That way you can get at the bolts from the front and it's a bit easier to turn your ratchet. I also use this approach when lifting the head to get to so some of the braces. Thanks for the great content guys!

[@speedacademy]

See, we're always trying to save time but not removing parts but instead it costs us more time in the long run!

[@BryceandKyle]

Now I anxiously wait for EP04.

[@fpbibi]

That sound when it hits the floor. Priceless.

[@MrDiego57101]

you guys made my day!!! the waiting is over i taking all the notes i can. thanks guys really!

[@sunbun92]

Gonna sound awesome and I can't wait for the wider setup!

[@TheAussiefrog]

Thank god your sorting that cam cover it made me sad every time I saw it, keep up the great work lads

[@oddshop4542]

i'm going to do this on my car soon, well it already has itb's just need to open them up with stacks!

[@TheZisco]

another great video guys !! anticipated to see the badass2000 down the track !!

[@spooln30]

Tech Tip: Use those extensions with the locking ends for the sockets. Also using swivel sockets like the sets that Matco sells instead of just a socket and swivel. separate. My last observation would be to unbolt then motor mounts and raise the engine enough to gain space to access the lower intake manifold bolts. Just don't raise the engine too high that you damage the trans mount or stretch the engine wiring harness.

[@HandGunPat]

Run an odyssey battery, very common for light weight batteries. Run it to the back to clean up the bay a little bit too. Run it in a taylor aluminum battery box too.

[@ProfessorPyroarAR15]

literally couldnt wait to see this episode

[@itzzToon]

ikr. Been waiting months!

[@mondomoleno.3404]

If you want to spruce up the engine bay, I would recommend some JDM cred bling: I have a J's Racing oil cap that I really like the quality and look of. I have a Blox battery tie down I'm quite pleased with, too (they come in a variety of colours if you want to match up with your valve cover colour or contrast it somehow). Basically, when I want to spend money on my car, but I'm too broke to do something cool, I buy a little piece of hard parking e-peen extender, and it scratches the itch. In keeping with the theme of because race car, a lightweight battery would probably be a nice addition to the BADASS2000. It's easily one of the hardest places to shed weight on a car.

[@TimSumpton]

Getting those bolts out was about as fun as watching paint dry. But hey that is real life 😜. I'm sure anyone who has worked on their own car has felt that pain and tedium. Great series guys 👍

[@hiJrd]

makes my day when i see this build pop up on my subscriptions :), keep up the good work guys !

[@jdmcommute]

I recommend a Deka etx14 battery and an AMS battery tie down. Im doing the same on my STi and mounting the battery horizontal so I can remove the wiper fluid tank and replace that space with a oil cooler with ducting through the bumper. I picked up a 2n1 wiper fluid aluminum tank and catch can that will sit above the battery. Should be hella sick. I will be doing a review and install on my channel.

[@HamHavoc]

God damnit. You got my sub. This is easiest the best build/show on youtube. Great job you guys

[@blancA4blanc]

reminds me of my SC installation to my M42 BMW engine :) Nice work guys, made me wanna have ITB's in my S2K as well

[@TheCatMurray]

Shorai Lithium Ion battery + KC Machine tray. We've used shorai's a bunch on formula SAE/ eco endurance cars and they're great when treated well (and a little abused). you'll remove a claimed 20+ pounds over stock.

[@Djsndbruxnsbsw]

i live in toronto too, Can't wait to see this car on the track or streets 😃 keep up the high quality work

[@wolfy9005]

Last seen entering the motor abyss: 10mm 12 point socket with 2" extender. RIP. I kinda needed that socket, but I haven't seen it in a week so I think it is on the side of the road somewhere.

[@Shawn-vn6ze]

powder coat valve cover, silicon vacuum hose,undersized battery and aluminium tie down plate or relocate battery to the rear. Simple and clean :)

[@marcosaruca5283]

match the valve color with the body color

[@trevorwray]

+Marcos Aruca agreed!

[@seanhenry8030]

+Marcos Aruca Nope. Leave the valve cover alone and match the body to the valve cover. That's right, peeling wrinkle red s2000.

[@ChortSock]

+Sean Henry Hey man, you're on to something there.

