i've heard rumors about this swap and have only seen a picture. does anyone know anything about this? i think this would be an awesome build!

 

I know the guy who did it, it is a feature in Honda tuning just get a back issue and it will cover some of the specifics.

here is the link to the story.

i read through the article. that sounds pricey lol. maybe if a kit comes out and when the price of technology comes down.

 

 

way to much fab work for the little payoff for that

 

How much power did it make? It seems like a waste of money. You could build the F and stroke it if you want the displacement.

 

Last I talked with him he had it at 270whp at our altitude, tuning was still in progress.

It isn't a huge HP mod as he kept it N/A, the swap really wasn't to get more displacement either. I think he wanted the huge aftermarket pool of parts available to the K series engines. Plus a lot of aftermarket stuff for Ks are cheaper. It seems like you say you are looking for a part for an S2000 and people go "Oh really, that will cost you extra." Also he tracks the car a lot and was looking for something he could beat on without the added extras of FI.

 

y would someone do that to a CR??? fawking dumb as hell...

 

OMG!!! Any more info on the V6 swap.

 

i hope your joking...

It was HPD Honda Performance Developement that did the V6 swap they were trying to see if it would work and what kind of numbers they could get.

what numbers did they get???

 

x3

 

camoy knows his ****.

 

i dont care who did it... my response stays the same... fawking dumb as hell...

should have used a 2000 S with a salvage title... not a brand new CR...

 

Havnt people gotten up to 300 wheel horse on all motor set ups on stock motors? I know one guy did a year or two ago. If you want cheap, Ls1 swap?

 

the j's racing engine is rated at 300 hp... pretty sure its at fly but its an easier swap to do compared to having everything fabbed up... and prolly cost the same amount of money...

 

K motors are a dime a dozen, cheaper to go fast and the motor has been proven to adapt to mods very very well....

K motors are also newer technology then the F series so this swap can go miles longer than what the F can.


IN the end its costly.
I'll stick with my F till this becomes more available to the public

 

Yes they have but I don't think that 300whp can be done with only $3K. For that price he had a built K with ivtec and he would be able to go past the 300whp mark since more power can be had from the K with aftermarket parts. He only likes to autocross so he wanted the most realiability with the most power under the curve. The car is fast in the mid ranges as the TQ is higher and better distributed over the RPM range.

I am still on the fence about the swap, on the one side I see the potential. On the other I see the pitfalls and wonder is it worth it.

In the end though anything we do to our own cars is a personal expression of what we think is good. So to each his own.

 

they kept it in the honda family though. better than an ls2 imo.....

 

The guy that did the K swap has a thread on s2ki. I'd give you a link but s2ki is down for a couple of days.

 

when my motors give up, i'm taking off all the suspension components on my S, sandblasting/painting them, washing every nook and cranny of my car and leaving it on jackstands until I finish a 545CI LS swap.

 

If you dig up the original article you will read that this chassis was "built" without a motor and sent off to HPD. Never meant to go on sale at a dealership. So I don't see the harm?

 

like i said... ls1 swap...
