S2000-Q8i

Hi members

I am thinking to improve my s2000 performance by this:
1-throttle body - the old one is damage
2-intake manifold
3-exhaust header

i found this on the ebay, if any one try this before tell me the results please, if any one know better items and better price , please tell me

If you are going to modify your s2000 I personally would stay away from ebay parts!

all the links you just posted are crap. the intake mani and throttle body are shitty just like all the work dave hickman does. so stay away from those parts. and that ebay header is **** too. hope that helps

Don't go to ebay to buy performance parts ur just gona waste ur money on something that won't improve ur car. And y do u want to get a intake maniflis the stock is good enough for the mods that ur going to make. Get a nice intake like j's or passwordjdm j's header and a single exit exhaust and u should be good.

You can pick up some good parts on Ebay. Its just a matter of what you are looking at. Ive gotten an exhaust for two civics and S2000 off Ebay, you just have to make sure its the real deal as in HKS, apexi, borla, jic or any other trusted company. Those parts are all asking for fail.

I would not recommend any of those parts for you right now. Fist off, what year is your S2000?

Black S2K

Ebay is ok if he knew what he was looking for. did you click on any of his links?? Plus there is allways the risk of getting scammed

If you are looking to gain some power by staying NA (naturally aspirated) I would recommended these parts.
-exhaust
-header
-test pipe / cat delete pipe
-free flowing air intake (A good factory replacement filter, airbox mod and snorkel works wonders)
-TUNED AEM EMS OR HONDATA (If you want to make any real power over stock this is a must)

greddy/trust is bankrupt because of ebay products

Black S2K

go to evasivemotorsports.com they have alot of stuff for our car. For exhaust I would recomend the greddy 70mm tic its not super sxpensive and youll get the best bang for the buck. It is kinda loud.

all ebay parts are not bad but be careful with the throttle body's from ebay. i have had a few gyus come dyno and have problems with the throttle body sticking.

Throttle body and intake manifolds are useless, unless you already have something like AEM / Hondata. Most aftermarket throttle bodies either require the mounting flange to be modified, or they have issues reading WOT with the TPS. I think the Spoon one is really the only trustworthy one (and I think its just a bored out OEM one)... BDL makes a good one, but it has issues with WOT recognition.

Exhaust header would help out if you had some way to tune to it. Also, a test pipe would be needed to see any noticeable gains (while N/A), as well as a free-flowing exhaust.

Its expensive to get power out of this car. VAFCII + tune was the best thing I did while NA.. ($300 all told, with PNP harness + tune). Picked up +10-15rwhp throughout the midrange (20 at redline, but MY00-01 richen out up there, so there was power to be had), and +20tq through the midrange.

Science of speed for your throttle body

Black S2K

4get about the intake manifold its a waste of money as I stated b4 get a j's header 70mm tp from invidia and greddy 70mm tic. For the intake I would suggest to do what I did. Spoon replica snorkle gutted box and k&n drop in filter. Me personaly I went with a Buddy club spec 3 exhaust berk tp and buddy club header I am very happ with my set up only thing left is a tune.

Do you have a shop who can dyno tune your car? What's your budget?

Black S2K

me?

well.....after all is said and done, your car will go faster because your wallet will be lighter.

I don't think any of those parts will bolt on and make decent power. Maybe you'll make around 2-5whp total.

Maybe you can increase that number with some tuning.

I don't know if it's all B.S., but there are dyno charts on evasive motorsports' website showing 14whp from bolting on a T1R sparrow EM exhaust to an otherwise stock S2000. That may be a good buy. I'm picking one up in a couple of months.

AEM used to claim around 9whp out of their V2 CAI. Mine seems to have added a bit of top end.

Don't expect night and day miracles from bolt on parts on the S2000.

You'll need to spend money on the car for good parts, however.

SERIOUSLY! Especially parts that involve welds, that crack from heat!
