and before everyone goes crazy, there are a couple pro racer guys on here that have an s2000 motor currently fab'd up and mated to a B series tranny and mounted for FWD use, buthow come no one else has??

i mean people are making all the other K series motors work but the s2k is a very powerful motor as well.

because why spend the time and money to do that when you just get a K which is transverse?

f20c = k series cousin

JoeB18R

they have, ive seen it.

mrbsponge

yeah i understand the f20 is the kseries cousing but the s2k makes well over 200 from the factory and seems to be the end all be all new honda motor and i have caught a glimpse of one in a car with a B series tranny and cant wait to see how it does

I'd like to see pics of this!

personally, i dont like the fseries on the s2k. you have to rev the crap out of it to run it well. ive driven many s2ks. stock, supercharged, basic bolt ons, etc. they have no get up and go for around town traffic. the kseries in my opinion is a better engine. you can easily get the kseries up to par with the s2k engine without revving so high, and actually has a better torque band than the fseries. the s2k is just overrated in my opinion. its a great track car. but not great for straight, or around town.

mrbsponge

but what about a k24 in an S2K??????

this one needs to be done ASAP

I just read a post, on HT i believe, with some shop in Florida that was messing around with K series tranny and mated it to the s2k motor. Im sure if you searched around you could find it.

Can you use a tranny that was meant for a counter-clockwise rotating engine(B) on a conventional clockwise rotating engine(F)?

Not without reversing the direction of the engine's rotation. It can be done, but the cost & effort is pretty excessive.

i think it was a K series tranny that was mated to the motor, not a B. i know i had some info wrong about this too

Ok well that makes a lot more sense.

But I still have no idea why you would ditch the K for an F? That doesn't make any sense to me either, unless they were just trying to be different.

This is crap you couldn't use the B-series Trans because the motor rotates the opposite direction. The only viable FWD Trans to use is the K-series and guess what it's been done, see.......

gaskleppie

You mean something like this?
Its made in Belgium for racing purpose only. I thing they hooked the K20 tranny to it.
Its pretty fast!

gaskleppie

And a friend of mine build it into a dirt track racer:



He had some problems to get his wheels on the ground!

ri_rv

bump for more info?

does it need an adapter plate to use the k-series tranny on the f20c?

TurboJesse

why bother? k series is a better motor, more potential and aftermarket....

gaskleppie

An S2k engine is a pain in the *** if you scratch your cylinder walls. You cant simply bore and hone it. Its got some special carbon-whatever walls that are very hard to work on.
This friend of mine has found a way to put steel sleeves in it and its running very well with them. (272BHP on the crank)

mrbsponge

the sleeves are actually better than the K series, it is the honda flagship as far as chassis and engines go. you cant go wrong with it, but i will say this a K series is no slouch either, also right now it is so mucj easier to get your hands ona K series than an s2k motor. so i see where some of you are coming form
