I'd be careful with possible warranty infringement, depending on the age of your car.

Personally, I think the S2000 is so precisely engineered and the tolerances so slight that most of the "quick-win" mods could cause problems.

As far as I'm aware all these are in the S2000 are fuel/air ratio chips, (mods the air intake sensor). These add more fuel and advance? the timing to give more power. As W6DAN said though I wouldn't be too keen on doing this, Honda seem to have got this engine running spot on with a hell of alot of power for a 2 litre n/a engine. If I were you I'd start with intake mods, then exhaust and downpipes to let that little beauty of an engine breathe better (and louder )

The best way to go for cost/BHP according to the US posters is a " Apexi VAFC" unit. It's a piggy back ECU that alters air and fuel mixtures,ment to be good for low end torque (10 bhp+) do a search

It's on my list along with an X-brace
