kind of a project, had it in once and i had to redo it because i wanted to keep the weight balance as close as possible. i moved the engine back another 3.5 inches and lowered it some. i pretty much have to redo everything now. the car is lighter now in front due to the battery relocation, abs delete and stripping. it is also getting a full wire tuck and engine bay shave. please give me some ideas for headers, leaning towards making my own-trying to keep them longtubes.

finally someone gave the s2000 a motor it deserves, looking good

 

Welcome and nice looking setup.
It would be difficult to tell what headers can fit in there. Do you have a pic of the undercarriage and of the space between the engine and the rails.

You could try the RX7 headers from JTR. They run very close to the block. Would be worth a try.

 

sweet swap! that will be extremely fun to drive

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!! This car should be a lot of fun. Keep us posted with finished pics and track times.

 

Subscribing!

I have always wanted to see this swap and tried to convince a friend of mine to do it.

As far as headers go, I am not sure, but I would think that making your own custom set would be the way to go.

 

that is gonna be sick

 

so i think you have made the phrase 'no matter what you do to a honda......its still a honda' a whole new meaning

 

subscribing. down the road when i am rich and have a lot of time i want to do this. make a detailed write up and then sell it! i would buy!

 

 

This is imo going to be the sickest ls1 swap ever. . . .glad to see that you are actually doing it right so it still has good weight distribution. Cannot wait to see final results

 

bad ***, you might try hensonsupercars.com, they do alot of rx7 ls1 swaps.


glad to see my motor went to good use. Good luck

 

Sawwwwweet, subscribing. Looks great!

 

very nice. im not sure about hinson headers. get a good pics of the sides and any problems there might be and some will give you some ideas on the headers.

 

wow man that is cool.. I like the body style. I vote custom headers

 

i really like the S2000's, look kinda like a mini Viper to me, maybe just me idk!? can't wait to see this complete, good luck with it.

 

WOW man i have been looking into this swap! i have been looking for a shell to do something like this but i got an rx7 instead

 

Awesome!
Need more pics!
I want to see the chopped and patched rear engine supports and your motor mount setup.
Are you using the corvette/gto aluminum brackets and mounts?

I subscribed to a different thread about an s2000 build but it hasn't been updated...https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversions-swaps/687861-s2000-ls1.html

Really interested in the progress.

 

will be getting pics as i move along, the chopped portions you speak of are the tunnel reinforcements that fade into the "rails". they have to be cut if you want to push the motor back against the firewall, i cut them out and welded in 1/8 plate steel to connect the 2 seperated sections. i made my own custom mounts and once everything is back together i will take some pics for you.

 

wicked, i was just talking about this recently, i'm so glad someone's doing it

good luck man, cant wait till its done
