S2000 powered kit cars
Hey guys and girls
Who's running a s2k powered kit car?
What have you got?
How does it drive & how fast is it?
Im in discussion with a kit car company about building one and they have mentioned you need to run a MBE fuel management system to get around the stock ecu seeing a few sensors and items not needed like central locking and ABS, if im just using the engine loom with the ECU then i didnt think i would need this. just fit a alarm for the immobiliser
We will be using stock engine, inlet manifold and sensors, engine mounts, gearbox, gearbox mount, prop (cut down if needed), diff, modified half shafts to meet rear hubs and all the ancillaries
Thanks Rob

What sort of costs are involved?
Assuming we have the car and an ECU capable of running the engine, how much are we looking at for engine, gearbox and the work necessary to convert (specifically a Zetec to F20C) and does anyone know how tall the installation ends up being?
I suspect we'll only be running the Zetec in the Ginetta for a season before we feel the need for more POWAH! The F20C was one option.

Try MK up near Rotherham.
One of their cars is Honda S2000 Turbo powered (used to be supercharged).
My brother went out for a test drive with one of the guys and it scared him to death !
So much so he bought a kit !

It is possible but requires lots of work.
