ok i have a 2000 honda prelude type SH im gettin rid of it for a s2k and im being told that the s2k engine it pretty much already maxed out and upgrades for it are pretty much useless the only thing you could really do for it is forced induction to really see a big HP increase also i heard the block is floating sleeves which i dunno if this is true so if you guys could provide a new commer some info this would help. the car is a 2001 s2k

boost it

silentvoice19

ive looked around boosting a s2k looks outreagously expensive like 4 or 5 k

it all depends on what you do to the car..... you can't be a ricer and throw on random parts cause it's not gonna work... you gotta know what you're doing and pick the proper parts and combinations to make it work.... also tuning is very key to everything done to our cars...

and boosting the car for 4 or 5g's is not much.. thats actually quite cheap....the superchargers are around 5g's+ because it comes with an aftercooler, and with the turbos they are all around 5g's+ also... but keep in mind... if you do go FI you're going to want to get the aem ems which is going to cost you around $1800 caue you're gonna want to get the wide band uego with it...

the s2000 is a big boys car (lots of money involved to moddify it) while the civic, integra, and prelude is a kids car (relatively cheap to modify)

hmm maby ill get a wrx becuase your right ive been looking around and parts for these cars are just omg. Yea those cars are cheap to modify but hp doesnt come as quick as other cars see now im lookin into a 95 supra tt also there are just so many car options its hard id like to go boosted but i love hondas. The s2k is a nice car extremely light and damn does it move but it seems like its way to much to get it to move faster. I have a good jod almost 500 a week i bring home but im not gonna dump it all into a s2k. I dunno ill have to think about it i hear those WRXs are pretty damn fast and hook up like a willdabeast.

acceleration is based on alot of things like HP, gearing, tuning, etc... I have seen equally powered whp cars, one fi and one na...no the NA does not always win

Almost 500 a week isn't going to cut it if you have to make a car payment, insurance payment, house payment and food.

The best way to enjoy an S is to out grow the modding bug and to begin learning how to drive. The S is a drivers car plain and simple. If you're looking to rip down a street from a stop light to prove you're a man, then this isn't the car for you.

I don't understand it when people complain about how the S is almost maxxed out from the factory. I thought that's what you were paying for? Remember it's the highest output per liter production engine? Would you rather buy a civic and raise the HP up to almost s2k levels with parts that have inferior qualtiy to what Honda has designed?

.... Maybe I'm getting old.

profpin

anything that runs 120hp per liter is pretty much maxed out for a pump gas emission legal engine... now, with that being said, you can always up the hp, but you will lose either the above category or maybe both... i hope you find the right car of your choice.. the s2000 is not for everyone..

silentvoice19

i live at home sucka hahaha. and my insurance is about 1900 every 6

silentvoice19
