Progress S2000 powered RT+
I just thought that I would let you all in, on the S2000 powered RT+ that I am building.
I picked the kit up in the middle of April and have now reached the stage were I have got the engine running.
Here are a couple of pictures
I have made a small video of the first start up
Startup
I hope to have the build complete in a couple of weeks, I will then take it to a dyno to get the engine ECU tuned. I will get back to you with dyno
sheets and a small video.

Wow, that is one full engine bay. I can almost climb into mine. That's a very shiny pipe too. Can the inlet plenum and rocker cover be
polished up a bit to match? Should be a very nice car.

Verrrry nice  - just being inquisitive - why the very long intake pipe - at first I thought you had a turbo on it.

I personally think its a Vtec/honda thing, i went to a rolling road day with My new civic type r and it made 205BHP standard it has a quite long
intake pipe and i took it off and put just a filter on with a 1inch pipe to see what i would gain, and suprisingly when dynoed again i lost 10%
power.
needless to say i still have the standard intake.
might have been too much air or it might be something to do with the intake lenght....some one must know.
oh and by the way mate, my 200Bhp civic is $H*T of a shovel and weights about 1500Kg... that Vortx is going to be250BHp and 500KG one fecking fast
car......bolt them seats in tight.
..good luck

It’s a combination of that the Honda engine don’t like the short ram stile intake, the lack of space for the huge KN filter with a flow stack I have,
and that I thought that the air right behind the radiator would be to hot.

How can I possibly criticise that install! However the long metal inlet pipe will pick up some heat from the rad and exhaust. So wrap it (sacrilege
obviously) or just have some decent engine bay vents and that'll help a lot.

Hi!
I remember you picking up your kit when I was at MNR to order ours... you have worked pretty hard to get this far in so little time! Good job!
Great looking car too!

I will log the intake air temp, and wrap it if necessary. I have the bonnet bulge, witch could provide some ventilation, but I cannot decide if I want
it on or not.

Nice meting you, looking forward to following your build. I must admit, that when you first get started, it is hard to stop, I have bin spending
almost all my time on the build.

That is gonna be awesome. Are you going to be running k-pro on it?
MNR and vtec power would be my dream car.
Just think Krismc, if you had a real type r without that weight and longer gears how much quicker would be going

I am going to run the AEM 30-1052U stand alone ECU. Right now I am running the stock ECU, just to make sure that all the wiring is correct. It’s been
a huge job sorting the S2000 wiring harness out.

Mine is a real type R...and it will be even meaner and faster when i fit this......
highly reccomended that you fit one in you kit car...... it comes with a instant death guarentee (or your money back)

£1395 + taxes (if i pay them )...which i think is fairly cheap for all that extra power.

The Hondata K-pro is a very good ECU, especially if you are going to pass emissions tests, because it retains OBD2, it is a stock Honda ECU with a
piggy bag. It is not plug and play on the S2000, you have to change a couple of sensors. Including the parts you have to change, I think that it is
about 2200-2400 $ + shipping and tax, witch makes it pretty expensive. I don’t know if it requires you to keep all the emission stuff on the car, I
think it might.
The AEM EMS is more hardcore, no Honda functions are pre-programmed, and everything needs to be adjusted. It has a lot more inputs and outputs, making
it great for custom engines and forced induction. The AEM is plug and play, but can not be used on emissions controlled cars. The AEM including
wideband, sells for about 1700$ + shipping and tax.
I chose the AEM because I am building a track only car and because I know the ECU very well from another build.
Chris mentioned to me, when I was picking the kit up, that there was a guy not to far from them ,that was an expert on the ECU and wiring, I don’t
know what ECU he is using, but it may be a good solution if anybody else are going for the S2000 engine
