My initial reaction was "seriously, why in the world?" After thinking about it for a few minutes, that's still my reaction.

i like it.

F/I cars might want to look into this since the car becomes front-heavy once you throw a f/i kit on it.

Not only do offroad baja trucks and rockcrawling trucks do it, but so do everyday offroaders, it's an easier way to get cooler air to the radiator and to keep it from getting clogged up in mud and stuff. I used to have a Jeep before my S and I had my radiator moved to the back behind my gas tank and had 1 fan running all the time with a temp guage in the dash and a switch to turn on the second fan. it works, Lots of mudding guys rock crawling guys or people with just offroad rigs have the radiators moved to the back, and yes it does decrease inside engine bay temps. because of the radiator not making cooler air hot from it passing through the radiator. for the effort! I like alot!

Wow... This is so cool.... I think this idea is splendid. I have heard of cars with twin turbos. This is the first time i will ever see a twin motor car. Seems like OP is going to throw an additional motor in the trunk. Amazing. A bi-motor S2000. You're going to take S2000's to a very new level. Cant wait to see the dyno results after the build. Good Luck OP you are my hero
