Title: J37 S2000 Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on December 22, 2009, 11:18:09 AM seen this on v6p. dont see it here. not sure how often you on v6p
(http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/assets_c/2009/12/hpd_s2000_acuraV6blog-thumb-717x477.jpg) Quote Quote: Here's a Honda S2000 that should have been built before Honda killed its open-top sportscar: Instead of a maniacally revving 2.2-liter, this S2000CR, recently modified by Honda Performance Development (HPD), has the 3.7-liter V6 from the Acura TL SH-AWD. We expect the S2000 chassis is plenty robust enough to handle the bigger engine, since it's already proven able to cope with a V10. A cut-and-shut Honda S2000 chassis was used as a mule during development of the second-generation Acura NSX. We'll keep you updated on this project.

Title: Re: J37 S2000 Post by: slipkord on December 22, 2009, 04:39:07 PM I wonder how much heaver the J37 is compared to the stock 2.2L. Should be a little nose heavy now?

That's the other thing I thought about. The weight balance for the s2k is pretty close to 50/50 stock. I'm curious what the percentages look like now.I'll have to take a look at that link later on.. Title: Re: J37 S2000 Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on December 22, 2009, 04:54:27 PM somebody said on v6p that difference is only like 50-70 pounds based on shipping weight of engines that person shipped and recived

Believe it or not, only about 50lbs, the J-Sieries is the most potent per LB production engine I have seen to date. And 50lbs is easy to move from front to back, hell 25lbs just by moving the battery from the hood to the trunk, there goes the 50lbs difference........

Title: Re: J37 S2000 Post by: Rich01 on December 27, 2009, 11:11:31 PM Hey Tim, think Dom might be jealous?
Title: Re: J37 S2000 Post by: timot_one on December 28, 2009, 12:31:54 AM Probably not. Once he's on kpro, his car will be even meaner.
Title: Re: J37 S2000 Post by: Silver Bullet on December 28, 2009, 02:11:23 AM this is exactly what the s2000 always needed. now it's got balls
