Default New to the s2000 world.


Hey guys I just got a 2001 S2000 a week ago and I have to say I love it. I wanna give ya a little background on me and my previous project. My last vehicle was a Isuzu Impulse rs factory its turboed awd with lotus suspension. Neat little car. Anyways I did a forged bottom end raised compression to 9.35 ported polished head mild cams 780 cc injectors haltech standalone computer custom equal length manifold that i welded up 60 trim t3t4 fmic blitz electronic boost controller and the list goes on and on. Long story short i blew the motor up quite a few times. Everytime it was a little problem that turned big. Anyway it was time for me to ditch the problem and this time I just wanted a cruiser so thats where the S2000 comes in.

yes sadly i have built motors before haha. built the impulse to go 11's and lets just say it didnt happen so now i have a s2000. I saw a block and crank on ebay for the s2000 and i was considering buying that and slowly building up a turbo motor but if i tirbo the s2000 it wont be until its paid off. I am not quite sure how to post pictures yet but heres some links to my motor. by the way the s2000 is all stock and the gray color.

I just bought a used motor for ~ $2200 which is about the going rate. If you plan on a turbo then you can figure that into your calculations.

thanks for the info. I do not planning on buying a complete running motor. I just will need the crank block and head. But all this is after its paid off
