should i put a 2jz in a s2k

[josh green]

The SR20 makes more than enough power for pretty much anything. the point of posting drag engines was to show the lack of limitation to the engine, however unrealistic 1300hp in a street car is.... if you really wanted it... an sr20 could provide it. The reason of comparing the SR20 to the 2jz is that the sr20 isnt gonna destroy the drivability of the s2000. SR20 is relatively the same size as the s2k engine, and has the same driving characteristics that you would want for your s2k.

why would anyone doing an engine swap give a fuck about a stock engine? if the s2k engine isnt enough for you and youre considering a swap? why is a dumbass like you even mentioning stock engines. If you want a stock engine, keep the stock engine. If you want more power..... theres a ton of options... 2jz, rb, ls1.. ect ect.... if you want more power in an engine that is basically the same thing that came in your car with far greater aftermarket support and proven background, the sr20 fits the bill.

Sr20 is not a lesser engine, youre talking about stock engines because thats what fits your moronic argument. sr20 can be built above and beyond what the s2k is capable of. It's been done time and time again.

What I don't understand is why you keep mentioning non stock engines? Most of the time an out of original manufacturer swap is done so that person DOESNT have to build an engine. The 2jz in stock form is more powerful and supports more power than the stock s2k engine in its stock form. In comparing the f20c/f22c engines in the s2k's to the SR, the Honda engine in superior in stock form than the SR. He also never mentions building either of the engines. Retaining the stock engine would also prevent any wiring or fabrication that goes along with an out of manufacturer swap, the same goes for the SR. I do not know the extent of his automotive knowledge, but someone asking a question of such most likely doesn't posses the tools or the know how in doing such a swap. I could very well be mistaken by his abilities, but its much easier to bolt on a turbo kit and take appropriate safety measures then to undergo destruction of a car.
Posting the drag setups was pointless, I never questioned what limitations the castings have only the limitations of the factory rotating assembly. No engine is "limitless," at some point its design will fail in some way or another.
I guess my "moronic" argument was just me sticking to the curriculum and you bringing the wrong books to class...

To the OP,
Stick with the stock engine, boost it and buy an Inline Pro rear end kit if you are serious about making power. If you have no intentions of going over the 350-400hp range then the stock rear end should hold up for a while. This is you cheapest route and will also net you the quickest turnaround on going fast and having fun. Not to mention much easier to sell if you want or had to get rid of it.

gahhhh kill em!!!!

Hardly a kill, killing is what MSSRACING has done at the track...

Why go thru all the trouble of swapping an engine just to add the HP difference from f20 to a 2jz? not to mention, greatly reducing how the car is going to perform in the twistys and losing the "fun factor" of the f20. also, it's not like 2jz/sr20s are factory fresh these days.... id rebuild either before putting them in my car. Unless you trust what the ebay adds tell you.

either way, i think we're wasting our efforts on this debate.
