I am asking on my cousin's behalf - He reads a lot about getting Vortech in a s2k is the way to go for bang for your buck and we went to a JDM meet in Japantown SF and saw a few nice mugen and sponed out s2k's with a vortech and nitrous- is this a little too much for a stock motor? the guys who owned the cars said their all running stock motors and that they're all bullet proof- up to a certain point - after seeing these cars... my cuz wants to do a upgrade! should he?

 

friend/cousin/brother/etc. - he or she should be doing some inquiring on this since it isn't exactly your money that will replace the motor if and when it goes.

I'm not a fan of nitrous, especially on this car. the vortech - hell yea. but nitrous - I've witnessed one shop toast two F20c's (incompetent shop) and a few others roast rear diffs/clutches, etc. it isn't to say it will happen to you or your cousin/bro/etc., but it increases the possibility of it.

the motor will be fine, but up to a certain point, I would say "no no" unless you are out for a specific purpose: bracket racing or show car. otherwise, it would be entirely useless. the vortech alone on the other hand... ahhh.. very useful and it will be on all the time.

 

thanks bro!~
