Have been pondering the Idea of fitting a crate engine LS3 in the S2000.
Not really been enjoying the car since buying it 18months ago. It has a Greddy Turbo kit which I though would be enough, but compared to my old Evo 6 it just doesn't cut it.
Anybody gone this route yet and regretted it?

I'm part way through the swap to charged ls2.
It hasn't been easy, still quite a way to go even though it's in.
Any questions you have feel free to ask.

Still considering wether to use the import muscle kit or try it without relocating the steering rack, once I have sold my engine and turbo kit, I should be close to buying the engine and gearbox and then go from there.

Carl Bourbon

It's ALOT of work to do it without moving the rack.
For ease of install and marrying up the honda dash to the Ls readouts the import kit is probably a good idea.
But I'd wait and save and get all the bits at once if I were you. What's the point in having an install kit with no engine to install?
But it all together as close as you can

Would you be sending it to a shop to do or doing it yourself?

If/when my F20 goes or I come into a bit of money, mine is going to DynoTorque in Birmingham. LS3 please!

Www.v8s2000.com
Thomas creation's build retains stock steering location I think

I've been in touch with Dynotorque and was fobbed off with we're far too busy to do your car, find someone more local to do it for you.
I was ready to throw money at them too.

But they do know their stuff.
Give them a call, see what they say.

The sale of my F20C paid a good chunk of the price of the V8.
You'll get more for a working one than a blown one, obviously.

Will be doing it myself, don't think it's beyond me, but won't find out if I don't have a go.

Carl Bourbon

That was exactly my attitude haha
I'm a little overwhelmed but I should be alright
