It's been a couple'a years, but a wee bit over 10 seconds as I remember, but then I imagine that you were lookin' for times 1/4 milin' Stewie weren'cha?
'Never subjected Stewie to that particular abuse. 'Leastwize, not with that many witnesses aroun'.
Be well.

Low 11s would be impossible in a stock S2000. I would go as far as to say anything <12 is impossible even with a bolt-on blower. A turbo'ed s2k could pull it off, but the list of mods would be very impressive. I just think the S2000 wasn't designed with that particular discipline in mind. If it's 1/4 mile pulls You're after, go get a Supra.

The s2k was not designed for any type of racing. It is a point A to point B car, as are ALL cars made for the road. They are road cars not race cars.

Now tell me why you think its not made for drag. I love people like you, you think its a track car because it has a stiff frame, rwd, high rev motor. Guess what, that also makes it a damn good drag car. We are lookin to run 9s this year and to have the fastest s2k in the world.

Most good roadcars can be modified to run <11s with enough of money put into them. I just don't think our cars are the best possibe platforms for a drag project. Judging by pics there's not many parts left that are stock in the powertrain. Why did You choose the S2000 as Your drag car platform? Was it weight? It sure couldn't have been the power.

??? What do you mean the power?

The s2k is rwd, stong frame, huge room under the hood, and no one has really done it. I hate having the same as everyone else

how much?

i don't know if you remember, but what's your best guess as to what was spent on the engine/turbo set up. do you have anymore pictures of the engine bay?

i did sort of the same thing building a custom harley with paint, billet wheels, 120 inch merch motor, stretch tank, everything chrome you could chrome, and when i finished it and won numerous best of show, etc., i sold it! it seems that no matter how fast your are, there is always someone faster who is willing to spend even more money. good luck with your build, keep us informed of any new 1/4 mile times. you must be single or have the most understanding wife on the planet. if you are married, does she have any sisters?

Amen 'Addict.
But back when I was buildin' what I was sure was the "ultimate sportscar" I vaguely (only in retrospect) seem to remember some of the older, experience-hardened, commentors sayin' similar stuff. Yet your Harley (got any flix?) n' my Austin-Healey still hadda be built.
'Think it's one'a those "circle'a life" things.
Impressive stuff 'turbo.
But dooya still get to take it out for a cruise with the top down when the weather's cooperatin'?
Keep us posted.
Be well.

I would have to disagree with ya bro althought you have done a good job on making you car a quite good 1/4 mile car.I'm pretty much sure that honda had no intent on makign this car a A to B car like some other cars. I copied this below strait from the offical honda web site. As so you seem pretty knowledgable about cars, you cant look over a S2000 in stock for and give a fair answer that is was a A to B car. Come on man?
It wasn't merely "inspired" by racing. The S2000 was developed on the high-speed straightaways, breathtaking sweepers and tight hairpins of Suzuka—site of the Japanese Grand Prix—by engineers who have worked to create an extraordinary legacy of success in motorsports.

We've collected more than 70 Grand Prix victories in Formula One™ racing and 65 wins in CART open-wheel racing. And we continue to be a top competitor of the Indy Racing League® series, winning 14 of 16 races last season, plus the Manufacturers' Championship, Drivers' Championship and Rookie of the Year. Competition makes our engineers better able to create smart, innovative designs for our production vehicles. There's no more perfect expression of our pioneering spirit and our burning desire to win than the revolutionary S2000.

The S2000 epitomizes our racing heritage. Its DNA is that of a pure thoroughbred racer, with a lineage like a road map of Honda engineering milestones. In fact, many of the technological achievements you'll find in the S2000 were created in the Honda Performance Development Center, the technical operations center for our IndyCar® program. So hop in and take a trip around your neighborhood—you'll hear those Formula One genes loud and clear.

I think you guys are missing the point. The s2000 is a street car, just like a Civic. Like I said before, the s2k is damn good for drag for the same reason it is for road racing.We have sooo many people question why I use this car, its like me asking why did you buy it. You love the car, I still take it out on the nice spring and fall days, sumer nights. I love to drop the top and have the little 20y.o. girls drop there pants. So yes, I still drive it on the street on the weekends and at night. I also have a 2005 RL and a 2000 Subaru. So there is no need to drive the s2k day to day.

The s2k does have a weak drivetrain. The only part that is stock is the trans and it wont be that way for long. I have InlinePros turbo kit, custom turbo, 300zx diff kit, darton sleeves, Carrillo rods, aries pistons, head done by \ with Ti retainers and they are also doing the 10 point cage. You can go to the link at the bottom of my Sig and see the pics

Nah. 'Godda pull ya up short on that one 'Turbo. It sure's hell ain't "jus' like a Civic."
Oh, I agree with you that the point's bein' missed. We jus' don't agree on who's missin' it.
But, when all is said n' done, if we're all enjoyin' ourselves (it's all therapy, ain't it?) that's all that matters.
Keep us posted on your progress. Those of us that haven't a clue as to why you're doin' what you're doin' still find it interestin' to see how you're makin' out.
Different strokes. Keeps it all interestin', don't it?
Be well.

I think peoples point was you can buy a camaro for 9 grand put 2-3 grand of work into it and run alot faster then you did in the s. So since you built a car for drag and stuff it seems like it wasnt the best choice. I personally dont care I think building any 4cyl to be fast is a waste of time and money. I am currently building my turbo 4 cyl motor for my other car again cause its addicting but if I had it to do again id build a fox body.

I understand that. Im not doing it just to be fast. If I wanted that I would of got a V8. I wanted something that no one had. do you know how great it feels to pull up to a ZO6 vett and know you can rape him. My car makes over 460rwhp on low boost. Everyone has a fast Civic and a V8 is easy to make fast. I have had 5 motors in this car. I have spent $40-50k + the car. The car is not really built for drag, it works well there but it still has all of the stock susp, only springs. If I wanted to run SCCA all I would need to do is change out the tires and put some good susp on it.

Building a 4cly may be a waste of $, if you only want to go fast. But it is worth it if you have a car no one else has. If I can have one of the top 5 fastest s2k in the world then it was worth it. Right now there are only 3 faster known s2ks

Trust me I know about building a car thats rare. I chose to build a car that they only sent 800 to the us back in 91. I love the car but im tired of spending twice the money and time as I would with another car just to make it quick. Its this ugly primered with a blown motor car. Motor is almost done again though might put it in tomorrow 30 psi breaks things so does broken oil lines for that matter
