I Love these overview videos! Its really refreshing seeing NA setups rather than FI. It's much more raw and pure and it's amazing to see the trial/error in research to achieve that .

The Honda S2000 ROCKS

Amazing results, that is a huge gain across the rev range, well done.

Excellent briefing and explanation over technical matters !!! Great to see that a N/A S2k is still a viable option for those wanting to stay true to the original form and not go the crazy boosted route ... I personally approve and prefer your way of exploring every last drop of performance in the original Aspiration and keeping attention to all the little details that eventually add up ... Keep up the S2k videos ... They draw more attention and views i believe ....

Even as an ‘experienced’ NA car enthusiast I’m still learning from your videos, great stuff 👍🏻

Great setup and results! Impressive torque gain throughout the entire rpm range!! very nice

That's a great video man!At last someone's tuning he F20c the proper n/a way.I think that the dream f20c is n/a,revving and making power till 9500rpm with a c/r somewhere between 12.8-13.2 and itbs!A light(2500-2600lb) s2000 with 240-250whp from 2lit is the perfect n/a s2000.Keep on the great job!

Never thought you could squeeze that much more power out of an N/A F series. This is incredible!

Can’t wait to one day own an s2000, this series makes we want one even more! Some of the best Japanese cars ever made. Behind the Fd of course ;)

I’m a big fan of Alex and his work. I have a lot of his parts on my AP2. If you ever head to San Diego you are welcome to give mine a rip.

I love the detail you went into on this build. I have a AP2, and I definitely want to do some similar things to the NA tuning (really want ITB's also)

s2k looking good and sounding even better

Awesome to see someone else out there going down the same path I am. I have an all motor F22C with untouched bottom end, stock compression, and stock can that made 239whp last year with burnt exhaust valves and 220psi on each cylinder. I had the head rebuilt and refurbished to factory condition and did not shave it. I'll be installing the PLM race header in 1-2 weeks to replace my Megan V2 header, and the rest of the exhaust is nearly identical to yours. I am running the K&N true cold air intake (in the front bumper) which is one of the bigger differences we have. I'm hoping the better header and refreshed head back to 240psi on all four cylinders will be enough to put it near 250whp. And then perhaps I'll go for the Ballade or Brian Cower cams to lock it in. Tons of fun though. I loved this video because everything you described was like an identical replay of my life in the last 12 months where I experimented with several different setups, exhausts, and relentlessly browsing S2Ki to scrape together any amount of factual information that could help. The exhaust (as you know) on the S2000 is ultra finicky with even the smallest change causing the power band to shift, go up, or go down. The only thing I wish played out better was the new Ballade 70mm single exhaust (ASM remake). I placed an order back in April or May back when it was first announced, and the expected ship date was in June. They went through some delays and I think I waited until August or September before I cancelled the order and ordered the EVS SSP 70mm and custom modified it for a very very quiet street experience that sounds fantastic at 5500+ RPM. Anyway, again, loved the video. Let me know if you have an email and we can get in contact since we have nearly identical goals for our S2000's.

I love this s2000 build, all motor baby.

I think this is great, I had no mechanical background but I completely understand what you're saying.

Very nice. Let’s see that drag race, I know New England winter hasn’t kicked in yet. Thanks for the content.

Great videos. Will be ordering a ballade sports header for my Itb build! Appreciate the knowledge.

Well sold me on which header to buy. Going to try this header/cam combo out on my AP2 and see how much more power we can pull out of it 👍🏻

Your set up is my dream S2000, hope I will be able to buy one soon and tune it just like yours, for now I'll stick with my NB Hope to see videos of the new setup driving hard on your channel !

I want to see this thing on the road!!!! LETS GO!!!!

Awesome setup and informative video

Been following your Ap1 for q long time. Really like this set up. Getting ready to build my f20. Think I’m going to copy you and base my NA build around what you did. Save myself a trial and error headache😅.

Love the content bro!! 👍👍

Nice video!

Thanks, Quinn for making great videos. Probably my favorite automotive channel. I love how technically detailed and no nonsense these videos get. I can really nerd out watching these. I've been following since the nb itb miata videos back a few years ago and you even offered more info to me personally when I had questions. I love the S2000 as well and love the approach to tuning this car. It's the way I would approach it as I am a fan of finely tuned n/a engines. By the way, I was wondering if you still had the RX-8 and if so, if you had more plans for further tuning. I loved that series as well and actually was hoping for more n/a rotary tuning. I know there's really not much you can do n/a with the renesis engine, but what about, say, lightened rotors, porting, or induction system tuning? Not necessarily for chasing big hp numbers, which wouldn't really be possible to do on a street rotary, unless you swapped to a 20b triple rotary (which would be missing the point of a somewhat budget build), but more for the way the engine delivers that power or increasing engine response and redline?

Great video

I love these videos

Nice gains but i think other intake add more power. Buy 3,5" pipes and elbows and test on dyno the lenght. What is the best for this setup.

Definitely enjoyed the video. However after watching, my inner car dork is wanting "moar compression!!!" Thanks again for the content and keeping me engaged in a relatively mild Miata build on my end. Need to reach out to Maruha-san about 1.6 intake cams.

