S2000 V8 LS1

[Ajkeepdreaming]

best of both worlds right their

[psychdoggg]

Lots of specs being passed around about the performance.. Any mods to the engine bay to get it in there?

[OTTODDROCK]

The handling of the S2000 is ruined.Now have to put a very big brick under the gas pedal to maintain the handling.........I love this monster

[OTTODDROCK]

Damn,,,,,,That's a machine gun on wheels.Better yet it looks like a stock s2000.If you silence that car it would be the perfect sleeper/assasin.lol,,,I'd be hunting ferrari's and lambos

[AlphaJohnson47]

@OTTODDROCK This car, even with the LS1 would still get fucked up by most any Ferrari or Lamborghini.

[badassmemo]

@AlphaJohnson47 wrong!!!,that car is clearly cammed a cammed and head LS1 easily makes over 500hp...500+hp s2000 will shit on a f360 or a F430...

[AlphaJohnson47]

@badassmemo I want to see it.

[OTTODDROCK]

@AlphaJohnson47 maybe true , but u wont have to spend 200 000

[AlphaJohnson47]

@OTTODDROCK You're correct there

[yonutfilip]

@OTTODDROCK

LP 670 SV will piece on this... but i doo still fucking love this S2000, like you said, perfect sleeper...

[MrLagoss]

Stock s2000 is 49front / 51rear , but now its 50/50 with the 93lbs !! And on the road its so economic on gas !!!

[MrLagoss]

Sixt9coug have totaly reason , and my swap dont have A/C , p/s pump !! So i have 93lbs mora than f20c swap !!

[flawlessfoose]

id rather have the original motor and turbo it! This just isnt right

[wubba52]

pretty cool, but there goes the awesome 9k red line (its an ap1) and mid front engine w/ 50/50 weight distribution.. why not just supercharge it.. 

[patrickfight1]

Sweet baby jesus.

[WrxStiRwd]

10 30 REPPPPP , sick swap

[cskater18]

now theres a honda i would drive

[kokolistic]

i can hear a supercharger

[geksii]

power to weight ratio FTW!

[drkhancock14]

I wanna know what the gas mileage is on that bad boy. I know someone with an LS1 engine in an older tahoe who gets like 20 something mpgs. That s2000 weighs half as much so it's gotta be over 30.

[drkhancock14]

Was that a bird? Or a plane? Or a rocket? No it's an LS powered S2000! 3...2...1...Lift Off!

[DragonNinja06]

Good god.......

[JTMarin1533]

That.... is fuckin' sick!

[MrLivePositive8]

Whoa, nice.

[lrobergedrift]

Met toi un sr lol

[MarcAndAllison]

You can easily get the same horsepower out of the stock motor and still retain the perfect balance of the car. It's badass, sure, if you just wanna go in a strait line, but the incredible handling of the S2000 is ruined.

[McFly2015AD]

@MarcAndAllison With turbo sure but if you ever get the chance to drive a NA V8 one thing you will notice is that it has huge torque at every RPM, that's why all the Formula Drift guys do V8 swaps. With small displacement + turbo there's just no torque on the low end.

[MarcAndAllison]

@McFly2015AD like I said, it's badass, but this was designed as a track car, not a drag car. If you've ever driven an S on a track, you understand what a technological masterpiece the S2000 is, and what a waste of the other high performance qualities of the car this is. I'd never do this to mine in a million years, but, to each his own.

[roberth214]

@MarcAndAllison what? You don't like V8s? Okay there. To each his own. How do you know he doesn't track it? What you can't track a V8? Lollll...

[MarcAndAllison]

@McFly2015AD Besides, most turbo S2000's in the 400 -500hp range are putting down 275-300 tq. On a stock engine, with few other upgrades. Higher HP than an LS1, and not far behind in TQ. Best of all, they're keeping the integrity of a light weight track car intact.

[sixt9coug]

@MarcAndAllison

It's fine that you don't care for the V8, but "not far behind in TQ"? The Stock LS1 makes significantly more torque than the turbo F20C you quoted. HP is fun but torque is not to be underestimated at all.

[MarcAndAllison]

@sixt9coug The F20C made Wards' top 10 engines 4 years in a row. The S2000, with badass stock engine made Car and Driver's list of "10 cars you must drive before you die", not the corvette, camero, or anything else with an ls1. Like I said, the ls1 is badass, But so is the F20C, especially turbo'd. I'm just not willing to trade 150 horsepower, reliablilty, gas mileage, and 9000 rpms......so I can say I have a heavier car, a v8, and 80 more lbf-ft of torque.

