so yeah, I was talking with the guy on s2ki and here are a few things on the swap...

Steering Rack was moved 6-7 inches
Front reinforcement beam was removed
the whole drivetrain is that Nissan conversion stuff
No firewall cutting

As of right now, they will do the whole package, everything everything big single turbo, tune, everything for $16k... If you give them your engine and tranny (F20C) then they'll do it for $12k...

That is insanely cheap. Because with just with engine build up (to lets say 500+ hp) is like 5 grand, then 5-6k on a turbo kit (i'd go with full-race), tune and computer $2,500, nissan drivetrain conversion $3k. And lets go with a grand with misc stuff... thats $17500. Also my S2000 at that point won't be my daily driver anymore... well not as much.

He also said that price will drop if your doing less hp than what they are offering. which is for 900+whp

I'll hopefully be doing this swap next year or if I get more info and some convencing I'd just go turbo or SC with the F20.

holy monther of crazy chariot!

must be way crazy power to weight

[FaLKoN240]

I would want less HP in such a small car. What kinda diff do they use? The stock S2K one? Sorry I don't know much about the "Nissan Conversion 'stuff' "

o_O that shit looks like it was squeezed in, no room what so ever

Supra power in something that weighs 400 pounds less. Hm. Interesting. Now I'm curious to see how the Honda drivetrain will take that. I diddnt read the entire thing so maybe they did replace it but I wasnt lookin... I'm scared to know how much weight that motor added to the car but it looks like they managed to scoot the motor rather far back which is good. I will definitely agree that is really freakin cheap though. Has to be some catch. You wont do that then come to Bradenton Motorsports Park to get some times.

I knew that car was never a honda, it was nissans / toyotas undercover car used to spy on the honda company too see what theyre up to!!!

I saw the thread, and was hoping I'd see an F20 in a MkIII Supra.
Pretty nice regardless.

[95Blue240sx]

When did you start making soo much money?! I cant afford shit for my car and you are planning on dropping 12k.

looks pretty sweet, though/

[cali240sxdrifter]

lol, whats going on man... naw, it won't be for awhile once I get out of college. I'm doing something big to the S, but i'm thinking more and more and it may not be the 2JZ swap anymore. We'll see

yeah +1 on that

but goddayum that car is fast at 9 PSI

wish i had the money to do all this stuff :(

[ixfxi]

i wouldnt do that.. too butcher-ish.

an s2000 is a very balanced drivers car. much like folks who install v8's into miatas, it works - i just think there are better ways to attain power, and if you're going to go that extreme, do it with a different platform.

but then again, what do most people know? a lot of people build up cars for high hp, but dont even know how to control a stock car. its usually the people with the least amount of money that have the most amount of knowledge. and unfortunately, those with all the money and powerful cars.. just dont know how to handle it.

so while having all that power in an s2000 sure will get a lot of attention, i wouldnt be surprised if a car with 1/2 the power would blow past a car like that in the canyons.

nice swap though, looks pretty.

[Farzam]

I'm strictly against swaps in s2000's.
Those cars are built perfect.
Turbo it, supercharge it, get coilovers, build it....just don't put another motor in there.

[wootwoot]

We dont have canyons in Florida though.

[ixfxi]

maybe after a few more hurricanes??? :-)

[HaLo]

Well.. the balance still looks better than a RB in a 240sx... look how back the engine sits...

[ixfxi]

i really wouldnt enjoy working on that car.

for me, sr is more than enough. and roomy to keep me smiling when i have to work on it.

i have plenty of customers with VQ motors (NA and turbo), and i just feel sorry for them. poor guys pay up the ass for qualified mechanics to work on those. the 2JZ swap doesnt look friendly, room-wise.

Oh My Goodness !
