rob2.2 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 its a very often used mistake people thinking the s2k runs the same engine as a civic type r but hey, id prefere it to have a k20 as you could then do a k24 transpant and k series engine react better to N/A tuning where as the s2k f20 will only ever gain 20-30 bhp without spending thousands , honda designed it pretty much on the limit of its performance ability so you need to change lots of internal and bolt on bits to gain big BHP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Amen to that mate, ahd a massive barney with a mate the other day who was adamant its the same engine as the K20 lolI know its very similar though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob2.2 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 the 2.2 was mainly developed for the USA market but you can get hold of a jap import right hand drive 2.2 s2000 but there very rare, almost as rare a rocking horse droppings in fact. ive heard good things about the engines for turbo aplications but as a stock unit not that many people like them and there are virtually no 2.2 specific tuning parts available all the manifolds and parts are designed for 2.0 flow rates but will fit 2.2 as stub pattern is the same on the head. Honda's make all there power at top RPM so it would have to be a 2.0 litre screamer for me out of the 2 cars. but i would love to drive one to see what the difference actually is.id like to get hold of a 2.2 fit uprated oil & water pump, acl bearings, arp bolts, stand alone managment, ITB's with some agressive cams and i think you could see close to 300bhp with a 10-11k rev limit rob2.2, off topic a little, but how do you find the F22? I was always curious to see the differences between them would be.A little more low down grunt and a lower rev limit is what I read, is is really noticeable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nastyrash 2003 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 boys i lov these motors, my mate has just got the accord h22. so we getting 1 of thm rediculas manifolds for it. it has the leather trim well nice, honda do the best veriable valve engine on the market. he paid 2.9k which is nothing for wat u get.

Sanchez Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just been down to see my mate at my local Honda tuning place to discuss a few options ;)Skunk2 exhaust system will be in the UK start of June so think i will have one of them £600While im at it i think i will take a Skunk2 gearknob tooWe discussed intakes, and have decided on the AEM cold air intake -£250Think my clutch has started slipping so we taked new clutch and flywheels, Competition clutch and light weight flywheel sorted - £500My mate who works at the local motor factors has priced me up some EBC grooved and dimpled discs front and rear along with yellow stuff pads - £350 (normally £450, the joys ) will probably add some braided lines to that also.Meister Rs coilover pretty much confirmed, just need to pay lol - £600Which just leaves a manifold for now, maybe a buddy club one, and wheels, still undecided on them yet....Oh and a front lip of some sort.So as you can see, i have only owned the car 2 weeks, and the mod bug has hit me already.... hahaThat will do for now untill i decide weather im going to got ITB or Supercharger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob2.2 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 £5k for a bodykit is just wrong!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah its ridiculous haha fair play if you have the money to blow, but im going for the clean OEM look ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well still no real updates, changed the front plate for a smaller one so that looks better, will get a pic when get some decent weather!!Also found a private plate for the car too so will probs get that.Still deciding on an exhaust too, was going to get the Skunk2 megapower, but after abit more research i found that its a horrendously loud exhaust hahaSo think im going to go for the Fujitsubo Legalis R or the Tanabe Concept G/Medallion!Decided against a decat too as they throw all sorts of dash codes, and cant be arsed with the hassle of maybe failing MOTs again, so am going to go for a Berk HFC.Manifold is likely to be a BuddyClub one, seems a middle of the market part, better quality than the DC sports stuff and as much as i want a Spoon or Toda manifold, i really cant afford or justify spending that amount of money hahaWaiting for payment details for the Meister R coilovers so i can get them ordered.Will go for a K&N Fipk air induction kit, seems decent for power and is decent priced.As for wheels im going to sell the curent ones or maybe keep them as winter wheels, going to go for Rota wheels (i know not JDM ) but have you seen the price of new 17'' JDM wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sanchez Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Cheers Lew!Thanks sparks, yeah mate, still deciding on that atm, depends what colour i go with the hardtop... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well small update, going to pick up a OEM hardtop tomorrow from London, its currently OEM silverstone grey, but it comes with the fitting kit and a decent price tag, so im happy untill i get it sprayed the Grand Prix White to match the car.....So in that case, whatever wheels i go for will probably go white too Which im hoping to get a set of OEM Honda NSX wheels, so the car is going to look clean and OEM which will look pretty cool i think!!!Oh and how i LOVE ebay, just picked up a 2nd hand TODA clutch/flywheel kit similar to the ORC309 i had on the GT with a few thousand miles on, so that should cope with whatever power upgrades i go for in the future.Pics tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
