hosestop@msn.com Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Honda boy or not F20c and F22c1 are sweet power plants. 240hp and up to 9000rpm reliable Honda power. These engines spin bearings but only when constantly rung out by the driver. And the trans is pretty good if you aren't trying to drag race with what is more like 1/2 an F1 engine than torque monster turbo or V8. Turbos and hard launches definitely eat the s2000 6spd. I've been wanting to swap one of these into a project for 3-4 years but they ARE expensive. Bare bones kit is 3500-4k vs SR20 at $1-2000 OH and unless you use the dumb 80's Corvette looking stock gauges you have to drop more $$ on an ECU to run the endings. I don't like digital gauges Maybe I need a google 7" tablet with an analogue gauge app permanently mounted on the dash A guy that repairs them and races them , says he changes oil in trans every time changes engine oil almost (inspects),and has a spare jdm trans , in stock usually , why ?

But this is my point (see red word above) What kind of racing? S2000 is a street car and canyon carver at best. are we talking about e yellow truck still? TURBO. Driven on street spirited to nor they are fine. They aren't over built like a Getrag M265 that is often mated to 150hp but built for 500. Yes there are stronger transmissions around but you can't expect to take factory street parts racing and have them last at all. I did the Chump Car 36hr race in Spokane this year and we were using stock parts. That equaled 1 engine swap(nearly 2) and 1 transmission swap. We were Racing. That same engine and Trans on my street car has 230,000 miles on it.its running and shifting fine. Quote Link to comment
