Different for the sake of being different. I mean, if you're gonna go through all that trouble, why not swap in a V6/V8/I6 turbo instead of swapping in a less supported I4 that's .2L bigger. I mean I'm a huge believe in the K series, but swapping it into the s2000 is just a waste of time, imho of course. I mean you throw enough money and skill at anything and you can prove any point.

its better to leave the F2xc in the S2k and spend your money on a good quality turbo or S/C kit

honda maxed out f20's potential when built and not so with the k's. turbo/sc more stress on your engine. more components lead to more options for failure.

It would be nice to have a k swapped hatch and the s2k. forget the miata the civic with a k20 is plenty fun and you already have an s2k. Idk about you but k20 swapped civic go for about 9 grand, you might make a lot of your money back. fyi

by the time you buy the K24 and swap it in to the s2000, i would say your down atleast 7-8g easily.
with that same money, you could build the F2XC to handle boost and get a turbo kit done!

K series is great, but as far as I know only one has been swapped into an S2k so you're forging new paths if you go that route. That means extra cost and frustration.

How about a K-series in a Lotus or a MR2?
