    Tom and I can definitely give you a lot of pointers on how to make the brakes better and drop your consumable cost in the process.

    Instead of boosting it you could build it and keep it NA. 300whp isn't hard to achieve with a 12.5:1 piston/rod combo, valvetrain and cams on pump gas. The S2000 IM may be alittle restrictive but a ported RBC could take care of that. It would be super responsive out of corners and always have power when needed and the best part of all, even more different than it already is.

  • @Salvisol

    It's cool you guys want to be different, but you could have done a pretty thorough rebuild on the SR and no need for custom mounts, custom oil pan, BMW transmission. If you wanted to get fancy you could have built the SR with a SR20VE head, and maybe sent the block over to Mazworx or Jim Wolf to bore it out for larger than 2.0L displacement.

    Just thought I would clarify. Less than a week ago I got a quote to swap am sr20det into my car from an sr20 specific shop. For them to provide everything including labor, front mount, and clutch, ecu and upgraded tune, good for about 220-240whp was $4500. Also nobody buys ls crate motors. A full ls swap doing the labor yourself is around the same price and can be done easily a bit cheaper. Doesn't seem worth it to me. But still, my friends and I are swapping a k24 into an fc rx7. Even though I have an ls lying around. People are entranced by the k motors.

    I’d say build the k24 n/a and don’t go aero. See how the s chassis does on the track in stock aero form. Not a lot of that around. Every S chassis goes aero and you never really see how the chassis handles in stock aero form. Ppl think these cars are only good for drifting. Maybe if you show how good these cars can do in stock aero form, ppl may start to realize the capability of these cars.

      Matthew Yang they have rear grip issues inherent in the suspension design. thats why they are popular for drifting and not much else. an s15 subframe is a slight improvement they might try
