Default Turbo Honda S2000 > Cam Ls1 TA**video**

Went for some runs last night. S2K was turbo, i forget what kit, but it was a pretty big turbo when he popped the hood, he was about power #'s so i dont have that to report. He wanted to start at 45mph, which is kind of a dead spot in 2nd for me, but it worked well i guess because my tires are getting spanked.

check out those front brakes when hes brake boosting!

I would say this is one FAST S2K considering my track times and kill list. to the s2k driver

Thats like seeing Bigfoot. There actually IS a fast S2K.

I would love to have a S2K with an LS2 swap.

No, not really. No Hondas are, they have super short gearing designed for 0-60 sprints and city driving, thats about it. A stock S2000 doesn't pull worth a damn on the top end, a high redline doesn't necessarily equal good top end power.

This particular example in this video obviously had better top end, seeing as it was turbocharged.

^^^ Good point.

Not too bad though as far as gearing goes. I would say they are decent for FI applications w/ such a little car assuming they can use all 6 gears and handle 9Krpm +. They would be better if they used a taller tire or higher rear gear.

All these are at 9000rpm:

1st (3.133) 48.88 mph
2nd (2.045) 74.88 mph
3rd (1.481) 103.4 mph
4th (1.161) 131.9 mph
5th (0.970) 157.71 mph
6th (0.810) 188.82 mph
Final Drive 4.10 w/ a 23.44in. tire.

vs. M6 F-body @ 6000rpm

1st (2.66) 50mph
2nd (1.78) 75mph
3rd (1.30) 103mph
4th (1.00) 134mph
5th (0.78) 181mph
6th (.050) 268mph
Final Drive 3.42 w/ 25.66in. tire.

why the "either/or" argument? why not just get some nice heads AND spray him?
