I've got a 2005 S2000 with just under 10,000 miles. I was looking at buying a Vortech Supercharger. My question is with the S2000 already having a high proformance engine, will/should I replace any of the stock engine parts (i.e pistons, valve springs, piston rods or other **** like that)?

I don't plan on doing any street racing or Fast and the furious bullshit, I just to be able to have the power when I need it. Let me know

First if you are a trail member toy arnt aloud to make topics ...people get pissed
the motor should be good but to be on the safe side
I would get some valves, valve springs and retainers ...exhaust always helps to

 

Don't listen to what is stated above.

A vortech on stock boost is fine with stock internals. Valves, valve springs, retainers are all not needed!!

If you're just going to buy the supercharger and install it you're good to go. Nothing needs to be changed. You might want to opt for another form of engine management though to get that little extra power and a piece of mind.

Know your facts before you start dishing out information. This motor isn't your typical b16 or b18 or even h22 motor.

None, and I mean NONE of the stuff you stated is needed.

 

watchout someone got a new avatar...

yes he is correct none of those things matter to the F20/22 unless they are going big and i mean BIG in power...... only thing would be the exhaust to free up that power....

 

I never told him that he would NEED them ..just a good idea....
do you really think that the valve springs or retainers are going to be as good of shape if the car was N/A ...truth is that its harder on every thing.........

It's not even a good idea, it's a waste of money unless you want to hit numbers in the 600+ area. And there is absolutely no way he will be reaching those numbers with a supercharger. It's common sense.

 

its only around 400 dollars for retainers and springs ...if your gonna drop 4K ...whats an extra 400 dollars ...thats how i think about it...but i guess every one has there own ideas....

 

$400 could be spent towards tuning which is the most important thing of any setup. I'm an avid believer of not putting a part on the car if it's not needed for the particular setup.


It's like getting a stage 5 clutch when all you really need is a stage 2, but one decided to get the stage 5 since it sounds more "hardcore" and gives the illusion that you have more work done.

 

haha roll cage in stock cars are hardcore to the max!! .... are you turbo ?
i think i saw you saying you had a gt3572R or some thing like that

dood u do know that the F20/22 is pretty much a "BUILT" motor from teh factory???
the F20 can see 10K rpms without a problem.. the valvetrain is more then enough.... just drop the comp with a headgasket and your set

well if your pulling the head then you should just go a head and do some work but if your not pulling your motor apart then leave it be...b/c if your pulling the head you better go ahead and get new timing belt and water pump..b/c you have to take it apart anyway..then you can say whats an extra 150 bucks..

oh yea and i fixed your spelling

OMG! You have gotta be kidding me.

1. When did the s2000 get a timing belt? ROFL.
Answer: Never!!! It has a chain.

2. Replace the water pump because you pulled the head?
Answer: Ummmm. NO!

1. I know it has a chain..i was talking general knowledge for other motors, Sorry ive been messing with 600 HP B-series

2. if you pull the motor apart and have extra money i say go ahead and do a little biulding..it never hurts. as long as you do it right. if you have the money.

3. Sorry i didnt use gramer check

*GASP* no way, you are too cool.....although your messing with 600hp B-series motors does nothing for the fact that you posted and looked completely uninformed about the s2000's motor, then proceeded to grammatically correct someone when you yourself are lacking in that area

so i lacked in Sole F-20 motors but what im saying isn't wrong, if you have the head off and have the money to do a little biulding why not do it... sorry i mixed up chain and belt...kill me..no need to do things twice.. thats all im saying.

 

the stock units are more then enough for 98% of the apps out there...
lets stop repeating the same thing and giving slvrstns2000
**** its been cleared already
