Just got the May 07 Import Tuner Mag & in the Power Pages they mod an S2000

Mods

1st - base line with a full tune up done 186.9HP/117.8TQ
2nd - Skunk2 Mega Power Exhaust 198.6HP/125.3TQ
3rd - 5Zigen 4-2-1 Stainless Exhaust Manifold 201.8HP/129.2TQ
4th - AEM (EMS) Engine Management System 207.9HP/129.4TQ

not bad a total of +25HP & +21TQ for some simple mods

The car was also tuned on a Dyno & they did a tune up on the car prior.

The car was a 2003 with 33,000 miles on it.

total cost of mods was MSRP $4180.36

I'm sure you could find it cheaper out there but a good review of how the products work together.

if you have any other reviews like this from mag can you post.

Thanks

 

for 4K i would rather get a tune, 60mm catback, testpipe, and a night at the strip club

 

SC FTW

 

Almost 12hp from an exhaust? I'm pressed

 

Ditto!

 

$4100 I would have gone with a used SC and added ...80-100 whp?
and would have been smog legal

EMS not smogable
exhaust would be over the California 95db or less
Header... prob not smogable

 

the stock whp sucks, that over 20% driveline losses


edit: ^ nice FSR, still riding my trusty '99

 

we already covered this. the pulls were done on a dyno dynamics, which read LOWER than mustangs. dude got all those parts comp't, +20whp for free, i'll take it.

side rant:

why dont some guys understand the not all of us want turbo's or VTSC's?

 

that makes for a 270 S2000 @ the flywheel. Not bad not bad at all for an NA 2.0

 

$4100 for 25 WHP? No thanks. I'll spend $1000 more and get 100 WHP.
