Default Interested in Building N/A & looking for advice?

Hey guys! I'm new here to S2kI!

I've been saving a while for an Ap2 S2k and am finally getting one!

Looking for advice on the best way, to do an all motor build! My goal is around 325 to the wheels? Any advice and all advice welcome!

Thanks!

The wisest and most valuable advice that I can give you, that was passed down from my father and his father is when looking for N/A build advice... use the search bar.

Hahaha.

I'm still figuring out how to use s2ki.
But I understand how, I was wondering the best way. I understand I would need high compression pistons and I would to port and polish and what not. But just curious to if anyone knows a cheaper way as in parts wise? Best combo?

N/A 325whp is gonna be $$$$$$$$$$$$$

With that said, go check out the Naturally Aspirated section, located here

You will need to go with a 2.7 stroker kit, will probably need to go with higher compression pistons, all sorts of head work, ITBs, etc. In the end it will probably cost more than what you paid for the car.

Or you could just slap a centrifugal supercharger on it, EASILY break your 325whp goals with plenty of room to grow, not have to change a thing inside the motor, still be reliable as stock and pay about 1/4 of what you would pay N/A... Just sayin.

Take a look at this thread, https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/103...e-can-be-done/
Notice everything that has been done, and they are at about 300 CRANK. You really want to make sure this is the road you want to go down before you start buying parts.

Or another easier option is to just swap an LS engine into it

How do I tag people? And we'll said! I've been wanting to do an ek k20/k24 build for a while. But decided to just get an s2k. With the EK it's pure weight / power ratio.

S2k is a bit different. I'm exploring my options. To be honest I'm probably just gonna end up going turbo.

boostdem1 is selling his used setup.

But I'm not smart with turbos. Any advice?

Forget about NA, and just install a supercharger. I would recommend learning to drive the vehicle though, before you super power your car.

If you want +300hp NA, perhaps you should purchase a different car with the power you want in stock form.

The S2000 in stock form is an engaging car to drive. Have you ever driven one in anger?
