hi i am just curious if anyone on this forum has ran this motor in there car or if anyone on this board has made more hp NA then the 320hp that they claim,and if u do have a high Hp N/a build and have happened to Drag race it what kind of times has it ran . thanx

 

I don't think that engine let alone the whole car is designed for drag racing.

 

An engine that makes power like the F20/22 is great for drag racing. The only that isn't is the suspension setup, but all new cars have IRS, and aren't great for drag racing, including vettes, cobras, etc.

So what honda engine/car was "designed for drag racing" haha. What was a Civic "designed" for? Economy, that's it.

 

exactly what i was thinking i cant think of a single Honda/acura designed for drag racing but yet they got econo-box civic's knocking on 8's back door . i really am just curious if anyone on here has done a high horsepower N/a build with there S2k and what numbers did it put down ? or if anyone has any personal experience with this J's motor

This thread may help. Has some N/A tune talk and dyno numbers that different people got.

 

i dont think anyone on here has this motor if i had it the last thing i would do is drag it its cheaper to boost ur stock motor

 

thanx man

 

lol i was basically looking for personal experience with this motor , and or other N/a S2k's with comparable HP figures, and if by chance someone had a N/a s2k with comparable hp numbers that had drag raced what were there times

 

yeah NA would be a big waste of money.

 

hey its you again, the guy who is just as sarcastic as me ! hows it been man lol ok well let me switch the thread to a new topic who here has the highest N/a whp ?

 

as far as I know inline pro has the most WHP for an NA S2000 at 301whp on a dynojet. that's with a fully built 2.5 or 2.7L setup. honestly I would never spend a lot on NA stuff since just about any FI setup will have more than 301whp and cost a lot less.

 

Yea but it seems like most of the S2000 owners who want to go fast are going boost . And i haven't really seen many fast N/a setups so i was just trying to see something different and see the potential of them N/a thats all . But they are nowhere near as old as the B series so I'm sure years from now the power numbers people will be making will be alot different then now .Thanks for your reply though man, I didn't realize inline built a N/a S2000's i hear nothing except stuff about there turbo setup's.

 

ive seen people in the 250-260 range with N/A setups... swap in 4.77's and that would be a really fun car...

 

Good luck getting an answer to that question here.

You may have better luck on s2ki.

Not a lot of high hp NA s2000's in the states. People don't understand.

Plus high hp NA s2000 is going to be a lot harder to road race than a high hp FI s2000 on the road course.

 

how so ? u would think with a road coarse car you would want a more broad powerband and not have to deal with lag , all spoon's and J's car's are N/a so what maskes u say a FI setup on a S2k is better for road racing then a N/a setup on a S2k ?

 

I didn't say BETTER. I said harder.

You are correct, NA offers a much wider/broader powerband, so when you hit the pedal, you go.

This makes it a much more "touchy" car and you have to be a skilled driver to be quick with it, and put the power to the ground in the correct spots.

Turbo lag and spool can hide poor driving.


I am an NA fan boy.

 

A turbo such as a 16g or 18G is the closest thing to lag free. You should have full boost around 3K. The most power ANY one has ever made N/A with a stock bottom end is 302RWHP or some thing along those lines but it also cost 8K. When I hit the pedal on my S I go...

 

Still isn't the same as NA. Hence why dyno graphs differ.

Thats also saying 8k was the MOST.

What did the MOST power made on a stock bottom end turbo setup cost?

What was it the 701whp car? I am sure there was 8k in that.

 

yeah if not a little more, thats a 1,500 dollar turbo. I would rather spend 10K and make 700 horse VS spending 8k and getting 300. I think it was a thread on this forum. The guy was going for the record for highest power out of a NA S2000 and I know it didnt make more then 320 and spent over 24 hours of tuning.

 

Yes a 300whp s2000 turbo car vs 300whp NA would be night and day. The NA would rape the turbo car.

 

Exactly. No one understands that though.


I am not bashing turbo's in any way. When done correctly they are amazing. When NA is done correctly it is amazing.

Just because our cars CAME NA doesn't mean you can say thats an "NA setup"

Putting intake/header/exhaust is not an "NA setup" either

Bolting on a greddy turbo kit is not a "Turbo setup" in my mind either.

 

if you want to go fast on n/a, you gotta go light - real light. Otherwise boost.

 

You should really check out the threads below....assuming you arent talking about an engine to buy and put in your car. Pretty sure those times are a little quicker then a normal s2k can pull as well....NA anyways.

It has nothing to do with which is "better." They're simply two different philosophies of tuning.

Those cars are naturally aspirated because the rule sets of the series they race with dictates that they must be. Very few production car road racing series allow forced induction because it's very difficult to police cheating and "creative innovation."

 

Interesting, a lot of open minded people coming out of the woodwork.. lol
