Welcome to the board! Congrats on the LS1 purchase. That sounds like a sweet ride you got. Nothing wrong with buying a modded car IMHO as long as it's not your daily driver.

Good luck with the new ride and welcome to the good side of the force

Yes I was going for the 2.4L. A word of caution for your bro: He needs to see what kind of turbo that thing can handle at the high compression ratio an S2000 runs. If he went and put something even as small as a T-25 or 14b on it and cranked it up to 12 psi, that motor would blow up in no time.

Peace,
Yeah it's adjustable, but the muffler is bypassed right now. On Saturday I'm going to put flow back through the muffler and see how it sounds. If it's still too obnoxious for where I live, I can always put the cats back on.

He has a 3g eclipse not an s2000. It's got a 4g64 so alot of the after market 2g stuff could be made to work with it. But anyway this is a LS1 board so back to the LS1 talk!

umm what is the stock compression ratio for those? (s2k)

congrats on your lucky aquisition, just a 100shot away from some excellent times.

also 5.7l can spool turbos faster than 90% of other cars in the road, just a though.



T-88 ls1s own me
