Default C32B in an s2000?

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of an s2000 with a c32b swap? I was recently reading up on Honda engines, and I just love the concept of the c32b, so I wanted to know how feasible that kind of swap would be for an s2k. Thanks in advance!

I know nothing about the C32B, but have you considered a K20/K24 swap? I think the K series motors are capable of making some decent power, but I am pretty sure you can modify the stock engine to handle quite a bit as well (when turbocharged). Definitely check out the forced induction section, there should be a lot of useful information on this! $13,000 could perhaps be the price of an entire build done right with some pretty respectable numbers I would think.

Topic is C32b, there's one that I know of thats been done and running, 13k is for a built motor than no stock k series will come close to na or boosted made by one of the top nsx motor builders in the country, and understand stock c32b's aren't that price at all....c32b build would be beast and stomp on the k-series

K-Series are nice and all, but there is no replacement for displacement. Plus V6's sound pretty damn cool.

By that logic the v8 swap is more feasible. If you are asking what is involved with this you likely don't have the means to do it. You are talking about a good deal of modification to get it to fit into the car. Custom trans or some kind of adapter plate. Custom wiring harness and that's just the easily seen stuff. Unless you are a master fabricator or extremely wealthy this is not doable. But if you are one of those things I look forward to the build thread.

When I opened the article posted above, 13k was for an unfinished engine, so I don't think 13k is going to be any where near covering this whole build. An LS swap would make much more sense to me than a c32b swap, or even a 2JZ Turbocharged engine which is capable of a lot of power. Than again, I came across a 2.4 liter stroker build in the forced induction section making 900 hp on ethanol.

pay attention, never did i say 13k was for the whole build. All I did was offer a completed built c32b to purchase. Have you ever attempted to search for an nsx motor? It isn't easy to find one let alone a fully built one. People can suggest whatever they want, but if the OP didn't ask for it, it's pointless to give an opinion...The huge difference in any of the motors you listed(LS,2Jz,even the F24c) isn't horsepower related at all, more so torque related. How soon/late would you like our torque? Even then, the thread moves off the original topic. If the OP wants to build a c32b/s2000, I can't wait to see the thread.

^ Op asked how feasible the c32b swap would be in the S2000, so I offered an opinion of something I thought to be more feasible since this build isn't likely to happen. I agree, this would be one awesome build thread, but he was simply asking how feasible it is, and I don't think it is very feasible/practical/cost effective in an S2000 when there are more cost effective alternatives, such as building and boosting the stock engine. Didn't mean to be rude, sorry for that.
