Absolutely genius, talk about thinking outside the box, literally. Nobody would’ve thought to put an air scoop on the freaking bottom of the car!!! GENIUS!!!!
Looking forward to Part 2 of the Airbox and the ID4Motion Dash. I would like to know how the CR Cluster would look like with 10k to rev, visibility, and accuracy of data. Thanks for your efforts.
Very interesting, I didn’t expect LHT to go NA, I’m all over the place 😂, I been debating supercharged or turbo. Well it looks like I’ll be doing soft top before anything. Mine’s ripped last week. Original 07 top. I’ll be calling LHT soon. Hopefully they can schedule me. Thanks for the content.
I love how well you know the S2000 which allows you to continuously improve it. Very intrigued by the cluster from ID4Motion, I will get it if you approve it!
@@LHTPerformance @ID4Motion can you please work with the best S2000 tuner in the country to test out the digital cluster you developed for the car?! 😍 Many of us S2000 owners would get it if LHT endorses it!!
He’s using his car to build new products and packages for his customers. Which is the whole point of a shop car. He can make or install another turbo kit at any time.
100% Amazing work!! I had the pleasure of buying a custom turbo EM1 in the past you all built. I live in Texas and tell everyone about the level of passion and attention you all put into Hondas. I also get lots of compliments on my LHT apperal. I miss my GPW S2000 so its time for another one! Thanks for stirring the pot lol.
Erm, no need. His explanations are kinda half baked and sometimes actually wrong, speaking as a fellow engineer. The results speak for themselves, no need to get bogged down in pseudoscience, just follow the method. From what we've seen of John's process, it should yield a good outcome. I personally think that a scoop that funnels air from the very top of the bumper opening over the top of the radiator would do more. Like a full width version of the Spoon style duct, or touring car style. Obviously avoiding the bonnet catch area, so it would be in two halves. One for the stock airbox opening, and one on the other side for an additional duct into the box, as in this video. The radiator air path would still be kept separate.
Somebody has to be the first. I like the experimental trial and error process of figuring out the details. I am in the process of looking for comfortable seats with manual sliding seat brackets for my truck. Unfortunately, most seats are powered, and I can't find seats and brackets for my vehicle because I am the only one who wants comfortable seats with manual controls. But I'm looking forward to the challenge of figuring out how to connect parts that were never designed to fit together. To me, the seats are too important to compromise on. When I get exactly the seats & brackets that I want with zero compromise all the effort and frustration will be worth it.
In my world, nothing beats the sound of a built N/A Honda motor. It's just perfection. My '98 Prelude has the H22A with AEM air intake, DC sports header, Mugen Cat-back, Skunk2 intake manifold, cheap ebay throttle body, underdrive pulleys and tuned with Hondata. The sound is addicting above 4500 rpm. I want to throw independent throttle bodies on it, but I can't push myself to spend that kind of money or cut a hole in my fiberglass hood.🫤
Hey John.👋 I'm always running late to the comments section (on vacation this time, so I have an excuse). This is definitely the kind of stuff that keeps true car guys up at night.😉 I love seeing your ideas go from ol' school CAD (cardboard aided design), to a fabricated working prototype, to a 3D printed piece.👍🏼 Really looking forward to seeing more testing and results of this setup. Also, the new Puddymod diff with the 4.44 final drive looks great and will definitely put a fair amount of pep in its step. Cheers buddy. See you soon.
Hey Mick ! Great to see you in person today. I feel like we know each other already, even if it’s mainly digital.lol. Thanks for lunch too , we really appreciate it
@@LHTPerformance You're quite welcome, John! Somehow, you and Esther are even more amazing in person! Thank you again for your hospitality and taking time out of your day to make my visit special. I had a great time hanging out with you guys. My cheeks are sore from smiling so much from all the great stories you two told.😊 Take care, my friend!
Great to see some more development in the NA s2000 field. Slightly concerned about what the scoop being on the underside might scrape up. Also seems like it might be a challenge for anybody with a splitter. Have seen the id4 dash site, very interested to see how it actually works.
So far everywhere I’ve gone it hasn’t touched. It’s about the same height as the lower part of the subframe. My biggest concern running over junk in the road. I’m
Love the Imola Orange theme on the ID4. I mean the Oem one is Imola anyway but it's nice to see it with differences themes. I've been eyeing the same cluster.
The thought of forced induction on an unbuilt engine scares the hell out of me. Ironic for a guy who bought a JRSC Prelude for sure. That said, this was enjoyable to watch. Hell all of your custom solutions are fun to watch. Looking forward to part 2.
A 3D printer to make the air duct would be interesting. You could also replicate air flow in Solidworks or Fusion360 to see what it would look like before printing. It'll also be a lighter weight material.
Curious to see the header design you have - looking over more recent test data it 'seems' like changing the cylinder pairing has been beneficial but you often get internet people arguing that what Honda designed 25 years ago is perfect and unbeatable. I'd like to think we've learned at least a little bit in that time to tweak things for at least a slight improvement.
We have a replacement available in the store. The problem is, any type of this kind of material breaks down over the years. Average is 10-15years depending on climate. That’s not too bad.
yeah, i been looking at that dash for a while now. I like having the idea of keeping track of the AFR, coolant temp number, and etc, without having all these gauges is a big plus
We’re going to do the package to a friends cars to verify it’s exactly as I wanted and the results are confirmed. Plus get an idea if we can produce it. Then it will be something we’ll offer.
have to keep in mind that something in a car (especially the main gauge cluster) needs to be able to tolerate very cold and very hot temps without any issues - I'm not sure an OLED would be a good option. For something that complex and low-production numbers we kind of have to just accept niche pricing.
Without LHT, there would be no trusted aftermarket support for the s2000 community to keep these machines alive!
🙏
Congratulations on 70k subscribers!!!
Thanks Seth ! I appreciate it.
Love the wind tunnel testing 🤣 I don’t even have a S2000 but enjoy watching the quality of work you guys do.
lol. Wait while you see Part 2 😉
I'm loving the looks of this project. Can't wait for Part II.
Absolutely genius, talk about thinking outside the box, literally. Nobody would’ve thought to put an air scoop on the freaking bottom of the car!!! GENIUS!!!!
Best wheels ever for a S2000!!! The bronze never gets old!!
That puddy mod diff looks nice!!!
Love to see you engineering things and working on improvements.
I enjoy watching the videos where you guys are always trying something new and cool to see how it works.