[MarcAndAllison]

@MarcAndAllison F T W

[sixt9coug]

@MarcAndAllison

The LS1 was also named one of the 10 best engines too so it's not a bad engine at all.

Define reliability though. The LS1 is hardly unreliable, it can make more than 500hp reliably and the fact that a Corvette with an LSX/T56 can get up to about 28mpg in a heavier car, I would imagine that the lighter S2000 might even get better mileage with the V8 than the F20C. That 9000rpm redline also brings 4K+ rpms on the freeway while cruising. LS1+T56 is maybe 1500rpm.

[sixt9coug]

@MarcAndAllison

BTW, the F20C is around 325 lbs. LS1 is 420lbs. It's less than a 100lbs gain and the total vehicle weight gain with the trans (T56s are heavy), headers and all is around 165 lbs.

Not terrible at all. Adding a turbo would add weight too so an S2000 won't maintain a 50/50 weight distribution when you add a turbo, intercooler, and all the piping up front.

The S2000 is a fun car, but god there's NO torque. Yes, I've driven both S2000s and Corvettes to compare.

[CaptainKnuck]

thats how i get out the mcdonalds drive thru

[jbe72493]

Man thats even badder than a LSx powered 240SX, I think the LSx series has actually been graced by the touch of god himself

[CHVPACABRA]

Vin Diesel even puts a little bit of muscle into his imports

[problem212]

gotta love that cold start

[DustinDeSimone]

a little too close for comfort to the yellow car dont u think haha

[TheVTBROSEPH]

sick exit, you should cam that bitch.

[Ximon1986]

Engine weight:

F20C: 209kg

LS1: 284kg

[poloboy108]

My butthole just puckered...

[skwurl09]

@poloboy108 mine did too i involuntarily smiled and moaned "holy shit"

[tomnguyen717]

that is sick!!

[TheSl2vue]

got 2 love the small block chevy!

[magnumsrt10]

I WANT ONE!!!!!! PLEASEEE!!!!!

[homeboyskilletfresh]

Shit krazy

[2slick35]

damn! that s2000 was out of control fast!

[GAMERX108]

dam that shit sounds mean can i has specs?

[BlackandYellow87]

THE END GOT ME SO HORNY 

[drifter4samp]

wtf is this sped up or something? :D haha insane car :D

[RobertMoua]

Nice nice!

[MrLagoss]

Ls3 / t56 / cusco two way / 3in exaust / hptuner / 430hp !!!

[mrbigtian]

what's the noise at 0:16? 

[luked1964]

I love it. kudos

[mrbigtian]

what is v8 LS1???

[jvanegas14]

@mrbigtian a chevy "big" block. good engine.

[mrbigtian]

@jvanegas14 holy shit, so this guy put a chevy v8 in this little s2k? wow.

[jvanegas14]

@mrbigtian yeah. was a good transplant though imo. Saw a friend who put an ls7 in his datsun 240....that was much worse than this. you need lots of skill to fit an engine like that in a small car. the ls1 isn't much bigger than the f20, infact, it's a litle shorter, but much heavier. I would have stayed with the stock though. Love the way it goes all the way up to 9000 rpm!

[mrbigtian]

@jvanegas14 this is completely madness...lol

[doc7000]

@jvanegas14

The LS1 is stated to weigh in at close to 500 pounds, the LS7 450 pounds and the engines are the same size.....

[luked1964]

@mrbigtian American.

[krqliczek]

@mrbigtian V8 engine from Corvette.

[ryosvet]

Its there car..... im not guna hate... but Why cant they just keep there V8 in there chevy and not the honda shell..

[lightblockade]

HAWT. DAM.

[purpledrank1337]

Everyone who says this is fucking up the weight dist. You are a moron, I am by no means an american muscle fan, but the weight of both motors is relatively the same. Do some research and educate yourselves. Instead of making your self look like an ignorant asshat.

[MarcAndAllison]

@purpledrank1337 You're wrong, "relatively the same", is not, the same. not to mention. I wouldn't do this to mine in a million years.

[MarcAndAllison]

@purpledrank1337 The F20C weighs 326lbs, and the LS1 weighs 525lbs genius. What a waste of a great car.

[mat355]

@MarcAndAllison wtf I weighted a fully dressed ls1 (but no flywheel) at 446lbs.

Still heavier than the F20 but your "525lbs" is the old gen1 small block's weight.

too bad there's a lot of fucked up info on engines weight on the internet..

[N4CR5]

@MarcAndAllison

An extra passenger for 3x the torque?

