Shovels Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I know it's an S2000, but this is a seriously tempting way to get a car tuned. Last year my mate decided to get his S2000 tuned. Except for one big difference. He shipped his car over to the states. They used a GT30 @ 22psi for this run (see image) with totally stock engine, exhaust, etc. The only thing they did use was part race fuel. They've got loads left to do including a race engine, bigger torbo, etc. Final Specs Engine: http://www.laskeyracing.com/shop/s2000.htm Turbo: precision gt35 Suspension: kw3 coilovers Exhaust: Custom manifold t1r 70mm sparrow exhaust with megan test pipe Wheels/Drive: Custom rear diff, Later spec S2000 alloys They're aiming for around 600-650 RWHP with it all done The total cost including shipping is way less than it would cost over here in the UK to get a car to the similar/same spec. Thought I'd post up a couple of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Nice. He's not going to be getting 500rwhp in the UK though with our fuel and more substantial equines though. Wasn't TerryS running a GT35 on his black Supra and making rather less than 500rwhp? And that's with 3000cc of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 An s2000 with that power . How does it work with the VTEC system ? or does that get binned ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkirby Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 mate of mine had a very similar spec car, main problem was no torque and the turbo was laggy on that engine, which looks like your mates is as well as its not making its stock power with the turbo until 5000 revs!! i would guess a supra with similar turbo will be long gone by then brave of him to ship it to the usa, i know alot of the skyline guys are shipping theres to new zealand at the moment to have work done!!

Shovels Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 why do I care if you are a web developer or not... I said and here is my quote Just one small point before leaving all this behind. What would I gain by putting a link to another company unless I was involved in some way - sure, if I had just joined the forum then that would look mighty suspicious, but I've been a member for nearly three years (please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to prove how long I've been a member for)... and plus if i was 'trying' to advertise, don't you think I would be better off posting this on an S2000 forum?? You can clearly see by your flippent remark 'what do I care' that you're not thinking before you post - My point about being a web developer is for no other point than to highlight the fact I have nothing to do with this or any tuning company, therefore how would I gain from the info I posted up. Forums are about sharing information - Do you jump on people whenever they post a link making subtle remarks that they're trying to advertise? I have to say that if you've got nothing better to do than jump on people as soon as they make a post then maybe you're better off posting nothing at all unless it's constructive! If a moderator wants me/or feels the need to remove the link, please do. Jake - Totally agree, the fuel is going to make a big difference.

If a moderator wants me/or feels the need to remove the link, please do. Jake - Totally agree, the fuel is going to make a big difference. First - do I know you? No, so you saying you are a web developer means nothing. Second - I was not trying to be subtle (in any way or form), I was trying to say that your original post SEEMED (or could be perceived to be) to be advertising. Third - what does the time period you have been on here for have anything to do with this? Fourth - no, I dont just jump on people when they post up links. However I do become a little suspicious when carefully thought out posts (detailing company details and how their costs are so much better than the UK costs) are posted. PS.

Guest rallsy707 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 OOOOh well i do hope my great mate shovels has not opened a can of worms here, I asked him to post something as it always nice to get feedback from other people and like Shovels stated above 'Forums are about sharing information' so i hope you guys do not mind. Well I am an enthusiast of the supra, and even stayed the weekend with MkIV supra at jae, where my S2000 even made it into your 2007 calender, I have always liked the supra but have to confess, i have little knowledge of them, apart from some wopping numbers they can put down Jake to answer your question first, yeah the fuel is a problem when it gets back to the uk, and thus is an unknown part of the build/project and can only wait for that for when its back in a month. So the main goal is to hit the 650 whp at the moment while its in the states and then see what happens over here in the uk with our fuel. State side, guys are using the gt35 on the S and making even bigger numbers than i am hoping for, and the only thing i can answer to your 3000cc, is that there is currently a 2jz swap gone into a S, and he is fallin on 450 whp with the gt35, i am no expert, so i am not going to comment, and i will find out more and update. Mkirby.. Stock power at 5000 rpms, at least that is better than making it at 8000 range as on a stock s2000 motor? roughly stock whp on an S2000 is 188-191 whp, when mine dyno'd it was 181 whp and i did not think that was to bad on a 125k stock engine. And once the new engine is in the car, we are hoping to move the rev range to 10,200 rpm, also the new Gt35 by precision that has just been delivered, and is not the same as the old gt35 , which itself is still very new, is supposed to cut down on the lag, dont ask me how, something to do with the wheel , confused join the club haha Vtec, well its still there, just not as noticeable as it is in N/A vtec engine, however the sound is still there when it does go into vtec Supra Dori , yes you are right it is very tight, but this is a project, I will be adding other things to help with the stability, but like modding any car, they always change. Once again I hope you did not mind, shovels and myself sharing this info, and more than welcome to visit the dyno day when its back for its first Uk tune, i am trying to get Shovels to get his done aswell (keep on wed developing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sounds like an amazing build, will be very scary to drive though i would guess. However, regardless of whether the fuel is the same or not i don't think you will get anywhere near those figures over here. Figures from the US always seem to be optimistic at best. Anything over 350hp in one of those is going to be nuts though. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Martin, Yeh not too bad thanks. Got an additional 8 month old son now who is taking up most of my time. The Soop is off the road with a cracked rad. Hopefully see you up at JAE this year.

Guest Dokkie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My Supra tuner in Holland is building my S2000 turbo. Why go to the US when you have a very good tuner around the corner? (Suprasport in Haarlem, Netherlands) I'm also running a GT3076R Precision turbo, it's absolutely wonderfull. It spools up like crazy and goes all the way to 9300rpm, constantly building power. Currently running on normal gas, 1 bar. The second set of injectors are going to be running on race gas with a seperate tank @ 1,5 bar.

Good luck with the build. When are you expecting it back? Would be good to see the finished project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dokkie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Dokkie, that's a sweet looking car you've got there. IMHO the S2K's have always looked really good stock(ish). Good luck with the build. When are you expecting it back? Would be good to see the finished project. I'm actually test driving it right now. We want to see if everything's reliable before we up the boost and use race gas. Pretty soon we found out that the wastegate isn't doing it's job well, the car is overboosting. So we're installing a TIAL 44 on thursday to see if that solves that problem. Oil temperature seems to be ok untill now but we'll see once I test it on the nurburgring in Germany. The oil cooler kit is ready to be installed but we're waiting to see if it's neccessary or not. And then the Bling factor.... blinging it up with a chromed valve cover coming in today. The car is F####ing fast, you'd almost piss your pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott =op Hello scotster Just to confirm the fuel issue thing, the numbers will be posible over here, S/C S2000 currently tuned by the same american guy on uk soil are putting 427 whp, (and 5 other in the 360-400 whp mark) on normal everyday pump gas, infact i think its 99 ron if i recall from the last dyno day. There is also another S2000 turbo'd with greedy and he is putting down just short of the 400 figure aswell. Dokkie I have been reading yurarts, his project was started after i sent mine to the USA, his set up is very good, however i know he was having issuses with boost crep etc but as i see he has gone down the route of the 44mm, which many advised him on. His set up is slightly different due to him having a left hooker, so he manifold is alot different. But i am waiting for the outcome should be impressive with his little bit of extra I might drop him a line see how things go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while cause I've had to put the Soop on the back-burner whilst I sorted out house, family, etc. Hopefully going to be resurecting it soon. How's the exhibition work going?

The turbo seemed to be 'too' efficient... strange. the 38 was just too small. If the TIAL 44 fixes the problem we're moving on and installing the gas tank for C16 Once all is installed we'll get Dimitri's ass over here and finetune it on the dyno.
