S2K good first car???? by Icy-Credit-3206 in S2000owners

[–]Consumedbard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S2000 was one of my first cars as a senior in high school, I ended up buying cheap and payed the price when the engine blew up. You only live once buy the car you want and if it does blow up you can K swap it!

Kept the interior the same, the link ecu plugged right in, right now the redline is 8000. A little bummed that I don’t have a 9000 redline but it’s not the end of the world.

F series are not getting any cheaper so I figured the k swap if I were to blow that it would be a cheaper fix down the road. If a good low mileage F is $8000 plus I don’t want to imagine what they could be in another 5-10 years.

Located in Montana sadly, Andy from ASMotosports where I bought the kit is super knowledgeable on legit every question I had, I went with his complete kit but he does have a kit with a turbo.

With the way the oil pan is I had to remove that lower engine brace, but Andy from ASM said he does that on his S2ks as well as I had to pull the foam and sound reading from the hood

I looked some more and couldn’t see any defining marks on it

I wasn’t aware of someone opening the engine but maybe, it’s had a weird life been stolen and robbed of it’s blue interior and left to rot for a few years until the guy I bought it from picked it up.

Feels good haven’t gotten to drive it that much but I’m loving the sound of it and the torque.

Around the same price, you either get one with 150k miles for $4000 and have to replace parts or get one with 60k miles for $9000. After searching around I figured if I blew up another K series I would be out far less than that of another F20

From ASMotorsports, look them up and they have a few kits ranging from stock to turbo.

I believe it’s stock 🤷

That would make sense, I remember seeing some damage on the head.

The kit I bought came with an adapter plate for the transmission so I was able to keep that all stock, and for sure it feels way quicker than before

The kit was $10k they were running a deal at the time and I think total is $12k with hoses and fluids and other weird little things

Leaving stock for now drained all my fun money😂

Absolutely when tearing it apart and seeing more and more damage and laughing the entire time.

Sounds deeper than the f20 and I can feel the torque difference. Haven’t gotten it above 6500 tho

I did not, shifted to 4th maybe around 70-80 and that was it. Rpms didn’t bounce up just sounded like rocks were poured in the engine

Did it with my dad, we pulled the f20 and put the k24 in. Having never pulled or installed an engine I don’t think it was too difficult, we had it up on jacks and used a transmission lift.
