went cruising in my buds s2k today. K&N filter, test pipe, 70 shot. Car hauls ass for what it is.

first race isn't really a race, we were trying to get his bud in a full bolt on s2k to go, but he wouldn't.

second vid, we came across my buddy chris's 500+hp goat. LS2 with AFR 205 heads, big cam, long tubes, K&N intake, full exhaust, etc. What do you think happened? Short and sweet. But you get the point. He was toying with us.

Riding around with Chris was this new guy in town with a full bolt on ls2 goat. This was a pretty good race. He starts to reel us back in, but I think TJ could hold him off had he had the top up. From a dig it would be a good race cause it was an auto goat. 10/15 roll up to 100.

then some punk kids in mommy's grand prix gt are revving at us at a light. So we take a side road and let them get up beside us. I yell for them to go and we just freight train them like chris did to us earlier. lmao. Fun times.

ur buddies s2k is setup just right... honestly thats about the only setup u can run and make any decent power.... the f20/f22c love N2O o9nly thing it could use would be the 4.30 gear... nice runs... i miss my s2k alot lol

 

yea, I'm super impressed with it. It moves out really well. AFR is almost dialed in as well. He's saving up for a piggy back right now, to pull some timing and bump his shot up to 100shot.

 

Thats a badass setup

 

I've thought about going the nitrous route myself. Never used it, so wasn't sure how well the S was suited for it. Cuz 3-4 grand for a turbo setup is redonkulous.

 

I love it when you can say "tastefully modified"....This S2K definitely fits the mold there. Nice vids Ralli!

 

03 ap1, richmond 4.56 gears, inline pro turbo kit w/ head gasket, toda exhaust, volk te37, hondata, cr suspension or tein monoflex coilovers, and of course a few other goodies = one nice ride. the s2ks can hold 500+ hp on a stock block no problem. i would nix the nos and go turbo or leave it n/a. also piggy backs suck with nos. hondata is def the way to go running nos.

 

my buddy has a s2k too and damn they expensive to mod. im tryin to make him get k&n intake and gears and cat-back so maybe he can keep up with me ;] lol

 

money money money money money is what you just said.

a piggy back allows him to pull a few degrees of timing and up the shot to 100. for cheap. **** turbo. waste of money. He's door to door with me right now, but I do have a blown head gasket and bad compression in cyl 3.

 

weeeeeeee.

 

Gears are 500 dollars not installed
IP turbo kit is 5 grand uninstalled and untuned
toda exhaust is 1500 dollars
Hondata K-Pro is 1800 for the K ecu, reflash, sensors, and NO tuning

I have spent 600 dollars in go fast mods. The mods you listed will cause me to rob a bank.

Intake and exhaust won't do dick for your friend. The gears will help a decent amount though.

 

truth, and for 600 bucks, the car ******* moves out. Soon as he gets the piggy back and ups it to 100shot, the only thing that will be beating up on him around here is all the heavy modded v8 nitrous junkies.

 

yeah, intake and exhaust won't do much but make it sound a little better, no real power improvement. I put the k&n fipk on mine, you hear the intake over the exhaust now. Convince your friend to get it, he won't be disappointed.

 

yeah but those parts will give you 500hp if you want... may need a new clutch though lol... you could go cheap and just get the ap2 exhaust instead of the toda...
i dont know what piggy back will handle this reliably.. maybe emanage.. but when running anything over a 50 shot or so you want a standalone.. is it dry or wet shot?
also some intakes work well with the s2k of course those are money money.. you could invest 1500 in itbs lol.. but then you might as well stroke the engine out and go full n/a. but you can run 12s easily like that.

 

You really have no clue what you're talking about.

 

i heard the t1r titatium exhaust gives 15whp from him. but he wants gears the most

 

Heres the million dollar question:

Have u raced him?

 

yea, with my fucked up head gasket, dead even. 60roll plus. He inches ahead barely.

