I know there's already comments on this, but I'm still wrapping my brain around a dual clutch S2000....wow

DCT S2000, what an interesting build!

[@bluesrike]

"The flashers is for when I want to tell Jackie to get out of the way." Oh snap 🔥

[@philspaghet]

I gotta say, the DCT makes my purist heart scream but my tech/performance heart screams way louder. I wouldn't ever consider DCT swapping my S2000 but... this makes sense and I totally respect it. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit I want to drive it :P

[@bluesrike]

What do you think of a DCT-swapped Skyline GT-R though? There's a shop out in Norway called HPR Tuning who made a DCT swap kit for the R32-34 and it retains the ATTESA all-wheel drive.

[@philspaghet]

@@bluesrike i still hold the same opinion. Is rather have it retain a 3 pedal transmission, at least like a sequential gearbox

[@bluesrike]

@@philspaghet I'm of the controversial opinion that if I had a R34 or any RB-era GT-R, I would DCT it for 2 reasons: 1. Keeps it on par with modern supercars. 2. Probably the more important reason: There will come a day where there will be no more Getrag V160s left, same goes spare parts. When that time comes, GT-R owners will have to make a decision: Keep your cars in storage, which I'm pretty sure everyone will object to or replace it with a sequential that's makes it tough to drive on the street or go DCT.

[@philspaghet]

@@bluesrike I don't think that needs to be the case. After all these cars are so popular that even Nissan is remanufacturing parts. And even so we will have aftermarket options for transmissions. No one uses Getrag V160s anymore if they didn't come stock with their cars. Most high power manual Japanese cars I see end up using T56 GN transmissions or newer CD009 Nissan transmissions in the US where I live. Going with an expensive BMW M4 DCT instead of a faceplated custom race grade T56 for the same price is silly not to mention there are kits and shops who will convert a T56 or TR6060 into a sequential. And the weight and complexity of the M4 DCT is also a detriment in comparison. I assume you're in Europe but I'm the US, we have lots of high horsepower parts for muscle cars, we just adapt those for Japanese cars if need be.

[@philspaghet]

@@bluesrike the biggest reason DCT cars are faster than manuals is gear ratios, if you custom spec a T56 like i said and add no lift shift you can remove a lot of delay and save weight before going sequential

[@jonthecowboy]

As a person who is young, but always owned Hondas(currently dailying an FK8 CTR). I always wanted a S2K growing up and love crazy frankenstein builds that are ridiculously fast. This is so cool and I love that they did a K24(I've had 2 K20's now and love them) with a turbo AND DCT is just so cool. Edit: killer credits song

[@EduS2K_]

in Spain there are two people who also mounted DCT to the s2000, one with k24 turbo and the other with f20 turbo

[@Driftmonkey]

Is it the same guy that has a grey K24 turbo EG?

[@Love2Cruise]

This video puts the manual vs AT/DCT debate to rest. Get manual for street cars for fun, and AT/DCT for track cars for lower lap times.

[@curlyanoable]

I agree 💯

[@JackieDing86]

Simply put, I'll never put an AT/DCT in my AE86 because that car is built entirely to have fun. But if you're competing for results, you don't say oh I'm having fun going slower, lol

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

@@JackieDing86 how are u controlling the transmission?

[@Ryousure]

The beauty in this swap is that dct is built by getrag .which make super strong trans like supra v160.. s2k trans are know for breaking 2nd after 500hp. Its a perfect swap for the street once the ecu side is perfected.

That steering wheel looks sick. And the side exit exhaust makes the car look like a drag car converted into time attack duties.

[@JackieDing86]

Honestly a lot of TA cars have taken to this fender-exit exhaust approach, which... cool, but I don’t think is something I want to do. But it does save a lot of weight so there’s that.

That DC2 Integra makes 1000hp on full kill and they mainly race it at 650hp because they're logging wheel spin up to 280kph.

Is the K24 a better motor than what came with the S2k? Is it just a different character?

That car with a built K24/K20 head and a rear diffuser will be significantly faster. Many seconds a lap. Impressive to be at 2500 pounds with the DCT

[@oms325mg]

According to our aero company, and I trust our aero company, a rear diffuser will help some, but really needs to have a flat floor to be ultimately effective. Rules dictate that we cannot have a flat floor. We still have a couple of tricks up our sleeve for this season, thought.

Isn't a DCT technically a sequential transmission? Like, if you want to go from 1st to 4th, you have to go through all the gears first. Unlike a H-pattern or torque converter. *Protest*

[@JackieDing86]

I mean if someone wants to make that argument to Gridlife and start the debate for the 800th time, feel free. It’s grey area, no doubt, but it may seem like the legal type of grey area

[@izzdin6228]

@@JackieDing86 i have a feeling the rulemakers were thinking something like the Samsonas sequential trans when they wrote "no sequential trans" for the class. I don't think they took into account people taking OEM dct trans from other manufacturers and frankensteining it into their TA cars.

@@JackieDing86 Oh, has this already been brought up? The Gridlife rules for Street Mod just say "Dogboxes / sequential gearboxes prohibited unless OEM", which seems pretty all encompassing. I dunno, I don't have a dog in this fight, just thought it was interesting.

Yea that’s the thing, “Unless OEM”. So they argue that this BMW DCT is OEM so it should be allowed to swap into other cars, ya see?

@@RStandsForRace Sequential transmission has a definition in the glossary of Gridlife rules that a DCT does not meet. So as far as gridlife is concerned, a DCT is not a sequential. And mechanically it's not, it works very differently.
