I posted about this a couple pages back, but no one seemed to pay any attention... Since then I've found some more links.

It's probably one of the most expensive options. But I think it'd be the best choice for power and weight considerations, all the while maintaining the S2000's agility (which is one of the major attractions of the car for me):

Wouldnt the K get less HPs on an S2k because even though it may dyno at 200, the RSX is FWD?

I dont know man, this looks like " Hey Mate, lets blow $29,000 us dollars on two busa motors bolted together, and at least $5000 in labor to install into s2000!" I think id rather put the 2JZ in there for 12k installed, and blow by anything! You can do headwork on a 2JZ and rev to 8k easy. But that was very intresting to see, just too damn expensive. Those guys have way too much money!!

I agree, while very cool, not worth it for the track imo