[@marcosaruca5283]

+Sean Henry i just lold

[@aidanshmaden69]

Paint them both black

[@Mike_Pedals]

This car is going to sound amazing at the full 9300 rpm! Glad to see the S2k being kept NA, there's no reason to boost such a good engine.

[@PeterPorsche1]

I need more ! Love em ! Way better than the other YT-ppl

[@LucaCarMods]

I want to hear it!!! Almost 40K guys, good job.

[@easymail116]

+Speed Academy For the battery look @ the PasswordJDM Billet Aluminum Mini battery holder and an Odyssey PC680, saw it on S2ki, looks amazing and the price is fair. And of course, relocated to the trunk. And maybe a sweet dimpled coil pack cover, Circuit Hero makes one. Ap1 coil packs are problematic, had to replace mine when I installed the SC as cyl #2 was failing, now would be as good a time as any to replace and upgrade to the 05 coil packs, RockAuto.com is extremely cheap and ships fast. Can't wait to see more!!!

[@PolyFPV]

Another fantastic episode guys! Just FYI those Mishi rads have a drain plug for a reason. ;)

[@z32.justin53]

you guys have every thing i always wanna learn when i need it, keep it up!!!!!!

[@KyleTipton.]

it's about time! lol...I was driving to work and pulled over to watched it. When boss asked why 20min late!? I said speed academy video..he said it's all good, how's there s2000 coming along? lol

[@HeroGarage]

can't wait to see and hear it running with those ITBs!

[@wyattfair1957]

At 10:50 what are the blue and black things that look like a stack of tires? Are they a tire jacket or something?

[@SumnerKidd]

I think a full N/A build would be sweet, everyone goes F/I. Header, pulleys, ported/built head, stroked block, carbon fiber driveshaft are a few ideas I'll throw your way.

[@wolfy9005]

+SumnerKidd Aluminium is better, carbon fibre likes to shatter with the heat cycling. 1-2kg difference won't affect accel that much, Although a chrome-moly will last forever and you can get away with pretty thin wall thicknesses, almost equal in weight to an aluminium one but stronger

[@DubovyPaul]

+wolfy9005 but because of the flex of the carbon a carbonfibre drifeshaft gives a little bit of a punch in the higher rpm range and flattens some ditches in the powerband :)

[@DubovyPaul]

+wolfy9005 but because of the flex of the carbon a carbonfibre drifeshaft gives a little bit of a punch in the higher rpm range and flattens some ditches in the powerband :)

[@reidfenwick]

Congrats on 40k! Your channel is growing fast now!

[@wrenchingmenace765]

probably an optima battery relocated to the rear of the car with a master kill switch(exterior kill switch that replaces antenna if there's one)

[@eXtacycode]

omg!! That rx7 looks beautiful with the new rims

[@Emikolaitis]

If you want clean but simple, relocate the battery to the trunk, get an a/c line relocation kit, and rotate that fuse box against the fender and clean it all up. Also I don't think the vtech solenoid is used with the standalone

[@Emikolaitis]

Woops it's actually just the pressure sensor in the solenoid assembly. Just remove and sand clean to make it look better www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/777540-vtec-sensor-removal-bolt-install/

[@trixietoes3039]

I feel your pain about removing the S2000 valve cover, I kept screwing up gapping the valves so I had to do it over, and over, and over...

[@Fyxxterzc]

You NEED the Balladesports timing chain tensioner. Trust me. And that cam gear fixer they have for the timing correction.

[@everycarchannel623]

Should race EVASIVE's Supercharged S2000!! Also exhaust mani, some cams, valves/springs?

[@Cardfold11]

Get dual valve springs such as Ferrea Beehives or find a deal on a built/port matched head. In conjunction with a fluidampr crank pulley (far better than ATI in my opinion), the car can safely rev to 10,000+ rpm. Also get a different final drive for the differential. Factory ratio is 4.10, for the AP1 I would recommend a 4.56 or 4.77 gear. I can guarantee you that these mods with the ITBs would be lethal.

[@speedacademy]

+Cardfold11 WE've been considering a different final drive as it seems like a great addition to lower lap times.

