Stock versus S/C

[johnny]

Here fellas, check out this heads-up of two S2000s. I'll let you figure out which is which.

Couldn't get that video link to work.. I guess I'll try it again later.

Kind of disappointing (with respect to other Honda FI applications) how easy it is to make 340 bhp with an S2000 engine and Comptech supercharger. With B series motors, a lot more prep is required to get that kind of power.. 'course, you can get a lot more than just a supercharger for $5K with a B series.

Are you sure the link doesn't work? I tried just now, and it does...

Worked for me.

That S/C gives a 100hp boost? Holy crap!

That video would be great if that guy would shut up and hold the camera steady. Still, it's easy to spot the difference in performance.

Got it to work now. Interesting to note that the NA guy got a better launch. Wonder if that was a difference in driver skill, a little increased wheelspin at launch from the SC boost, or just a polite headstart for the underdog?

ok, so you could get more from a b series... but the s2k is an s2k... end of story..
i bet that the s/c car got a shittay launch b/c of wheelspin, especially considering the wheelspin on the na car...
either way... i'd take em both

true but a supercharger or a turbo system for an S2k would be much cheaper then the ones that are in development/available now if the S2k was made in larger numbers. The reason performance parts cost so dang much for it...is that demand is fairly low. Compare a full turbo kit for a 5.0 mustang at like $2k to a kit my buddy on s2ki is developing for about 6-8k...both include the same parts, but the volume of production for the S2k is just too dang low.

That's why NSX parts are so expensive.
