my brother in law and i have been going at it ever since he installed a supercharger on his 05 s2000, i've been able to edge him out usually, i last posted that he was putting lighter rims and tires. well his rims are on and we raced yesterday, from about 15mph i honked 3 times and hit it, we were about even through first, we grab second with him having a bumper lead on me, we run through second i hit the rev limiter i grab third and drop to his rear tire midway through third i drop to his bumper and he shut it down around 100.
hitting the rev limiter really kills your speed, my brother in law (gary) said he hit the rev limiter in 1st and second. this really sucks, i need some mods now i do have a k&n cone filter on my intake, i removed the stock crap box and it makes a difference. by the way gary said the new rims and tires saves him around 45lbs. i'll get him next time

Here's the S2000:




The supercharger: Novi 1000, running 5.5 - 6 psi, 280 rwhp and 185 rwtq. Not bad considering stock was 205 whp and 138 wtq. Nothing like the big bruiser my bother-n-law drives!! Regardless, it's pretty good power to weight ratio ~329 hp (given 85% drive train loss) at 3050 lbs (2880 car + 170 me) = 9.3. Not bad for a little 2.2L - 4 cyln. I still have my stock clutch, which isn't really meant to handle an addition 100 hp.




We also ran on the highway with my lighter setup. Him with a passenger, me without. A few instances, he stated that I was pulling a bit from him. Weight plays a big factor in my little car.

Next mods: lighten flywheel, race clutch, smaller pulley, larger injectors, programable ecu - goal to achieve at least 350 whp streetable daily driver (~ 412hp) for a power to weight ratio of 7.4.

Sounds like a fun race

DAMN that's a light car

I wish Honda had stuffed a more mod-friendly engine in that car

It just can't make enough power for my tastes, no matter what is thrown into it, and I LOVE THAT FREAKIN' CAR Always have

Nice Rides gentlemen

i know what you mean, his car is fast and shoots you forward, my gto slams you to your seat then rips up the pavement before shooting you forward V8

I thrashed a Supercharged S2000 that had 380 RWHP and 183 TQ. From 40 about 2 cars, and 20 about 3 cars. It was fun, low end torque on the LSx cars is great thats why I got out ahead and stayed there. Good luck next time.

m8d2run

380 rwhp and you beat him by a couple of cars with 280rwhp gary is running low 13's maybe even 12.9-13.0. 380 rwhp would put that car in the low 12's... thats a 100hp difference and about 450 at the crank i'd check and make sure that s2000 was making that much power. gook kill

Good races . Where in Cali do you live?

I think you meant to say 380 crank, cause at if his car is only making 183 rtq max, that is mathematically and mechanically impossible to get 380 rwhp. The torque on the S2000 is pretty flat after vtec engagement, so:

00-03's @ max rpm 8900

183 * (8900/5252) = ~ 310 rwhp = 365 crank hp (85% loss) or 387 bhp crank (80% loss)

04-05 @ max rpm 8200

183 * (8200/5252) = ~285 rwhp = 355 hp (85%) or 356 hp (80%)

For that guy to be making 380 rwhp, he'd need to have at least 224 (00-03's ) or 243 (04-05's) rwtq.

Regradless, nice kill nonetheless.

Learn how to drive your GTO a little better and you should be able to keep up and stay a bit even, and if not, add an intake =)

m8d2run

ummm how dumb, i know how to drive my car, and i usually stay even or have a slight lead, now with the lighter wheels his car seems to be alittle faster. we will race again though, i also will get an idea what the gto will do with the gtech meter i have i'll keep you guys posted..
