i hate how every thread in the s2k forum on here that mentions NA or NA builds/setups you get a bunch of jackass's compareing them to turbo s2ks or say go turbo, if you wanna compare it to your turbo car or wanna talk about turbos go make your own thread.damn.

 

AMEN !!!! thats what i said back on page 2 , i simply wanted to have discussion on NA S2k's not a boost vs all motor debate. There is enough of them already , its a known fact FI cars can go fast and its a known fact N/a builds can go fast . I don't see the point in arguing, it all comes down to what you like some us us like N/a some of us like Boost . so leave the FI talk in a FI related thread and leave the N/a talk in a N/a related thread . it's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

 

 

haha funny.. how is this even a discussion, the builds not gonna be done. there is no better or best, there are goals and limits. the limiting factor is money IMO. how much are you willing to spend to squeeze out a measly 320whp. **** a greddy kit can get you up there already, so unless if you're a N/A **** purist with deep pockets the only way you're going to step over 300whp is boost.

 

The S2000 needs a turbo if you wanna race it. If I lost to a NA s2000 I would just turn my boost controller half an inch to the right and put down 50 more horse and some more TQ.

 

well i wouldn't say that now kyle. an LS1 s2000 is still N/A

 

I don't know whats worse! LS1 s2000 or 2jZ S2000? They are both a slap in the face.

 

me personaly no where in this thread did i say N/a is better then boost , i OWN a boosted car , i was just simply curious about the N/a S2k setups out there and how these motors are doing with full blown NA bouild but i guess theres not many out there now to even have a discussion thread on them yet . give it a couple years maybe the FWD guys who are swaping the F20C's in will have some nasty N/a builds . i know for a fast there 1 FWD F20c build i know of now thats a full out Na build .

 

i honestly think a LS1 S2000 is more a slap in the face than a 2jz at least the 2jz platform still has some Japanese roots , a LS1 is a chevy motor ,for some reason in my opinion chevy and honda should never be mixed together , thats like a great dane a a Dotson having puppy's , that shi*t's just not rite.

 

I agree, The 2jZ isnt a bad motor but it doesnt belong in the S2000. The LS1 is junk and shouldnt be put in any thing.

 

wow finally someone who isn't a LS1 fanboy . man iam getting so sick and tired of going on every car forum and hearing about LS1 swaps, like there gods great gift to earth. they honestly have never impressed me , of coarse they make good power stock they have 8 cylinders and a ton of displacement iam sorry but it takes more then that to impress me .

 

Kyle, there is only so many times you can turn up the boost.

Trust me, I raced an STI in the city 10 times in my civic and he turned the boost up every time.

He never won.

 

I know lol. I would only push my turbo to 23PSI. I doubt that any all motor s2000 will ever be putting down over 350 and have some \crazy weight reduction also. If it was a Civic that would be an other story. Was that with your K20 eg?

 

Yeah K20 EG which was slower than my K20 DB8

 

The company name in your title, J's Racing, is a great place to look. Look for their S2000 that won the Touge Championship last year. That S2K was n/a. It mostly focused on suspension, but featured all J's engine parts e.i. intake, exhaust, ecu, etc., but J's parts won the day. And to get my 2cents in on the FI vs NA------J's S2k won that championship against all boosted cars. MUUUHAHAHAHA!!

 

It sure is a pretty looking motor though. $13k NZ is too much for me sadly.

the link i was looking at it on was asking 10k for the complete longblock , and the longblock is advertised as having 320hp.And then your link says 300hp so I'm not sure which one is correct.

 

what a great deal.

 

I think the F20C is 300 and the F22C is 320 - could be wrong...

 

is that 320 hp at the crank or at the wheel

 

Not sure it doesn't specify , i would hope whp for the price.

 

those crate engines are usually dynoed at the crank, during breaking period.

 

You can build a 300hp NA f20c for cheaper then 10k.

 

yeah 8 k

 

At least the LS1 is aluminum and wouldn't make the car ridiculously nose heavy.

That being said, Tremec transmissions are disgusting and my life would be complete if I never have to drive a car with one again.
