hey guys i was talking to a old friend today , he was a owner of a 05 s2000 . and this guys car was i could "blessed''. it was soo fast for what it was . all he had was buddyclub headers , berk testpipe and k&n intake , and i saw him beat a new M3 in front of my eyes , i couldnt beleive it , he says he runs like 12.7 to about 13.4 in the quarter i see that really quick for the lil mods he had . but this is probaly the fastest s2k ive seen with the lil mods he had . i asked him a few question about the car cause i want the same setup he had and he says to not ever run sythetic oil . hes ran non synthetic the whole life of the car and that is y it runs so strong . he was explaining to me how vtec works best with non synthetic oils . what you guys think ? is this true ? also my s2k is currently running synthetic , can i go back to non synthetic with no issues ? my s2k is also a 2005 with 55k miles .

 

I don't think that alone is the reason. as is said, S2000s engines do have a flux in horsepower, some come out of the factory floor lacking a few ponies while i have heard of a few beasts coming out of the factory. also... wasn't vtec developed on synthetic?

 

There are not 'beasts' these motors are built by computers, no 260-270hp motors were made. It's not physically possible. Vtec is not built around any oil either, it's built around oil pressure.

 

Wow the guy driving the m3 must have had a frontal lobotomy

 

Stock S2000 will never beat a new 500hp m3 off the line. This is just stupidity.

You can switch between syn and regular oil, but there is little reason to go back.

No stock S runs 12.7 quarter mile.

 

^He never said it was stock, but even with those few bolt ons he'd be lucky to even come close to a mid 13

 

maybe he shifts like a automatic HAHAHA
fastest/perfect shifter,

but he knows what hes doing i guess?

 

VTEC does not work better or worse.

Its on or off.

 

Beating a car doesn't really prove much honestly. I am consistently amazed at how bad a lot of drivers are, especially ones with expensive cars. As far as the drag times, I would honestly doubt them unless I saw it myself. Drag strips are like fishing as soon as you leave the fish seem to grow... But no I promise its not the oil.

 

and his wasnt stock . he has k7n fpk intake , buddyclub headers , berk test pipe and a custom exhaust he made on his own . n thats all . he told me vtec dont like synthetic . and that vtec has more kick with non sythetic