I’m glad you done these videos I been on the fence on the Ballade header. One question though on your video the header seems to be one piece but on their website looks like a two piece design and worried about leaks. Is yours a two piece?

Wow thats some nice gains on the new setup! What are your thoughts on the ballade adjustable timing gear and fluidampr? Looking to add those mods to my car next

The Graph is really good now.

Before the S2K went over 7500 rpm, after the VTEC changeover, it almost sounded like a Mercedes AMG GT3 V8. It’s different, and it sounds absolutely insane. Once past 7500 rpm, it’s just demon time for the S2K

Those are some impressive numbers to be sure. I'd like to see if it runs any faster at Lime Rock now.

You go to Ralphie too for the dyno!? He's the best! That's some serious grunt for an AP1 N/A wow

Are you ever gonna get to building that beauty of a Z4M Coupe? I’d be EXTREMELY interested in seeing what kind of NA power you can extract from the beautiful S54 in there, with the same kind of philosophy you applied to your S2K.

Hey! I wanted to throw this out there as a video idea since you’re running a Haltech. I have one as well and decided to delete the air pump and EGR valve. It saves a bit of weight and cleans up the engine bay; no CEL on that ECU. Just did this mod myself!

Would love to see you go all the way like you did with the NB and put ITBs on the s2000

Great video! Definitely excited to begin this process on mine. I was going to skip cams but I think now I'm going to shell out some bucks for the ballade sports ones. Thanks for all the great information tips and being a test mule. 🤣 Are you going to show the race with the genny? I have a similar gains base map going with my friends 370Z.

Veri gud content. Much like

I need to see you drive your route that you did with the rx8 in the intro vid with it. But with this new set up

Great result bravo!! What did you use for fuel? ethanol or gasoline, +octane if it's gasoline?

Man I love your channel based on your knowledge on how everything in a build all works together. It’s not just slapping on parts

Truly amazing results, congrats. Is there a list of all modifications somewhere? I want to pin it on the wall for my future me, because this setup looks to be doable by ordinary people.

How do you like the haltec unit and which one do you have? Looking to get an EMS and deciding which to get…any feedback is greatly appreciated ! Love the videos!

I hope you do a Webinar on the J's Header

If you can put a price and a time frame on it what would you estimate at?

Love the new sound, very unique.

Dr Honda quinn...can you now get to work on the covid problems....:) graphs look like a rollercoaster turned into a ski slope...... I lost a little power on my mAz 3 had a new chain at 105k... and it brought things back up.. in depth and informative... My mom may have questions about the engine....will let you know..... :) Many thanks N x

With the amount of cyl head development, I’m surprised that you did not modify the intake manifold and throttle body .

do you have a list of where you got all your parts? or did you get them all from ballade sports.

Buy an Mx5 Nc, and make great videos like this series for us too 😁✌️

More s2000 content !

What oil do you use? I just bought a S2k and I’m doing first oil change

Hey man, I just wanted to know how much of a difference the Fluidampr crank pulley made in both power and feel (vibration coming from the engine).

Do you have a build sheet? I am in Connecticut as well. Who do you use for tuning?

Any updates? Is the car still running with all those Ballade parts being used? 😁

Holy Shit Quinn! Those N/A #'s are fuckin' insane. Awesome...

Hope one of you guys can help . Been wanting to put a oil catch can . Just wanted to know if you guys still keep your pcv valve ? Or what setups is highly recommended?

This thing sounds so mean now, so much power gain! Glad this setup worked out

Research, pull trigger, enjoy pudding. Well done professor Quinn.

A good n/a its nothing without a good gearbox. Any gears or final drive changed?

Is there any room in the head to do some porting and polishing?

btw the links for ballade in description is incorrect.

I wish someone would put a K/F series in a Superlite or Ultima, how fun would that be? (well actually I did it on Assetto Corsa and its lots)

finally caught up lol

What octane are you running ?

what is motor tuning?

Are you or have you considered changing final drive ratio?

With the new found power, You have to rerelease a new video, Matchew’s Jenny vs. the Miata, but for men!

Would getting the Spoon gasket be worth it without a tune for now? I plan to get a tune In the future

now lets see driving footage.

This car is definitely a forever car in my heart. Dream car for sure (L)

Would love to see a pull against the Z4M 🙏👍😎

Do you think ballade sports is becoming more trust worthy regarding their parts? I haven’t heard a lot of good things about them in the past.

Man, this sucks! I don't have money to replicate your build 😅. Seriously, great build 👏🏾 👌🏾 and awesome guidance.

team badassery sent me

😍😍💪🏽💪🏽

In II to win it

Enjoyed this immensely. Be like the JDM trendy kids and do Toda ITB's next or if you want to embrace your inner Boomer, put your Air Monarchs, jorts and fanny pack on.....Kinslers.

No more Ryan? I def missed something lol

What’s your compression ratio ?

its sick, but its still pennies.

Woulda made more power if that motor mount wasn't still broken.🙃

I think the video sucks. Lol nah... the info and all the technical overlook was very very informative. Boost is fun and all but NA is such a different beast without the 400hp (I own a boosted k series and NA S2k)

14hp 😬

1-4/2-3 is superior for mid power. But tubing is size trash.

All motor wait huh =/ I see A engine but no motor. lol

So All Talking No Driving :(