 

d1s what is your statement in reference to? my fondness of crappy piggy backs?? the flow properties of the ap2 exhaust over ap1 exhaust?

sure you can pick up a dry kit and a neo for 600.

everyone knows the s2000 is not a straight line car. some gears would yeild similar results..

wet or dry nitrous??????

 

Dry nitrous and a AFC Neo won't do **** for me. I boost fuel pressure when I spray just like the 05115-NOS 5.0 mustang guys do. Its a flawless setup that simple works. How am I gonna adjust timing with a AFC Neo? I would really like to know? The piggyback which I want is a Greddy Ultimate Emanage. Its a very versatile system and works great. Its the closest thing to a stand alone as you can get with a piggy back. I have contemplated going cheaper with the blue Greddy Emanage, but too many people have problems with them.

If an AP2 exhaust flows more than and AP1 exhaust and is worth the 150 dollars used before shipping, why do they dyno within 5 whp stock? Could it be because the cams are different?(they are) Could it be that the car is newer? IDK, but you obviously jumped to the conclusion that its all exhaust when theres many things at play. I don't know about you, but I don't like wasting my money on stupid BS mods like most Honda owners do.

Gears would help out. Definately a cheap mod that yields good results if you want to shave off a couple tenths of a second in the 1/4. What you also don't know is that if you go too aggressive with the gears, such as 4.77 gears, 1. It sucks donkey wang to auto-x with since you will be shifting like crazy 2. You have no highway drivability. With the stock 4.10 FD ratio, I cruise at 75mph at 4k rpm. Imagine if I would have any higher FD ratio. 3. Your top end goes to ****. If I were to get gears, I'd only get 4.44s. Nothing bigger. To your comment saying "gears yield similar results," the fastest I've seen a 4.77 geared s2000 run is a 13.5.

I hear this "s2000 is not a straight line car" bullshit all the time. I auto-x and I drag. I like all forms and the s2000 is a great car for both if you're into Honda's like me. What other Honda should I have picked other than an NSX? RWD, LSD, Lighter weight, and a 240flywheel hp engine stock. Seems logical to me.

Have a nice day

 

pwned

 

x2. i would of stomped all over your $600 dollar setup with my old $907 dollar setup. B-RAD knows this. lol gm stg2 + 45 shot FTW!

 

IDK. I launch pretty hard. You ever take it to the track?

 

I didnt saying the neo adjusts timing retard.. get it, timing retard lol.. emanage sucks... apexi power fc can be had for cheap and is not a standalone. Sure the cam profiles are different from ap1 to ap2. ap2s received that little extra torque and a lower redline. ap2 exhaust does flow better then ap1 exhaust you can check it on your honda-tech fan boi website. i wouldnt suggest the 4.77 gears either, they are too aggressive. if you have an ap1 diff you are going to be hurting. 13.5 is decent for just gears. fanbois typically run mid to low 14s in that car so thats a decent gain.

From the factory s2ks are not drag cars. You can swap a supra engine in any car if you have the money. I am not hating on the s2ks. They are actually one of my favorite rides. I do find piggy backs and dry nos to be unreliable most of the time. Lots of people did have probs with the blue box and the ultimate did add lots of features and people on ht still hate on it. I hope you are getting the harness rather then splicing and hacking.

how big of a shot are you running? Come on bottles are for babies!

There are a few rwd powered hondas that are nice most are rare/and/or exspensive. The 2002 lotus elises are starting to become cheap and you can swap a k20a in those all day. This would probally be a little cheaper then buying a used NSX with a reasonable amount of miles on it. The honda beat is sick but good luck finding one. if you are a baller there is always the arial atom. The s2k is readily available and affordable so of course its everyones first pick. The honda civic mugen RR is nice for FWD. Thats what the US mugen civic should have been.

 

Uh, no you wouldn't.

you are just all over the place. You can't even stay on topic. You OBVIOUSLY don't know much about what you are talking about.

STFU
