K20C S2000 Swap: Rear Wheel Drive Type R Power
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
The S2000 is the FR Honda that showed the world that Honda could make an amazing handling rear wheel drive sports car. It came in two flavors: F20 and F22 powered. Both engines were screamers with the redline of the F20 at 9,000 RPM. Honestly, the only criticism of the S2000 was the power. Of course, our friends at Science of Speed agree. They worked with HPD to get brand new K20C engines. Then they developed the rest of the stuff need to get that Type R power to work in the S2000. Hasport Performance helped with the brackets for the two engine mounting options.
