Used Mercury Capri ? 100km Radius of Vancouver, BC

Turbo S2000 J's Racing - 13000

Rebuilt title

Not sure if the ad is real
Even with the rebuilt title there's value in the car. The J's bodykit alone is worth at least 10k including paint/labour involved installing it. Dismantle the turbo and sell it on S2Ki for 1-2k to some speed freak who think turboing a s2k is 'cool'

If you can look past the rebuilt title this is a very good deal. Only thing stopping my from putting in an offer is the tacky yellow color. By far one of the least desirable colors and not my thing.

Yea I heard that s2k is literally falling apart... one picture on his craigslist ad before showed like a 2inch gap before passenger headlight and bumper..

Depends on why it has a rebuilt status. A total theft of auto is way different than if it has been smashed. Usually the vehicle will never be the same after a major collision.

Why is it not cool? I've seen plenty of boosted F20C/F22C motors that handle it quite well.

The S2000 motor is not really a good turbo candidate. It's already highly stressed, producing as much as 120 hp per liter. To get that power one of the things Honda did was to run high compression. Turbos also create high cylinder pressures so turbo engine builders usually run between 8:1 and 9:1 compression. The S comes from the factory with 11:1.

The only way to keep a boosted S alive on pump gas is to retard the timing to reduce cylinder pressures under boost. This takes special engine management. The extra air from the turbo needs more fuel to keep the air/fuel mix correct (CRITICAL in a boosted engine). This takes larger fuel injectors and, again, special engine management.

So for starters you have only begun down an expensive and time consuming road. Once you have purchased all of the parts they have to be installed and set up correctly. You won't be able to do it and I can guarantee that any shop you walk into won't approve of half of the parts you've bought. If it's a good shop they will insist on replacing half of the stuff you just picked up. If they're willing to just bolt a turbo swap meet to your engine they're just taking your money. It will never work properly.

The final straw is that there is always the chance that trying to get 200 hp/liter out of your motor will break something. If replacing the engine is going to be a problem for your budget you shouldn't even start this.

nice copy pasterino.

fliptuner 05-30-2014 03:16 PM
This means more

BUT THIS IS IRREFUTABLE!!!!!

white rocket 05-30-2014 03:33 PM
yeah, nice copy and paste. I didn't say a stock F20C/F22C but you can get a thicker head gasket to lower c/r if you are that concerned about it. More of a band-aid but it'll do. It's all about the tuning. There are plenty of higher compression motors running boost and doing it just fine, not just Honda motors.

The ad's been flagged, let me lend a hand.

The pintle hitch is a nice touch, too often people put on hitches underrated for towing capacity.
