I would first like to know how much the whole swap would cost me? i dont even have an s2000 yet but i AM getting one before i leave to the marines in march. i can find a nice ap2 on craigs for around 16k, ive had my integra for too long its time for an uprade from a poor mans r and f22 just wont cut it for me, ive never done a swap like this before what ALL is needed for a complete swap including engine, will it be reliable? and most of all will it be worth it? let me know your guy's ideas Thanks!!

 

i'm almost willing to call troll on this one.

this is ridiculous. i can certainly understand the want for a bigger engine in the s2000 (not my thing but we're all different) but to assume that you could just "toss in" an engine of different size, displacement, horsepower, make, application with zero custom fabbing / custom swapping experience is ludicrous. to top it off the s2000 is well built to start with and with reasonably cheap mods will out handle your integra in the twisties as if you were sitting still.

you will get few decent responses to this question for a few reasons:
-if you had the abilities to do this, you would have bought a smashed corvette or GTO and started the swap already
-you would not worry about reliability issues if you had the car completely apart and know where every component is and how it works (what's a small engine rebuild when you just spent 15k retrofitting the engine)
-you would have searched AT LEAST google before you ask here

and i severely doubt that anyone has a comprehensive parts list because there is alot of custom work to be done; mounts, wiring, adapters, drive shaft(s), differential, hubs, stance, alignment angles etc etc.

the point of these unique swaps is to be just that. unique. so if you want to try it, try it but i'll be the first to warn you that NOTHING is compatible, including the engine bay, and if you choose to quit half way, your 16k s2000 is now worth 500$ to somebody who will have to fix it, due to the sawzall marks all over the place.

 

its been done b4 search around for info instead of just asking

 

in my experience whenever somebody asks how much/how hard a project is then they can't pull it off.

 

also if you have to ask if a project is worth it then it probably isnt

 

please dont ruin a perfectly built car.if your wanting to do a v8 swap buy an older 240 or rx7.not a s2000!!

 

Read the forums, get the S, then decide what you want. You'll probably end up chucking a turbo on it.

 

If someone can photoshop a V10 Viper engine in a 5th gen civic. I don't see why not a real LS1 wouldn't fit in a AP1/2.

 

If you have to ask...

 

This has already been done a million times.

 

why don't you do this? and keep it OEM... V8 Baby!

 

reminds me of that v12 supra that was made by putting 2 2jz's together.

 

except the 2jz v12 was real...

 

Check out hinson supercars there actualy working on a swap kit

the s2000 engine bay is huge and the 4cyl in there only takes up such a small portion of the bay, its just begging for something bigger to be put in

funny video....he almost hits the yellow car.

 

lol how much do you plan to make even active duty? if you're really trying to blow about a year's pay on an s2k and have nothing else to spend on, hand me 35k i'll get it done for ya

 

why not try a j35 swap? have a j2f adapter plate made, throw a couple turbos on and ur making just as much power for less money, maybe. atleast ur keepin it honda!

 

HitHead to the fullest. How dare you even think about putting a v8 in a s2k lol..

 

i wanna Ls7 swap my next S2000....

 

video is sick, doesnt at all look like hes gonna hit that yellow car tho lol

if you are really dedicated enough, just do it and don't think too much about it or you won't do it
