Here's the 650hp rpm limited v8 supercars S60 stroked 4.4 to 5.0 series limit. The motor is amazing, Volvo took first place in their debut and took the championship. You would want to talk to Polestar but the engines are still essentially free. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKyiniEmtR9aaM

[@vonbayernDE]

Great effort. Wish this info is available 10 years ago. Todays kid should be grateful.

[@hpa101]

Things have certainly come a long way when it comes to knowledge at your fingertips. Cheers for the support :) - Taz.

[@popomomo12]

As you've said in other videos, we're constantly learning and improving! Keep at it guys 👍👍👍

[@flyonbyya]

“I made a dogs breakfast...” Haven’t heard that in 20 years! Love it !

[@PaceWorks]

I agree with s2000 been thinking that this years your inside my head 🤣if we wer aloud to build rally cars here in Ireland out of convertibles I'd build a s2000. Proof is in Japan's "hot version " by best motoring on KZbin the 2 fastest cars on the touge are the Honda s2000 and later ugly model mr2 take your pick 👌🏼👍🏻 Who else love Hot version 🤙🏼🇮🇪🇯🇵👍🏻

[@3finnian]

Hot version is the best, the rx7 did pretty well on the touge, may have beaten Jay's S2000 in another video. I personally want to get an ugly mr2 for my next car and put a v6 from a Lexus rx350 in it. The ugly mr2s are piss cheap here in the UK

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

An Indy powered S2000 sounds beautifully bonkers. Give him another year or two and Gingium will probably bodge one together himself.

[@willmc11]

What about a Noble M12 or M600?

[@TheWarrenWalker]

For the boys!!! Honda-loveeeee!

[@Odd_Redneck]

I got a 1uz, im thinking if my body on the soarer is too rusty drop it in a suzuki swift. If its clean im going to run it till it blows then build a swift with a rear d series honda from a ek civic front molded in the rear of the suzuki.

[@ericcline9146]

What year Toyota or Lexus is the motor out of? Any year model better than another.wanted to put it in a miata .thanks in advance..the s2k would be sick.get the spoon style top that reaches to the rear of the deck lid.

[@popomomo12]

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_UZ_engine has some good info

[@ericcline9146]

Thanks

[@bernardwarr4187]

Great info as always

[@ericcline9146]

Also I saw a video of a place here in the USA that deals in old IndyCar engines and stuff..parts for days..il post a link if i can find it again..the indycar motor would be awesome in the s2k

[@peterkelly7937]

Love a good hardtop S2000 personally.

[@BlakeCWong]

How do you guys not have more subs? Professional level material and production. I really enjoy it, thanks

[@PaceWorks]

KZbin's a bitch and only likes click bait fucks with bad taste 🤣

[@PH1N0]

What about the the 4.5 AJP Engine from TVR? Don't know how the ability is down in new Zeeland and Australia. But it is actually a race engine with 420hp from factory and there are upgrades available from tvr Power called red rose

[@s2000Macedonia]

Here is a tought..put a j37 honda v6 in it ans call it a day..you can search s3700 on the net and see that HPD did 2 cars like this and the lead developer said that the weight penalty was around 15-20lbs on the total weight.. Do a cusom ecu and rev that motor and u can do a 400whp. Reliable..

[@Jtdedeaux]

E46 330ci/I turbo. Nice mechanical grip and space for tires and in a price range that’s attractive to the audience. I’ve heard rumors that the m54b30 was produced with fairly strong crank and rods

[@grecoconduris6716]

I really like the S2000. And a high revving V8 would be mint. Thinking out loud, but is there any decent narrow angle V6s that with a bolt on rotrex and forged internals might get up to the 600hp mark?

[@grecoconduris6716]

Mike Cousin haha I do like that option, but too heavy and would impact polar moment of inertia.

[@leenux1707]

I like the S2000 but I have a soft spot for the FD (and if I remember you have one 'laying around' ? ) with the aero kit from RE Amemiya it's a very beautiful car ! the problem is maybe the reliability of the 13B at 600+ (and the 20B isn't cheap ...)

[@alanb9337]

Henshaw Motor Racing workshop nz is developing an uprated mazda derived triple rotary engine. (from what has been learned from running/ rebuilding rotaries for years)

[@gordowg1wg145]

12:05 - the mousetrap thing, no point doing all that when others have already invested their time and money (and it takes a LOT of both), when you don't have any reason to think you've some 'magic' solution no-one else has come up with - jusrt need to follow the logic, rather than the hype and advertising budgets. S2000/2400 is a good choice - as you say, with forced induction you can be looking at a reliable 6-800 hp from a K series.