Sure balance will be a little out but can always move a few things into the boot and a bit of weight if it's really needed.

[nikolaiw12]

gotta get rid of those uglu ass rims

[oxidenx]

J'aime ton video ! je suis en plein en swap LSx , sa me donne juste encore plus hate d,avoir terminé le swap !

[cyz44]

[akueri300]

Ｓ２０００はかっちょえぇ～！！

[pdpdrummerboi]

@BadEffect138 lmao!!! Thats exactly what i was lookin like too! I was like "really?!" Then I went 8-O when I seen it take off like that. lol!

[JxPhan]

You see it now and.....now you dont

[Dem0nz890]

i woulda laughed so fucking hard if he hit that parked yellow car...

[juicetcs]

i neeed to see more of this beast

[juicetcs]

hoooooly shit!



[ayala114]

@juicetcs lmao exactly what i said

[Ericsson787]

oh my god. im in love. how much did that cost you to do the motor swap and all?

[ChaosDA9]

That's what happens when japanese and american come together.. It makes for a good time.

[sparkskater12]

niceeeee

[MattHutzell]

I wanted to hate this. I really did. But I love it. ;;

[RotaryRobBrap]

@MattHutzell I felt the same way

[lhungryhappysleepy]

pretty much no difference in weight, and a whole hell of a lot more torque!!!

[killabaka]

nice. now it has torque!!!!

[kushinism]

I disliked this video cause you could have made more power with the original motor.

[frestkd]

@kushinism How much would it cost compared to just swapping to a LS1/LS2/LS3/LS6/LS7 with a T56 trans? You realize the F20/F22 have very high compression ratio so the pistons need to changed out to a lower compression ones. That in it self would cost few grand to do let alone buying a turbo or supercharger kits.

[ohyeahbustedyeah]

@kushinism

Who cares about more power?

This thing gives the S2000 what it badly needs : TORQUE

[MetalicB0x]

this is what happens when you replace your piece of shit wanna be sports car vetch 4, with a motor :O Hondas look cool when they have engines in them.

[kushinism]

@MetalicB0x Its vtec and how does swapping the engine make it look cool? Do you mean faster? This is what happens when you don't go to school.

[Tupples1]

nice way to fuck up a honda by puting that trash in it.

[Despised17]

@Tupples1 your stupid

[MrLagoss]

This video was filmed by one of 62 owners of s2000 present at an annual meeting, to have known that this video would reach(affect) 450 000 visits, I would have made a Beautiful presentation(display) of my car!

But with my new project V10 srt-10, me promises you a video quality assembly(editing) and Road makes out a will seen by the inside of the new automobile which represents SeriousSwap drift team !!

[1981gMachine]

Yeah! A S2000 with more torque then horsepower +1

[AnnoyingWhiteMan]

so werid to here that sound out of an s2k

[slayerdearly]

coolest Honda ever

[Prank6767]

Now that's a real car! i would suck its cock if it had one...

[RTdeluxe]

@Prank6767 thats just... well thatts just great.

[trbossdoggy]

omgeezus :D

[RaptorV1USA]

hmmm no way in hell the LS is the same weight as the 4banger the S2k comes with stock... even comparing Iron blocks to Full alloy LS motor .... the difference between the 2jz and the LS is like 70 LBS and that is an iron block 6 cyl.

I call Bullshit on the @tevinm comment....

[Beldar4214]

@RaptorV1USA A F20C weighs 326 pounds; a F22C1 would weigh slightly more because of the bigger crank. A LS1 weighs 385 pounds with oil in it. So 59 pounds heavier, but it is lower/shorter and can be mounted further back. It isn't going to make much, if any, of a difference in handling.

[deejayzyx]

@Beldar4214 damn they shouldve just put one in the first place!

[Beldar4214]

@deejayzyx I agree but you know Honda... Nothing but high revving, lugnuts need more torque than the motor makes 4 bangers.

[MrFredHoogendoorn]

Sick 0.0

[TH3S3MM3IST3R]

the first thing on my mind when i was the car driving away no flying of was "Shit wanna trade it with my civic 1.6i

[GoonOnFire]

I have a civic with a large wing on it AND AN INTAKE. Now are you impressed with this video? Didn't think so. Ricers....

[Camdawg117]

@GoonOnFire What? Make sense...

[MrLagoss]

Please god of honda restart the production off the s2000 whit this kind of displacement !!

[MrLagoss]

I make this swap 2 years before and im really happy to run it whitout problems ... More than 25000milles , only a ring/pinion on the diff and the problems is gone whit 3.91 ratio !! All works on the cluster and elec p/s , all things in this car is adapted to runs like original !!

