Talking S2000 Turbo J32 Build Thread On J32A.Com

I saw this guys build thread on j32a.com. I figured I would share it since it's interesting and unique.

Well I guess its time to start a build thread since its finally starting to look like something. I purchased my 2002 S2000 in October 2009 and bought the J32a2 two weeks later. Both the car and motor were bought just for this swap. My main thought behind the idea was to have a s2000 with some much needed torque. FYI, the idea was before the HFP j37 Blue CR(the released pic anyway)! I will try to keep the updates not too far apart, but I only work on the car about once a month.

Construction of mounts




Motor and tranny together with temp. wooden adapter plate




with mounts tack together and ready to install in mock-up car



Manifold construction








Rev4 template of adapter with starter location

Cutting a knock out in the oil pan for the starter and checking fitment



Material for the final adapter plate


Adapter Plate, spacer, and flywheel




Starter shim and modded pan





Stepped dowel pins (thanks to turtle @ EVO IND) are an adapter plate's best friend




...going back in to continue the fab stuff




Meanwhile, the reason my S2000 was so cheap was it was wrecked at one time. Most of the damage was cosmetic, but needed to be fixed.









Back to project. Just a few pics of fit and clearance

I had to make a spacer like this so I had clearance between my drive plate and my rear seal cover So it would sit right compared to the cls drive plate. If not the 3.7 crank will not work in a auto.
It's stepped the same way just much smaller.

So a light RWD roadster with our power and torque? Wow subscribed. Probably the most interesting J32 build I've seen to date.