[@devjyarn]

Haha, I love the dream build! If plan A doesn't work, just chop off the front clip and weld on the front half of a racecar.

[@markdavies9765]

How about a lotus elise/exige with turbo/ supercharged k20 . Mine weighs 740kgs and runs 650bhp

[@ant_smitty4277]

S2K chassis would be a great option I think. Roll cage would remove the the convertible aspect anyway. What about a Nissan VQ motor 35 or 37 with maybe twin turbo setup or big single. Lightweight and somewhat compact as well.

[@bry2221]

S2000 is the way to go, good choice boys.

[@Streatracer99]

Love the S2000 idea! But as a 6'2" dude I have to ask.....will both of you guys fit in it ok with a cage/seat/etc? So tiny inside! As one of my dream cars I was heartbroken when I finally went to drive one haha.

[@Laminur]

S2K chassis would be awesome! That Voltex kit looks incredible.

[@nnr3]

Hmm you forgot to discuss the part about choosing an intercooler, which you mentioned at the beginning of the video.

[@hpa101]

Hey Ivan, this is the pre-show from that webinar. We do them live for free, then they are uploaded to the members only archive here: www.hpacademy.com/technical-articles/crimping-on-a-budget-tools-and-materials/ There are some details on this in the description. In the past we never published this bit that came before the webinar, it was either you caught it live or you didn't but we thought it was better to post it on up rather than just delete it as there is often some good knowledge in these too - Taz.

[@3finnian]

S2000s handle very well from watching hot version and their tuners challenge. Once I've built my Supra I want to do an MR-S 3.5l turbo v6 build, basically poor man's lotus exige, the engine comes from a Lexus rx350 and they're often used for Hill climb monsters! May struggle with tyres though, they're pretty narrow cars compared with gt3 cars

[@CS-lh3oz]

Toyota MR2 SW20 or Spyder with a boosted K24 or 2GRFE should be really competitive (lightweight with ample horsepower + mid-engine layout)

[@bobbobson7882]

I was thinking 2gr MR2 as well...

[@nunyabidness105]

Great engine ideas either way! 180sx has great aero comparable with Porsche. An e92 would be cool or a 370z but may be heavy. Looking forward to seeing the project and thanks for the knowledge!

[@boosthit811]

With the s2000 I would stick to a k24 turbo. Quite cheep and light. V8 would mess up the weight balance and engine issues or failure would get expensive quick.

[@hpa101]

Yeah even the requirement for pre-heating would be a pain for us, but IndyCar Ilmor V8.....the little irrational kid part of us just wants it haha Realistically the K24 is what will happen though, we just need to do a little more adulting before it's locked in - Taz.

[@boosthit811]

Add toluol-toluene to pump gas to increase range and knock protection. Max 25% toluol to pump fuel. An old endurance trick.

[@travisjones4992]

Papadakis built Toyota 2ar-fe in an 86? 🤔 plenty of aero options and super light engine that they run at 850hp in formula drift so if you turn it down to 600 it should be rock solid. Add Hollinger and enjoy life

[@orlandot3944]

I would've picked for chasis a 2017 camaro 2ss. It battled and beat many supercars on time at the nurburgring using the NON ZL1 model.

[@phillyphil1513]

#ALPHACHASSIS

[@Ahogg1992]

Lotus Exige S V6 supercharged or k24 supercharged/turbo superlight mid engine some aero available. Something more left field a turbo bike engine kit car like mk Indy with some aero work saves money on gearbox etc

[@flyonbyya]

Though many find LS swaps are all too common...one cannot deny the cost vs power vs reliability vs spares quotient. You can source 5.3 liters all day long for $300 US...with unlimited spares. Run stock bottom end with aluminum heads and a good valve train...and you do what the Audi’s etc... for 10% of the cost.

[@maseywat]

LS engines are expensive in New Zealand

[@sexyfacenation]

Send some of them into AUSTRALIA my dude

[@vtctktk]

As much as I love the S2k but it just too small for what you are trying to do, and that Voltex kit will cost a fourtune to buy or to replace. Why not just replace the s2k chassis with a more aerodynamic and still great chassis like the Corvette C6? It seems to be a better fit with the rest of your needs (engine/tire size/cheap available parts)

[@rileylilwell5201]

S2000 would be sick! I like it😎 but how about at Z chassis? 350/370? With a F20/K24/LS(🤢) package? Or run your SR 350 build?😏

[@ronhendrix6977]

It’s very hard to beat the economics of a out of spec NASCAR engine. I expect you could get a couple engines from TRD if you stick with a Toyota brand car. The NASCAR engine will give you 850Hp in a detuned endurance configuration. They do have an iron block, but this could be overlooked due to all of the other positive aspects of this combination.