This makes my mind go crazy and come up with amazing ideas like this. Great work super inspired by LHT

brilliant idea with that scoop been watching some of your videos you guy do awesome work
I'm normally on board with na but you're turbo setup was too fkn sick John
He’s using his car to build new products and packages for his customers. Which is the whole point of a shop car. He can make or install another turbo kit at any time.
@@typedrew That’s true. I always like to first hand what works and what doesn’t. There will be another turbo kit. 400 on these cars is simply awesome.
@@typedrew am I not allowed to love the perfectly designed turbo setup John designed himself?
Very inventive work with the air box, looking forward to seeing the results 👍👍.
I definitely like this kind of thing.
Quinn from The Slip Angle got a nice NA build on his AP1
Looking forward to seeing the results even though I couldn’t run the same setup here in California. This place sucks.

Thanks for the kind words. The EM1 is a great car and very useful. The S2000 is a great second car.
It would be cool to collab with Jason from Engineering Explained to get all scientific with the new air scoop

Thanks. Part 2 is up.
Love the Imola Orange theme on the ID4. I mean the Oem one is Imola anyway but it's nice to see it with differences themes. I've been eyeing the same cluster.
Yes, it looks a nice piece but expensive. People need to know how good it is before shelling out the cash. Please tag them in our posts.

The F22C is maxed out and I'd like to see LHT develop a K-series swap with internals and tuning for an 8200rpm redline.
Cool build john!
The LHT end of video thing was cool, but I want to hear a S2000 engine sound with it.
Watching with great interest. I want my 08 OEM Plus.
Can't wait for the next video on this. 🙂🙂🙂
I would have loved to see how it coped on track with rubbing and the size of the oil cooler :)
We remove the rubber fender strips here in the midwest, they trap moisture and salt in there and boom, rust.
Need a karcepts emanage str tune replacement for us AP1 guys
Please I have no mid range

Why are you using a Bosch MS 6.4 EVO in the title screen? Surely a $14000 ECU is a wee bit overkill for this application
lol. I’m running a stock ecu. That was just for the thumbnail as it’s easily recognizable
I was over here scratching my head like “Well that’s one way to increase the value of the car” 🤣
I like the idea of a scoop but feel like a NACA duct might be better.
I think would be cool to develop something to replace foam in the shift tunnel.
We have a replacement available in the store. The problem is, any type of this kind of material breaks down over the years. Average is 10-15years depending on climate. That’s not too bad.
Can't wait for episode 2 on this NA set up... is there plans to offer a turbo kit from you guys?
Love to see more NA improvements. Curious how far you’ll take it
Maybe cam shafts and intake manifold port work for stage 2?
I’ve not found a cam like in the S2000. The comprise is not worth it to me.
wow 22k miles still!
Very curious to see that new aftermarket digital dash
I’m hoping Id4motion will work with us. I’d love to show it.
@@LHTPerformance it would be cool to see people retrofit it to other applications, like they do with the s2000 oem cluster
yeah, i been looking at that dash for a while now. I like having the idea of keeping track of the AFR, coolant temp number, and etc, without having all these gauges is a big plus
Have you seen the K-Series to VW DSG trans adapter kit? I'd like to see you do a project with that kit.
I haven’t seen one complete and working yet. I would love one though.
Are you taking appointments to have this modification done to customer cars?
We’re going to do the package to a friends cars to verify it’s exactly as I wanted and the results are confirmed. Plus get an idea if we can produce it. Then it will be something we’ll offer.
An analog tach on an s2k would be cool
Would you be able to sell the STL file of the duct?
Can you offer that intake scoop on your website??
It maybe something we’ll offer once fully tested. We have it on 2 cars right now.

Is there an upgraded foam yet? Put OEM back in, fooled me twice😢
We have a replacement foam to install. That one lasted 15 years.

Has someone really tested the urge to design products? They sell themselves as the "only S2K shop" with cams, headers, exhaust, and heads.
I heard bad things about the company ID4 and at that price point it should of been an oled.