[mateeniium]

WHYY......didnt honda do this in the first place?

[podvarakly]

Blasphemy.

[JuliDechecchi]

Ohh toretto, you've made it again!

[FrazerMiller]

holy shit that thing shifts!!!

[BallisticTorch]

God damn...enough said ;)

[BaDaZone3O5]

I'm debating on building a ls1 s2000 or a ls1 rx7.....

[racingspeeddemon89]

@BaDaZone3O5 if its FD go with the 7.s2000's are common.

[Roesch03WRX]

@BaDaZone3O5 240sx

[notogen]

That's too sick!!!

[03MYRAUDERV8]

I just watched this video for the second time and this time I exploded in my pants. Fukkin sicc !!!!!!

[stutzedward]

V8 tune is simply unreplacible...

[KilgoreWoodsCinema]

You now have a go kart with rockets on it.

[speedfreak460]

holy fuck

[JakeJNyc]

Please tell me how hard was this to actually do? did it fit right in? That is the most beautiful thing i have ever laid eyes on it was like an angel spreading its wings when you took off accept better

[Pete2daNate]

I would like to see the look on all the honda and chevy guys... I would have done the same thing if i had the cash...

[Danknugs2011]

so badass

[tevinm14]

None of the people hating on this car can BEAT this car. point blank. That is POWER mixed with LOW WEIGHT.... the majority of the weight is coming from the engine that is a light car normally, so my hats off to you sir, even though i dont wear hats. I cant beat you.

[Mountaindoodoo]

@tevinm14

you do realise that the chevy ls1 v8 engine weighs about the same as the original 4cyl honda engine in the s2000.

[tevinm14]

@Mountaindoodoo Nope, but i still think the v8 is faster than the N/A 4 banger. I drive a Mr2 Turbo myself (4cylturbo)

[jdmfreak92]

@Mountaindoodoo Not trying to be a smartass, but does it really? That's insane!

[Madslick2517]

@Mountaindoodoo yeah if by about the same you mean 100+lbs more

[xenoo4life]

@Mountaindoodoo . . . You wish it weighted the same...

On Topic.. If you gave me this car, I would just sell it the same day, for an F20C powered S2000

I don't see the point swapping the cars Best Point. That awesome Sounding engine that revs to hell...

[bamfan2044]

@xenoo4life Actually its about a 15LB difference.

[Jak3Mac]

@Mountaindoodoo

Do you realize you can upgrade the F motor to put out more power than the LS1, for much less than what is cost to swap it?

[RaptorV1USA]

@Jak3Mac 3 words ... no fuckin way Prove it . exactly.

[frostbytey]

@Jak3Mac but it doesnt sound anywhere as good as that...

[Jak3Mac]

@frostbytey

Id say they both sound pretty amazing.

[XXXCompAssesXXX]

poor s2k

[zigzagg321321]

LSX>VTAK

[Martenrrx]

fucking shiet! Villken pull!

[eandy05]

I also just jizzed in my pants

[joseabreu00]

Now you see what a America V8 does to a Honda. None of that Vtec BULLSHIT!!

[verafly6]

@joseabreu00 vtec is the most reliable engine manufactured ever...

[DRIFTINGIN808]

@verafly you be trollin mon

[smiddy700]

@DRIFTINGIN808 its true, honda say the only failed f20 engines they get back are due to poor owner maintenance

[NatsCapsSkinsWiz]

@verafly6 I don't think reliabity was on his mind when he heard the V8. Vtec great engine, but doesn't sound like a V8

[verafly6]

@NatsCapsSkinsWiz thats why i got a V8

[03MYRAUDERV8]

Bad ass looking car.... and DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!!

[showoff07]

OMG

[NZXTInerTia]

Thats my beater car..

[theeggieaponte]

jizz in my pants...

[benpowersification]

I just made a mess in my pants.

[Codeblauananas]

Wicked!

[johngorgis]

way to fuckup the 50/50 weight distribution

[purpledrank1337]

@johngorgis you're a moron

[TheK6GSXR1000]

wow best use of an ls block i've seen in a while. quit hatin

[VBSouthpaw]

what a waste of an LS block

[chipstadley1]

hahaha, what a fucking tool, grind your gears much?

[bucketx]

holy shit the speed on that thing

[mrchoppaboy]

that was one hellofa take off

[keeganowen12]

thats rediculas how front heavy would that thing be

[mznhu]

@keeganowen12

About the same. LS1 are light for V8's due to single cam's.
