My next engine build
Have a look at this:

I think my next engine build will be based on this. Probably use aftermarket rods and pistons though.

"You know the best thing about this 2.4-liter stroker buildup is we're using all factory Honda parts which anyone can purchase over the counter. All you need is some minor machining at a reputable shop, and assembly skills. This is a stroker setup that won't kill your bank account."
Definately keep us posted.

Nice in principle, but would you really want to sacrifice your 9000rpm redline?
First supercharger, to give you more power up top with a little extra below VTEC, then turbo to give you much more power and torque down low and now stroke it to fatten out and flatten out your torque curve even more.
Perhaps you should buy an HSV if you want all your shove down at 2000rpm
Ps. Only stirring, I know you love the joy of the build.

I've seen pics of a nice LS1 install in an S2000.
But having driven a LS1 powered two seater 1100Kg car (Elfin Streamliner) I think I'll stick with the FI approach.
My thinking is that if I go for aftermarket rods and pistons, sleeving and a block guard I may be able to retain the 9000rpm redline.

Hmm a LS1 in a s2000 would be heaps of fun, I was chasing down one HSV with a LS1 last weekend at Winton, kept pulling on the straights but so bad under brakes and cornering...
That engine build up looks decent! But I don't see any prices or power figures? Am I looking in the wrong places?

Look in honda-tech Tax, you will see a link to the LS1 forum.
I've driven a number of LS1 with twin turbo kit from www.LS1turbo.com, their quality and reliability are getting better straight from the factory.

Online racing built the motor. i spoke to Deni (the owner) few months back and the car was up for sale.
I dont know much about the engine setup. Perhaps you could call them to find out more.
