The first S2000 with an Automatic Transmission has been built and is on the road. We built the 2003 Yellow S2000 with a 2JZ swap, T-88 Turbo and were going with the 6 speed Getrag but decided to go with a built Automatic, because it will stay in boost longer. The car runs and shift so smooth. Along with the 2JZ, Big turbo, and automatic tranny, we also put in a Nissan 300zx rearend and 1,000 hp axles. We are still in the process of tuning this monster but we will keep everyone informed. Will have pics and vids up in the next day or so.

hell yeah. congrats. got any pics of everything ?

 

you can shift just as smooth with a manual...

 

Is this going to be the third 2JZ that has a lot of hype going for it, and then 2 months later we don't hear anything about, no dynos, no timeslips, nothing. It is almost as if they fall off the face of the earth.

 

Except (unless I'm mistaken) the 2JZ matched to an auto is faster than the manual.

 

No this is not going to be the 3rd 2JZ to just fall of the face of the earth. The car will be tuned and dyno'd sometime this week. Then I will post the numbers.

 

Then NEXT week the owner will realize that the car was just crazyglued together and is falling apart at the seams.

Soul Coughing, wanna chime in here?

What's next, do you want to put in an extra set of doors and seating for four? Maybe a few more cupholders....

Geez, man. It's not even an S2000 anymore.

Hey, I have the first V8 AWD S2000!!!!

 

lol sorry but

 

so what ckit its bad to be creative and original !?! sorry not everones so close minded

 

It is VERY Possible to make a fully functioning, reliable, well built hybrid - that isn't "falling apart at the seams." While I usually agree with your posts, this one just throws me off. The guys that take the time to design and build these cars make this hobby all the more fun.

Of course its not going to be something that would be produced from any factory with a full warranty, and Im sure, like any project, it will have its issues. So what? Its not your headache, and regardless of your viewpoint, from a peformance aspect its going to be something to be reckoned with.

I was a member of Hybridz.org, where they specialize in RB, SR, 2JZ, SBC, SBF, L, VQ, VG, etc swaps into the Datsun/Nissan Z car. Of course we'd get some tools over at zcar.com that would say its blasphemy, the car was fine as is, blah blah. But as the owner of an L28ET powered 240Z, and after driving/seeing some fantastic and clean swaps of all kinds (RB Z32, SR S30s, etc) I can tell you, its a lot cooler and deserves far more props than buying bolt ons from a company and slapping them on.

Regardless, kudos on the 2JZ-GTE swap and I can't wait to see pics/videos/numbers.

+1 and subscribed.
