I have an s2k with about 95000 miles on it. I want to put a TC or SC on it but am worried about the high milage. Should i sell the car and get a new one with lower miles or just put some money into this motor. Let me know what you think and what it might cost.

 

i wouldnt boost or supercharge it honestly...

keep there car and fully built the engine !

all motor > sc and tc

 

How much power can you make with a NA motor? If i rebuild it where should i spend my money to get the most power for the cheapest?

 

How much isnt the question, question is do you have the $'s....you first need to figure out if you want 300-400hp or 600+hp and work around that because the sky is the limit if you have money out the @**

 

I would(i actually am) rebuild a seperate engine thats NOT in your car now if you wanna boost it, when youre done with your build just swap it in, then keep or sell the 95k engine...I personally would have that one rebuilt and sell it or keep it for another project idk whatever you wanna do... best of luck

 

350 wheel would be good.

 

350whp with a greedy kit will cost less that get 350whp na, if you got the money for na then do it,its more reliable, you dont have to get re-tuned every few months blah blah blah, na every hp counts itb's, cams, headers, exhaust, engine management, WEIGHT SAVINGS, stroking the engine, finding ways for better air-flow...the list goes on.... if all you want is 350whp quick the get a greedy kit, if you wanna spend money and want it all motor go na

350whp on a complete greddy kit is going to be quite a challenge.

350whp NA out of an S2k motor F20C/F22C is next to impossible.

looks like you're either going with a supercharger or a turbo setup.

Do a leakdown test and see how your motor's doing. If your motor's leaking less than 6%, i wouldn't doubt it and go ahead and boost it. Would I expect a million miles out of the motor? absolutely not. But will it be okay for awhile? absolutely, why the hell not. 350whp will still be pretty reliable if you're on top of things. Good tune and being on top of maintenance will go a long way.

 

start with a leakdown test. If it's good, go ahead and boost it.

If not, either leave it, or plan bigger and build the motor!

 

before you say 350 na is impossible check this out.....http://http://www.s2ki.com/forums/in...owtopic=787430

 

He said next to impossible as in not likely. Especially coming from someone who needs to make threads like these. No offense OP.

 

thanks Mr.Obvious, someone asked a question I did my best to help them

 

lol.

 

Just build a motor you can do it for fairly cheap. keep the stock head, just change out the retainers.

rods - $500-800
pistons - $ 450-600
sleeves - $1000-1200

lol @ all motor. yeah, you should fully built your motor that would be cool.


If you wanna drag race and actually win you will need more then 350 horse.


PS. you link doesnt work.

 

300whp N/A power feels as good as 400whp F/I power...

a lot of people go F/I, but i give a lot of respect to those that make great power directly from N/A

 

N/A just seems sick. never experienced it. But I'd love to do a nasty n/a build.

 

NA will NEVER do this on a S2000.

drags are for queens

 

anyone see what i did there? i resisted replying to the response to my post and surely enough honda-tech corrects it. this place sure does feel like home after 3 or so years.

 

Well said

 

yep, leakdown and compression, if all is good boost away. til you want more and have to build a block anyway lol

 

or til the rings/ringlands crack, bearings spin, or some other form of catastrophic engine failure.

 

or a bad tune...

 

leak down test tomorrow morning, if it comes back good how many miles can i realistically expect out of this motor?
