I may be getting a s2000 engine and tranny soon and was wondering if it would work in my 03 zx3, im tired of being restricted to 170whp, i want to go fast!!! and no i dont have 170whp but thats about all we can squeeze out of our cars without extensive mods and then it wouldnt even be fun to drive it would be cammin so hard
yeah sure it will work...
but by the time you get it to work, and all the money you would spend it to make it work, you could have built one hell of a turbo motor.
dude its just not worth it

To put this in perspective...
You work at Microsoft... on a Mac.

I had a thermal r&d exhaust on it, so it had a nice deep tone. I didnt like how loud it was from 7-9000 tho. way too loud. as long as you get flat dish pistons and a thinner headgasket you can get some decent power out of it. the only thing that sucks about it is the toda cams are really really hard on timing belts. you gotta change em every year or you run the risk of a bad time on the side of the road. having to have you and your...
