S2000 Tuning Software??
First post so let's take it easy on me for not using the search option. Ive come to not trust the Search option on message boards (maybe it's because Im usually on a less reliable domestic message board???).
Ok, all kidding aside...
I currently own a 1999 Corvette and Im able to tune EVERYTHING on the car using HPTuners or EFILive.
http://www.hptumers.com
http://www.efilive.com
Is there anything on the Honda market that will allow me to do this? I used to work at a Honda dealer and still have shop friends, will a Honda tech have something that will allow me to adjust the VE, MAF, PE tables?
The reason, Im asking is Im currently tossing around the idea os selling my Vette and buying something else. But after having owned 2 Vettes, I already know I cant leave well enough alone and will absolutely mod the car. Im looking for something different this time but want to make sure whatever I end up getting, I will have all the resources available to do it right.
Oh yeah, forgot. What will it take to make 380-400 whp on a S2000?
TIA

Greddy e-manage
AEM EMS
give me a minute an ill get you links...
380-400 hp is doable...alot of people have these numbers using a turbo setup...theirs a bunch of turbo threads going on...
you can also achieve these numbers with a super charger and smaller crank pulley...
it just comes down to what you like. if you keep the car naturally aspirated, you will need a 2.5 stroker and head work just to be in the 350hp range...
FI seems like what your looking for. Im glad you posted realistic numbers like 380-400...
Last guy wanted 900hp

AEM is very good, alot of people use it because its user friendly. You just need to find a tuner who is familure with the software, or you can do it yourself...

read my 1st post, i added to it.
sry to bust nuts, but we have a header.
cams are tricky with the s2000, they have to be tuned. toda makes nice cams, but the trick to toda cams is the also getting the gears...
s2000 is a great car because their are many ways to free up power, you just have to compliment mods nicely and have a general idea on what your doing.
you seem like you will be ok with a build up

Nah. That used to belong to a friend of mine. It put down 280 whp when we dyoned it. He sold it when he bought his '04 vette. His 04 is now making 600+rwhp on an ECS Paxton SC kit.
Im not looking for stupid power like 900 whp. I dont have that kind of $$$.
I'm just wanting to be able to justify to my vette friends that selling my vette wasnt a mistake and a step backwards when it comes to outright power. I figured if a car that weighs 700-800lbs less than my vette is making the same power as the vette, I'll be a bit quicker.

Yeah. Not sure if the S will be able to pull off 360-370 rwtq at 4000rpm even boosted.
On a side note....... 4 posts left post for my 2nd Trial days

there's always the highend engine management systems such as Haltech, MoTeC, Apex'i power FC, etc.
there are not many ways to "free up" power actually on the F20C. Toda cams will only add about 5whp, although all over the rpm range, still IMO a waste of money. TODA couldn't make more aggressive profiles due to limitation in available clearance between the valves and the pistons. Because the F20C was designed with compact size in mind there aren't as much space to play around with compared to the B series.
Realistically 350WHP is pretty much impossible naturally aspirated. A FULLY BUILT 2.7L K series puts down around 300WHP, FI is the only way to get your figures and is the cheapest way to do it too.

just to show you how s2000 is not a great car when it comes to "free up power"

Based on your Dyno, It doesnt look like it's worth making any internal changes and just bolt on a turbo kit and get it tuned. Looks like the current configuration for the S is pretty much maxed out without head work and maybe some displacement increases.

I would just get a custom turbo set up and run aftermarket pistons on stock rods should be fine with a block guard. I know and did it personally on a B series motor that made 360whp on 12psi this was using a (t3/t04e) , side exit , 40mm wastegate and tuned on Crome.

thats all you need unless you're aiming for 500+rwhp

The stock S2k engine as pretty much been proven to near 500. And 400 is very easy to do.
Look into the full race kit for the S2k. Bang for the buck I think it's going to be hard to beat. Throw in some 750's, an AEM EMS, then the clutch will be the next to need upgrading. The rear differential won't hold up to a lot of hard drag style launches, fyi.

LoveFab is the best bang for the buck. Comes with AEM EMS, Injectors, Fuel Pump, and of course the turbo kit.
