Ive been thinkin about it, seems like more and more s2k owners are wanting to see that swap than any other. Im just a big fan of Japanese engines!! And big turbo's!! I have the Greddy external wastegate on my s2 , and ive gotten so addicted to that sound man, i get a woody everytime!! I like to scare the crap out of people driving down the road that arent paying attention to what they're doing, its loud as hell, and seems to work better than the traditional horn!!

 

Well, i sent you a pm about a Jap. swap!!!

 

the k20a Kills the f20 in all motor performance when both kept at the same displacement, its all in the cylinder head, I guess you have never heard of a thing called iV-tec??

the reason why he swapped a 2jz in the s2000 is simple, while the f20c can get to the same power levels no doubt, the 2jz will do the same power level much easier and more reliably. simple.

 

I agree with you on that one, brushed aluminum would look great!!! or a billet piece

 

Look man, the 2JZ needs no intro, this is probably the fastest S2000 in the world. You say im doing the "look what i can do"? Well, whats another guy that builds his F20C to 852 HP saying, or the guy who does a Copmtech, or the guy that does the Stroker with I.T.B.s, what are these guys saying??? "Look what i can do"??? Hell if thats the way you see it, thats cool. I guess your doing the"Look what i can prove about some guy i no nothing about" Anyway, i do respect your opinion about the K20 swap, but why does everything have to have a "point", this is all for fun bro. And i didnt just humer myself, i humered about a half a million people, thanks!

 

I know guys, its a little getto, hell i biult it in about 45 minutes, its just a temporary, i have a real clean one being professionaly done up as we speak, its gonna be sweet! I post pics of it when it comes in, hopefully this week. That one is just aluminum sheetmetal, covered with pleather! He-He

 

i like it lol. in all its crudeness its quite impressive.

 

I guess I'll put my 2 cents into this thread. 50/50 racing asked for input and opinions on what motors to go with, instead he gets sarcasm and hostility. I think we all understand that opinions will differ, but some of you guys want to bash the guy for bringing innovative ideas to our forum.

I believe we have a great motor, but some people are so stuck on it being the one and only motor for our car. We already know the 2JZ can do the job, the K20 could be an option as well as some of the Nissan motors.

To: 50/50 racing thanks for bringing us the 2JZGTE powered S2000 and your willingness to take chances and be creative.

 

yea, let's nitpick about a temporary panel lol.

we all do things to show what we can do.

you keep doing whatever you want, that's what this country is founded on, guys tinkering in their garage.

although not a swap I would so i can appreciate the craftsmanship it took to get it done, and I'm sure it was very difficult and took a lot of R&D

 

are you serious? the k series has some development behind it in the aftermarket and racing community that is an advantage but the marginal, marginal, ****ing marginal difference does not add up when compared to the potential of the already installed f20 vs doing a custom swap to get marginal performance gains, and in my opinion the only gains or advantage would be due solely to the fact that the k series has a bunch of support and r&d not yet realized by the f20c.

you make it sound as if the k series and the presence of ivtec is gods very own gift to the racing world. they are bad ass engines but dont think for a second that the f20c does not have the same flow potential. period.

there are built f series NA engines (very few) that make as much power as any k series i've ever seen. they are both very similar in strength, they both flow extremeley well, they both rev, etc. like i said they are too similar to justify the trouble of a swap.


additionally we are talking about a car (im going to throw out some drag racing times just for an anchor to add some numbers here) that most have trouble getting into the 13's with any great consistancy, while a select few (myself excluded) have the ability to consistantly hit 13's in the same trim as those that run consistant mid 14's. this would incline me to beleive, as many others allready do, that the s2000 is a car that needs capable hands, perhaps more so than cars that have less peaky engines.

with such a large variance in performance due solely to driver ability why would such an incremental change in power or potential power be ''worth it".

i think most drivers could never justify (other than preference or personal satisfaction) swapping in an engine that will grant minimal gains when there are large gains to be realized simnply through improved ability to extract such gains.

and those that do genuinely need the marginal difference in power output (namely those who race professionally) would probably find a pleasant compromise in working with a great engine that is available and sacrifice the k swap if for no other reason other than predictabliity and reliability.

in short, there isnt that much of a difference between the horsepower potential of the k series and the f20c. so like i said in the beginning, why would you want to do the swap?
