Here's a man who knows his stuff about Motors :)

The S2000 in the vid sounds like a tractor tbh.. and the stainless guard with the screws out of the wing looked amateur at best.

You also don't realy hear the motorbike engines 'screaming' which suggests to me that they were bogging the bikes down to try and make the car look quicker.

clarkey, if that video is to be beleived then that is shockingly fast

it's real all right, no BS power figures there. Lighting up just from roll-on in third is pretty impressive! I want to see that car carry on accelerating in 5th, might just break 200mph with its increased rpm limit.
 
I too am skeptical its 700hp. Wouldn't 3rd gear foot to the floor spin the wheels up on a relatively low geared car like an S2000 with 700hp? I didn't hear any evidence of wheelspin in the sound.
 
Guys the 700whp figure was just for a dyno queen run.....if you actually watched the video you'd have seen that most of the runs are on 8psi...or can you not read?

This would probably only put it around 320-350whp or so max on pump gas.

For the run against the bike it looks believable that it was running 600whp but night rolling race vids like that are stupid and hard to see anything.

Well if thats the case the bikes were not trying as yer looking close to 700+ bhp to compete with a big bike . And i cant say its a sleeper eithier . When he raced the 600 that looked about right even though they moaned about missing a gear but with the gsxr i dont think it was very accurate . Also bikes wont wheely off the the throttle in a roll on speed test unless you clutch it up and would be kinda pointless in a roll on test .

Unfortunately the s2ki forums are down at the moment so I can't find more examples from the fi section of the forum.

Will, phils2k on the uk section of s2ki is the person I mentoined in my previous post. He too uses stock calipers but uprated discs and pads, no complaints from him as yet. However one of the guys at a meet on Sunday had just had his supercharger mapped, running over 400 at the wheels and he had stock pads and discs, he did passenger rides and stopped after 3 as his brakes were cooked.

Wrt the mase turbo kit for the s2k, this is what phils2k has and it's now available for just over 4k.
 
You can boost high c/r motors, just means you have a smaller margin of error when tuning...and of course the octane rating limits you.

I had a buddy who had a boosted b18c which has an 11.1:1 c/r yet he managed 10psi on 91 octane and made 260whp daily driven....have not spoken with him in a bit but as far as I know it's still running fine.

For the S2K higher boost levels there's no doubt he's running race gas.

first thing I modify if im planning power upgrades is brakes

the standard s2k brakes whilst decent enough really arent up to the task, its all about personal safety for me, if im going to go faster/quicker I also want to stop with the same improved efficiency.

americans never seem to bother with tranmission upgrades :confused:
 
the stock tranny is pretty good on the S2K....probably wouldn't last long with 700whp but I really don't think he's ever run that on the street.
 
ill completely admit, ive missed up changes before on various times... and its usualyl at critical times (at santa pod, when youve got timing gear on the car). i can drive thousands of miles between mis-shifts but seem to mess them up when anything is being timed

truth.

Basically because you are racing your aim is to get back into gear and on throttle as fast as possible. In doing so you may be too keen to get back on to the trottle and off the clutch before its fully engaged.

Anybody who hasnt mis-shifted in this scenario isnt trying hard enough :D Doesnt happen on the bike as on these sort of runs i dont bother with the clutch and only lift off the throttle marginally and just drag it into gear :o

(and how you'd miss a down-shift is puzzling? Unless it pops back out with too much engine speed?)