[@Cardfold11]

+Speed Academy for sure! You will come out of sharp/ low speed turns already in the powerband. Also with the 4.77 you can truly feel a difference in straightline acceleration too.

[@_Erogaki]

so excited for the beams episode!

[@htpzt]

Does the filter go directly over the ITB's? It feels a bit wrong to get the air out of the warm engine bay. Maybe whever built the hatch of the RX7 can build you a nice carbon fiber airbox that bolts between the throttle bodys and the velocity stacks, possibly with a Naca duct in the hood as a intake. I can't think of any F1 car after the seventies with open ITB's like this.

[@DeKay]

Oh also for the battery get a Password JDM relocation kit and the Odyssey PC680 battery with terminal kit and relocate it to the trunk.

[@MC1796]

Did you guys notice any loss in structural rigidity due to the repair on the driver side front strut tower? I remember hearing that the x-frame design of the s2k doesn't take damage well.

[@KoiTimeUSA]

please repray the engine cover and battery latch...:) work itttt

[@KoiTimeUSA]

wheres part2 tuningand track workkkk

[@testing316]

"Like a blind guy in an orgy" lol! Great video, keep up the great work!

[@takis659]

I've got a suggestion for the headers. You guys should try Ballade headers, those things make magic hp happen.

[@dannysmith6776]

a site called tegiwa imports is ur friend chaps plus when is part 2 of this love the S2K build alot!!

[@ayowser01]

You guys should consider doing a header comparison: J's vs Mugen vs Toda vs Ballade Sports vs Urge Designs.

[@Biwaqu]

I'm new to this channel but it's great! Keep up the good work. I wish car tuning here in Germany would be as easy as in the US :/

[@speedacademy]

+Biwaqu Thank you for liking our channel! We've been to Germany several times and now how expensive the car tuning scene is because of TUV. But you have the Nurburgring so it all makes up for it!

[@jameannohere]

Judging on the work done so far, the head and the exhaust manifold need some work to breathe as well as the itb’s. Short term, long tube headers. Long term, built head and port and polish. As far as the battery I would just get a smaller battery as it doesn't need to many amps to crack over and new terminal clamps.

[@RBGgermanKX250F]

get a braille battery if you want to save some weight and get some really good exhaust headers. oh and valve cover painted in body colour if they have it in the wrinkle effect like the original one

[@itsluisandres]

Dude with the black hat and black jacket reminds me of the guy from the new NFS game when he smiles lol

[@john_pryce9855]

I have no clue what the weight distribution is like in an s2000 but maybe do a rear mount battery ? Just a suggestion !

[@KoiTimeUSA]

lightweight 1/2 size honda oddesey battery they use in kings performance turbo kits. :)

[@Brock_Landers]

I would kill to have a F20C in my Civic with my current turbo kit. I have a 97 EK Civic coupe with a B18B1 swap with a 63 trim T04e Turbonetics turbo and an Integra GSR transmission running on 8 lbs of boost. I am in dire need of a LSD and some sticky tires but you can see a short pull video that I uploaded on my personal channel. Right now I'm getting ready to turn up the boost with some bigger injectors, a new MAP sensor, and get a new tune. Right now it's running on a P28 on Crome Pro on a copy of my buddy's B20 turbo tune so it runs really rich under boost. It's not anything like your S2000 or RX7 build but I did everything myself and it's my sleeper. I love it.

[@speedacademy]

+Robert Keeton Very cool! We love the fact that you built it yourself, that to us is way cooler than anything that is paid for. BUILT NOT BOUGHT FTW!

[@Brock_Landers]

+Speed Academy Thank you! I'm always quick to give complements to anyone's build, regardless of the make and model, as long as the owner has pride in it, loves it, and has at least turned a wrench on it. I am part of a car club here near Pittsburgh and we have Hondas, Minis, Volkswagens, Subarus, a couple of Mazdas, and even a couple of BMWs, we love all makes and models and we don't discriminate against any of them. Your philosophy fits right in with our beliefs and that's what attracted me to your channel so much. I also love a good build and your videos are entertaining. There's only one problem, I wish that I would've found y'all sooner! Good luck guys, and God bless.

