if ur gonna swap anything might as well make it CRAZY

k series... eh been there done that, from hatch backs to mo peds. its the Bseries

SR20 again old news. anyone can swap that in.

a wankle engine... yeah its cool. but most S owners dont know how to properly maintaine one. all the seals and everything

now what i'm saying is, anyone can take a motor and plant it in a car. but if u got the money to spend and obviously u do.

might as well go with an old Ferrari or porshe engine. be really cool to see a flat 6 in there. hell to get in, but think about the paplisicity and what not. or matting an old ferrari V8.

no one does those things.

i just think the S2000 isn't a car u throw K series motors in. its a gem, an enthusiasts car. it should be treated like such with a quality, rare, never before seen engine swap.

2 cents.
Sorry i didnt do a rare enough, or quality swap for ya! Oh yeah, if just anyone can do this, how come in 7 years knowone has??? My 2 Cents.

Because you only want the "look what I can do" factor and not the "isn't this cool, logical, and practical?" factor. Your 2jz swap showed everyone that there's a new direction you can go if you want huge reliable horsepower, and this K20 swap will show everyone a great way to waste a lot of time and money. I still don't see a benefit for swapping in a K other than growing the already large egos of the RSX/Civic crowd.

Give the man a break he is the only one doing engine swaps to the S2000 right now. He put a turbocharged inline 6 into an S2000. No Ferrari Motor will out preform that motor. I respect your opinion but do not hate one him he is doing things no one else has done in 7 years. Plus he is very knowledgable and brings lot to this community

Your opinion is pretty crappy, why put an old Ferrari engine into an S? Ferrari is very unreliable, and the 2jz would destroy it in performance. Id say an ls1 or possibly ls2 before some old maintenance wh0re Ferrari engine.

sr20 has alot of potential i have had alot of sr20 motors mostly DE's in FWD Classic se-r's i mean keeping the import theme is the way i would go but an LS1 would work nice. I personally love 03-04 cobras that motor stock would be alot of fun. Idk i think someone should work on the f20-22 motors more an see the full potential i dont ever see or hear too much about what they can really do. The 2Jz was simple an smart an really cant be beat.
