s2k...

305coupe335i · 04-13-2008, 02:06 AM

so riding back home(highway) i run into an s2k. at first he wouldn't go. after i got him to finally budge, i gave him a +1 CL head start and pulled pretty hard on him. It was brutal. i love my 335 on the highway.

i'm starting to have problems running with people here.as a matter of fact its starting to irritate me. Z's and g37 don't even bother to play around. i bought this car to have fun but no wants to play

pikkashoe · 04-13-2008, 02:22 AM

Why would you even bother with an s2k. I love the car, I had one, but its not match for our cars. On the other hand, I raced a 911 GT3 tonight, damm thats a bad ass car, and he took me by 2 to 3 car lengths.

its deceiving. I feel quite normal till i look in my rear view and seen my opponent way the fuk back

roozie2001 · 04-13-2008, 05:31 AM

yah whats funny is i raced a s2k too. i was suprised how easily i destroyed him. i was gonna test things against a Trans Am but Houston traffic didnt allow it. The car feels so smooth and almost slow but its soooo damn fast. im enjoyin it.

An S2000 is by no means a monster in a straight line in stock form so I could see why he wouldn't want to run you. Add a turbo into the mix and he'll leave you with your ass in your hand.

I agree, my s2k that was turbo'd was very quick. You left him in the dust..WOW..that car has @ 2.0 4 Cyl 240 horse no torque

vs your 6 cyl twin turbo 3.0 300 hp. I would not brag about that.

That's weird. I bought the car so I could have fun with it and because I really like the car; not to race anyone on the street.

DTSociety · 04-13-2008, 01:37 PM

try racing a m5, m6, or even a e63 AMG. you'll be amazed by how easily it sling shots pass your car and keeps going 10 CL's+!!

Maybe not everyone has something to prove on the street.

Take your car to the drag strip, plenty of people that will run you.

Don't get me wrong I love Hondas. Even owned a s2000. But the S2000 is allmost 500 pound lighter.

We are currently installing a tuning a 2005 S2000 with a carb legal greddy turbo kit and AEM EMS. It should be around 300whp and street legal. I will ask the owner of the car if he wants to make a video against a moded 335 for fun.

Best Regards,

AJayE92 · 04-13-2008, 05:19 PM

300whp... wouldnt a modded 335 destroy that as well?

I'm not a huge fan of the Greddy kit, but at least he went with an EMS. 300whp is probably @10psi with that small turbo, which isn't too impressive for that car, but I guess being carb legal is important out in Cali. My old setup was making 350whp @7psi, but I guess it was a lot more efficient than the Greddy kit since I was running a larger turbo, external wastegate/dump, and a 3" downpipe/exhaust. Ahhhh... memories.

The Greddy turbo kit is way at the bottom when it comes to making power with a turbo setup on an s2000. Most cars will easily make 330-350whp with low boost and stock compression. Add a headgasket into the mix and you can hit 400whp+ without breaking a sweat. My old setup was only at 350whp and I am pretty confident that it would stomp a 335. Being that the car weighed 2800lbs, had 4.10 gears stock, and zero traction issues it was a pretty quick car.

Exactly

. The greddy carb legal kit is what my customer wants. If it were me I would slap on a gt35R turbo, add a thicker head gasket and go for it!

Is the Greddy setup the most reliable?