[@crztank9298]

S2000 is epic and the f20c looooves booost

[@jmyd83]

3Rotor S2000 maybe ?

[@nuriddinnuriyev2046]

I think a e46 m3 is another great chassis to build and also has a great motor..... but you can run the m5 v10 or the next gen v8......

[@aaronzeigler1332]

Eg33 gt86 rwd with twins

[@jimmac1953]

Why a Ilmor engine and not a Honda Indy V8?

[@hpa101]

It's just what popped up on offer - Taz.

[@igoiks]

Why not 350z? Enough space for v8 great suspension cheap too

[@hpa101]

We have a 350z project here already so know it would take a TON of work to get what we have already setup in another way to where we'd want it to be for this, and it wouldn't be as exciting for us to build a second 350z for a completely irrational reason as well haha - Taz.

[@dekacster]

why is methanol illegal?

[@nunyabidness105]

I believe its because you cannot see it easily when its burning.

[@dekacster]

@@nunyabidness105 ohh ok. im not so well informed about meth, so if you run only on meth u can cheat with that or what?

[@nunyabidness105]

@@dekacster It smells different and burns your eyes. Also it requires a different ring gap because it runs much cooler.

[@martinhulse7402]

[@nunyabidness105]

NSX ?

[@TheNewNoise7]

Turbo K-swapped Toyota MR2 Spyder. 2,000lbs and 600whp, mid engine... throw a wide body kit and big tires. 👌🏻

[@Nikoxion]

Not really related, but why old na F1 engines cost so much more than the indie car engines?

[@troyrees66]

An R5P7 will fit

[@rickybobby7660]

S2000 will struggle to put 600+hp down, go down the mid engined route. Any Lotus chassis should get it done with a FI K24 and there’s tons of proven aftermarket support especially in Europe. Pratt and Miller went through the same struggles competing against MR GT3 cars with a FR platform and ultimately lost out. S2k will also be at least 200kgs heavier, well built series1 based Elise and Exiges regular come in sub 800kg.

[@rusellblack4630]

In a stock engine yes. But if bore it out and go forced induction. Id be more worried about the suspension

[@boblast5582]

just get a Corvette

[@hpa101]

Seems to be a popular platform. Not actually too many of them around these parts. There is one in our class that is well dialed in though. Not at GT3 speed but a nice car - Taz.

[@chestrockwell8328]

Agreed, perhaps not the exciting unique choice but they just make great track machines. C5, C6, or C7. There's a clean C5 Z06 for sale near me for only 12k US. S2000's seem like a smart choice but in reality they are pretty slow. everything is delicate, upgraded components add weight especially if you're going with a 600hp high reving v8. Stripped out C5/C6 is well under 3000 pounds. huge wheels fit, tons of support and ready made parts; on and on.

[@ScottKenny1978]

3 hours barely counts as an endurance race in my book. That's what, 800km or so? I'd personally want to build a full race FD, probably with a 3-rotor if we're talking naturally aspirated, stick with a 2-rotor for turbo work. You kiwis have a serious set of rotary engine builders in country.

[@hpa101]

Long enough for us and our budget, but I'm interested to know what length of endurance race/s you've competed in yourself personally Scott? We're not professionals so even an hour at full race pace is quite taxing and different to a cross country drive with the A/C on and the stereo blaring. Solid FD plan too =D - Taz.

[@ScottKenny1978]

@@hpa101 never raced cars, but as the typical 'Murrican I've done a lot of 500mile drives at ... "speeds above the posted limit", shall we say. Usually not grossly over the speed of traffic. How hard a drive seems to depend on how much turning you're doing. Zooming down the mountain roads takes a lot more out of me than the interstate.

[@ScottKenny1978]

@@hpa101 most auto races in the US are at least 250 miles, some 400, and of course the Daytona and Indy 500s. Then there are the 12hr and 24hr races.

[@michaeltovar6614]

RX-7 FD? S2000 otherwise for sure.

[@roskataqv]

Or just K-swap turbo the gt86, I can't see the S2000 being a better chassis..

[@curvs4me]

Yamaha/Volvo 4.4 liter. Polestar was getting 650hp out of it limited to 7500 rpm. It's 60 degree and very compact. Not to mention, it's less than 1000 bucks for a motor. The 1000 price tag leaves you 19,000 over an ilmor for machining and spares. Veicomer porting is the way to go. You could have two engines and parts for 20k

[@curvs4me]

It not for leaving the rear balance shaft bearing open to the elements it's a work of art, easily capable of 700+ horsepower around 8000rpm with individual itb's
