You guys have it all wrong. Why spend any money on those rice rigs. You can get a 20 yr old 944 T, and with a couple of simple bolt-ons, destroy any S2000 in acceleration (handling pretty even). I could leave an S2000 so far behind by third gear, it wasn't funny, it was embarrassing. I did it with mine on a nearly daily basis (there are S2000 coming out of the weeds around here). A well sorted out 944T consumes 60-120mph very quickly, cruises along at 140mph all day with no strain, and can get 25-28mpg if you don't beat on it. You can get a decent one for $8k, then do a few mods and you have a monster. The big, rugged (but yes, expensive to fix) 2.5L engine already has a water cooled turbo with shut down timer, external oil cooler, beautiful factory headers, big brakes which are ducted and cooled for track, tranny cooler and LSD, etc. all the go fast parts are already built in. Really wish I hadn't sold mine.

Long live the 944T!

Rice rig...? Ok, so you say 8k, I didn't buy my rx7, I traded parts for it. I drop 8k into that car and it'll throw down 350+ to the wheels, and have a better power to weight than any car... (except maybe a lotus) You ever raced a 350+ whp rx7? Try it...

[volcano]

i had the chance to drive my dads friend rx7 it was a mid to late 80's model that had a jdm engine all i know it was rotary n turbo. that car was f-ing fast even with a bad diff.

I own an 87. I will be getting the JDM motor, I will be rebuilding said JDM and porting it, I will then place a turbo bigger than a small child on said ported JDM motor...

[DasBohan]

Id take the rex

BoostedJti Pwnin Noobs since 1989, on a side note boosted if.....when you manage to crank 350+ outta that bad boy you're going to have a better hp:weight ration than most motorcycles

As long as I can eat off it...

[GTiJorgeGTi]

sk2's are fast. like krypton said. they have better power to wieght. but if you have chip cai, etc you shoukd beat them. i beat Chipped STI's =).

[boostedJTi]

a chipped STI?

THat seems a little far... Race my friends STI, from a stop or roll, he would eat you... and it's all stock minus a couple parts

[D.Light]

I MAY, hopefully may, just need to be able to beat the WRX, hopefully, don't feel like goin Bt to beat an sti

[Jyden]

I test drove a S2000 at lunch yesterday (bored and already ate). Yeah...I'm 6ft and I wanted THE HELL OUT OF THAT CAR a few minutes into driving it. Even with the top down I felt like I was stuck where I was no matter how much I moved. And man, that thing has such a slow feel. Biggest thing that bugged me was the shifter, almost seems like it's electronic from the "lag" I felt shifting.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of Hondas. Torque deprived just about sums it all up.

[Teh Chr!s]

Aww Sheet He Brought This Thread Back To Life ... Here Come The Honda Fanboys Again To Argue With Me

[Jyden]

Doesn't the fact that they're fanboys effectively nullify any argument they might have since they'll hump anything with V-TEC in it?

[Teh Chr!s]

It Should But It Didnt ..... Read A Few Pages Back Where I Finally Gave Up On Them

[kryptonkid07]

whoa... where was i?


this thread would've been all over.

[boostedJTi]

I man handled it. Guys never came to me about the race either... Guess the rex ran them beotches off...

[kryptonkid07]

i went over to the s2000 forums from where they came and they were all butthurt....

i know some of the guys here are underestimating the s2000... the thing about the s2000 is that you have to know how to drive it... those things are only good if you bouncing off the redline.... shifting way over 7000RPMS... you gotta launch almost that high too...


I don't think a stock GTI could take on a stock s2000... i don't know how they'd do against a stage 2 or 3.

[D.Light]

Thats the thing I mean a hondata chip will get you like 10 HP? And for us chips free up about 40 or so and like 50 extra ft lbs as well so I think they severely underestimate a good tune on a boosted car

[boostedJTi]

Ah krypton but you have no faith sir... My "stock" GTi raped an s2k. I had an intake... From a launch I had 1 car on him and when I hit 2nd gear, i had him by 2...

And from me, I've drifted an s2k a few times so I know how they drive... I can honestly say a stage 2 GTi is much much faster than a stock s2k

[Teh Chr!s]

You Sir Are Correct ..... My Stock (Only Intake And Tint LOL) GTI Killed My First S2k ... Then Stage 1 APR Got My 2nd Kill ... Have Yet To Find One Since Stage 2 Upgrade But When I Do U Guys Will Know Since Ill Have Enuf Time To Get The Camera Out And Rolling WHile Hes Tryn To Max The RPMs Out And Im Pulling Away LOL

[southernGTI]

Teh Chr!s.. i see you have a mkv running 24psi....is this with stock turbo? Guess so with stage 2 stuff and not stage 3 but just asking anyway

[boostedJTi]

Yes stock turbo, he won't admit to it but he will either be doing a k04 upgrade or skipping straight to a big turbo...

[Teh Chr!s]

U Sir Are Correct Eventially I Will Put Me A Nice BIG Garrett Turbo On It Or The K04 And Injectors Offa An Audi S3

[southernGTI]

so i take it that the k04 has the intergrated exhaust manifold also or is a 2 piece set-up that still works with the mkv head?

[CMAK]

the apr kit comes with headers and i may be mistaken but i think that it is a ko4 turbo

[fastgti]

okay i got the ko4 turbo with the stage 3 revo softwear. it comes witht he manifold and it bolts strait on to the head. it comes with the fuel pump, injectors and cold air intake. with all mounting hardwear and attachments. here is the link were i got mine. if you read my signature that tells you what all i got and i payed 7000 for it all along with a greddy turbo timer and the boost guage and pod that sits on the stearing colum. the site is. www.kmdtuning.com if you call and talk to them and you talk to mike than tell him that jeff hougnon sent you. i have been dealing with him the whole time on getting my stuff shipped.

