is that an SR20 engine ?

 

No mate, guess again

 

You'll have to tell me, I aint that clue'd up on the jap engines

 

2JZ (supra turbo) lump in a S2000

 

Take it thats the modern engine then ?

I thought they were twin turbo'd ?

Still it looks as if it belongs in there

 

Ace conversion, there's a few videos of them on Youtube etc

 

Its not a standard engine mate

They tend to get converted to single turbo when going for big power, this one is capable of around 850bhp apparently.

Fuck did I get something right ? makes a change !!

is it popular to convert them to single turbo then or was it just done for this car ?

Video is cracking too

 

All the big power ones (stavros will correct me with some obscure car ive not seen, lol) are on single turbo mate

 

any particular reason why or just to de-complicate things ?

 

Largely to simplify things, no real reason why 1 or 2 turbos will make any more peak power on any given engine that im aware of.

Might make an interesting discussion thread that as im sure the likes of mark shead would have good input into the 1 turbo vs 2 turbo debate if we catch him on the right day, not at 3am though, lol

 

Aye its maybe not the best time !

Intresting though, 2 smaller turbos would reckon to be running less load but would they not have to produce as much power as a single turbo anyway to get the desired BHP/ performance hence putting them under more strain than a larger single unit ?

I dont know but would like to find out.

 

No one else want to answer ?

Chip whats your views ?

 

1 turbo or 2 turbos, makes no real odds if its specced correct.

1 turbo with twice the flow capacity and equally well specced as 2 smaller ones will behave almost the same if all else was equal.

Theory has it that 2 if slightly better, but reality never seems to show it.

Much more complication and cost with two, and MUCH harder to get a perfectly specced turbo for your application.

There are lots of big power twin and single turbo Supras around, twins used to be more common on mega power ones in Japan as they never had any "home" produced turbos that werer good for more than about 850bhp, and never seem to like to use ones without Jap branding on em.

And 2JZ Supra engine in an S2000, yeah, pretty common, tho kind of changes the characteristics of the car, the revvyness goes, tho id prefer the 2JZ.

Could turbo the original engine if want, dont loads too, and can get big power from them, and then you got a turbo and a 10,000rpm motor.

Wonder how the bigger/longer 2JZ affects the handling, as bulkhead hasnt been modded.

On Phils new S15 they have modded the bulkead loads to move the 2JZ engine back to sort the handling...

 

steve, i've got a little website i reckon you'd be interested in

 

Barely legal teen porn?

 

not quite mate.

similar engine to yours (well now old engine) in a very small ford

space framed the works.

should be very very special

 

That spaceframed focus thing hillclimb with a standard RB26 in thats been around for ever?

 

Seen that the other day very cool!!!!


Still deciding wether to get a S2000 myself for the summer Not sure what to do though

 

nope smaller than a focus and as far as im aware its not finished yet.

and the engine is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from standard.

The Oiesgen* (spelling) box is quite nice aswell.

 

a few lads at work have had s2000's, and both sold them as they said they were not a great drivers car , shame, they never seem to have caught on over here really , I have never driven one, but looks a very good car on paper

 

Ryan-
Well just post the link!
That focus isnt done either.
I fail to be that impressed by anything anymore tho, so dont hold your breath your the screams of excitment, lol

Will-
Ive driven a good few, and hard, and i tend to agree.
To me its another case of "fast lap times dont mean more fun", something most forget on here.
They hard work to drive on the limit (very small powerband if you want to make the most of it, drop 3 gears from cruise to hardest accel), and while they mega grippy, the break away is sudden and snappey, so fast rather than fun.

But most people dont take their cars to the limits and just want a quick good handling car, so its fine for most.

 

regardless of how much quicker that s2000 probably now is, it just somehow seems wrong to get rid of the vtec lump, its what makes a honda a honda imo!

cool car, but just seems wrong in some weird way!

 

i said ¨interested in¨, not cum in your pants excited with



i'll get the link

 

Maybe it shouldve been the barely legal teen porn then

there you go mate, have a nose around

 

Stavros, I agree totally with what you are saying if its about a skyline style setup, but in the case of the twin turbos on the supra, im sure you cant match the low down response with one big one.

Id be going single anyway though, fuck all that complexity just for the sake of making it a little easier to drve for people who cant drive properly and dont know what gear to be in

 

thats a VERY well built car

 

Seriously cool fiesta

 

Ryan? How is that similar to my old engine? Ive never had a 2.4litre 5cyl engine?

Says its got a 5speed dogbox too, not an OSG one?

Im confused! Its a ford/volvo 5cyl lump, no Nissan or even Jap parts at all as far as i can see?



What Skyline style setup?

You mean cause Supra ones are seqential as standard?

Stock setup is mega restrictive though and nigh on impossible to get workling with bigger turbos, so then your back to "normal" twin turbos like on a Skyline, and then its pointless.

 

Yes skyline style = one per 3 cylinders as opposed to sequential like the 2JZ starts with.

 

that orange fiesta is

 

both the S2000 and the Fiesta are
