The only problem with that is now you have very small gears are I don't mean the ratio. They are KIA gears and are very thin material and you are adding a lot of HP to them. I can show you the difference between the stock 4.10s and the 4.77s and you will be supprised. 4.57s are probably the best for a FI car. They are beefier and better material.

Ask Todd about this. DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT DROP THE CLUTCH ABOVE 6K. Feather it in slowly and they may last awhile. I'm sure JC didn't get on them much when he had them.

I had 4.57s with my S/C and that is a good combo. 4.77s will mean shifting very fast in the first two gears.

 

Thanks for the advise guys, but damn you for relaying all this positive news! It's sure to set me back a few grand.

 

A few grand? Surely you jest... thats how it starts. First its a few, then its in the 10s of thousands, then your getting a second mortgage, then your homeless. Too bad the S isnt large enough to live in.

Oh and I know better than dropping the clutch in that car, especially now with near 400 hp at the ol crankaroo.

On the hand, i do it at 6k-7k in my wrx for giggles. Its fun to see all 4 tires spin.

Todd did a hell of a job on our car, you should definitely give him a call.

 

If your interested stop by Todd's shop sometime when I am in town and I will show you the gears. It opened my eyes to see how small the pinion gear was on the 4.77s.

 

Scott, do you ever go to any of the meets by cold stone, on wednesdays or saturdays? here in fort myers that is..

 

Hey Bill, Jr. -
On friday we had a 700 hp 2.6L STI in the shop getting tuned, well kinda. He is running 1000cc injectors and could not get it to idle under 1800 rpm's. He is still on the break-in of a fresh motor. We will get you two guys together for a test ride, this car will be an animal at 28 psi.

On your car it is definatly a fun 8 seconds to 100mph, eventhough it goes by so quick. I had a Mustang Cobra matching my speed on Friday night as Brian and I were tuning. Brian said dust this guy 'cause we need to do another data log. As I dropped it from 6th to 3rd at 45 mph, the Cobra did the same and punched it. I let him get in front of me so there will be no question who won, and mid way through 3rd I was 4 cars in front and let off. I did not need to go any further to prove that your 2.0L was a bad dude.

I don't condone street racing, but this Cobra was annoying me. I just gave him a piece of the S2K. Rob, Andy, Rick, Brian and myself at 2NR Werks thank you for choosing us to mod your car.
Enjoy your new found horsepower.

Scott - These guys are 1st class on this forum. They all have great knowledge of the S2000 as well as first had experience with forced induction. Since you daily drive your S2K, you are making a wise choice by going Comptech. It was nice chatting with you today.

WHAT??? Meets?? I didn't know anyone met around here. What time are the meets? I'm definately interested.

 

Now that you are FI everyone will want you to come out so they can drive your car.

Do it!
