damn...didn't someone here just buy one? I love the s2k...lack of low end tq was the only thing that turned me off. Maybe 2.2 will do the trick..Beautiful car; inside and out...can't wait to see how these changes play out.

 

zeroday,
yea DBOX picked up a used s2k. You are right. They are saying the redline will be a bit lower but the engine will pick up a bit more trq down low. Let's see. They should beef up the internals and drop the 2.4L block into it

 

nothing a comptech SC won't fix. i'm really thinking about getting the SC for the s2000... but scared i'd be dead on the side of the road somewhere. then again i want it for the cl-s also. sure as hell can't do it to both...

as far as them saying ''updated instrumentation'' for 04...i don't want that. F1 style is the shit.

 

dbox

if u can only get 1 blower than get it on the s2k, its rwd and it will handle the power better. theres only soo much power u can put to a fwd drive car w/o having traction issues n shit.

 

i agree

 

Honestly, don't be scared at all of the comptech SC. I drove an s2k w/ it and was not all that impressed. It's basically like driving a corvette w/ less tq still. It's a fun car but nothing BLAZINGLY fast or anything you should be scared of. Personally i'd save a few bucks and go w/ the vortech unit.

 

totally!

 

the comptech unit is the vortech

 

TypeR,
Eaton doesn't make a unit for the s2k?

 

i'd rather have a more exciting exterior than .2 L, we'll see, i hope they aren't planning another ten year run before they update it.

 

Both Vortech and Comptech have blowers for the S2K

 

so no word on the coupe?

 

i wouldnt even bother wasting my money on a comptech or a vortech blower for the s2k. They are both centrifugal blowers w/most of the power gained up top. The s2k needs the help in the lower-mid range of the powerband. If I were to drop a few g's on the s2k it would definitely be turbo. Someone needs to produce a twin screw supercharger kit for the s2k. Positive displacment ownz.

 

no difference at all? All the #'s i've seen show the vortech putting down more power, different boost settings or what?

 

WOW, great news...cant wait to see how much torque is gained/interior upgrades...i may seriously look into this car next year, maby around this time, before the 05 comes out cause you will prob be able to get it for a good price then. Im just dreading seeing the dealers markup on the 04's when it comes out.

 

I doubt the 200 cc increase in displacement will the the "torque trick". So torque will go up from 153 to 167 let's say. And let's say it will peak at lower rpm than the current 7500. Say 6800 rpm. Big deal!

The Boxster with 2.7 liters and almost 200 pounds of torque feels it's crying for more. You get in the Boxster S and it's just...adequate with torque numbers of a CLS. Give me a break Honda. Where is the 3 liter V6?

 

what! the comptech is cheaper than the vortech and i keep warranty. and in a small ass car 350hp is pretty damn blazingly fast to me. my shit goes sideways in between shifts now. you guys are not giving the s2000 enough credit.

 

vortech does have higher boost. and there are other differences. people on s2ki have had problems with the vortech but not 1 problem mentioned with the comptech. thats why i'd go comptech(and warranty).

they are pretty different.

 

take a look at all the dynoplots of the vortech and comptech supercharger kits. they both have shit hp gains in the mid and low range. All the gains are way up top. There is a good peak hp gain at the end but the powerband sucks balls.

 

wtf! we are talking about a high reving 9k redline engine here. since when has torque been hondas game? once that cars hits vtech....who the fuck needs torque?

 

Whoever wants to win the race...

 

yes, i know its a high revving motor. but wouldnt it be nicer to have a nice linear powerband from 4500 all the way to the 9k redline? That's why in my personal opinion turbo would be the way to go. Don't think I'm dissin the s2k. I have this in my garage too.


If there was gonna be any type of forcefeeding going on under my hood it'd be a turbo.

 

not ALWAYS true. how do you explain my civic hatch (all motor, gsr engine si tranny and bolt ons) beating z28's and mustangs ALL DAY. i ran a 13.2 all motor...

 

i got your point, i'd rather have a turbo also but... i'd also like to keep my warranty. i think the car is plenty quick as is so i'm sure i'll be in love with the s/c. a friend of mine who turbo-ed the is300 i posted said he could do one for my s2000...i'd do it but since i bought an extended warranty i won't. is there anyway i could get the warranty money back? if so, i would turbo it...

 

Ah, I see where you're coming from. I wish comptech woulda made the s2k supercharger similar to the cl type S supercharger. Something w/positive displacement. If you're worried about warranty stuff and can't get the money back then the comptech would definitely be the way to go for you. I've driven both a comptech and a vortech s2k and they both pull pretty good. The only thing that disappointed me was right when the car would start pulling crazy it was time to shift. Full boost on both kits felt like it came on right about 7500rpm. After 7500 the cars pull like a mofo tho.

 

Where is the 3 liter V6? Thankfully, not in the S2000. Yes, the torque and hp would be nice...but it would totally screw the handling. Besides, I think the small displacement high revving niche is kinda cool.

 

With iVtec, I'm sure honda can squeez a little more torque than we think with 0.2 liter increase.... I actually much rather they just keep it the same, and change/update styling and handling... I think all the engineering/design done to this car is already very well rounded, I wouldn't want anything to be scraficed in order to just a little more torque. JIMO.

btw, I'm currently shopping for a 01 or 02 myself...

 

Just drop the compression by 1.5 points on the 2.2 liter and turbocharge it... it will be insane!!
