Hello all!!! Newer to the site but no new to the car scene. I have been one of the Honda guys everyone hate's! After many Honda builds I decided for a change so I sold my last Honda drag car. After I sold the Coupe Drag car, I bought a 88 Rx7 and SBC swapped it, had a lot of fun, and got bored of it. Moral of story, carbs suck. Shitty drivability. Thought I would get and S2000 and do the LSx swap in one. Looked for almost a half a year for a S2000 shell... to no avail for a good price. Finally found a AP1 that had actually be previously LS swapped. I thought for about 2 mins and bought it!

Before anyone bashes....I enjoy it, you don't have to. I do. Also, the guys that say "well you didn't build it all' Your right, I didn't. I have already built multiple High hp Hondas, Rx7's and all kinds of other ****. I have no reason not to take a short cut this time, and it saved me a ton of money.

I will update this as I go, just like my other threads.

Looks like a cool build, something different for sure. I see the Iowa plates, where you from in Iowa?

Currently living in Concord, MO temporarily while the other half finishes grad school. But I am from Mason City, IA.

Awesome man. Should scoot if you can get it to hook.

Traction is going to be the biggest issue..

Love the build though.. Are you on s2ki too??

I can't believe that engine fits in that car, lol. Going to run well for sure!

iTrader: (11)

looks good. WHats up with the monster can? Some sort of catch can?

Gerrot

I am, I don't post much there either. Thanks!


Get it running and think about it I guess. I have lowering springs on it right now and it rides alright. I am more worried about getting some sort of diff replacement at the moment.

As for traction, I most likely will just get some slicks for racing purpose on a set of cheap Summit Wheels again. They worked great and looked ok on my RX7.

More pics will be up tonight. Working on the IC piping today and getting the oil pan off and tapped.

Yeah the engine bay is pretty roomy. This one has a LS3 and F1 on it

iTrader: (14)

Lol in the first few pics it was a 7UP bottle then the Monster Can. Probably just a catch can and if it works its pretty damn cool.

I get what you mean, car looks really sick. People are gonna be like "wtf?! That thing is camming?!" Lol thats what I would say.

Noone here will bash that ride,that car should haul the mail

Gerrot

Thanks for the kind word guys!

Stopped work for today due to the NFL Playoff games!

Also, I am thinking of doing a Log type connection between the two manifolds and making a T off of it to go up to the turbo. This may not be the best flowing route, but I really have no space for the piping in the first place.

Please let me know your thought on this guys.

Gerrot

Some pics of what space I am working with and of what I got done with the IC piping and BOV.

Thinking of connecting the right and left side together and making a T to go to the turbo. Thoughts?

It was a coolant overflow can and it worked great. I just threw it out though. I have to mount the overflow up front to save space now. Thinking of getting a Keg Can(Heineken) for the next one.

NICE! I'm debating of going single turbo on the LQ4/T56 setup thats going into my S2000 over winter.

That looks like an ls3 intake, not a ls6.
