PM'd about the swap.

 

I saw this beast in person on Sunday at import face off in Montgomery.

The install is very very clean and looks as though the 2Jz should be under the hood.

\The guy that was there with the car did not know much about the install.

All though he did say that the only thing they had to modify in the engine bay was the I beam cross brace. They did replace that beam with another brace (looks like a very stout strut tower bar that is now bolted accost the car just in front of the new engine.

He even said that the OEM Honda motor mounts did not need to be modified that the 2Jz attachment point lined up perfectly with the original areas.

You could tell this car was trailered to the event the rear tires were 285/35 on a 18

 

How come it smokes badly? I saw him leaving Saturday. Looks like it may need a ring job.

 

replace a couple of rear fenders???
as I;ve tore apart a few s2ks for installs of sorts, the rear quarter panels are welded on....I"m not sure what he means by that...


Also all this talk about 950+HP.
The freaking thread title says "I rode in a 950+hp S2K tonight" but is it not 950 now or 400 or 600? did you ride in it when they had the 30 somthin psi? I'm still confused as whether or not you rode in the s2k when it has supposed 950+ hp. cuz everytime this comes up you say well duh we dont have the rear end for it.


Bryan do you know what comes with the kit cuz the guy on the video was like instal motor and trans. he didnt say rear end and all the other stuff you mentioned beforeit was erased...

 

at the show the guy said 25K for every thing out the door related to engine,tranny, drive shaft, diff, and new axels

 

I thought it was supposed to be $16k?

 

Hmmm. 35k on the car, 25k on the upgrade. 70k. C6 z06?

 

Just out of curiosity, how would 950 hp for 3000rpm or so compare to 450-500 hp for 5500 rpm? I feel like while the Supra will be shifting a true S2k will still be revving. I have no idea, is this valid?

 

Any one realize that it's more than the motor that makes the car a Honda, body chassis and ever other part of the car is still a Honda, so at the end of the day it's still a s2000. It's has lost the soul of a peppy sports car and pick up the soul of a fire breathing beast. I think it's a fair trade. I would rather race vipers and vets than rx8s and 350z. Nice work.

 

I think this whole setup sounds fishy and is a comeplte hackjob. The guy has made different statements about the cost and actual power the cars makes at different times contradicting himself. I personally would not trust some guy who works out of his garage.

BTW, good luck to anyone who wastes his money on this and the awesome warranty it comes with.
