Possibly the coolest honda ever. I want to see them put it in a NSX.

its a cool idea, but the S2000 was made to be a handler. that motor and turbo is probably messing up the weight bias of that car. something lighter would probably make me happier

 

Didnt look that impressive to me :/

Nice work and all though.

 

it never mentions what it put down.. they'd have to spend alot more $ for the single turbo/fuel setup..

so lets see:

used s2k: 20k
2jz by these guys: 16k
big turbo/fuel setup: 10k (probably low est.)
not including the rear/tranny/clutch.

 

the whole swap including labor is 14k
and that car is probably making 350whp on just 10lbs
and after changing the rear end, it will probably be reliable for 30lbs-(about 700whp)

 

 

werd to InsomZ

 

they weren't completely done with the car when that video was made, it should be a beast when they're done. i would much rather have that set up than the original....

that run was only on 9psi on the stock rear end, they're going to put a silvia rear-end in it also. so they weren't trying to tear anything up. not to mention it wasn't their car to beat on.

 

On supra forums they said for what you could sell the S2k engine for you could buy and mod a supra engine to make it pretty mean. I also dont think the 2JZ weighs a ton more then the F20C. I really want to see that 2JZ powered FD thats a heck of a cool swap. The car still weighs just a touch over 3k lbs so it should still handle well.

 

pretty cool , but I still wanna do an LS2000 swap

 

An LS1 is probably lighter and smaller.

DOHC's are huge compared to pushrod engines, and the 2JZ's are iron.

 

thats what im thinking. not an excessive amount of power, but enough to have fun with

 

Thats why there is alot of the LSx RX7's. ITs a great combo!!

My favorite 2JZ swap with NAWS Old yet still pretty funny.

 

I dont think I would trust those guys with $14-16 k there shop looks like a garage on there house with no lift and I really couldn't see a lot of tools around to assist in swapping motors let alone the fabrication of parts that would be needed

 

They are doing all this in the garage. if i was paying I would go to a real shop.

 

Here are some pictures of a car we did a 2jz swap into.

 

o so you cant get quality work from someone that works out of their garage?

 

Well that swap cost some serious $$ so i would rather go to a real shop. Unless of course it was like mine or one of my good friends garages, thats a different story.

 

define "REAL SHOP"
