Having driven the white K20C swapped S2000 on the left, I can say its easily the best S2000 I've ever driven (I've owned/driven many many different S2Ks). The K20C is so incredibly smooth in this chassis, and the SOS build quality on this kit makes it feel like the car came with the motor from factory. Hoping to start the same swap on our AP2 soon 🙏
@@Shiftlinkage101everything together will cost $15000. Also gear ratios don’t match due to too much torque. Tranny won’t hold either. Dumb choice for those who want swap.

Hasport orders bushings by the thousands. It’s unlikely we would make something to replace another company‘s urethane. I just can’t see selling 100 of them let alone 2000 of them.
Why do a type r swap when a stock F20/22 engine that is turbocharged can handle over 700whp? Also, the s2000 diff and trans is weak so the type r engine that has high torque at low rpm will destroy the drivetrain. Has anyone been able to make the s2000 transmission stronger and what’s the torque rating?
I agree. I owned an ap1 for about 9 years. The F20 is an amazing engine. The only reason I can come up with why you would want to K20C swap the s2k would be factory turbo reliability. As for the last part of your comment, you would have to do something about the trans and rear end of the "700whp" way before you did the factory K20C. 700whp is going to be pushing way more torque than the stock K20C's at 295 ft/lbs.
Maybe. The S2000 has all the EVAP sensors the ecu is looking for. It might be easier to do it with the K20C4 from the Accord. I’m not sure if the Bosch ECU from the Type R is looking for Bosch sensors or the ones the are used on the S2K.
They now sell it as a crate motor well its made for race applications/off-highway use it says to check with your local laws to see if it violates any if it doesnt you should be good. Speak to a lawer and if you get all emissions and controls in checked and certified it should be legal for public road applications if it passes everything

On the exhaust side? The K24Z on the intake is supposedly the best flowing of all K series heads according to Luke from 4Piston. I'd be surprised if the K24Z isn't better on the exhaust side too. The K20C has deliberately small tumble ports with a step to aid turbo spool-up like most modern turbo engines AFAIK, I'd assume those small ports for fast spool-up are also found on the exhaust side. It's just the nature of a modern factory turbo engine that is designed to have minimal turbo lag, as opposed to a factory naturally aspirated engine that is designed to move lots of air I guess.

Thanks for sharing
Excuse me sir , have you seen the price on that motor🤦🏾♂️.
Considering a "good" condition B16/B18 engine still runs you almost 4 grand online, I don't think the price of a brand new K20C is that bad at $6,800.

When is the next Honda fit k swap video dropping ?
Not soon enough! Gotta get through some wiring.
@@VTECAcademy Hoping to see some engine FITment tests too!
Ahhhh, we see what you did there!

Only missing an adaptig plate for a DCT gearbox
SOMETIME i wonder if going K24 was a mistake when for 1-2k more i could have gon Type R
I'd rather have the NA engine than a turbo ❤
K24>k20c1
I want to do this to mine but no one in Idaho does it
Awesomeness. How about a driving review?
It drives incredible, honestly. It's shockingly good for a swapped car.
When's it getting done for a DC2-R?
Do you guys plan to make a step by step to follow when swapping the k20c for s2000? Also are they making an adapter kit for the k20c to the CD009?
Those are questions for Science of Speed.
a crate k20c1 whoa
Will you make mounts and adapter plate for E30 ...i know its possible for k24 but what about K20c1 tks
Doesn’t kpower industries already do that?
CAN YOU GUYS MAKE BUSHES FOR ESP'S MOTOR MOUNTS PLEASE. ESP WENT ROGUE AND DISAPPEARED I NEED NEW POLY BUSHES ASAP.

pour your own urethane into the shell
The only way i see this swap justified is if you blow the f20, the f20/f22 can already handle boost
Liked 👍 👍 👍 👍
Makes me wamt to sell the k24 out of my s2000 and go this route.
Why?
You can make more power on the engine you already have.
Evasive did it better :p
2jz swap it and put no shit 2jz cover lol
Sounds really expensive!
Same thing I said , definitely well over $15k for 350hp . U can get that from the SOS turbo kit on the stock motor
@@bighomieJ5X definitely can I’d rather stick with the stock motor for all that money. Shit 15 racks into a s2 should be a street beast.
@@RiQWitDaBliQ my point exzactly 💯
My f22c1 blew on my s2k... no way ill pay 16k for a swap though. I'll take a stock motor or a k swap for the price
Yeah K swap it.
Cost about 16k to purchased and install this on your own. F series still cheaper, K swap cheaper, Ls even Cheaper
I would do a K24A personally.
How many AP1 Rs are going to go into the woods backwards?

stock reliability.. and way more aftermarket thats cheaper
@@aoescoolyou're spending a pretty penny to actually do this swap though
Does HPD offer the factory ECU along with the engine? I noticed others have used Motec, but OEM is best
Not the OEM one. There is some other option they are using. Contact Science of Speed for more details.
Hi would you guys consider having a support with the DC5 Chassis?
Have to do this at some point.. be one of first in the UK. Brian was great meeting you at santa pod.. all the best from the UK
K20c’s are nice live mine! That s2000 looks like a beast!
Good bye to trans internals. Oe trans parts for s2000s are hard to come by
I think the next step is to make an adapter so you can run the BMW transmission with BMW rear end
@@VTECAcademy time to just buy a bmw and swap the k20 in
Can you do one for a RSX with a new Type R K20C engine?
i think they did a couple of videos couple years back test fitting the engine in a rsx.. check the vid history
Beautiful!
I believe HPD said the crate engine is to be only used for track. Is that still the case?
@TigrisPhotosynthesis well it seems a grey area no real laws accept the epa trying to make there own laws
They have changed their policy somewhat. That may still be the policy if you buy it direct.
They need to make this car!!! Honda would be rolling then. But why not use a k24?
I'd like to see the new J35Y8 quad cam engine in an AP2 with a turbo or two...
Start some k20c ep3 mounts
thats awesome. would these fit RHD cars?
can this technically be bar'd?
Maybe. The S2000 has all the EVAP sensors the ecu is looking for. It might be easier to do it with the K20C4 from the Accord. I’m not sure if the Bosch ECU from the Type R is looking for Bosch sensors or the ones the are used on the S2K.
@@VTECAcademy thanks! i appreciate the reply

I don't have a shell to put my engine in yet but I'll take a set of them :D haha I think this will be a good use for that engine I have.
Wow you have a engine congratulations
Other mount kit will be coming.

Regardless of if I’m over emphasizing or not your comment wasn’t needed.
I wasn’t talking to you, at you or about you .
It’d be interesting to know what has better flow for an integrated exhaust, the k20c or the k24z.
I'd like to know k24z headflow
On the exhaust side? The K24Z on the intake is supposedly the best flowing of all K series heads according to Luke from 4Piston. I'd be surprised if the K24Z isn't better on the exhaust side too. The K20C has deliberately small tumble ports with a step to aid turbo spool-up like most modern turbo engines AFAIK, I'd assume those small ports for fast spool-up are also found on the exhaust side. It's just the nature of a modern factory turbo engine that is designed to have minimal turbo lag, as opposed to a factory naturally aspirated engine that is designed to move lots of air I guess.
How many grand are we talking about?
