I've always liked s2ks but they just felt abit slow but this certainly sorts that out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not for me. Kinda removes the point of a good VTEC engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not for me. Kinda removes the point of a good VTEC engine. thats true but my integra felt so much better to drive than the s2k in vtec The s2000 for me just needs a little bit more poke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I would imagine it would be more than a handfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almeida1234 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I would need more info If I am spending 9000 pounds, doesn't take long to write a good advertisement, plus doesn't look like he got the best feedbacks either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) was gonna say i have a turbo'd vtec car similar to the s2000, and for 9k i'd want a tidier job done lol. i mean i done mine myself and my engine bay is alot neater than that, looks like he's gone for fan points and rush jobbed a turbo on it. also as above, it takes not long to write a proper write up! oh and as for vtec over turbo, my vtec cuts in at 4k my turbo comes in at 4.8 best of both worlds! lol Edited March 24, 2014 by -Bradders- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 so you got your car how you want and now looking to get rid for a s2k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Stu1986 had one which he did himself, PM him for some tips. I know his was a MASSIVE handful, but he definitely loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 i wouldnt sell the zed anytime soon but was just looking haha! dont see them come up for sale very often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 thats going to be rapido fast, if it stays together. as mentioned, i'd want a lot more info and exactly whats been done and who did it, but even then the engine bay doesnt inspire much confidence. would certainly be an entertaining drive, i imagine it would go nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, VTECTURBO, spin, tree, fireball. but fun for about 0.5 seconds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Discussed on the s2ki forum. I know nothing about the car but TGM who I believe built the car in the first instance are the abbey/kaiser motors of the honda world. http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/1076514-black-tgm-racing-s2000-turbo-need-to-find-out-some-info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Owner only just bought it and now selling? Only done 2K miles on the rebuild? rubbish ad? engine bay looks ruff & unclean?.... Wouldn't touch it imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 maybe i should just turbo the Z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 maybe i should just turbo the Z Now that's an idea, ...or just sell your Zed and buy an already awesome turbo charged Zed. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/82217-zed-tt-full-cosworth-forged-aps-twin-turbo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Too expensive for a pre facelift in my opinion even with that engine. Facelift is way nicer and the comptech supercharger kits give way smoother power and make a good v-tec great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I much preferred my S2000 over my zed, far better drivers car, lighter, better feedback, more nimble, pedals were better laid out, heel and toe w's easier, gear box was like a Springfield rifle. But it is horses for courses. One mans pedigree is another mans mongrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That looks really well looked after 😳 NOT! It looks like its been left in a barn for 10years, he's found it and thought "I'll sell that" Seriously though, the S2000 is a great car (albeit with questionable handling in the wet) with would benefit power wise from adding a turbo, or better still a supercharger, but not that particular heap of . . . . . . . . !

Rock_Steady Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I was under the impression that v-tech engines would benefit from a supercharger rather than blown since their torque figures a pretty pithy at best? or is that just a load of tosh?

Ekona Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A little. VTEC engines have about the same torque as a normal engine of a given size, it's just that they have a lot more power and made all high-up in the rev range so it makes the torque look artificially low. I'd vastly prefer an SC conversion on something like this so you don't lose the character of the engine, but sometimes it's hard to get people to look at the overall drive rather than outright power figures.

Daryl Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 You could argue that you buy a Vtec for the top end scream, not the lack of torque, so a supercharger changes the driveability characteristics of the engine, where as a turbo is more in keeping. Never driven a Vtec, but cant see the appeal. I actually showed this ad to a mte of mine who ran a straipped out S2000, and he was very tempted to buy it. However, he is currently installing a turbo in his mk1 Mx5, so cant justify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never driven a Vtec, but cant see the appeal. Other way round, surely? Turbo fattens the torque curve at the bottom end. SC leaves the torque curve alone.

The Chubby Ninja Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Depends on what type of supercharger.a twin screw like Jackson racing or stillen will give all in the mid range but not up top so will change the characteristics of the engine. A centrifugal charger like a procharger or vortech will keep the characteristics the same and be mental in the high revs. A turbo would ruin the car in my opinion Edited March 27, 2014 by The Chubby Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
