What a ****** retard. My parents live right down the street from that guys house. I'd like to walk up to him and let him know that he doesn't know how to tune if he can't make more then 450hp on an FD with the right turbo and "race prep engine".

That was my plan with an s2000 as well; however, he can go **** himself with the rotary bit.

Pretty cool...but the F20/F22C is a work of art. Why load up the car with all that excessive weight and power than the car already needs? More like a Corvette vert than an S2000 now...=\
IMO F22C > 2JZ any time of the day wooooooooooo

It's interesting to see how well the 2JZ fits in the S2000. I would have thought it would be way in front of the front strut towers, and would totally **** up the weight balance of that car, but it actually doesn't look too bad in there. In an FD, though, it DOES sit way far forward, and it DOES totally **** up the weight balance. I'd honestly rather see him swap an LSx engine in there as opposed to a 2JZ, at least the car would still be able to handle...

Better yet I'd like to see him learn how to distinguish his *** from his elbow, and properly build a 13B "race motor" that can make a damn sight more than 450hp. Hell, you could build a ridiculous 13B-REW (or do a very clean 20B install) for what it's going to cost him to drop a 2JZ in there.

All I heard was $15000 for a nose heavy pig. The car is nice, I guess and seems to have nice power, but like a few of you already said, I would rather have the F22 done up or even a nice 13b.

^^ I noticed that too. I guess people would rather have that cool sound than a healthy turbo. Oh well.

You kidding?

Its not only about cool sound, the engine has more power, is more unique and more reliable than anything else that would probably fit in that engine bay.

So its like 100lbs heavier in the noise, its prob meant for a straight line monster anyway.

Healthy turbo?

LOL thats funny, you're talking about a couple hundred dollar turbo crapping out when we belong on a rotary forum where our engines blow up constantly.

Anyone else find it odd he claims he was a Honda Tech for many years, but all these swaps are 2JZ...?? I guess it's not too odd... The founder of HomeMadeTurbo.com is a Nissan tech who builds Hondas on the side....

Ignorance is bliss.

Yeah rotary isnt the most efficient engine, but I dont see a problem with them.

Yeah the 2jz will suck on the fd, but thats okay. Race prepped rotary with 450hp HA!

Uhm... who actually wants to work on that 2jz s2k? i dont see any room for anything including hands. Although it has a nice fit and finish. No gaps anywhere.

And uh "...we belong on a rotary forum where our engines blow up constantly."
Sorry to hear that, it should be re-worded.
"...I(as in you, not me) belong on a rotary forum where my(as in you, not me) engines blow up constantly."

It just never happened to me, but then again, I don't run boost.

if we know wat were doing, and tune our cars properly, i dont see why our engines will give up unless weve got very high mileage. Plain and simple. we have fundamental cars, and clearly some people cant handle that.

the s2k sounded fast though. how much hp u guys think hes got. 2jz can handle sick power. Im still trying to getting over what he said though.
