Modified N/A'd S2000's, how much RWKW?

[Steve695]

Hey all.

To my understanding, the s2000 has about 136RWKW stock.

I was just wondering, from those out there who have done engine mods and left your S2K's N/A'd, what sort of power are you making at the wheels?

I want to aim for 155-160 at the rears, but it seems very hard to achieve with the F20C being so highly tuned from the factory, so I'm curious with what other people have achieved and what sort of mods they used?

I hit 145 or 150 before going FI with just a toda header, K&N FIPK, and Invidia exhaust.

Not bad at all.

So if I get a decent exhaust, intake and a good ECU/dyno tune I should be able to crack 150?

I'm not allowed Forced Induction because of P-plate laws, pretty silly laws i swear the people who write them know nothing, a standard S2K's will beat a lot of V8's and turbocharged cars.

However, I personally prefer the N/A'd appeal to S2K's anyway, but just want to try and make some more RWKW's.

It's not a matter of what car beats what, it's the power-weight-experience-ratio. In my opinion, it's torque that kills - nothing we have to worry about!

That's not what I meant. In Victoria, P-platers aren't allowed to drive turbo/super charged cars or V8's. I was just making a point that it's silly because it's perfectly legal to drive an s2000 (being an N/A'd 4 cyl).

Anyway back on topic.

Ok. Back on topic.

If your looking for that extra power, do what luder did - but keep in mind that it's probably the max you can do for alot of coin for so little improvement, almost just enough coin to go FI. Wait for your fulls, save up then go nuts!

[ludecrs]

Not bad at all.

Forgot to mention that was also with an Invidia Test Pipe.

[**Ghost**]

Ludercrs what'd you tune it with?

[VeYzZii]

Hmmm. Im going in for a tune in about a month. My mods are: Full exhaust from Liverpool Exhaust (extractors catback and mufflers), cold air intake, ported and polished head, and gonna tune it with an Apexi Neo. Oh and its headlight washers are shaved :P What should i be expecting at the wheels?

How exactly do you shave the headlight washers? It is something I want to do.

Let us know what your dyno reading is when you get it done

[nigoape1]

i had header,test pipe,muffler,ECU,injen intake and E85 fuel dyno test was around 155 KW at wheel

[dlai5552]

I've seen a car with buddyclub exhaust, injen intake and 5zigen headers make 145kw atw.
and wow! chris, I didnt know you use E85.

but remember, it all depends on the day you get a dyno.. some days better than others depending on weather and how your car is feeling on the day.