[@toddxhiggins]

Odyssey pc680 lightweight battery with the pwjdm battery case. Don't bother relocating. The weight saved with a small battery will be offset by all the wiring

[@toddxhiggins]

Also black for the valve cover and get the newer AP2 gold coil cover to go with it! Solid choice

[@speedacademy]

+Todd Higgins Yeah, we won't be relocating the battery. Like you said it makes no sense. Just a small lightweight one will do.

[@Gasinduced]

+Todd Higgins I run a PC680 in my road car and it's fine after 3 years but lithium ion units are getting pretty cheap -SSB LFP30Q-BS UltraLite Lithium is 2 kg's and $100 more than I paid for my Odyssey battery.

[@yungloyal6520]

how many miles does the the car have.. nice looking forward for next video..

[@eseries6555]

get a odyssey battery from passwordjdm and match it with the color with the valce cover & tuck all the wires make it look all clean for them itb!cant wait for next vid ha👍

[@SiGNALz]

At last! Ken's fd looking badass with the fat ZEs too

[@CodySnell_87]

when is the itb test track video going to be? cant wait to hear her screaming 9k

[@ss327chevy]

Any details on that miata in the back at 1:47?

[@JtaagHD]

Just binge watched all your videos and subscribed! Two questions though if you dont mind answering. First, who owns Speed Academy, both the channel and if that is the name of the shop? And second, who owns the Frs and S2000? Cheers

[@ElementalMapping]

My stickers just came in, thank you so much!

[@JCE10NYC]

Finally the ITB's are installed

[@gedasalekveravicius5466]

I know a lot about engines, but crankcase, pcv's, vacuum lines and catch cans is a bit of mistery for me. So why if there is pcv, there also is vacuum hose from intake to head?

[@cefb8923]

What kind of power increases do you hope on making? Also, are you concerned about debris entering the engine since filters can not be used?

[@DigitalArkServices]

I really like the blue roll around table the itb's were sitting on. Can you please let me know the manufacturer of the table and model. im current in the market for one.

[@andersduck3200]

That laugh at 6:28 sounds like a V12 start-up :D

[@schrummy14]

for the battery, have you looked into a capacitor bank?

[@diaz.rodolfo]

the motor's been out before, would removing the motor from engine bay allow more space to work?

[@Danielism]

Stripping Technology, Ontario plate?? how have I noticed this.. shout out from Hamilton!!

[@speedacademy]

+Daniel Gardner (Danielism) Hell yeah! We're just up the hill in Ancaster, well Dave is and I'm in Toronto.

[@knammer1]

Do a dry cell battery, and gloss black or red valve cover

[@rat123mumu]

Do you guys ship those snap backs to Australia? Keep up the good work!

[@lukekindred1999]

I spy Ken's awesome FD with those sexy ZE40's on it. This S2K is seriously coming along good work

[@justintime6160]

Dammit guys its 2:20am.. I was about to sleep! hahaha

[@NicJohnson]

Awesome video. I've been seriously considering Jenvey ITB's for my Miata. lots of head work needs to be done to the B6 engine to make any serious gains. Do you guys plan in doing anything to the head to help is flow better or maybe some aggressive cams? Or are the gains from the ITB's alone substantial enough on the f22?

[@chrisovgy1989]

hole in bonnet fresh air to itb. mad paint job on cam cover add extra 10hp

[@adam03957]

I've heard of dirt bike/bicycle shops having crimp/screw on fittings which might solve your throttle cable dilemma

[@mrolskul]

Wow! How old is the car for the OEM valve cover coating to be peeling off? Is this common these engines? Appears to be an extreme heating situation going on under the hood. The valve cover paint on my 31-year old '85 Corolla GT-S still looks new after 284+K miles.

[@speedacademy]

+Mr Ol Skül It's a motor that came from the junkyard so that and the heat from the engine are definitely reasons why it's peeling so badly.

[@yeaiAm97]

did you guys fixed the exhaust system and put some headers

[@imissmynut]

Get a S2000 battery and fuse box cover kit!

[@blos90]

How about relocating the battery in the back? Just a pain in the ass to relocate, or worth it?

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

XS Power should have a great replacement battery with better CCA

[@Mike_Pedals]

Either lightweight battery, or move the battery to the rear