[fastgti]

the kit cost 3250. and it is very user friendly on the website.

[CMAK]

dude make a thread and post photos and updates and whatnot

[fastgti]

i will. but i am in iraq right now and i get back to germay where i am stationed and i am going to holland to get the revo stage3 and all the parts put on. i know i talk about it and it is my signature but it is not installed. when i get back from rome i am going to do all the photos and post them and also with the admins permission i am going to post the dyno. but i will let you know when it is completed.

[CMAK]

sounds good. btw hope that all goes well in Iraq

[fastgti]

thanks everything should be good. i just hope the display is in english and not dutch. every thing is good in iraq. thanks for your comment. its good to hear some one saysomething some times.

btw. what do you go for up grades

[SimplyRevs]

Do you guys understand that my S2000 when it was completely stock, ran a better time then probably 75-80% of you stage 2 guys? And I'm talking about off the show room stock. You guys really need to bump into a well driven s2000 before you just shoot them down, and talk **** about them. I'm not saying that their fast by any means, because in the world of actual fast cars out there, neither are anywhere near the middle of the pack, let alone the top. But when driven correctly, the S2000 is a faster car then its reputation precedes.


Most basic stage 2 MKV's (I/DP/Chip) will probably lose in a drag race to a well driven s2000. I can comply and realize this is a GTIforum, so of coarse its going to be pro GTI. But reality is reality. And the reality that a stock S2000 is capable of running 13.6's @ 102 mph stock down to the tire, seems a little far fetched for some of you I can see.

What do most (key word) stage 2 GTI's run at the track? How about stage 1's? Stock?

I have probably 5 or 6 good friends with bolt-on MK5's. Two are DSG equipted with LC, and the others are 6 speed. The best stock time anyone of them ran was one of the DSG cars, who went 14.6@94mph! 94 mph! You honestly think a car trapping in the mid 90's will actually have the ability to pull on a well driven car that traps in the 100's?!?! Nooo. You'd be much better off trying your luck with a stock RSX-s, who stock runs in the 14.5 range trapping ~94-95. But not an S2000.

Modding: My buddies run with 3 different companies when it came time for the ECU work. One runs with USP motorsports who specialize in APR tuned cars. He now has stage 2 software, with EVOms intake, 3" APR DP, forge DV, and a short shifter to go along with his back seats taken out. He ran his car at Fixxfest last year with these same mods and couldn't break a 14.1, and was only trapping ~ 98-99mph at bradenton! SO he tried out a different track down here...Moroso....No better luck. Still a low 14 second car. That was a 6 speed, with APR.

My boy has a Fahrenheit DSG MKV. He chose the GIAC route. He has evoms intake, 3" ATP DP, connected to a TWE exhaust, short shift kit, methanol, and I forgot something else I'm sure.. Anyway, he didn't run at the track yet, but yet he gets pulled on from a roll by the same 6 speed APR car that traps ~ 100mph. Hmmm...

I've seen freak times of stage 1 MKV's running like a 13.9@98 or some ****. It really makes me wonder what kind of tires they were using, because I find it funny none of the stage 2 guys around me down here in south Florida (there are a **** ton of you) seem to run that hard. They have hell of 2nd and 3rd gears, getting you all excited about how fast the car feels with 300ft. lbs. But yet they die out, and end up losing that same race they were just stedily pulling in, top end. Why is this?

I now have a bolt-on all motor S2000 which currently runs a 12.9@107mph. You may see why I take some offence to some of the comments in here. I know what the car can do, and what it can not. But stage 1 and stock GTI MKV's really shouldn;t even be a race for a well driven S2000.

[Silverstonejedi]

You guys are ALL fools..Say waht you will post. Until you find competition mod for mod, then talk crap. You guys can NEVER compare to an S2k on ANY level. You want FI? You will NEVER surpass the s2k. Set it up locally and I'll show you what an s2k can do...Stop talking crap over the internet and man up...Socal here....pm me and we can basically set something up for every caliber GTI you wanna bring...Cant wait! You are all pee wee's that can never compete.

[fastgti]

okay so anyways not every ones opinions are the same. i have not raced a hond s2k so i do not know but if you are all implying that everone here is a what did you say umm pee wee than just leave. there is no reason for people to start talking **** aobut people. i say if you have raced a car than say you raced a car. do not talk aobut the people being pee wees. that is more imature that talking **** about the car.

[fastgti]

like so back to the subject at hand. does anyone have the revo stage 3. if so did you get the revo select plus? how do you like it and did the valet key still work with it. thanks for the imput

And who the f*ck are you again? You're the one comin in here sh*t talkin. As for forced induction VW does it, and always will do it better, our motors are built stronger to handle boost, the weakest part fails at over 300 ft/lbs, which is more than the turbo can throw at it what about you? The real actual point of contention on these cars is stock turbo so if you guys want to slap on a s-chrgr or turbo, let us get the same one, you;ll soon see that you will be quickly eating your words, its going to come down to power band not power spike, which if you put the same turbo on both cars guess whats going to happen, vw will have constant power from 2500 to 7k, honda from 5500 to 8500. you should really read before criticizing another company's engine building, it's fanboys like yourself that make people look down on the honda crowd, hopefully all of the other s2k owners/drivers on this site realize this about you as well and disaccociate themselves from you so that the sh!tty attitudes of a few honda owners don't completely ruin their entire scene like you have been for years.

Id stay away from this one guys. His S2k's flux capacitor is running way over 1.21 jigawatts and will go back in time to beat any GTI or VW. Cant you tell by his typed CONVICTION? And why are you on here reviveing an old thread anyway? Shouldnt you be out smoking everything with a minimum of two wheels?
