2) I wasn't stating personal preference... I was stating currently available options.

 

That makes sense. I don't know the number of s2000s being produced and I sure dont know what percentage of them have been modified and such, but I'm assuming Honda Civic and such parts would be a MUCH bigger market.

ya know....I wrote up this big long thing about some of this and just figured its not worth it sometimes and erased it all.

 

Synopsis: Naveed likes tried-n-true. Mike finds the concept interesting.

I just reread the thread a third time to try to figure out why the heck Naveed is thumping his chest. Still can't figure it out. Chinadian started the thread for the purpose of sharing an idea/information as he found it interesting.

 

All in good fun

I ended up learning something new from this thread but found other things not so clear...

 

I posted a thread about this the minute I saw the article over the summer.

Turns our AMUSE might be using this setup in their GT car.

The article hides alot of info though. They do not say if you can use the OEM oil squiters or if they have to be 100% removed. They make removing 4mm from the rods sound very easy, but it can't be as easy as it sounds.

Also I believe they mentioned you have to mod the k24 crank to accept the rods and bearings. If you mod the crank the wrong way it will become unbalanced, so how do you fix this?

Someone else can try this out, I rather see it proven from the mags or AMUSE than have a fellow s2k guy be a test dummy.

 

Someone told me the cylinder walls are very thin as it is, so theirs really no reason to bore them out. This means most kits would have to increase the stroke and not the bore.

But your 100% right, no ones going to spend 5k for a stroker kit and then pay someone to install and tune it when they can go turbo for the same money and make more power. That seems to be how tuners think these days, they want to turbo everything.

 

Hmmm so its not as simple as just throwing the parts together into the black huh... Guess it can't be done properly in someone's home garage...

 

I completely agree with you that "tuner shops" these days just throw turbo on anything to make power and dont really care for anything else...and i dont like that, but IMO a proper turbo set up is the most efficient way to increase power...especially on small displacement engines...

 

Already did.
