Buddies got one thats lowered,CF hood, dual Magnaflow exhaust, and tints. His daddy bought it for him, I got Ottp 4th gen H/E,Air box mod (soon to be Fujita 3' intake) and maybe a tune. Uninstalled in the trunk is my 42's 2.9 pulley,1 step colder plugs. Highway roll could i take him with my H/E and Airbox mod or do i need the rest to woop him

I'm thinking it'd be close or he'd get you now. Install the 2.9 and beat him

 

i know but i'm either getting a sick Header/DP/Catback setup or Tune oh btw i have a wideband so that could help my tune

 

H/E and airbox mod is not going to beat him. You need your 42s, 2.9 and a tune for sure to even have a chance of beating him.

 

just my .02 but a header/dp/catback setup is gonna cost you upwards of $800, and thats if you really watch your spending lol, a tune will only cost you a couple hundred so i'd just throw your injectors/pulley on etc, get tuned and spank him!

 

problem is if i get the header/dp/cat ill be able to install my Wideband with my stock dp it ain't gonna be pretty

 

you could just get the dp?

 

nah guys selling me a SLP Header/dp combo with a Vibrant catback for 850 and i really want that sound but im going on a trip to TN,smokey mountains and I'm driving my car and he's driving his and i wanna see what we could do

 

is it possible to place the Wideband O2 sensor in place of the DP rear o2 sensor and use it on the stock dp?

 

no you will have to get another 02 bung welded in if you want to use the wideband on the stock dp

 

the 03 doesnt rev to 9k so its the worse of the 2. It goes to 8K

 

If he is not a pretty good driver you might be able to take him. The power band on the S2K is through the roof. It needs to be int he upper 90% of the RPM range to do anything. The SC has a better powerband, it would be an interesting race I think... IF yours is tuned and with that pulley you should pretty well destroy him... Run him the way you are now just to see though. Then blow his anus open when you get the rest of your mods done.

 

Actually the 03 was the last year of the ap1, aka 9000 rpm redline. 04 moved to 2.2L, 8000 rpm redline.

 

GL w/the run, but my money would be on the S2K from a dig or a roll..........................sorry.

 

With the way the cars are now, no doubt you are right... But the S2K is kind of a bitch to drive well. cuz they have ZERO power before like 5k rpm. If the driver shifts a hair too early he is done.

 

the later engine for the s2k (f22c1) is actually better not worse. they make more torque and same hp with a better torque curve that doesnt need to be in the upper 90% to make power. they are also about two tenths faster in the quarter on average and the engine can handle more power (700 whp on complete stock longblock). even with the 2.9 it should be a good race if the guy can drive. the s2ks are pretty fast from a roll

 

Isn't that the case w/hondas & their VTAKKKK lol jk
I got a lot of buddies that are honda nuts & a few own s2k's, definately fun cars but like you said no feel for power till 5K+rpm

 

idk if he can drive it his dad just buys him cars after he breaks them, tho he never changes the oil and does mechanical work. He thinks he's a pro drifter lol. but i might have bigger issues due to we are packing the cars full with Gear for our trip and my car will have 4 people in it and his will have 2 and lots of **** in both our trunks i might need more mods causw my car will way a **** ton lol

also a OPTION B kit will be installed soon. meth will be near summer. Ill get him 1 day but i was curious to know if i could on just a few mods

 

Yea, If you go peruse the honda forums you can actually see where the V-tec hits on a dyno. There will be a noticeable drop then bump at like 6500 rpm I think.. I'd have to look at one but go check it out. Oh and another thing, make sure that the dyno they are using is set on engine RPM and not wheel speed... haha one guys said he had a 300whp SI and the dyno was on wheel speed or some crap and you can't tell when the powerband kicks in I dunno it seems like they do everything the can to make their cars SEEM fast and not BE fast.

 

That makes it faster right?

 

I ran one last summer and he was tuned with full exhaust we did a 60 roll and I put buses on him with a 2.9 pulley oh wait......that was on my TVS

 

idk i think it should be a damn good roll race, when my uncle had a stock 03 s2k and my balt was bone stock it was pretty dead even he maybe inched me out. that was the result with any s2k i raced stock for stock.

 

IDK, I rode in one and it felt really slow. Still enough to have your hands full though.

 

Well dude, in defense of a S2K, you are running a pretty ballsy car there amigo... Even a highly modded S2k will fall prey to the beastly SRT you have there. I would love to dig or roll a race on an S2k. What I lose off the line, I will make up for in 2nd and 3rd gear. They will have us FWD cars on a road track though for sure... They handle like a fairy lit on coke.

 

Install your parts and get your tune first and you'll have no worries. My GM STG 2 balt will ring a nearly stock s2k out! For sure!!! I you run him as is, from a dig you'll probably lose. If you roll rice, you should take him.
